Weekend Update & The Craziness of the Week

I've been a slacker for a few days and haven't posted.  So here goes a quick version:

-Friday night, we went to dinner with Alli and the Architect.  It was fabulous!  The Architect is a great guy (and we all know how great Alli is!), and the four of us spent over 3 hours just chatting away about everything from work to friends to everything in between.  It was a blast and I can't wait to do it again!  :)
-Saturday, I got a lot of errands done that I really needed to do: got our son's savings account transferred over to the new bank and requested an ATM card so we could make ATM deposits, went by the library to drop off and pick up books, took and picked up a photo of what I want for hubby's birthday cake (we are doing a Hawaiian theme so I took a picture of one of his Hawaiian shirts and they are going to do a pull-apart cupcake cake in that design), picked up party decorations for the party (it's his 30th!), went to Target and did some grocery shopping (and got the new Target debit card so I can now save 5%, get pharmacy rewards, and give rewards to our son's new elementary school - love me some Target!), and then finished up the bakery/meats/produce shopping that evening after dinner.  It was a whirlwind day but we got everything done!  :)  We also got to go out to dinner with another of our favorite couples - the husband is one of my hubby's best friends since like 2nd grade and the wife went to school with them as well and they have a daughter who is a bit older than our son and are expecting another baby at the very end of May. 
-Sunday, I got up and did my 3rd run for week 1 of the Couch to 5K.  For my reward in completing the first week, I purchased "E.T" by Katy Perry (the regular version, not the one with Kanye because that one is a bit too dirty for my taste and I usually don't get bothered by that stuff!) and the new Britney song (something about on the dance floor!).  :)  Then we headed to R2GoKids to check out some new furniture for the little guy. The main piece we are looking at is below.  We love it because we think it will be functional for a long time and his room is kind of small so it will allow him to have lots of storage plus a desk and two bed options.  We are going to keep looking a bit more and mainly research mattresses and hopefully purchase it in the next month or two.

 The rest of Sunday was lots of laundry and trying to clean up the house although we have a lot of spring cleaning yet to do!  :) 

After such a fabulous weekend, I didn't want it to end and have to go back to work and yesterday started off crazy with scary thunderstorms waking me up in the middle of the night, followed by forgetting my laptop at home and having to turn around yesterday morning, and just a generally tense mood around here because it's "review" week.  I'm sure I will have more good stories to tell soon enough!  ;) 

Other than that, I did my 1st run of my 2nd week of the couch to 5K this morning and it felt really good.  We also did our workout here after work last night so I'm getting in a groove with the workout part of my life at least.  ;)  Looking forward to the weekend even though it's already Tuesday because this is a rough week and I'm ready just to relax and celebrate my hubby's birthday (which is actually Monday but we are big into birthday weekends in our family and his party is Saturday night!).  :)  Hope you are having a good week and will try to check in more often.
