Birthday Recap

9:30 AM CrossFit, check! I got lots of birthday wishes this morning at the gym, so that was really nice! I had to test my 1RM for my hang power clean because I missed that lift this week. I maxed out at 105 lbs. I tried for 110 lbs, but didn’t get very far.

WOD, 3 rounds:
400 m run
20 2 DB OH Walking Lunge (15 lbs per hand)
10 DB Push Press (15 lbs per hand)
Time: 11:19 As I was huffing and puffing around the parking lot, the owner was shouting, “Come on, birthday girl, work for that birthday cake!”

I met up with Shannon at Dunkin’ Donuts for a donut and coffee. Mmm, Boston cream donut and iced caramel latte. Afterwards, I went to Old Navy and Target and tidied up my place.

Robyn and Julie came over for dinner on Saturday night. One of Robyn's New Year's Resolutions was to make a legit layered cake. She went with a 2-layered chocolate cake with freshly whipped cream and strawberries. Julie made me a yellow cake with chocolate frosting, per my request. She made RJ and Harry cake toppers, how funny are those! Mom made me my usual birthday request dinner: beef noodle soup, yum!

CrossFit Games Workout Open 16.2

9:30 AM CrossFit, check! CrossFit Games Open Workout 16.2, scaled.

4:00 AMRAP + bonus time
25 hanging knee raises
50 single unders
Squat cleans
Round 1: 55 lbs, 15 reps
Round 2: 75 lbs, 13 reps
(Increase by 20 lbs each round)

I got through 7 squat cleans at 75 lbs and then my 8:00 were up. Whew! Catherine actually finished all 13 reps at 75 lbs and was trying so hard to lift the 95 lbs, but could only get halfway. She got further than the rest of us in the class, so that's pretty badass.

I did some grocery shopping afterwards and baked some chocolate cupcakes for when Meg and Robyn come over for dinner tonight (I was in charge of dessert and fruit…). At around 5:30 PM, Robyn showed up with broccoli salad and Meg showed up with meatloaf. The meatloaf is actually a funny story because Meg was supposed to make it at my request last year, but she was afraid that the meat spoiled before she could make it. We ended up getting Pacci's instead.

We caught each other up on our lives since we last saw each other about a month ago, while eating cupcakes, chocolate and Easter candy. Heh. We also Facetimed with Page who gave us a house tour of the place she just bought. It was so nice to talk to her! She told us a funny story about how she thought a raccoon had gotten into her house because she found poop on her couch on 2 different days. Wildlife control came in to set up traps, and what was caught was not a raccoon, but a cat! It was a neighborhood cat that must have wandered in while people were moving things in and out of the house. Oops.

Happy belated birthday to me and early birthday to Meg!

Squat Clean and Jerk, Donuts and Work Frustration

6:30 AM CrossFit, check! New lift today: squat clean and jerk. 5 x 2 at 65 lbs.
WOD: 7:00 AMRAP
3, 6, 9, etc. ladder
Thrusters (55 lbs)
Knees to chest
I got through the 12s and then tacked on 5 additional thrusters at the end.

The only guy that comes to the morning session, Ryan, is leaving tomorrow for Georgia where he’ll be spending the next few months hiking the Appalachian Trail. I’m on work travel next week so my sister and Maria will have to hold down the fort.

I finally got new keys to my mailbox unit (this has been like a 3 month struggle with the postal service). I was happy to find birthday mail from last week waiting for me (thank you, Laura and co.!), along with a new credit card and gift card I was expecting.

I told myself that if I kept my cool at the post office, I could get a donut. One chocolate iced Bavarian cream, one jelly filled. Ok, so that’s two. Heh.

I worked from home in the morning and then I went to the office to get stuff printed for the meeting next week. I took another look at the poster and realized that 2 of the graphs were the same! How did everyone miss this, especially people at CDC clearance? So, I had to call my boss about that. Then, I had to send a nagging email to some of the workgroup members, requesting a spreadsheet that was due last week. There was some back and forth with one of them...him telling initially telling us that his was complete and us telling him there was stuff missing. I told him in an email AND over the phone that I was going to be taking the rest of the week off and was going to be out on Monday through Thursday next week.

