Relaxation at its Finest

Finally. Finallyfinallyfinally. That's all i can say about that. While I'm bummed that I'm not enjoying some nice quality girl time for Lindsey's bachelorette party & bridal shower in NY this weekend with the 3 musketeers, I know I made the right decision. I've been wound up like a top for the past 2 weeks between being out of town (for fun and for work), with Momma being so sick, and with Mimi's new breast cancer diagnosis, that I really just needed to spend some time maxin & relaxin as the Fresh Prince would say ;)
And boy am I feelin it. We went for a 5k run this morning and ever since I have been so lazy and just kind of falling asleep on the couch on and off. I just have no energy, now that I have time to chill and don't need to have any energy!

I am, however, getting ready to sign us up for a 10k (6.2 miles) as our June race - we're trying to do at least one per month so we still have lots of time to do nothing go camping (like next weekend! YAY!) and relax at home and have company :) But right now the website isn't working and it's making me absolutely CrAzY.

Speaking of running, Chris made an amazing deal with me: when I get to 100 miles (I've been tracking since April 25 and I'm up to 67.5 miles) I get this beauty...

Garmin Forerunner 205
A few highlights of its features:

• Virtual Partner™ features lets you program time, distance and pace goals, then shows you if you're ahead or behind your goal
• Calculates calorie consumption based on user's weight, distance traveled and hills climbed
• Records lap history by day and week, stores up to 200 workouts in its memory
• Pace alarm sounds if you're either exceeding or slower than your programmed pace
• Navigation capabilities let you mark locations, find locations or navigate back to the starting point; mark and save waypoints (not that I'll need said feature because of my remarkable sense of direction and navigation skills...HA!)
  

Last night we gave ClareBear another pet-i-cure.... pink this time! She's loving it, even though she won't admit it...

Yes, the blue one from the last pet-i-cure is still clinging on for dear life!

Well, I suppose that's about all for now. I know I didn't have much to say, but I'm just sitting here bored out of my mind relaxing (maxin & relaxing, remember?) with "Can't Hardly Wait" on in the background. (Yup, the 1998 film that revolves around an eclectic group of students from Pennsylvania attending a high school graduation party at a large house owned by a rich class member's family. Each character has different plans for the night. Optimistic misfit Preston Myers (Ethan Embry) plans to proclaim his love to his four-year secret crush, to whom he's never had the nerve to speak before, prom queen Amanda Beckett (Jenifer Love Hewitt), who in turn has recently been dumped by her top jock boyfriend, Mike Dexter (Peter Facinelli - yes! now from the Twilight series...who knew!) who is targeted by classmate William Lichter (Charlie Korsmo), who is plotting revenge against Mike for happily making his high school years a living nightmare.)

Have a great LONG Memorial Day Weekend! It is well-deserved.
