It's not Monday....

Today is my Monday even though it's Tuesday!!!  It's always nice to have a 3 day weekend but when your week starts on Tuesday it always seems like it's twice as long!  I am so proud of myself... got my butt out of bed this morning and did 30 min on the eliptical!!!

On a mission today to find a recipe for Garlic soup... we went to eat at Restraunt Ava over the weekend in Rowlett and had the best soup!!!!  For those who know me... I need my soup!  So I'm always on the lookout for recipes!!!

And today's photo....

Good friends = support, laughter, and tears

Just got home from a fabulous weekend in Dallas!

Special shout outs to...

Clay and Steph who always open up their home to us... and for Clay who puts up with a bunch of noisy women with a smile on his face!! He is and always will be our "Cabana Boy"!!

Karla I could drive across country with you!!!! NO wonder we get lost... we talk too much and lose track of time! Thank you for letting me hitch a ride!

Jodie you are looking HAWT!!! I am so happy for you... I know you were worried about doing this but it has all worked out and you look amazing!!!

Mel you should be a board game... just saying!!! You light up a room when you walk in... and that's a powerful tool to have!! Thank you bringing laughter to my weekend... it was the best medicine!!!

Then there is the birthday girl Kathy that finally got her cake thanks to Clay!!! It was a cake made for a Princess! I am so glad you came and hung out with us!!! Now you know what's it's like on the other side!!! LOL

Support was abundant at the RMB (Steph, Jodie, Karla, Mel, Kathy, Dee, and Debbie) luncheon! Although not everyone was able to join us Dee and Debbie came by for a few hours!!! Dee it was so good to see you... it has been too long! Please don't be a stranger! Debbie you are such an inspiration to see how far you have come and the obstacles that you have had along the way!

I think one of the most special parts of the weekend was when a friend showed up needing someone to listen as she poured her heart out to us. I will pray daily for her as she has a tough road ahead of her. I'm glad she thought of us when she needed someone to talk to.

And to wrap this up here are just a few more photos to share...

A busy week and a few photos...

I tend to lose track of time during the week!!  Seems like this year all I do is work, sleep and repeat!!  I need to break that cycle... just not sure how to do it yet!  Looking forward to the 3 day weekend that is fast approaching!  I need time to recharge with some of the best girlfriends anyone can ask for!  I'm also trying to keep up my photo a day challenge...  here are a few from the past few days.

Monday musings....

If you haven't been to Pinterest then you are really missing something!!  It is my latest addiction and I have among other things found so many yummy recipes.  Not all healthy but these were really easy to fix and when the family likes them it's even better!!!!

Still not sure about the half marathon next weekend... the broken toe is still pretty sore.  Guess I'm going to get on either the treadmill or eliptical later to see how it goes.  I certainly don't want to overdo it and make it worse.  I will be so disappointed if I don't get to run... but on the other hand I will get to spend the weekend with my best girl friends.  So I guess either way it will be okay.
