I was at a conference on Tuesday and Wednesday so now I'm trying to dig out of my inbox mess. I'm still doing the step challenge at work and am doing well! I've crushed 10k steps each day and did 2 days of Couch to 5k. WOOT!
bullygirl979 your post reminded me of the current office gossip - we're doing a company-wide step challenge and the BIG SCANDAL is that multiple people in an international office hacked their iPhones to make the iPhone triple-count their steps. Everyone is all "OMG they should be banned from all future competitions!!1!" and I'm over here asking out loud if those people can be promoted to new roles in our cybersecurity team, because clearly they have skills.
I got in my long run this AM because I'm leaving work early this afternoon to get the last piece of my tattoo completed today. I've been waiting since I booked my appointment in early February. She's going to add an anchor with paw prints to it to make it all land/sea/sky.
Kiddos continue to be in crisis at my work. It seems like they're been at least one crisis for a kiddo I'm treating/overseeing every day this week, so I'm exhausted.
Last night I went out with a friend and we talked about her concerns about her marriage. We also just had a fun night out and some really weird interactions with men. We got invited to go to a boat to do drugs and drink with two of them. Another one went on a rant about the state my friend is from. It was entertaining but weird.
Tonight I might have a date. We'll see, he's someone I went out with once and haven't seen in over a year, so I have zero expectations. I'm so ready for it to be the weekend!

Today is my Friday, since tomorrow is a day off--woo hoo! I'm going out to lunch with a mentor today...looking forward to catching up with her.
Tomorrow, DH and I are supposed to go flying, which should be fun. Not sure what the rest of the day will hold...probably some cleaning and possibly some work remotely. Saturday, I'm teaching an aerial party at my studio and going wine tasting with friends afterward. Sunday, I'll relax and spend time with DH, since I head to Georgia for the last time on Sunday.

chalupa, hahaha. There is similar drama with mine. Apparently the winner last year logged over a million steps in 4 weeks. Ours is based on the honor system (lol) and people accused this person of cheating as she "known for being lazy, overweight and not working out". Personally, I'm just glad I'm motivated to move.
I'm so proud of myself for getting my workout in on Tuesday and I'm going again tonight! Then C and I are making dinner to celebrate his new job! I'm so excited for him. It's a huge pay raise and will take some of the stress of his mortgage off. His former employer wasn't paying him out his commissions in a timely manner, so this new job came at just the right time.
I sooo need the weekend. My boss has been on PTO all week and I've been covering for her. Managing her deals and my own has taken it's toll.
My Mom is visiting me this weekend for her birthday. Yay! We are going out to dinner on Friday night (and maybe a movie too). Saturday we are going skydiving ( ) and Sunday we are either going to go to a fancy tea or hiking depending on the weather.

Well, I made it to Thursday. I am back into a sleeping like crap at night cycle and I need to get over it this weekend. I'm heading up to my parent's next week, and I really need to be awake during the day. I have a crapton of stuff to get done, and I keep procrastinating. I really do function better taking classes in person and having a person around to occasionally kick my ass into gear. On the bright side, I have a meal plan for the next few days and a grocery list put together. I have to go tonight; I am out of 1/2 & 1/2 and kitchen trash bags. Uh oh. And I have a funny story to share. I have this fancy-schmancy scale I've owned for YEARS, and apparently, it has a little switch underneath it to switch from pounds to kilos or stones. Over the years it has been dragged out for use and the switch is messed up. I am now only able to weigh myself in stones. LOLOL
I'm growing older but not up. My metabolic rate is pleasantly stuck, let the winds of time blow over my head. I'd rather die while I'm living than live while I'm dead.

You just have to speak with a British accent when you weigh yourself RamblingRose!
I have been given mandatory OT this weekend, so a late night tomorrow and in for a few hours on Saturday. I didn't have a lot going on, so it's no big deal but I will be tired.
