it's friday!! :)

today is a fabulous day.

not only is it friday,

but last night, gabby douglass won the gold for the women's all round
[woohoo!],

soni broke her own world record
[holla!!],

and i get to see my family today
[yay!]!! 

bub-hub and i are making the roadtrip up I-45 to the beautiful big-D,

and i am pumped!

we're pretty lucky to be from the same home town.

it makes trips back home twice as nice.

with so much to look forward to this weekend,
i had to find little things to distract me while i waited for the long days to pass.
luckily,
a few fantastic things happened this week.

1. super encouraging mid-day dove dark chocolate messages.
i usually rip into the chocolate too fast to make out the message,
but i've tried to practice self control and slow it down a bit.
trying to slow down seems to be a running theme in my life...hmm...coincidence??

2. fabulous, booty-busting workouts at pure barre.

i've just finished up my first month and i'm officially hooked.

3. my nectarine suffered a major injury in my lunch box.

poor thing didn't stand a chance being stuffed in a bag with an extra pair of shoes, notebooks and laptop.

what a tough [and super juicy!] little guy. 

4. i've been downing chobani like a champ.

i'm designating myself a chobani gold medalist.

watch out phelps, i'm coming for you.

5. this week, my music selections have been all over the place.

have you ever just put your ipod on shuffle and let it go?

i was way embarassed by what i had on there.
as a side note, 

on wednesday, i hear the usher song "scream" 6 times between driving to pure barre, during pure barre, and driving home from pure barre. 6 times people.

i love the song, 

but really. 

give pit bull a chance.
