This past weekend was my first full weekend home after the wedding. It was also the first weekend home from school when I didn't have any wedding stuff to accomplish. With these qualifications you would expect it to be a relaxing weekend but it was crazy busy!

Friday night we drove a friend over to "Danny's area" and hung out with said friend and another friend, just hanging out and relaxing. So far so good.

Saturday morning was Danny's flag football playoff game. I went to cheer him on (and make sure he didn't have to get stitches again...) and got to chat with another player's girlfriend that I had met a few weeks before. It was a darn good thing I brought/slathered myself with sunscreen because it was hot and full sun - blegh. I managed not to get burned, though, which was awesome. The less awesome part was that they lost the game, but I think they were kind of happy about it because if they had won, they would have had to play another playoff game later in the day and then a last game (championship). I think everyone was glad to get out of the sun and into the AC - I know I was and I wasn't even running around!

After that, we headed back to "my area" (about an hour away from "Danny's area"). We spent the afternoon running errands and came home for a family barbecue with my sister and parents. The food was excellent and it was fun to play with my sister's Boston Terrier, Trudy. That dog always has something hilarious up her sleeve.

Sunday I thought I'd get to sleep in, but after Danny left for basketball with friends I couldn't fall back asleep. So I got up and helped my mom with her crossword puzzle (I'm so bad at them!) before Danny called saying basketball was canceled. He came home and we went for a run, then headed back to his area for another cookout. We stayed there longer than we had intended (although in good company, to be fair) and then had to drop a weed whacker off at another friend's place before heading home. Well, traffic was awful, mostly because it was raining, so we didn't get home until after 9pm yesterday. At which point we showered, talked and went straight to sleep, haha.

So it wasn't quite the peaceful weekend I was suspecting, but it was still nice to see everyone and eat a lot of barbecue food.

Food reminds me that I have decided on a June resolution (albeit with some hesitation): be healthier. I know, I know! I turned my nose up at such talk when I first unveiled my mini-resolution concept. But I feel like it's something I need to do to appreciate myself and lately I haven't really been appreciating myself much.

Game plan:
Exercise more - run or walk at least 4x/week
Decrease my junk food intake - fruits/veggies for snacks, no ice cream/cupcakes/dessert food
Get back to eating less meat - in one meal per day or less.
Do my very best to get soda out of my life for good - NO MORE than one can per day, then e.o.d.

I'd like to make it a graduated scale where each week I move more and more away from my current habits and closer toward a more healthy ideal but I don't need to type that all out for you.

So I have a busy month ahead of me, and not just because of this resolution. I have a lot of ducks to get lined up and it all starts with making a Master To Do List. In which I will list everything I can think of that needs to be done. Don't think there's much relaxation for me in the future...
