Yes, I would LOVE to banish my fat....

"Operation: Tankini" has sadly taken a backseat. =( I woke up yesterday morning with a scratchy throat and an annoying cough. I drank so much hot tea and now I'm sick of it. (And I am a tea person!) How ironic since the day before I bought a yoga mat, a scale, and Jillian Michael's "Banish Fat Boost Metabolism" DVD. All her videos are super cheap! $9 at Target! This workout used to be OnDemand in its entirety but now they only show like 20 minutes of it? What the? It's actually 40 minutes! I used to do this workout almost everyday last spring and summer. I'm really tired of my sporadic exercising. I miss being not chubby Steeny. Haha. Hopefully next week, I'll be able to start exercising again. =)

This past weekend was very eventful! Barrett and I went to Cornelius' 3rd birthday party on Saturday. Barrett spent almost the whole time sliding down the slides and running around with his Spongebob balloon. He is super obsessed with Spongebob. I don't even know how it started.....::sigh::

On Sunday, Barrett and I went to Tilden Park in Berkeley with Julie, Owen, and my mother-in-law. I had no idea it even existed! We went to the Little Farm and fed the cows! We also saw goats, sheep, a mama pig and her piglets, turkeys, chickens, and chicks! Then we rode the merry-go-round (twice! and I got super dizzy!), and had a nice picnic by Lake Anza. I can't wait to go back!

This coming Saturday, I'm finally going to see Wicked! I read the book when it first came out, and when I found out there was a musical based on it, I've wanted to see it. This is a years-long wish that's finally coming true! (I sure do dream big, don't I? Hahaha!) Even if I am still a little sick, I am NOT missing it! I guess I will be the one person I hate during theater performances. The cough attack! (I actually have many pet peeves about theater-goers....ESPECIALLY ones that attend the ballet but that's for another post!) You know when it's all quiet during an important part of a performance and then THE COUGH ATTACK decides to start??!! I know they probably can't help it. They usually keep theaters and auditoriums kinda warm so the dry air makes people cough... And I'm a hypocrite since that will probably be me on Saturday but ehhh c'est la vie!

In other random Steeny news....I made an appointment with Cheesepie (Nicci to others!) to do an updo for my cousin-in-law's wedding. I'm so excited! I rarely get to dress up. I don't even know what I'm wearing but it's not for a couple weeks so I guess I still have time. We also have another wedding to go to in July. I love weddings! I cry at all of them. I even cried at mine. Hahaha. So cheesy!

Is anybody excited about but also dreading the SERIES finale of "Lost"? I actually loved the episode where they explained how Jacob and the smoke monster came to be. A lot of people thought it was stupid....but I was hoping for some fantasy godly myth type of reason as to why they were on "the island"....so when that episode came on I was dancing in my seat! I can't wait for the finale on Sunday but I will also be in mourning.

Today is just going to be a lazy couch and nap day. Barrett and Owen have been watching Sesame Street and Nickelodeon shows all morning. I guess I'll fold some laundry and wait for naptime. Later taters!