"You're going to be available over email on Thursday and Friday, right?"

o_0

UM, NO. That's what being off work means.  I mean, of course, if one of the higher ups at work emailed me, of course, I would reply, but otherwise, NO. I'm going to go to the gym, bake, make cards and enjoy my time off before work travel.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Happy birthday to me! :)

First order of business, sleep in.  Well, really, I woke up at 5 AM to feed RJ and then I went back to bed for a few hours. The big thing that I did today was get my hair cut and highlighted. And then I went to 5:15 PM CrossFit and 6:30 PM spin class. I received several birthday messages throughout the day from fellow CrossFit gym members and then again when I went to class. That was a really cool feeling.

We worked on our max time for holding our wall walks (38 second hold) and tuck holds (42 second hold).
5:00 EMOM:
5 shoulder to overhead (60 lbs) + 40 single unders
5:00 EMOM:
5 power cleans (60 lbs) + 40 single unders

After spin class, I went to my parents’ house and ate my birthday request dinner of Mom’s beef noodle soup with my parents, sister, cousin, aunt and uncle.

I brought the chocolate cake that I made last night to share with everyone, and it was a big hit, so I’ll make it again when I celebrate with friends in a few weeks.

When I blew out the candle, my uncle was still setting up his phone to take a picture so we had to relight it so he could capture the moment. That’s the story behind the picture of us all laughing. Oh, and that’s the birthday card my sister drew, featuring RJ. It was a good day! :D

A Productive Day Off

I usually take the day off for my birthday but I didn't since I had a committee call that day.  Because my boss was traveling today and I had work things under control, I decided to take today off instead. It was a really productive morning:

• Went to the library to return some books 
• Went to the ATM and gassed my car
• I got to the mall around 9:45 AM.  Costco doesn't open until 10 AM, so I went to Panera to get my free birthday pastry (I got a cinnamon roll).  That took just enough time that once I left Panera, Costco was open.  No crowd.  No lines.  It was awesome.  So much better than yesterday!  I bought 2 containers of strawberries and 1 container of blackberries, yum!  Once I checked that errand off my to-do list, I went to Target, where there's an in-store Starbucks and I cashed in on my free birthday drink (caramel flan latte). 

Time to get some steps in.  I walked to the other end of the mall to JCPenney and perused the in-store Sephora.  On my way back to Target, I noticed two ladies walking into Macy's and as I walked closer, I realize that it was my mom and my aunt doing some last-minute shopping before my aunt leaves for Taiwan tonight.  My aunt wanted to buy a necklace and she couldn't decided between gold and a multi-colored one, so she bought both.  Hah, awesome.

Because of the steps that I did at the mall, at home, at the grocery store to get oatmeal, spin class, a quick treadmill cooldown, and a Fitness Blender video, I managed to get over 17,000 steps today.  The last time I was able to reach anywhere near this level was back in November 2014 with 18,422 steps.  The Fitness Blender workout that I did today was "Cardio, Abs, Butt Workout - Fitness Blender's Red Light Green Light Workout."  This one was tough, but I was able to do the whole workout (not like last time where I had to just stop halfway...).  Also, I've been able to reach 10,000 steps every day this month.  Woot! :)

All this effort today was to balance out the cinnamon roll and latte I had today...

Happy Birthday to Me!

OPM had optional telework or leave today, so I decided to work from home since I only had 1 important call today.  After wrapping stuff up at home, I went to my parents' house.  I requested beef noodle soup for my birthday dinner and Mom was nice enough to grant that wish.  My birthday also fell on the Lunar New Year's Eve, so other relatives came to the house and brought more food with them.  

 

Julie made this birthday card for me.  Over the past few months, I joked that I wanted to get another black and white cat and name it Stella (who actually happens to be another character from Over the Hedge, where RJ was named from).  Julie drew in my hypothetical cat as well as my real cat.  Ha ha.  

Sephora Birthday Gift

After work on Friday I picked up my Sephora birthday gift: two mini Nars lip pencils, one in Cruella and one in Rikugien. I have never had anything by Nars so I was excited to try it out (and for free so I can still follow the beauty resolutions that I set for myself a few months back). I can't say that for a high end brand they are better then anything that I've bought at the drugstore (for example, my Maybelline creamy matte lipsticks).  While the colors are pretty, the staying power of these guys is not very good.

