Where'd the Weekend Go

Why do the weekends go by so fast!!!!

I could really go for a 3 day weekend and a 4 day work week......every week and not just holiday weeks.

My weekend started out Friday night when Rodan + Fields corporate came to town.  We had a business presentation Friday followed by Groundswell Training Saturday morning.  It was a great time and I got to meet several of the top consultants in the area.....one day I'll hopefully be up there with them.

Saturday afternoon was a mish mash of a lot of things.  

First off, Miss Poppy had a BADLY needed day at the groomer.  She went from this......

to this.......

She looks like a completely different dog, but it's the same fun loving Poppy.  Now we can see her eyes!!

Saturday was also a time for running errands and I finally joined Costco.  Boy, that is going to be dangerous!!!  Yeah, the cheap gas is nice, but I'm scared of what all I may come out with when I go there to shop!!

After a VERY HUMID 3 mile run at 7:30 Saturday night (Hello summer in Memphis!) I decided to try out some new nail polish colors.

First off, I tried Orly in Frisky.  Previous to this, I had only used the Orly base coat.  The polish is ok to me. I feel like I have better coverage from some of the others that I use.  As for the color, it's a bright turquoise and is so not me, but I like it.  Not one that I will do very often, but sometimes the summer just calls for something different on your toes.

For my hands, I used Essie in Come Here!!  I love Essie polish!  This one is pretty bright - kind of a coral color.  I wasn't too sure about it at first, but it's really growing on me now.  I'm usually pretty "traditional" when it comes to polish and I decided I needed to step out of my comfort zone.  I did, and I'm loving it!!

I had plans to be on the road by 6:00 am Sunday morning to head down to Tunica, MS, to watch the Memphis in May Olympic Distance Triathlon.  Several of my friends that I run with were participating and I wanted to go support them (and I didn't feel that it would be a bad idea to go watch with me getting ready to my first triathlon in August).  Well, the morning didn't start quite as planned......I rolled over and looked at my clock and it was 5:46!!!  I somehow had turned off my alarm and had gone back to sleep.  I hurriedly got ready and got on the road.  I was still able to make the 7:00 start.....somehow!!

I met up with some other friends and once everyone was in the water we went to find another place to see them swimming before heading to watch transition.  Once they were all off on their bikes we went and found a spot at bike dismount to sit and watch.  We saw a little bit of everything.  Some dismounts left you wondering when they actually got off the bike.....you'd see them riding, then all of a sudden they were running while carrying their bike.  Some were not so graceful.  A few couldn't get out of their clips and either asked to be caught or they ended up on the ground.  

The three we were watching got kind of spread out on the bike so we stayed to watch them come in and missed all but one heading out on their run.  We didn't have long before the first one was getting ready to come in on her run so we went and found a good place near the finish to camp out until they were all finished.  

I had a great time down there watching everything (and getting sun burned......I realized I forgot my sunscreen when I was half way to Tunica).  

I headed home around lunch time and had a ton of house work to do.  I got just enough done to say I'd done something when I decided to head to Yoga.  From there I decided to go for a bike ride on the Shelby Farms Greenline.  12 miles and just over an hour later I decided I wasn't through.  I had though about running around Patriot Lake, but since it wasn't planned when I left home I didn't have my running shoes with me.  I went on and walked the 1.75 miles just to get the feel of moving my legs like that after a bike ride.  Let's just say I have a lot of work to do between now and August!!

By the time I got home I was hungry and exhausted.  At that point it was pretty much dinner, shower, sleep.  

My list of what all needs to be done at the house is still there and growing.  I can always do that stuff later!!

Monday morning came too fast!!  I'm already looking forward to this coming weekend.....and getting a 3 day weekend!!

Hope everyone has a great week and it goes by fast!!
