Good Morning!

Hello Knotties!

Last night, I went and got my nails done. :) I am officially addicted to the OPI gel. I love it! After that, I came home and made the mistake of turning on Sister Wives, I got sucked in and watched for a while, then made dinner.

I need opinions, on Friday night, my friends are arriving at 8:30/9:00 ish, my plan was to make dinner (carnitas), but when I talked to my sister last night she was like, "oh! dinner at 9 pm! I figured we'd eat on the road" I'd still like to cook, but now I'm second guessing it. I eat dinner at 8 every day so nine isn't that much later. What do you guys think? Should I tell them to eat on the road, order take-out that is ready when they arrive, or have carnitas ready?

Thanks for the input!

The only item I will not compromise on...my bouquet of all purple tulips wrapped in a swatch from my Mom's wedding dress.

    Made it to the gym last night and felt so much better. The sun was shining when I left and FI and I took the puppy for a walk when I got home. I was in a MUCH better mood! I'm having a thirty-one party at our new house in May so that all of the ppl I work with and friends I don't see as often have a chance to come see our new house. (We built it last summer and moved in October) I'm pretty excited about it! And along the wedding line - I rrrreeeaaaallllyyyy need to call our venue coordinator and set up an appt... not sure why I'm procrastinating so much....

    Have a great day!

    JL- If they aren't too hard to make and you can reheat them if they don't all get eaten I would make the Carnitas. No matter if you stop or not, it's nice to have a snack or small meal when you finish a road trip. Also if you guys are going out they would probably make a good late night snack!

    JL - I would make them anyway and offer that they eat light on the road and come to your place for a "real" meal. 

    I have been loving the fact that I joined the gym again.  My legs and bottom are so sore from doing weighted lunges.  But this is the good sore.  Now if I could only getting the eating part more under control - but ice cream is sooo good.  Tongue out

    Good morning ladies!  I got nothing new to report...but I guess sometimes nothing is good.
    Still on the healthy wagon and looking forward to meeting up with Sarah after work to go for a run. 
    And I am looking forward to Saturday.  My DF and I have a yearly deal.  He goes and plays at CMU carnival for a few days with his old frat buddies and I spend 6 glorious hours at Esppa!!  I love spa days!!

    JL- I may be biased because "te quiero carnitas" but I like to have a snack/lite bite after a road trip.  Whenever DF and I head down to VA to see his family, his sister always hooks us up.  And it is always better than road food.

    Linds- Party sounds fun.  Get to show off the house and Reese : )

    Lily - I am with you on the getting the eating under control.  I love food to. I have done really well this week.  My lunch has been quinoa with grilled veggies.  Totally addicting.  We grilled enough veggies on Sunday to last all week.


    Pittsburgh September Siggy - Our honeymoon will be at the Royal Suites Turquesas in P*nta Cana. Super excited!

    Morning everyone!

    So today has been off to a not so great start.... I sent out a spreadsheet I shouldn't to people I shouldn't have at work. An honest mistake, but it was private info. No one is upset with me at all, I'm just mad at myself :-(

    Hopefully today will be better cause I'm meeting up with Janice after work to go running! Yeay!!!! I am no longer sore from Monday's jog so hopefully I can attempt to keep up with Janice.

    Jl- Ok so I really need to try this gel. Does it just last a lot longer? And I would just go ahead and make them. Worst case you just reheat them later. But that gives them some food when they get there. I love having snacks when I get back from a road trip, no matter how much I ate on the way.

    Lindsay- I saw on facebook that you set up a party for your friends and family to see your house. How fun! It will feel nice to show off your and your FI's hard work on it :-)

    Lilywater- I hate being sore, but at the same time I love it. It makes me feel like I accomplished something! And I have to work out more as I have come to accept the fact that I will never be able to stop eating as much lol

    Janice- I am so excited for tonight!!!! Are you ready? Hopefully we have some good weather this evening! Just as an fyi, my hair is straight today, so if you don't recognize me at first don't worry! Lol, seriously people I work with sometimes don't recognize me when I change my hair from curly to straight or vice versa. But I will see you at 5 today! I'll PM my phone number to you in case you need to get hold of me.

    GM Ladies! Busy day at work for me... tomorrow is my friday off (I work a 9/80 work schedule) and I want to get ahead of the game so that theres no question in me taking off! Last night I worked on our invites a little more while watching the Pens game w. DF. Today is my stretch day for P90X (recovery week) which I'm going to do tonight so it was nice to sleep in for an hour this morning! The pup enjoyed the extra hour of snuggling too.

    jl - maybe do heavy appetizers instead of a big meal - which I think your carnitas could be! I would def tell the girls ahead of time not to eat too much because you'll have food (and wine?) when they get to your apt!

    lindsay - is 31 a card game? or am i way off?

    lily - way to go with going to the gym!

    janice - i too would be looking forward to sat if i were you!

    sarilynn - i hate when i make a mistake at work. even if no one really cares.. it always bothers me for way too long. Hope you can let it go! And goodluck with the run tonight! weather should be gorgeous!

    md - happy 1 year! i promise this next year will fly!

    JL - As one of the girls arriving for the festivities, I would love me some carnitas!!   I understand the whole idea of eating on the road but for me and Liu it's just usually snacks and not a meal.  I say just proceed with dinner since I know I'm used to not eating until 8 each night as well and if your sister wants to eat then she's more than welcome to. 

    Can't wait to see you tomorrow!!