Celebrating My Birthday Early

A few days ago, Meg sent me and Robyn a text message asking when we were going to celebrate my birthday.

Oh yeah.  My birthday.

It kinda snuck up on me!  We arranged to meet up at my house for dinner and cake and presents today since next Saturday, I have a family dinner and the Saturday after that, Meg and I are headed to San Diego.  I asked them to make some of my favorite dishes that I know they can make: Robyn- broccoli salad and Meg- meatloaf.  Meg texted later today saying that the ground beef that she bought for the meatloaf had spoiled.  Yikes!  Ok, I'd much rather have a Plan B dinner than us all getting sick from spoiled meat.  We ended up getting some food from Pacci's instead.  The chocolate cheesecake turned out to be a big success and perfect for the chocolate lover in me.  I'm glad that both of them had some to take home and I have some leftovers for my family as well.

Robyn got me baking themed present with some cookie cutters, cookie stampers, sprinkles, and a cakelette pan. Meg got me an assortment of goodies: candy, cute socks, nail polish, lip balm, and a Starbucks gift card. Yay! :)

I was able to hit 10,000 steps every day this week, second week in a row! :)

New Coupon Organizer and Wallet

For my birthday, Julie gave me a coupon organizer and a new wallet from Etsy.  The coupon organizer turned out to be a little cracked on the bottom, but it's still totally useable.  I like that there are plastic dividers on the inside.  The cardstock ones that I had in my previous one just didn't hold up.  Julie contacted the coupon organizer shop, explained the situation and were prompt in giving her money back (great customer service!).  Hooray for presents!

Busy Bee Saturday

Whew, lots to report from today!

Volunteer Activity #1 of 2014: Woke up around 5:30 AM so that Julie and I could go to So Others Might Eat (SOME) to feed the homeless. It was an event that Julie proposed for AMOK.  Julie and I worked in the plate making line- my responsibility was to put 2-3 pancakes on the plate, Julie put syrup on it, the next person put bacon or sausage on the plate and then the last person put a scoop of applesauce.  As people came through the line, they got a plate and sat down to eat.  After two rounds of making plates, we stayed to round up all the chairs so that the floors could be mopped and then put the chairs back when the floor was dry.  We fed a total of 258 people today!  It felt good to help someone first thing in the morning!  I'd totally do it again.  I got this pancake job down.

One funny thing that happened was that a huge vat of liquid was put in front of Julie.  There was some butter on the top.  I thought to myself, "We're putting a laddleful of butter onto the pancakes?"  The cook came by later to stir up the vat and we realized it was really syrup.

The volunteer coordinator at SOME gave us some encouragement at the end of our session and basically told us the importance of helping others.  It made me think of the girl that I gave the $24 over a week ago.  I had texted and called her and left a message last Monday.  No reply to either.  I called her last Friday but her voice mail box was full.  Ok, you know what?  You can keep the money.  It's not worth it to me to keep stewing about why you haven't paid me back.

Nathan's Birthday Party: My coworker Aline invited me to her son's birthday party.  Nathan just turned 2.  It doesn't feel that long ago that I went to her baby shower!  I went to Petsmart, Shoppers and Target before heading to her place.  I didn't find anything that I liked at Target so I figured I'd go early (I mentioned to her that I could help set up).  I noticed that there was someone approaching her apartment too.  Oh perfect.  Hopefully I know this person and this won't be awkward.  "Hi, are you here for Aline's party?"  The girl turned around and it was another coworker (Sylvia)!  "Hiii!!"

Aline was running errands so I helped Sylvia get stuff from her car.  Soon after, another coworker Reggie arrived.  Umm, where's Nathan?  Nathan turned out to be at his uncle's house sleeping.  Guests started to arrive.  Aline sent Reggie to get Nathan and I went along as the navigator.  Navigating was tough because the street address that Aline gave me was 101, but after driving around and calling the uncle, we realized that the street address was really 1001.  Yikes.  Oh well,  Nathan can be fashionably late to his own party.  He was so excited to see all the balloons and friends at his place.

