Stomach Flu 2007

It seems like the stomach flu has taken over quite a few people. I had the pleasure of having it this weekend and let me tell you I would much rather have a head cold than have this. I got sick on Thursday and it pretty much knocked me out for 3 days. I will spare you all the details. Yesterday was the first day I felt better although still a bit queasy (not sure on the spelling there) and still only had jello, crackers and popsicles to eat. I lost 7lbs...woohoo...but I'm sure as soon as I stick a piece of gum in my mouth I'll gain all 7lbs back :o( that's no fun. I am on the mend and will hopefully be back to my normal self this week. Although it's time for Weight Watchers so at least that will help me with not stuffing my self as soon as I get my appetite back. Hopefully not all the weight I lost in the last couple of days will come back and I'll have a head start :o) I'll keep my fingers crossed. I'm going on vacation this year...YIPEE... and it requires a bathing suit so that will be my incentive. 2 months and 4 weeks to get in shape :o)

I missed Kick Off on Saturday, which I am bummed about, but we have the first run of the season this Saturday and I'm looking forward to it. I hear we have a big team and I hear our team name for now is Team Flame (somthing having to do with Coach Al carrying the Olympic torch). Should be a fun season and I'm looking foward to it getting underway.

TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW what a week. Work has been insanely busy and just stressful. Our computers were down for a few days so I got NOTHING done, then we had to deal with some major crisis on the contract I work with. I love my job 90% of the time. This week though was that 10% I hate it and let me tell you I am drained. I am so glad it's Friday and I'll be outta here for a few days.

This weekend will be a little busy. Tonight Rocky and I are having dinner with some friends of his in Daly City. We get to meet their new baby and I think we may even bring Patch so he can play with their chihuahuas. Should be an interesting evening. Tomorrow morning we've got Team in Training stuff. Mama Lisa is having her mentor/captain training so I'll be there in the morning. I'm going to be PR Captain for the Spring Season :o) we officially start next Saturday. I can't wait. Tomorrow evening we are going out with some friends and Sunday will be a much needed rest day I think I'll stay in bed with Patch and catch up on my TV shows. Well at least til 1pm when Rocky is done teaching Kali and we go out for our usual Sunday breakfast burrito :o) YUMMY!

Knitting Update
Had Stitch-n-Bitch at Amy's house the other night and that was fun. As usual we had lots of yummy food. I did too much talking though and no knitting :o( I've been lazy about my knitting. I keep finding all these projects I want to start so I better get working on the current ones and finish them up. Got lots of pretty new yarn sitting around waiting to be used.

Diet Update
9 day til I am officially back on my diet :o( waaahhhh! I am going to start again once the season starts.

Well, hope everyone has a great weekend!

Checking In

Not much to report but I like to check in once in a while especially since my dad reads this and it's his way of knowing I'm still alive and not in a ditch somwhere :o) haa, haa.

Tomorrow is Rocky's bday, woohoo, so we are celebrating by going to Sonoma for the weekend. We'll head up there on Saturday and come back on Sunday. His parents, both his brothers, sister in-laws and a few of our other friends will meet us in Sonoma for brunch on Sunday. We'll also be going to Cline Vineyards to pick our wines from their wine club we joined back in November. So I am sure that there will be some wine tasting involved throughout the day. Now if we could just stop drinking the wine I buy so quickly maybe I could actually get a wine collection going :o) hee, hee. I've gotta use the new wine rack my dad bought me for Christmas :O)

Our 2 year anniversary is also coming up on Monday, Jan. 15th.....HOLY SMOKES!! 2 years already, I can't believe it. Time goes by too fast but we've had a great 2 years and have managed to pack those 2 years with lots and lots of fun activities, trips and races.

I'm looking forward to celebrating our annivesary and Rocky's b-day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROCKY AND HAPPY 2 YEAR ANNIVESARY!!!!

XOXOXOXO

We shall miss Ms. Olivia though because she decided that doing 3 half marathons in a matter of like 6 weeks was not enough so this Saturday she leaves for Arizona and will be running the Rock & Roll Half Marathon. I think this is the first time I miss one of her races :o( boo, hoo. We'll be thinking of her though. Hopefully the weather in Arizona will behave this year, it was a bit warm for running last year.

GOOD LUCK OLIVIA!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hope everyone had a wonderful New Year's. The party we went to was awesome and we all had a great time. Now it's back to work :o( boo, hoo. It'll be nice though to relax from the chaos of the holidays. I guess that also means the eating stops and the dieting/working out begins....darn.

Rocky and I all dressed up for New Year's :o)
