Friday - Finally

I'm feeling exhausted and I'm SO ready for the weekend!

I avoided the internet yesterday (well, American sites at least) so that I wouldn't find out who got kicked off of American Idol. It's shown on Tuesday/Wednesday in the states, then both shows are on Friday night here (tonight - whooo hooo)! And can I just say we are SO excited that Bon Jovi is the 'mentor' this week!!!!! I LOVE Bon Jovi! Murray and I saw the band perform in Minneapolis years ago, and WOW what an amazing show. They are the kind of band who don't need a fancy stage or dancers or anything - just a plain brick wall and the band and it was one of the best concerts I have EVER been to!

I'm REALLY REALLY hoping for good weather this weekend. Well, anything other than rain will do! We have a number of things we'd like to do..... but they all depend on the weather being good - so fingers crossed!

I did body pump last night and I worked SO hard! It was one of those nights where I just thought 'I think someone is trying to tell me that I should just go home and skip the gym tonight.' The locker ate my token, so I had to go back to the front desk and tell them and get a new one (it's a PAIN after you've already unloaded all your stuff then have to pack it all back up)! Then I went to get ready and realized I had forgotten to pack socks - yuck. So it was either go sockless (yuuuuuck) or wear my tall thin black socks (ummmm No that's so not going to happen). I stopped and thought - I really should just go home. But I promised myself that since I had resisted for TWO WEEKS that if I worked REALLY hard at the gym I could have 1 krispy kreme on the way home. So I went sockless, and it felt really really gross. But the workout was great. I loaded up the weights for squats, did as much weight as I comfortably could for biceps, triceps etc. And OH OH OH am I sore today - but in a good 'I worked out hard' way. I'm hoping to go tonight and once or twice this weekend too (well, maybe once this weekend - and then HOPEFULLY some tennis with Murray for exercise one of the other days - I haven't played yet this year)! And WOW that maple iced glazed donut was heaven - for real!

SO - I'll be back to posting on Tuesday - fingers crossed for a WARM rain free weekend!

And...............

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEN :) (hope you have a GREAT B-day:)
