Or at least, a busy Saturday! I was up early to go with a friend and her sister for a “photo shoot”. What a great time! Really, I don’t think I’ve had so much fun in a a while! Once I get some of the photos edited I’ll post a couple of them - probably not until next weekend though.

After the shoot I went home, ate a little bit for lunch and then went to the movies with my mom and a friend to see Made of Honor. We went straight home after the movie and I hopped in the shower to get ready for a bachelorette party! It was kind of a laid back, just hangin’ out party so I didn’t have to worry too much about being late… although I was late and I really hate to be late.

I was supposed to go to a rose festival today but I just couldn’t muster up the energy. It’s in the town that I work in (about an hour away) and it just would have eaten up my whole day. I had so much I needed to get done here at home - the price I had to pay for playing on Saturday!

A really quick note about the movie - it’s cute, it kind of follows along with the the prescribed romantic comedy guidelines, it’s got Patrick Dempsey… So all in all, I liked it. I don’t know if I’m being too sensitive but the stereotypes it emphasized (and in some ways over-exaggerated) bothered me! From the overweight bridesmaid determined to fit into a smaller dress to the gorgeous bridesmaid that tries sleeping with the men in the bridal party. Granted, neither of these characters took up the majority of the movie but it still bugged me.

On a more weighty issue… :)

I’ve still been looking up motivation tips and inspirational sayings, etc. I don’t know if they help you but I find a beautifully written encouraging paragraph to be so motivating! I have several things that I want to share with all of you. I’m going to wait though - probably until Tuesday. I don’t want them to get lost amidst a bunch of my ramblings!

I do have a link to share though. I bought a magazine last week that I hadn’t read before - Body+Soul Magazine. It’s a Martha Stewart publication and it has some very interesting articles. Two of my favorites from the current issue are A Beginner’s Guide to Organic Gardening and a Q&A from readers to the magazine by answered by two veterinarians. Essentially, get your pet’s teeth cleaned.

I hope you all have a great Monday! I’ll see you at weigh-in on Tuesday!