I hung out with my coworkers for a little bit and then it was time to go home to celebrate my own birthday.  :D

Birthday Celebration with Friends: My birthday celebration with friends was postponed from last week because Meg was sick and Robyn just got back from vacation.  I placed an order at Pacci's earlier in the day.  The place is a little small and they don't take reservations.  The take out was more convenient because then we could eat at our leisure and talk/laugh as much as we wanted.  Julie picked up some tiramisu for dessert, yum!  Robyn got me some Philosophy stuff (smells so good!) and Meg got me a puzzle (great timing since we have some wintery weather coming on Monday that will probably shut down the federal government, which means no work for me...), a red glitter nail polish, and a bag of Swedish fish, which I cracked open immediately to share because it's too much for one person.

Julie fell asleep on the couch while Meg, Robyn and I were talking.  RJ kept her company.  It was a long day!

Next up, Meg's birthday celebration next Saturday!

Song of the last few days: "Talk Dirty To Me"- Jason Derulo.  I don't particularly care for the lyrics, but the beat is catchy.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Yay, birthday! :)  No work today...because I said so.  It was another lazy day on the couch, where I enjoyed the texts and Facebook messages roll blow up my phone. 

I got off the couch to go to spin class (yay).  At the end of class, Janice was like "Hey, are you Washington and Lee?"  Yeah (well, that's where I went to school).  "I saw you driving the other day!"  Ah, it must have been Sunday when I was leaving spin class.  "You have Hello Kitty in your car!"  I laughed out of embarrassment. 

Afterwards, I went to my parents' house where Mom had made carrot cake!  That was a surprise to me.  Julie tacked on a candle and let me blow it out.  I posted this picture on Facebook and my cousin had seen it and decided to come over to see if there was any cake for him.  Ha ha.  The birthday celebrations will continue this weekend with friends on Saturday and family on Sunday.

Happy Birthday to Me, Part 2

Today, I celebrated my 30th birthday by sleeping in, shopping, and then going out to dinner with my family.  I also had the day off from work, which was an extra bonus.

I came back from the mall with two work shirts, one workout shirt, one neon shirt for the upcoming cruise, two pairs of flip flops for the cruise, and two pairs of earrings.  :D  For dinner, my uncle, 2 aunts, parents, and cousin and I went to Founding Farmers, where I got their crab cakes.  For dessert, we ordered red velvet cake, carrot cake, and vanilla bean cheesecake (1 slice each).  It was amazing food.  I got a fruity drink, but its name escapes me.  It was really good though...I drank the whole thing!  My last birthday celebration will be on Saturday when Meg and Robyn come over for dinner.  Gotta stretch the festivities out!

Happy Birthday to Me, Part 1

On Friday, I headed to Charlottesville, VA to visit my sister.  Since our birthdays are close together and she wasn't going to be at home for her birthday, I decided to make the drive down there to celebrate with her and also help her start moving stuff back home.

Julie made some red velvet cupcakes for me, complete with some cream cheese frosting.  Good stuff.  Once I had a sampling, it was off to lunch, where we went to Mellow Mushroom.  I got a small house special pizza.  Look at all the toppings!  I could only eat 1.5 slices and had to pack the rest up. 

For dinner tonight, we got carry out from Milan (an Indian restaurant): butter chicken and chick peas and naan.  This was pretty much a repeat from last year's visit to Charlottesville.  Because I forgot to bring movies and the local Redbox didn't have anything interesting, we spent this evening organizing and figuring out what items would come back to Maryland with me.  Yeah, a wild and crazy Saturday night for us!

Birthday Celebration, Part 3 + Fall-To Layout #178

Shopping: OMG, there's definitely an upside and a downside to watching haul videos on YouTube. I consider YouTube a fantastic resource on where to get good deals on crafty supplies, but then I feel the urge to go to the stores so that I can join in on the shopping fun. After this birthday weekend of shopping, I'll have to take a long break from going into any of these stores!

