Happy Friday and Happy Labor Day Weekend! I honestly forgot it was LDW until Wednesday when I was watching TV and a commercial came on about Labor Day Sales. Needless to say I didn’t plan anything fun. A good thing since I am now sick with a nasty cold. I started feeling unwell Monday, I knew a cold was coming on. It was a type of sick feeling where you know you are getting sick but you also have the energy to do normal things. I took naps here and there throughout the week while trying to push through my work and events. Today, however, I am taking a “sick” day. By that I mean I slept in (went to bed at 9:30pm and did not set my alarm, woke up at 10am), cancelled my workout, and am planning on covering myself with a blanket while watching Netflix. I will still be doing work here and there. Enjoy your vacations to the beach…. I am jealous, drink a glass of champagne for me.

Happy Friday!! This past week felt like it flew by, and I didn’t do anything special. No events or dinners with friends, just leisurely lived my life. And it felt great! Even when I got plantar fasciitis in my left foot and spent all day Wednesday on the couch icing it because I couldn’t walk, I still had a great time. I watched reruns of Will and Grace, got a lot of work done on my blog, and even slept in. I am one wild gal. My foot still hurts and I am trying not to jump during my workouts, also icing it when I get the chance. I need to get new athletic shoes but can’t decide which brand/style to buy. I want these blush colored APL’s but not sure if they will support me enough while I work out. I am the most indecisive person when it comes to buying athletic shoes.

Happy Friday!!! Today I am off to Jersey for the weekend. My parents, aunt, uncle, and cousins are meeting me at Rutgers University for The Ohio State game. I am excited to spend time with my family this weekend and to go to the game! But before I head to Rutgers I am attending the Kate Spade Leopard Leopard Leopard event that features a talk with KSNY’s president Deborah Lloyd and Leandra Medine, founder of Man Repeller. I am so excited for this event and to hear these ladies speak!

Happy Friday!! I can’t believe it is already August! My birthday month! Turning a year older, maybe wiser, but a lot more confident that is for sure. I am happy where my life is right now and wouldn’t trade it for the world. Turning another year older does not mean anything to me except gathering a little bit more life experience. Life right now is busy, evolving, and exciting!
