Friday night Jim and I cuddled on the couch and watched the Olympics. The Opening Cermonies were wonderful! I made the comment to Jim that parts reminded me so much of the Tapestry of Dreams parade and IllumiNations! at Disney World. Jim gave me a big roll of the eyes for that comment. LOL Being a Disney travel agent keeps those things on the brain at all times. :-)

Saturday I really meant to work out. I really did. But I didn't. BAD, BAD TRICIA. I know. Instead I lazed around with my husband. Not good for the body but good for the soul. So I took it as a soul-exercise day. :-) Went out to dinner at Bennigan's. We hadn't been there in a couple of years. Yum. And they serve meals on Fiestaware, which I adore. LOL The portions were rather large but I did great. Ate my baked potato (little butter, no sour cream), ate just two small chicken tenders and one roll. Got the rest to go (which I ate over the course of two more meals). I was so proud of myself! Even with large meals, I sometimes just eat it, so I don't have to mess with taking it home. And I hate to "waste" food, so I rarely leave anything on it. So it usually all ends up in my stomach and I feel terrible for the next three days. After dinner, we did a little shopping and then back home for the Olympics.

Sunday I got up and did some work. I had ignored my clients Friday evening and Saturday and they were getting a bit impatient. LOL Took care of that and then meant to go work out. But I took another soul-exercise day. (Does that count, B4L girls?? How many minutes can I put towards my monthly goal for that?! *giggle*) Made roast for dinner (that's really becoming an every Sunday meal) and watched more Olympics (hey, with all the Olympics I watched this weekend, I should SURELY get to count that towards my goal!!!).

It was a really good weekend. Jim and I spent some much needed together time (in and out of bed, hehe). Sex wasn't painful this weekend, so we had to take advantage of that. ;-) It's amazing how much sex can mean when you can't do it very often. Always recharges us. And we've really needed that. Things have been good. They really have. But without sex, things just get "off". So recharging all that was just what we needed! I really, truly, deeply, amazingly adore my husband. :-)

As for today...I did finally work out! Not for very long though. My body has been achy for awhile and today was really bad. I'm not sure if its the weather or what but my joints are so stiff each morning and by the end of each evening. I just couldn't walk for long today. But at least I did something. And I'm just 49 minutes away from my goal for the month! Ate well today. Baked potato and a chicken strip for lunch. Yummy salad for dinner (nothing really fattening...other than the croutons). An apple for late-night snack.

Work has been insane today. People are in full force planning for spring/summer vacations. Making me nuts! But I adore my job. I'm reminded often how truly lucky I am to have a job that I so truly love. My classes went great today. The kids seem to be out of whatever funk they've been in for the last month or so. Thank goodness! Of course, they'll be getting Spring Fever soon! But they are great kids. I really do have an awesome group.

And DH found out he's getting a bonus this year!! Yea!!! We weren't expecting it at all. Motorola has laid off 40,000+ people in the past year, so we're just thankful he has a job. So a bonus is amazing! He doesn't think he'll get a raise in April. Last year, they postponed them until October. He got a cost-of-living raise and an achievement raise then, with his promotion. He's not expecting a promotion again this year, as most people stay at this level for 2-3 years. But his manager has hinted that he'll get one, so we're keeping our fingers crossed.

And now its midnight..YIKES! How did it get that late??! So I'm off to bed! Have a great Tuesday!!!
