New week!

And hopefully this week I will be a better blogger!...bad, bad, bad...It's just been crazy lately. Why you ask?...WORK and FUN!. Last week was an interesting week, here is a quick recap:

Monday I left to go to on a business trip...bright and early, so bright and early that I got confused and thought my flight was at 5am rather than 7am. So at 2:30AM (after a failed attempt to sleep) I was in my car driving to the gas station when I decided to check my blackberry for the flight details....Surprise, surprise...my flight didn't leave until 7am. needless to say, I drove right back home but at that point I was completely unable to fall sleep....so I basically pulled an all nighter :/

Yep, I'm an idiot (I hate calling myself that, but seriously!!?) and if you need yet another reason to believe it...I had bought a book to read after Marley and Me...turns out I had already read it (not even that long ago!!)...*sigh*

Tuesday was a long day at the office and Wednesday I was on my way back home!. Why you ask? (ok, you didn't ask but I'm still going to tell you...) it was the husband's birthday!!!. By the time I made it home it was already 6pm...that didn't stop me from giving him a Tapas Dinner (one of his favorites!). Dinner consisted of: Spanish cheeses, Jamon Serrano, Olives, Spanish Tuna Empanada (Empanada gallega), Garlic Shrimp (Camarones al Ajillo) and of course nice toasty bread!. For dessert we indulged in a delicious Birthday Carrot Cake...not like any cake though...this was a RAW carrot cake!. His mom made it and it was different, light, healthy and delicious!!!. We finished off the night welcoming our friends that came to stay with us through the week :)

We had a great time with them and got to celebrate Alejandro's birthday the whole weekend :)

Running Update:
Because of the terrible flight schedules, I couldn't run much. I still managed to run 2 days, which is not bad considering Monday-Wednesday was not an option. Last night was the best run I've had in a long time. The weather was AMAZING and if it wasn't because my foot started bothering me, I would have gone a little longer! (did 3.5 miles).

Today I got my Alcohol Shot (second round)...right now my foot is swollen and I need to stay off of it for two days. I am so looking forward to getting Round 3 in two weeks because supposedly that is when you start seeing improvements!. Until then, I will stick with doing 3-4 miles at least three times a week.

So there you have it folks!...(yeah, by folks I mean Dad who has been calling me asking me why my blog has been neglected! ;))

This weekend I'm off to Orlando for a short girl's trip. I am so excited!!! Road trip!!!!!!!




Next up: Marley and Me book review! :)

Al fin escribiste y se lo acabo de leer a tu herma e Isa, que prestaron mucha atencion, Bbella dice que ella lee tu blog pero que no te escribe? deseo que tus shots alcoholicos empiezen a funcionar pero no esta mal meterte la distancia que hiciste uno de los dias de esta semana, la cena del cumple parece riquisima, con razon le gusta a Alejandro mucho, a cualquiera verdad.... me imagino que venoia aderezado con vinachos de buena estirpe. Por aqui tambien se estan leyendo el libro del perrito pero con tragedias por el final!!! alguien ya lo termino y comento algo!! asi son las cosas. bueno pues un gran saludo y que disfrutes el fin de semana femino en Orlando, si puedes ve aver el Cirque du Soleil es extraordinario y esta en Disney Village. erpapin
