According to the elliptical machine that is what I just burned. So, that is positive. I will cross my fingers that it took off one of the Mojitos from last night.

Yesterday was a fabulous day. I got up early and had breakfast with Chad so we could discuss work stuff, was productive in the office, had tasty lettuce chicken wraps at MCafe for lunch with some ladies + man from work, and visited with colleagues at the farewell drop-in for Tara. I also had a chance to catch up with Greg, new boss, and feel really good about where things are going.

After work I met Mr. Manning for a few drinks at Rust before heading to Wendy's most wonderful 30th birthday party/Night of Amazing Women outing. I can honestly say that I never would have expected to have such a wonderful time with 8 other women. We ate at Melting Pot and it ws fantastic! The reservations were at 7:10pm and we did not walk out the front door of the place until 11:00. My Mojitos were amazing too. :-)

The plan was that I was fixing pot roast for dinner tonight and Manning was going to come over, but Sid & Heather gave an invite to go to Bonefish Grill for dinner. Hmmmm...Leslie's pot roast or Bonefish Grill...pot roast can wait. Anyone up for a tasty meal tomorrow evening?

10 Weeks / 19 weeks
Until the Carolina Cup / My Quarter-Century Birthday Celebration. I did really well from October - November about eating well and dropped 20 lbs. I have pretty much kept it off too. Monday I am serious about getting back into it. I remember before my 21st birthday I bought this really cute black dress that I intended to party my ass off in. Well, 1 - I did not get in shape to wear the dress and 2 - I ended up with some crazy illness for my 21st so I didn't party my ass off at all.

This year is going to be a different story. The Cup is half way to the big bash and I intend to be on-point for that occasion. (Speaking of, when talking about it to Justin the other day he asked "What happened to you? Have you started haning out with Preppy-Redneck-Fags?" it was pretty amusing.) And 19 weeks sounds like a long time away so the 10 week mark will give me a closer more tangible goal to work towards. So, cute dresses here I come. :-)

Well, I have some cleaning to do around here, and before I know it I will need to be heading out for dinner. One downside to living out in BFE is that you generally have to go meet people - they never want to come pick you up. Bummer.
