So I had a nice little break this weekend!! Very relaxing with very little planned, it was so nice to not really have anything to do!!
I also forgot to set some blogs up for Friday and Monday!! Oops!! Sorry – I didn’t mean to forget already!
So – a little recap of the weekend!
Friday night, I was BAGGED!! Last week was just so insane that I told the husband that if I survived until Friday, then I deserved some take out. So take out it was!
I won’t tell you what it was…but it wasn’t great – we followed it with a movie date – “American Beauty” – mine and the Husband’s first date movie 
Other than that, no plans!!
I worked out to Carmen Electra’s Aerobic Striptease on both Saturday and Sunday mornings – what a workout!! I felt so relaxed and limber after the workout on Saturday, I briefly considered a career as an exotic dancer, or a Pussycat Doll at least (I DID take Stripper 101 – and performed my moves for both Lex and Amy ;P)
The evening was spent with our friends – starting out by a girls night, which was a blast followed by another movie: “Love and Other Drugs” (cute…dirty at times!!)
And then Sunday was SUPER relaxing, MORE movies – started the day with a workout, a delicious BLT and strawberries for breakfast, “Back to the Future” and “Beetlejuice” – then I started getting cranky.
I was whining and getting super negative – the husband was suggesting things to do, and living in such a small (industrial) city there just isn’t that much to do. I probably would have killed for a place to go play mini golf or go bowling…but alas, we don’t really have those options (we have bowling, but it isn’t open on Sunday afternoons)…so I sat around and sulked for a little bit.
I really wanted to go for a walk, but my current boots are a bit of a wreck – they don’t have any barrier whatsoever to wetness, they don’t keep my feet warm and the insoles are all ripped up – anyway, my only other option were my HUGE ski boots…like 2 sizes too big, very little support but at least warm and waterproof.
Oh Jen, get to the point.
Anyway, I decided to do something a little more positive – we decided to go for a walk in our gorgeous walking trails. So we grabbed the pup and his leash and made our way to the Birchwood Trails – it’s a series of trail veins going through a section of forest. There are a bunch of different trails and options (and LOTS of hills!)
We started out on a 2.7 KM option and went down a hill that MAY have been called the “screamer” (I was slightly confused, but it was insane, we walked UP it in the winter, and it was scarier walking down in the winter. We took a couple of different turns and took longer than originally planned.
In the end, I think we walked almost 6 KM and it took us almost 2 hours!! RIDICULOUS!!! We walk that in like 45 minutes in the summer, but trudging through the snow (the paths are groomed, just the snow was a bit soft) and there were LOTS of little hills.
Anyway, this horribly long posts point was that I took a cranky day where I was acting super negative, and we turned it around by enjoying the weather and getting outside and enjoying something positive about our city.
Oh – and then I ended the night with a yummy drink as we watched “Burlesque”! FUN!
And lastly, I can’t WAIT for these to arrive:
I know Uggs are pretty old school and kind of “out” but I think they are super cute, and I ordered the grey ones! They should be here next week, just in time for winter to almost be over (and time to pull out the rubber boots for all the snow thawing!)
MOST RANDOM POST EVER. My apologies!!!
I love your randomness!!