Birthday festivities: 1 birthday, celebrated 3 different times. I feel so loved! Tonight, I went to my parents' house for dinner with my cousin, 2 aunts, uncle and my cousin's kid (first cousin, once removed?). We ate sushi from one of my favorite restaurants and topped off the night with finishing the chocolate cheesecake that I baked Friday night. I had to make sure it was out of my house because I would probably have eventually eaten the whole thing myself. Everyone seemed to like it, hooray! My cousin gave me a pot of tulips, which were really pretty.
Card: With all the item's that I bought yesterday and today, I was very excited to make a card. Here's my take on Fall-To Layout #178. I started out with some American Crafts paper. It was first one on the stack that I bought from Tuesday Morning.
Card Specs:
Ink: Colorbox chalk ink in Chestnut Roan
Stamps: Hero Arts- Everyday Sayings
Paper: American Crafts- The Classics
Punches: Fiskars Apron Lace border punch
Die: QuicKutz- Birds
Other: Liquid Pearl in White Opal, We R Memory Keepers Sew Easy Fancy Floss in Cream Soda

Birthday Celebration, Part 2

Birthday festivities: My birthday started off with my phone buzzing in the early hours of the morning. Julie posted "Happy Birthday" on my Facebook wall, with each letter getting a separate post. The iPhone Facebook notifications were going off the hook. She frowned at the fact that someone else beat her to the first Facebook wall post.

Even though I stayed in bed longer than I usually do, I was very energized when I got up. I vacuumed my place up and did a load of laundry with towels and the dining room table cloth (it was very furry from RJ). Then I drove around in search for crafty things (see haul video below) and went to my parents' house. Mom framed my undergraduate and graduate school diplomas (they had been in a tube all this time). Julie got me some items off my crafty wish list and drew the cartoon kitty card with RJ on the front and family cats Ginger and Oliver (he died a few years ago) on the inside. It's not my birthday without some crafty presents, right?

Meg and Robyn came over to celebrate and the 3 of us went to see The Vow (Channing Tatum, yay), get Mexican food afterwards, and topped the night off with present opening and the chocolate cheesecake that I made last night. I'm going to count it as recipe #4 in 2012 New Year's recipe resolution. Yummm. Meg got me a recipe magazine with some baking cups and spoons, and Robyn got me the Captain America DVD. Guess what I'll be watching tomorrow. Hey, I gotta make sure the DVD works fine.

It's been a great birthday today, and I feel really loved with all the birthday calls, texts, Facebook posts and friends/family to celebrate it with. Birthday celebration part 3 will be tomorrow with my family.
Shopping: I decided to treat myself to a trip to Marshalls today. It IS my birthday after all. I got lots of American Crafts and Pebbles goodies.
Song of the day: "Part of Me" - Katy Perry.

Birthday Prep

This year, I decided to bake my own birthday cake. Sure, I could ask my parents to get me a red velvet cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory like they did a few years ago, but I wanted to try baking my own cheesecake by myself using this chocolate cheesecake recipe. I saw it on Annie's Eats recently, and I just knew it would be fully awesome. Unfortunately, it's not like I can taste test it before Meg and Robyn come over. Maybe I should bake emergency cupcakes or cookies as a back-up? Oh, the suspense. There will be a full reveal tomorrow. :)

Thank goodness for dishwashers. I made a total mess of my kitchen during tonight's culinary adventure. I can't decide if this is recipe #3.5 or #4 in my 2012 recipe New Year's resolution. I mean, my sister and I made a cheesecake for Thanksgiving last year, but this is my first one I've baked on my own.

Birthday Celebration, Part 1

My birthday's on Saturday, but I've already started celebrating. Today, I celebrated with my office mates. The girl that I share my office with bought a cheesecake with fruit on top for me to share with other people in the office. It was so good! There was one last piece, and I brought it over to Jennifer across the street. She gave me some Ghirardelli peppermint bark as a birthday treat. I had no idea that you could get that stuff when it's not Christmas time. I'm ending this post with a picture of RJ from earlier, showing off his tubby for all the world to see.

