One down.....11 to go

Can you believe that January is almost over??? I sure as hell can't.  I am not sure where I have been or what I have done this month, but it is practically over.  I know, I have been MIA from blogging, and like I said, I have no idea what the hell I have been doing.  Wasting time I guess because I sure as hell do not feel work accomplished for the start of Q1.  One thing I know for sure....it is hella cold here in Kansas City today.  What? Is it winter???   I hate winter, and I guess I still had hopes for the mild mild winter we had last year.  I am pretty sure March boating is not in the cards for 2013.

Here is what I think I have been up to.....
--Working out.  I have actually (up until this week) been very good about going to 24hr fitness and walking/running on the treadmill in the morning while watching Nashville on my iphone  Side note, I really like that show.  I have also done some 2 a days and done Zumba or Power Flex at night with Jess.  I have even tried PiYo which is a combination on Yoga and Pilates.  I must say, even as a dancer I was not the most flexible gal...well I really am not flexible at all anymore.

--Cooking.  One thing I really loved about staying in town for the most of January was not eating out.  J and I were very good and I cooked/threw food in the crockpot.  We only had dinner out on Saturday night.  I loved opening the fridge and having it look like, someone, other than a bachelor lives at our home.

--Our new church group. J and I were asked to join a small group at our church. It is technically for couples with small children, but the age of the couples fits us great.  We meet every tuesday and everyone seems super nice and I like that we are becoming more active...slowly but surely.  I am sad we missed this week and I will miss next week due to work as well.

--Basketball.  Peyton is on a pretty competitve basketball team.  St. Charles is very different from Plano in that from what J tells me, there are no middle school basketball teams.  Basically all basketball is through the high school and you are on a feeder team, where the high school coaches coach some of the teams.  A kid from our baseball team's Dad is the Freshman coach for Ft. Zumwalt South, not Peyton's high school,, but asked Peyton to be on the team.  (not sure if that back story was needed or not)  Anyways, we are currently playing in 3 leagues with the same team, so have about 3 games a weekend.  All the leagues have different rules, so I stay somewhat confused.  I mean, I only did the half time performace growing up!  I am learning and the games are exciting to watch now that the boys are older and understand what is going on.  We even play one 4th grade league which is really exciting to watch..  That one year makes such a difference, those boys are so much bigger than ours, but our Dogs give them a run for their money.

--Hockey. It is FINALLY hockey season,  This makes for a happy husband.  We are even going to the Blues game tonight.

--Puerto Rico. I leave sunday morning for Puerto Rico.  I know, I have a rough work life.  Our national sales meeting is there.  I am super pumped to get out of the cold and have a few moments to spend on the beach.  I am flying down a day early to enjoy Monday on the beach. Other than monday, we have a pretty jam packed week of meetings and trainings.  We have expanded our facility down here so on tuesday we are taking a 2 hour bus ride to the plant to tour it.  Basically, I have spent this week thinking of what the hell I am going to wear and can I get all of the clothes in my normal large suitcase, and not resort to my extra large large suitcase. 

--BFF's wedding in Dallas.  I will fly direct from PR to Dallas on Friday for BFF's wedding!  J will meet me in Dallas with my prepacked wedding suitcase.  I have like 3 options of dresses for the wedding and 3 for rehersal dinner (hey, I could be forever remembered in pictures and want to look nice)  We have a fun filled jam packed wedding weekend. Hopefully a brunch with my sister will be in the works as well.

Wow, this was a long post for me!  If my IT department would update my computer, I'd be able to post pictures again.....so frustrating.
