Day 6


 Cicely

Today my custom built desktop decided to have a fit. I turned her on and she went into a strange disk recovery screen for Windows 8. After quite a while, she did some weird black screen, white text super scrolling speed demon shit then proceeded to boot Windows 7… which I have not used on this machine since 2013. UGH. Why is she doing this?! Now, I’ve got to try to find time to fix her, but it’s going to have to wait. I love to listen to music on her because she has the best speakers in the house. Ugh. #firstworldproblems

It was a hot one out today. Well, I haven’t been outside since 7:30AM, but it was hot then and weather.com  is saying it’s 94 degrees out. I was supposed to play softball, but I decided to sit out as I’m still sunburned and generally just drained from this weekend’s superb activities.

Started a new 8 day today! Feeling a little sluggish and still haven’t met my health and fitness goals, so I’m getting back on that horse and riding it for 8 full days to get back in shape. My birthday weekend was fun, but MAN it did a number on my progress. 🙂

Wound up going to see “Ant-Man” with some friends! It was good!

That’s all today. 🙂

Days 3, 4, & 5


 Cicely

Wooooo the past few days have been QUITE the whirlwind. I continued my birthday festivities with a massage on Friday afternoon then a National’s baseball game on Friday. It was so fun getting to hang out and to know fellow colleagues on my corporate softball team.

Saturday, I slept in way later than normal due to the late night before, but still got up and had a friend over with her baby, WHO IS ADORABLE. I cannot get enough of him! I wound up having to work about 4 hours Saturday because one of my client teams needed some surge support to meet a Monday deadline. I didn’t stay up very late at all becauseeeee…..

Sunday I floated the Shenandoah with some friends! It was nice to leave the phone in the car and just unplug for the afternoon. Of course my body is a little mad at me this morning thanks to the sunburn, battle wounds with the bottom of the river, and the DELICIOUS fried oreo sundae last night. We stopped at a really great seafood place on the way back and it was amazing. Here’s a pic of my sunburned knees (belly is burnt a bit too) and big ole boo-boo on my right shin. I’ll heal. 🙂

Day 2


 Cicely

Day 1 could not have been more perfect. I went shopping for a birthday outfit and came up with this bad boy! LOVE IT!

I also had my hair trimmed and blown out. It’s actually still amazing looking despite being slept on. Unfortunately, the blow out is going to end in a short bit when I color my hair. It’s been a couple months and is needed. New year of life and new hair! Can’t go wrong with that.

Dinner last night so AMAZING. 12 wonderful friends came out to wish me a happy birthday. This picture of the whole group isn’t the best picture, but I still adore it. We went to Landini Bros. in Old Town Alexandria, VA. I had a great time, everyone else said they did too, so I call this a success!

I’m feeling so good today. I’ve got a softball game tonight against one of our rival teams… it can get a bit nasty so here’s hoping for a calm, fun game tonight. No rain in the forecast! WOOT! Rain lately… sheesh. SO many games cancelled I can’t even talk about it.

30 baby. Starting off better than I could have imagined!

Today is the day…


 Cicely

… I turn 30. I’ve been anticipating this day for a while now. It’s kind of like “meh” now that I’m here, but I’m ready to get the festivities rolling. I took he majority of the day off work and just completed a nap. +30 rest points, woot! I’m getting ready to go shop for a birthday dinner outfit, get my hair trimmed, blown out, and eyebrows done. Then tonight is birthday dinner! So excited to see so many friends all in one place!

I’m feeling good today and about what is to come. Recently, I’ve started focusing on my health and fitness and it has changed my life. Excited to see what comes!
