It’s been a pretty darn good day :).

Started off by driving to work together with my babe and stopping for Starbucks :). Work went by fast since we had photos to take with some of our event sponsors so that was a good hour away from work. I saw Daisy A. at her workplace :).

The next two hours were slow work-wise (I got a lot accomplished yesterday is why), but the time flew by. Jorge and I hadn’t had a chance to have lunch together in a while, so we planned for today and we met at Kumori :). It was nice to sit and talk, just he and I and enjoy each other’s company.

The next few hours passed by a bit slow, but I made calls and tied up loose ends with several sponsors. Of course work would get super busy right at 5, so I stayed a bit late, till around 5:15, and Mario was out early so he picked up Emily :(. I didn’t get to see her after work, but at least I spoke to them all a good while and I go get them tomorrow and have our traditional Thursday night out ♥. I miss them so much!

I have a busy day tomorrow. Plus an event in the evening and then rushing to get my babies on time. It’s all good. I’m trying to learn to take things one day at a time, crossing things off the to-do list one by one. I’m the type that becomes overwhelmed when too much is going on and then I go into panic-mode, but I’m trying :). I’m too blessed to be stressed, really.

Speaking of, my events went WONDERFULLY! The Golf Tournament on the 1st, the Wine Classic last Friday (where I discovered Red Moscato, yum! Have I mentioned I love my job?), and the Green Living Festival last Saturday. I had some pretty, er, boring tasks to do, but spending the day with Michelle and Sally! made it go by faster. And overtime is ALWAYS welcome :).

Anyhoo, I ran a few errands after work and picked up my babe shortly after. We went straight to Red Mango (we had a $5 coupon!) and then we came home and he got started on his man-cave stuff, heh. The only other thing on the agenda is to watch some XFactor. I hope I can stay awake! I’ve been so tired lately :(. I think I need vitamins again, boo.

Ok, two entries for one day is enough. My Halloween theme is acting a little wonky, but I’ll fix it, don’t worry :). Goodnight!

Updating during lunch again. I should really make this a habit. I just had one of the best lunches ever, but that could probably be because I was positively starving since I only had hazelnut coffee for breakfast (completely unintentional; I brought my banana and oatmeal but was running around all over the place getting things ready for this Saturday’s event that I never got a chance to sit down and eat 🙁 ).

But yes. Leftover homemade chipotle tortilla soup and white corn tortillas slathered with Laughing Cow cheese (2 wedges) and raspberry chipotle salsa. I can feel the heartburn creeping up my esophagus. Totally worth it :D.

We gotta get back on the ball tonight and work out. I had a massive headache all day yesterday. Apparently my body is aging and staying up till 4am on Saturday is a big no-no. I didn’t really sleep in much the next day either so I’m attributing the headache to lack of sleep.

I had to pick up a prescription for myself after work yesterday, handle another matter and then pick up Mom’s prescription. I was all over the place and it didn’t help my headache one bit. Emily was dropped off after work and she snacked on stuff while I made dinner (bacon and turkey sandwiches with Monterrey Jack cheese and grilled onions & green bell peppers). We sat and watched TV (miracle!) and then Jorge got home and I made his dinner. Emily and I followed him to the bedroom, where he was watching the game and she and I cuddled in bed. The last thing I heard was, “Cutie girls…” before I drifted off. I woke up suddenly (probably during one of Jorge’s outbursts ’cause the Cowboys were winning :P) and tried sitting up to stay awake. Jorge said to take a nap, sleep off the headache. He’d wake me up when the game was over so we could work out.

I woke up at 11:15…and we were all passed out on the bed, including Ruffles LOL. I transferred Ems to her bedroom and then we showered and went to sleep. I slept till around 7:30 and felt like a million bucks! We’re gonna try and double our workout tonight. My pants are fitting loose from the few workouts we get in per week and from eating mostly homemade meals; I’d like to know what my results would be if we actually worked out every day!

Ok. Back to the grind!

This will be quick, because it’s almost 1am and I need to shower!

– *Finally* fixed that Flickr album error yesterday. Darn thing!

– Work was interesting. The excitement of the day was a homeless, dressed-too-young elderly lady (no really, you could see her wrinkly buttcheeks =X!) with a shit-ton of belongings trying to get a Marriott hotel shuttle to pick her up…and host her at their hotel. For free. Eventually, she did get a Fairfield shuttle to pick her up. I wish her the best =\. Interested to know what happens to her.

– It started to rain, which is my favorite weather, ever. Not so much my favorite traffic, as everyone flips out and comes to a complete halt on the Expressway. Thankfully, I made it to pick up the kids in one piece.

– Saw a double rainbow on the way to Burger King:

– Ate with the kiddos and stayed within budget, thank goodness. I had the newish California Whopper and it was SO GOOD! I had asked for the Jr., but the guy charged a Jr. and gave me a huge burger. Eenan helped me with it, though :).

– The kids were hyper so we went to the park to burn off their energy, heh. They were all on the slides, then the swings and then the girls wanted to go for a walk, so we did :).

– Dropped them off with their father. Grandmother. Because Father was nowhere to be found, of course.

– Picked up dinner for my love, who was at home watching the game with his buddies.

– Clipped coupons :).

– Sat outside with the guys while I was on my laptop. Started thinking about the glazed, chocolate & sprinkles Krispy Kreme donut I had around 3pm. And my California Whopper. And the strawberry muffin I had for breakfast with my coffee (which seemed innocent at the time but I didn’t know I’d eat so much other crap throughout the day =\). And the sips of Jorge’s extremely sweet Mango tea. I decided: THAT’S IT, FATTY. Time to get on the ball again. I started watching P90X results videos on YouTube to get hyped up and motivated. Even my babe was watching over my shoulder during commercials and we decided Sunday is the day. Sunday we start FOR REAL. I gotta get the meal plans and videos off my external harddrive and start planning things out. I don’t think we’ll be doing all the videos, since time doesn’t allow, but we’ll incorporate jogging and whatnot. I’m excited :D.

– I jogged/walked on the treadmill for 37 minutes and burned 250 cals while watching “Something Borrowed” :). Love, love, love that movie ♥!

– Did some push-ups and Ab Ripper. Ok–SOME of Ab Ripper. I am severely out of shape! But that’s all gonna change :).

– We got a random knock on the door from PD asking if someone was screaming in our house. I was like, “Wha?? No.” I was out of breath from working out and then Jorge is walking down our extremely long sidewalk from the backyard. The cop shines the light on him and says, “Do you know this man, ma’am??” I say, “Him? Oh, he’s my boyfriend.” And they bombard Jorge with handshakes and ask if anyone lives in the house next door. We say no, people moved out. They ask if the gate is always open like that, we say no. I remember hearing something like a baby crying or a howl while I was jogging, but I thought it was another TV in the house. Really strange.

– Babe came in and told me about his day :).

– And now…it’s 1:14am and I work in the morning and I should be in the shower by I’m HYPER and NOT SLEEPY!!
