A few things…

January 18, 2012 in a few things, my life, photo | 4 comments

°  The first few days of work after a vacation are the hardest.

°  Grandma’s food is the best, but I managed to only put on 5 lbs in a week.

°  I started doing my 30-day shred workout again.  (Only it’s more like  60 days since I don’t get up early enough on my work days.)

°  I got to see my bestie who moved away.  Love her and the four hours we spent catching up over spicy* Vietnamese soup and shopping.

 

* So spicy that I’m still feeling it the next day, but no regrets!
