Seven on a Sunday

Let's review what happened in my fantastically exciting life this week, shall we?

1. I was sick with a rotten head cold. I sounded like a 3 pack a day smoker for awhile and coughed all night instead of sleeping but I'm better now.

2. Kim and I sang "For Good" at our Relief Society visiting teaching conference on Tuesday.

It was on the 3rd day of the sickness so my voice wasn't in great shape but it worked out okay. We had to share a mic so I asked Kim to hold it and she decided to shove it right into my mouth (yes, my lips even touched it - sick.) I kept trying to push it back to her and we got lots of laughs for our play-fighting. Look at this picture of her below - you can just tell by her expression that she is up to NO good.

The theme was some sort of chocolate extravaganza which may or may not have affected my progress at WW (keep reading for an update on that!) Here's my cute friend Joyce. I know it's hard to see but the decorations were so great -- pinks and browns everywhere and seriously, chocolate everything. Yum.


3. I gave the leadership training at our first stake camp board meeting on Thursday. You know those talk/messages that just come together exactly as they should? This was one of those. Hopefully those listening felt as good about it as I did.

4. Saturday morning, I reached -29 lbs. Very exciting. I also checked my measurements and I've lost a total of 12 inches since the first of the year. Happiness.

5. We have had the BEST weather -- sunny and nearly 60 every day. Kim and I took a glorious walk Saturday afternoon. I still feel a tiny bit sad we didn't get any snow this year but the sun is amazing.

6. I celebrated my WW milestone by having an amazingly delicious burger at 5 Guys with Krysta and Kevin Saturday night. Afterward, we saw the movie, "Valentine's Day." I had very low expectations for the movie and ended up really liking it. My random thoughts: Jennifer Garner is just lovely, Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner were hilarious and darling, and I loved the Pretty Woman references.
I appreciate my married friends who invite me to do things and don't make me feel like a 3rd wheel or whatever. We had such a great time, despite smelling like we took a bath in burger & fry grease the entire night. Why don't places like 5 Guys have good ventilation?

7. And what's on my schedule for this week? Well, I'm doing my taxes, updating my resume, going to the dentist but best of all, seeing "Legally Blonde, the Musical" with some of my most favorite people this weekend. My darling Christina is flying up for the weekend to be my date. Can. Not. WAIT!

That is awesome that we both blogged about V-Day tonight. I also have to do my taxes this week...and go to the dentist. So weird! :) Oh and even further, I also love Mr. Big!!!!

Can't wait to hear about Legally Blonde. . .what a fun thing to have on your agenda! (More fun than taxes, I'd venture).

I also loved that movie. Cried when Julia Roberts' character finally made it home. So sweet.

But why did they make McSteamy gay? UGH.

Yay on 29! That is so great!

I liked V-day. It was pretty good. I just didn't like Bradley's story line, but Shannon reminded me that it is just a movie.

Sounds like a great week!
