Last year, Rosemary, Coco and I took a chair and pole dance workshop for my birthday and had a blast while getting an awesome workout! This year the same studio posted a similar deal and this time offered Hip Hop. Since I'm always looking for a new and entertaining way to work out, I asked the girls if they would want to take a class with me. Rosemary couldn't make it but Coco, GMP and myself hit the fitness center, felt the beat and got the one of the best and most entertaining hour-long workouts.
Now I'm trying to justify a monthly membership to another, yet different kind of fitness club. Too bad money doesn't grow on trees....

Just sayin'
A major morning workout at 4:30 am, followed by a full 9 hour day at your main job, followed by 2.5 hours of side accounting work and then going out for drinks with your friends afterwards and not getting home until 10:30 makes you very tired and makes it very difficult to get up and be raring to go for Tuesday.
I don't know what made me think that Monday was a great time to push myself to my limit but I'm definitely feeling it this morning. Oh and in case you're wondering, my alarm went off at 4 am so I could get my morning workout in again today and it promptly was turned off.
Right now, I'm just hoping I stay awake at work today.

Guy, Paula, Memphis & more
Well, since I officially agreed to more side accounting work starting up again next week, I figured I better provide some details on all of the fun from the past 4 weekend rewards before I have to buckle down and get back to work.
So, here we go!
I'm extremely glad I let loose a bit and I enjoyed every second of my extra time off. Now it's back down to business...at least for a few weeks.
So, here we go!

Love & Best Dishes
My love of cooking has grown dramatically over the past year. I feel comfortable and most at home when I'm in my teeny tiny kitchen or talking about ingredients, recipes, my restaurant dream or anything else food related. Nearly 2 weeks ago, I was able to see Guy Fieri when he visited St. Louis and I thought I was in heaven getting to attend an event of someone pursuing their food dreams.
Soon after I purchased my tickets to see Guy, a notification on my popped up on my Facebook page that another one of my food icons was scheduling a visit to Harrah's in Tunica on June 11th. Normally, I would wish to go but never follow through with a plan to actually make a trip to an event like that. Until now...
After verifying with Broccoli that I was not crazy for wanting to take a 24 hour trip to a city 5 hours away for something as silly as seeing one of my favorite Food Network stars live and in person, I decided to ask Coco if she would be willing to tag along on my adventure. And....she willingly agree to make the trip! So tomorrow morning, these two girls are headed to Tunica to see one of the greatest home cooks/restaurateurs of all times, Paula Deen!
The Tunica/Memphis area is a great place to visit anyway and being able to make this whirlwind trip to see Paula is a once in a lifetime chance. I am soooooooooo excited!!

One upped
Remember when I posted this?!?
I didn't think there would be another chance to experience anything nearly as awesome as that weekend back in January, yet, this weekend totally surpassed it. A weekend break away from home, away from the hustle and bustle of my job, away from my household responsibilities and away from my crazy workouts. It was a chance to relax my mind, body and soul and enjoy some quality time with the person that loves me despite all of my idiosyncrasies. I truly am one lucky girl.
I definitely had a hard time being thrown back into reality when I got home tonight and I'm not really ready to restart my routine but I am hoping that all of the fun weekend memories will make it easier.
