Oh Hey Friday's Five with a WiW Mix

This week has been rough.  Besides being that last full week before Christmas this is the week that I got sick.  Ugh… really of all weeks. so needless to say I have been trying to chug along and do my best. Which meant a lot of whining and complaining and trying to get shit done, but of course that left no room for blogging so today is a mix of my Fridays Five and WiW all rolled in one.

Most of the week after working (yes I made it to work but just barely) and then hitting the stores for those last minute gifts I would get home and snuggle on the couch with the little.

what is Christmas with out Elf…syrup anyone??

{two}

I was down one pound which is great seeing as I never did anything more strenuous that push a shopping cart around in the last week. I think it's probably because I did more sleeping than eating.

and as most of you mom's know that even when we are sick we still need to get our shit done and yes that damn elf….

I may have taken my Christmas pictures in July but that didn't stop me from waiting until the very last minute to send those babies out.

and of course the daily struggle of a teacher durning the holidays...

Have a great weekend all.  Linking up with

Stormaggedon

Hey all, sorry about missing Friday. It was our annual Christmas program at work so it was a whirl wind of a day and not to mention it was apparently "stormaggedon" too.  We here in So Cal are such babies that the littlest bit of rain puts everyone in a  panic. 

 

Even with the rain it turned out to be a great weekend. The hubs and I took DQ to a Winter Wonderland holiday thing at a local park along with some friends.  It was lots of fun they had all different types of activities.

 

 

This is how we do sledding and snow in Southern California lol,

 



can you tell we were totally unprepared.  Poor DQ id in Vans and we totally forgot the gloves.  

 

But she did get to see Santa so that made the freezing hands and wet feet worth it.

 

After that I went out with my girls.  Our work party did not happen this year, kinda sad but no one wanted to host it so it just sorta fizzled out.  we made the best of it and got the crew together for dinner and dancing in downtown Temecula.

 

We are such dorks but we do have fun!

 

Finally after getting home at 1 in the morning my ass had to be up at 6 to get ready for my last holiday shoot of the year. 



It was actually two families that were related I was worried it was going to take forever but it went really smoothly and we were done in just over an hour.  Now I'm just putting some finishing touches on them and will have them out later this week.

WiW....The Big Easy or So I Hope

I'm up a bit this week just a bit over a pound 180.6.  Seriously it was those cookies.  I can just say no to Thanksgiving (seeing as I stayed the same that week  but put a cookie in front of me and all bets are off.

But I'm getting right back to business because I am giving myself 7 weeks to lose 10 pounds (I'm shooting for 15 but I will be totally happy with 10)  because in 7 weeks this is happening!!!

Yup the hubby did it, he is taking TaTa and I (and TaTa's boyfriend) to New Orleans for our 21st and 40th birthdays (our bdays are exactly one month apart.)  I can't even tell you how excited we are.

So to keep on track and lose that weight I stocked up at the farmers market this weekend.

The beets are so good.  I can't believe that it has taken me all this time to actually like beets.

I also found some yummy brussel sprouts (yup just started liking those too)

and of course keeping up with the workouts.
