les bon temps roulez
hey y'all!
last week hb & i went out to pozole with missy to bid her farewell! she will be moving to new orleans to accept a new job, and move in with her bf. y'all, even though i'm happy to have a place to stay when i'm in new orleans, missy is a dear friend that we will miss so much! we used to do sunday afternoons filled with wii and dinner, and she's been someone that allowed me to experience a lot that i would have otherwise not been able to experience (the acc tourney, a game at cameron indoor, watching the terps play ga tech). so to missy - good luck, and know you will be missed!!

another 5k
hey y'all!
soon after the cherry blossom 5k, hb and i decided it would be good to keep up with our running by doing another 5k. we chose the sweetwater 420fest 5k that goes around the candler park area of atlanta. this neighborhood has really beautiful homes, but y'all, it's uphill and downhill. it was a MUCH tougher 5k than the cherry blossom one! at one point, hb & i were the last two in the race with the police trailing us!! we did give it a go at the end and ended up finishing in an hour!! to be honest, we probably could have done better, but i just didn't have it in me to constantly run, so we walked for a good amount. i never felt so happy to finish a race! included in the entry fee, was a free sweetwater beer...i got the blue, and it was pretty tasty, but after splitting a chicken pita with hb, i had to have my ipa before i left. it is so tasty! if you love grapefruit, then you will love the sweetwater ipa! i also entered in a trivia challenge, and won a car kit and t-shirt from gas south!
here we are sitting after our lunch and trivia!

cherry blossom 5k
hey y'all!
so the weekend after nyc, i flew up to dc to run in the cherry blossom 5k. i had a goal of finishing in 45 minutes. my final time was 45:57! so close! i have to say we had a lot of support during the run. jl ran the 10 miler and had his parents there rooting him on. our mutual friends ajg & steven also came out to support. here i am posing for ajg and steven when i finally saw them for my run.
i was so happy to complete it! i was especially thankful to everyone that came out to support. ajg, steven, k&c rop, hb's sis aki, alice, and of course jl's parents! they were the sweetest, and hearing them cheer us all on was great! jl finished in about 1hr 20 mins for the 10 miler, and unfortunately hb had some really bad knee pain at mile 6 that he made the decision to stop right there, and did not finish. we are all looking forward to running more races soon! my ultimate goal will be to do the 10 miler eventually!!

nyc
as promised a post on nyc!
at the end of march, i got to see my very dear friend scriv in nyc. he lives in chelsea, and has a beautiful apartment. it was definitely a change of scenery from atlanta! i arrived, and we went to a diner for dinner and then met up for some drinks with his pals that night near nyu. y'all i walked so much on this trip! the next day we headed to soho for some shopping. if you are ever in nyc, check out uniqlo. they have really nice basics and also some great cashmere blends for pretty cheap! i got a cashmere/cotton tee for $19. i wish i had a uniqlo nearby, but then again i might be there 24/7 so it could be a good thing! we walked through the park that is close to the flatiron building a lot, and there is a shake shack there! friday we were walking back to the apartment, and wanted to stop but the line is so long! we opted for sushi instead, and i'm glad we did! it was so good!! the next day, before i left, we did make it to the shake shack, and y'all i promise this will probably be one of the top burgers you will ever eat in your life! i'm not a big fan of milkshakes, but scriv got one and he thought it was quite tasty!
the celebrity sighting was on saturday at the shake shack! y'all tyler florence must have been doing a segement on the place because we saw him filming right by it!! check out the pic! i wasn't able to go and get his autograph, but i did get to take a pic while he was filming!

slacker city
hey y'all!
it's been so long! i know! i've been in slacker city. work has been super hectic, and i finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. i've been super stressed, not exercising, and eating terrible. BUT today is the first day of the rest of my life...i did the 30day shred workout this morning, and i hope to continue doing it throughout the month. one day at a time! i have taken a couple more trips since my last post, and i hope to share some pictures with y'all soon!
at the end of the month, hb & i have our party in mexico to celebrate our union. i'm kind of nervous about it with the swine flu, and also, i have not gotten our tickets, nor have i gone to get my dress altered! i've got a lot to do and work on, but i'm trying to stay cool, calm and collected. i have my list and i just need to start scratching things off :)
i really have to thank y'all for keeping up with your blogs as it has allowed me some time to just take a breather and not think about work! more coming up soon, I PROMISE!

thankful
hey y'all! thanks so much for the supportive comments on my momzilla post! it really helped me out!
i'm feeling really thankful today because yesterday before i left work for the day, two coworkers were told that yesterday was their last day. i am so super thankful to have a job right now in this economy, and i hope that my old coworkers have an easy time finding a job.
on a lighter note, i went to nyc this past weekend, and i'm going to dc for my 5k run/walk this weekend! i'll have more posts to follow with pictures too!
