Relaxing on this Miscellany Monday

Good morning, sweet readers. How are y’all doing today? I’m feeling great! Keith and I just finished the last of our assignments and are officially on Fall Break for one week. YAY! Anyway, Happy Monday y’all! I’m full of miscellaneous, so that’s what I’ll be writing about today. 

* I know it’s only Monday, but I am beyond pumped for Friday because….Keith and I are finally going on a date! 🙂 It’s been months since our last one and this quality time is much over due. Plus, I’m totally pumped to get dolled up and explore Charleston with my man. 😀

 Our first Charleston date, January 2009

* So, my Yanks are in the playoffs, but it is so hard to be happy when Jeter is out with a broken bone in his ankle. He is without a doubt my favorite ballplayer and it just doesn’t feel right seeing someone else play shortstop. The Wall Street Journal posted an article yesterday called Without Jeter, These Playoffs Feel Like a Funeral and boy are they right. I’m praying this injury doesn’t end his career. I’m praying that he is back next year and playing like himself again.

It may sound silly, but if this is it for him…if he doesn’t come back, I will truly be heartbroken. Besides the fact that he’s The Captain and is just a damn good player, I am hoping he’s okay, selfishly, so that I can see him play in person. I’ve yet to do that, but it hasn’t been without trying. (Remember my honeymoon?) My logic is this — it’s like living in the era of DiMaggio and never making time to get to NYC and watch the greatness in action. Especially now that Gav is here, I just really want to share the experience with him. *sigh* Sorry to ramble, but this is important to me.

* I don’t know what the weather has been like everywhere else, but here in South Carolina it has been bliss. Anywhere from the 60’s to 70’s and sunny. We’ve also had hotter days and rainy days, but man have those sunny fall days been wonderful. Gav and I have been going on walks and I am really just thankful for these days.

* After one month of avoiding fast food, I decided to splurge yesterday on a Whopper combo from Burger King to celebrate Fall Break. Let’s just say I deeply regret this decision. I was so nauseated and felt terrible. Almost like I had food poisoning. Blah. I guess we really are what we eat! I don’t want to say too much yet (don’t wanna jinx myself) but over the past 5 weeks I’ve lost a considerable amount of weight (we’re talking double digits!) and I am 1 pound from reaching my pre-baby weight. Thank God! (I’m going to write about my results once I reach my goal.) Eating that awful BK meal yesterday was definitely poor judgment, but I’d like to note this experience for the next time I am tempted to eat fried, processed, food…DON’T DO IT LADY!!! (Also, is anyone on My Fitness Pal? If you are, send me your username! I’d love to have more accountability and offer up some encouragement.)

Well, that’s all the rambling I have for now. I’ll be spending today with Gav and relaxing without feeling guilty. I’ve been wanting to have an Audrey Hepburn marathon, and I think that’s exactly what I’ll do. On the lineup? Roman Holiday, Sabrina, and Breakfast at Tiffany’s. 🙂

Happy Monday, readers!

    Hey, lady!! Glad you are getting out for a date night this week. Enjoy your fall break! They took ours away this year and I am bummed out; both of my sisters are on theirs. booooo, law school.

    I totally understand baseball playoff sadness. (just check out my blog today). At least your team is still in the running! It's awful to see good/favorite players get injured. One of our starting pitchers only threw about 5 pitches into the first playoff game until he got injured. uggghhh. Hopefully Jeter makes a full and fast recovery!

    And, finally, good for you for eating so well! I keep telling myself I'm going to do Weight Watchers but always get lazy. It's time to actually stick to the plan though — want to be slimmer for graduation! Teach me your secrets!

    yay for date nights! so happy for you guys!

    I'm also closely watching the playoffs…our team (STL Cards) are still in it as well!

    & I've noticed that with fast food as well. Sometimes I just think a McDonald's burger sounds so good and yet when I eat then I feel gross! Definitely not a good sign!
