Hello! The rest of the weekend looked something like THIS.

Aaron came over and made pancakes.

Serious business:

Not so serious:

Pancakes:

MANcakes:

Sick and wanted veggies for lunch:

Saturday evening, I went over to Aaron’s house and watched him assemble a futon while drinking green tea with a fan blowing on me so I didn’t start sweating. THE FEVER! I had to look presentable for dinner with the FUTURE IN-LAWS. WHAT? Diane & Jeff!

There are two articles of plaid and two instruments visible here:

For dinner, we drove A LOT into the Northern parts of PA and eventually made our way to the back woods of Mars, PA and then toward Grove City which is A DIFFERENT WORLD than Pittsburgh. We had dinner at the Iron Bridge Inn which was packed on a Saturday night but also quite enjoyable. The company may have been what made it most enjoyable. Also, Future Mother-in-Law got me/us a book about Real Food. She knows me already! Maybe she stumbled upon ye blog.

Anyway, I had a salad consisting of field greens, apples, cranberries, candied pecans and shrimp with raspberry vinaigrette. It was pretty delicious. Aaron wasn’t too fond of his entree but I bet he enjoyed the French onion soup. We’ll just assume because he didn’t actually say so. So that concludes Saturday night.

Onto Sunday. Church then my very last group then grocery shopping then pushing the limits and going for a run. My fever was gone! My body temperature was back down to 97ish and I was feeling pretty good .

I wore a hat & took a picture. Serious face:

4 miles! The weather was great. I ran 2 miles then stopped in Giant Eagle and had some water at the water fountain then ran another mile then walked a minute then ran the last mile. My legs felt kind of weird after not running for an entire week! Overall my body felt okay. I’ve definitely lost some endurance over the last two weeks or so but I’m not trying to keep up the ability to run 10 miles during the Winter. Not so possible in Pittsburgh unless I was more hardcore and also purchased things like Under Armour and managed to get over my whole, “if it’s below 50 degrees, I’m not running outside” thing.

So running isn’t going to be my main form of exercise going forward. I’ll talk more about my new plan soon.

Sooo the Garmin hasn’t made an appearance recently.

Sweaty and…scared or something.

MONDAY! Back to work after three days off + the weekend! I managed to get through most of my e-mails and urgent matters and then Aaron picked me up from work. We went straight to Leechburg (trip #3) to SIGN THE PAPERS! We went over the contract, discussed some wedding details and signed. We’re officially booked for June 26, 2010! Yayayayayay.

Also, I have a new ring. Pretty, huh???

I won’t go into details about why I’ve had two rings so far because it’s a LONG and personal story. All seems to be well now though.

TUESDAY…today.

Breakfast= pumpkin oats with peanut butter

Lunch=tuna on an Arnold’s Thin and a spinach salad then for dessert… pumpkin cake courtesy of Andy. Thanks Andy! It was delicious.

Stuck to the foil! The frosting was great though.

Afternoon snack was yogurt with an oats n’ honey bar and then….SPIN CLASS. It’s probably been a year since I’ve taken spinning. I’m going to be SORE tomorrow. It was great though. It was an hour long and I was DRIPPING sweat by the end. Awesome!

I got home, ate dinner, showered, then Aaron stopped over to say goodnight. He just left now so I’m getting to bed! 10:53 PM.

GOODNIGHT FRIENDS!
