The Weekend in Review

Mr. BBM's office party was quite fun on Friday night. I was able to meet many of his co-workers and by the time the evening rolled around, I was actually able to lift my arms a bit. Instead of dancing, I made up new lyrics to some songs. Take "The Twist" for example. . . "Come on baby, let's tear an ACL. . . Come on BAH BEE, let's tear an ACL."

I know, ACL humor is hysterical. You're welcome.

Saturday, I spent the entire day cooking and preparing for the annual Pitt party. I adopted the theme of July at Christmas (a play on Christmas in July) and prepared BBQ Jerk chicken, hot dogs for the kids, and had friends bring pasta salad and crab dip. We also did a late night tortilla chip and dip and Buffalo bites snack while we were playing "Apples to Apples," a hysterical game that always gets big laughs. It's also super fun playing with people who've had a few drinks.

Today, I spent an hour and a half preparing breakfast for the friends who stayed over because Mr. BBM was a bit "incapacitated." I'm not the breakfast chef, but it all turned out o.k. Later, I met my trainer at the gym where he worked me to the point of complete exhaustion. I still managed to go kick around the pool for a couple laps afterward with a good friend though.

Basically I can barely lift my fingers after the workout I had, and am now going to prop my book up on my lap and try to figure out a way to turn the pages without lifting my arms. Also, drinking a ton of water (thanks for that advice, my dedicated reader-we'll see how it turns out tomorrow).
