Weekend

We had a very nice weekend.  My in-laws were here visiting us.  They live in the Seattle area and came out for our nephew’s birthday last weekend.  My husband’s brother lives in the D.C. area…I hope that is vague enough for you.  My MIL and FIL spent a week visiting my BIL and family and then on Wednesday of last week they came down on the train to spend time with us.

I wasn’t able to take any time off of work, but my husband took off Friday afternoon.  On Saturday my MIL and I went shopping.  I bought a new pair of shoes, two pairs of work out pants, one work out top, and my MIL bought two tops and a pair of work out pants.  Although she did take them back to Target yesterday.

I love to have company (guests).  But I always eat too much when we have people visiting.  I think I am in celebration mode, so I convince myself it’s okay to splurge.  Yikes, yesterday I had Little Caesars pizza, almond bark, and chips.  Oh, and I had a blueberry scone at Starbucks.  I even had french fries for lunch.  I desperately need to get back on track.  Actually back on my treadmill will suffice.

I work at a university and recently found out one of my benefits is five one-hour sessions each semester with a personal trainer at the athletic center.  I definitely should take advantage of that.  I have already had three sessions with a trainer as a benefit of being a new employee.

I have finally ordered new glasses.  I had my eyes examined last September and haven’t found a pair of glasses I liked well-enough to buy.  Well, Saturday I went to Sam’s with my MIL and we picked out a very nice pair.  I am very excited…I do have to wait 10 days for them to arrive though.

I found out last weekend that my SIL might be taking a trip to Egypt for two weeks.  How exciting…the pyramids and the sphynx.  Two must sees in my book.  If she does end up going, she will miss her two boys and husband very much, but I told them to come and visit us the weekend in-between the two weeks.  We would love to see them.  I hope they take us up on the offer.

I almost forgot, my youngest sister is down in Aruba for three weeks.  She called me on her birthday and I wished her a Happy Happy Birthday.  It sounds like she is having a great time.  Sunny and in the 80′s.  She vacations there every year.  A timeshare I believe.  She turns 50 in 2011 and has invited family and friends down there for her birthday.  I will definitely be there.  I miss her very much.  She lives in Wisconsin so we only see each other once or twice a year.  Although we do talk on the phone and email quite a bit.

Well I need to get back to work.  Have a great week everyone.  All three of you.
