happy times

so i've been really, really happy as of late. a long, four day weekend at the lake triggered it all, i do believe. the group included: mom, dad, kimberly, cady, crystal, addison, darcy, brandon, and lauren. in the words of addi "oh boy!" did we have fun! ha. sunday morning i woke up to a stiff right arm and blamed it on being a weakling. i haven't lifted weights in ages...but i think i'm a gonna start. i ended up "straining the crap out of my tricep muscle" (verbatim of what the doc told me yesterday). sooo it hasn't been very useful since sunday, and my left hand/arm is just about as useless. a coworker of mine told me that she used to train her left hand to do all the same things her right hand could do in case she ever found herself in an unfortunate situation where she could only use that left arm. what a marvelous idea, really, i might work on that in case something dumb like this happens again :) the funniest part of the arm incident was the comparison of my arm to a barbie arm. barbie arms don't really bend either, they just go up and down, and therefore, acted a lot like my stiff arm. and thus i received the nick name "barbie arm" for the duration of the weekend. lol! thank you crystal. it was true, there was no denying it! ha....

back to the happiness though...coming out of a really fun weekend (despite the barbie arm), last night i enjoyed an aggressive fc dallas soccer game vs houston dynamo. fun group of friends, fun game, and a funny little "event staff" man who kept having "talks" with fans throwing streamers on the field. he was very serious about his job. that's what made it even more comical.

tonight i'm going to my first "one to one" training session at the apple store in willowbend. it's a sweet deal. up to an hour a week of personal training, we go over anything and everything i want to learn about my macbook, and i do it all year for only $99. it's a steal and i'm excited.

found out today that my dear friend amy is having twin GIRLS! yay yay yay! Reese Abigail and Riley Grace...can't wait to meet them :)

tomorrow i'm headed back to the lake and suzy is joining me!! omg this will be fun. i'm going to lay off the tubing for a while though since that is what caused my muscle to strain the crap out of itself. the doctor started some rant about how "as we age, blah, blah, blah." made me feel old. he said i can't go out there and be a hot shot and do things that i normally don't do. i was the farthest thing away from being a hot shot. i wish i were a hot shot. this weekend my 11 year old nephew nicholas and 3 of his friends are celebrating the end of elementary school by having a party at the lake. my bro and sis in law will be there too, and i can't wait to see them all. and see the mom and pops again too!

next weekend is my friend lindsey's wedding in houston! road trip for laura and me :) then a stay at hotel zaza. and then the next weekend is the highly-blogged about suit drive.

the fun just never ends...
