Reliving the Weekend

Christmas is here (at least in season). This past weekend I got to join in on the Hirsh family tradition of Light Up Night downtown. While construction made getting around a little fun, it was a fantastic night. The fireworks were fantastic, the music was good, and Santa was well Santa.

Saturday brought a new milestone in the road to the wedding, the cake testing. We went to Signature Desserts and loved every minute of it. So now we've got a cake to add to the list. Next up, DJ and Honeymoon.

Saturday night a bunch of us headed downtown for dinner and a show. Dinner at tambolinies was decent, and the show was fantastic. The Rockeets (Spelled?) put on a great show. The first half was better than the second, but the music and staging really got me in the christmas spirit.

Sunday was more relaxed with visiting mom and dad (happy belated birthday), lunch/dinner at Laureen's parents house and a nice nap and relaxing evening. Now if I could just shake this fluish feeling it could be a great week leading upto Thanksgiving.

Love Those Fridays...

Just when I think the week will never end, its Friday. Nothing but a relaxing...oh wait, not so much. While I enjoy going to football games and other running around on the weekends, its always nice to have a day when you can just relax in bed until noon, head downstairs and relax on the couch watching tv, and then make some dinner and head back to bed.

This weekend I'm going to shock everyone when my Christmas decorations head out and the lawn gets winterized. It should be an interesting weekend to say the least. Of course don't forget...Hail to Pitt!

Chilling on a Tuesday...

Nothing beats a relaxing night on the couch watching a little tv. Except when you have the one you love resting on your shoulder. I've been hooked on the Biggest Loser by Laureen. Its an amazing show when you see the amount of weight that some of these people have lost. Its also pretty funny when they try to slide the product placement items in the show. It just doesn't seem natural when two people are just walking down the sidewalk and suddenly one of them pulls out a pack of Extra gum and talks about the nutritional value of chewing a piece.

Anyway, I'm heading back to relaxing. Enjoy your night everyone.

Just Another Monday

Mondays just simply are the pits. You come off a great weekend and immediately you've got to jump right back into work. Someone should get around to making Mondays a national half work day. I know that it won't happen at my job (I do love my boss though, hehe). Productivity would increase so much, and I know I'd be a happier camper. Anyway, Mondays seem like they'll never end. All I know is that nothing would be finer that cooking dinner at home and then curling up on the couch and watching a little classic tv or a good movie.

I'm Back

I know its been a while, and my loyal follower has been waiting patiently. I guess that no news is good news except that I actually have some news, so I guess I'm really just a slacker. Time for the updates:

- August can't come fast enough. I'm marrying the love of my life (and I'm not just writing that because she's sitting and reading over my shoulder.). All of my theories and thoughts have been actually proven over the last 11 months we've been dating. I couldn't be happier or looking forward to the years to come more.

- The half-marathon in me is dead. What can I say, I gave it my best shot but not really. I've joined a gym and Laureen says I'm turning into an athlete. Maybe running a 5K is more realistic, so here I come Jingle Bell Run. It may take all day, but I'll crawl to the finish if I have to (probably not).

I'll try to keep updating my reader as much as possible from now on. Take care and remember to lift with your knees when shoveling the feet of snow soon to come.
