This weekend....


Every weekend I think to myself -- I have NOTHING to do this weekend....its going to be fantastic. I will get everything done, I will be organized for the week...its going to be great. Then all of a sudden I have filled the entire weekend with breakfast / lunch / dinner with friends and trying to run 100 errands and then trying to still workout and clean my house and everything else....

This weekend was no different. The only good thing is that on Saturday, we went to dinner so late I actually had time to get somethings done! One of my errands I needed to run was to get more makeup....I was out of about everything. So I called my favorite makeup man at Saks - Mr Isaac at Dolce and Gabbana and he said to come on up. Wellll, even better than my normal time with Isaac, they had their national makeup  artist in and she was doing a seminar. So I got a bunch of free stuff, plus my makeup done...I mean, could it get any better?!? AWESOME. And he did a FABULOUS job. Ironic that the eyeshadow quad he used was also called fabulous!

We were trying to have a work dinner outing with all the "controllers" but a bunch of people backed out so it was a small group...which ended up being perfect. Above, JT and I on the dancefloor. We do like to shake it when we get together. Thank goodness the boys that were with us could hangout and have a few and let us get our groove on! ha! 

I wanted to get a better pict of my makeup -- but for once I didn't take a bizillion pictures. but I took this one when I got home. The colors were great -- it was green tones and just fabulous. And how awesome was it that was after a whole night out, dancing and it stayed on that well! I tell you - that man is awesome. 


And I really wish I had a picture of the dress...I found this great blue jean dress that fits just fantastic. Its my new favorite dress!!!!! 

Other than that, it's been crazy. I've been trying to do physical therapy for my knee / hips and between doing the "take-home" exercises and trying to work out and work and keep up with everything else its just been really busy. Needless to say I've been sleeping really well because I've just been exhausted!

I will say I absolutely love my physical therapist. He is just fantastic -- he gives fantastic guidance and really encourages and explains everything. And that I really love....I like to know what is going on with my body. He is also really good at getting me to "trust" my body...and know that my body can do a lot more than I can give it credit for. And that has been probably the best part. We did squats last week on a total gym -- which is awesome by the way -- and I had to do single legs coming down and it scared the lights out of me....but he told me I could totally do it and he was right! 

And this week is the 2nd month of closing in my new job....here's to hoping (and PRAYING!) that it all goes smoothly! I am off to bed....I have started trying to work out earlier each day in hopes of getting to work earlier...and that is REALLY HARD on Monday mornings!
