TGIF

I can't believe I made it through this week. I'm not gonna lie, it's not easy coming back to the real world after blissfully wasting away the day on the beautiful beaches of Hawaii (ok, I'll stop talking about my vacation soon, but I'm still trying to savor the experience.)

It's been one of those whirlwind kind of weeks. Here's what went down.

• I had to do 37 loads of laundry.
• I got to wear pretty dresses/skirts everyday.
• We dominated in kickball, 23-4. AND, I was Player of the Game! (Well, with JJ) The proof is here. We're currently in 2nd, but I have faith that we'll take the championship!
• Another game, another fun evening with the team at Leny's.
• Got to see the Straubster who I don't get to see often enough.
• Fantastic happy hour on the deck at Maximilien in the Pike Place Market to finally celebrate Kathryn's and my promotion!
• Busy, busy at work.
• Lost 5 pounds from just peeling alone. Will it ever stop?
• Found out that Josh is coming to visit me! (Or just Seattle in general, but I can't help but think it's mostly for me, right?)
• Planned a much-needed night of karaoke for Saturday with my partner in crime, Tronics. It's been far too long since our moment of stardom. We're trying something new: The Waterwheel Lounge in Ballard, per Kimber's suggestion.
• Stephanie actually won the Dave Matthews tickets from commenting on my SeattlePI blog! (And she won Seahawks tickets. I should stick around her so some luck wears off on me...) And guess who she is taking? Yours truly. Thanks, Stephers!
• I fulfilled my craving for sushi for lunch yesterday.
• Scheduled brunch with Kathryn, Katie and Maggie this weekend!
• Uploading and re-tagging and re-captioning my photos like a dozen times. It must have been the red wine I was consuming; messing with my technology abilities...
• I started back on my training, even if I only did short runs. (The race is in a month! Damn.)
• Worked with Kotis Design to create our 5th Annual Leavenworth Oktoberfest t-shirts! Ladies, I'm tellin' ya, the initial proofs are awesome. Just wait for the finished product!
• Tomorrow UW plays the other purple and gold team: LSU. Go Dawgs!

Now this is how excited I am for a 3-day weekend!

And this is what I'm most excited for this weekend.
But singing into an actual microphone, not curling iron.
Or vodka bottle for that matter.
Well, maybe vodka bottle :)