Spring Sister Challenge, Day 3 + New Scrapbook Page

My $1 stamp stash has kinda gotten out of control. I've been using thin cardboard boxes to store them, but it's been difficult to find what stamps I want to use because they are all piled on top of each other. Today, I found a treat container that Mom put in the to-be-recycled bin and I decided to use it to store my sentiment stamps. They are all laid out on one level and it's now so much easier to find what I'm looking for. Hooray for being green. :)I've finally put together a scrapbook page to showcase the birthday cards I received in the mail this year. I did something similar with last year's Christmas cards. I wanted to capture some of the things that I did for my birthday as well as use some of the items that I got for my birthday within the page (the sweets paper and stamp came from Meg). The Washington Post also has a horoscope section, and I cut out the horoscope specific for people who have a birthday on that day. I glued the birthday horoscope on a tag and journaled on the back of it. I created a small pocket for it in the upper right so that I wouldn't have to worry about it getting lost. The page was made on white cardstock, even though the scanner kinda made it look grey.

Page Specs:
Ink: Colorbox chalk ink in Orchid Pastel
Paper: Die Cuts with a View- Sweet Stack, Die Cuts with a View- Stack 7
Punch: Fiskars Upper Crest border punch
Stamp: Hero Arts- Time to Enjoy (sentiment)
Die: Sizzix- Tags, Scallop Combo #2 (tag)
Other: Magenta Sharpie Ultra Fine Point marker
Stickers: American Crafts Dear Lizzy Christmas Glitter Thickers-Sparkling Opal

For today's sister challenge, Julie picked out a sentiment stamp that I don't think I've used before, even though I think I bought it a few years ago. Oops. I thought it'd go perfectly with the bunny butt stamp. Similar to this card that I made last week, I used tiny rhinestones to add dimension to the card.

Card Specs:
Ink: Colorbox chalk ink in Blackbird
Stamp: Studio G (bunnies, sentiment)
Punch: We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper
Paper: Die Cuts with a View - Stack 7 (blue), American Crafts- Letterbox (yellow), American Crafts- Metropolitan (red)

The St. Patrick's 8K race is tomorrow...send good running vibes in the morning! Full report to follow on Sunday. :)

Crafty Presents!

My new running shoes have been shipped, yay! I love prompt customer service!

After a day of conference calls, I wasn't sure if I'd make it to the gym tonight for spin class, but I forced myself to go and got a good workout in return. Go me.

My sister made a pit stop at home before driving to a grad school visit and left me some crafty presents on my desk (the other half to be opened on Saturday at the family birthday celebration). 3 packs of stickers, 2 rolls of glue dots (I'm down to 3 glue dots...this was a necessity!) and 2 stamps, and each crafty item came with a little note written on a Post-It note. My challenge tonight was "to incorporate at least one of these items" in my cards tonight and tomorrow night. "Bonus points if you can incorporate more than 1 item. Glue dots don't count!"

Alright, I'm up for a challenge! I had a kraft cardbase already cut out so that's what I started with. Then I looked at the stickers: animal, fish, and floral. I really liked the cream colored flowers against the kraft cardstock. Then I chose some bright colors that would go well with the flowers. The stamp was one that she gave me, so I definitely get bonus points!

Card Specs:
Ink: Colorbox chalk ink in Blackbird
Stamps: Studio G (sentiment)
Punch: We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper, Martha Stewart Doily Lace border punch
Stickers: Jolee's Boutique- Cream Flower
Paper: Die Cuts with a View- Stack 7

Happy Birthday to Me, Part 2

This morning, at the end of spin class, the instructor rummaged around and said "Ok, who took my shoes?" One of the ladies that was just about to leave realized that she was the culprit and gave them back. I guess she was running on auto-pilot, even though she had put her street shoes in a bag before the class started. Ha ha.

I went out with my friends Robyn and Meg for my birthday dinner. Although the wait at The Cheesecake Factory was over an hour, it was totally worth it. I got the chicken marsala and because the portion is so big, I'm happy to report that I have leftovers for tomorrow. After dinner, we went to Borders, which was having a storewide going-out-of-business sale. And then we ended up back at the house to finish our cheesecakes that we got to-go and rehashed stories from college, which, yes, are still funny the 10 billionth time. Meg got me some paper crafting supplies (candy/cupcake themed this time, instead of the tropical theme last year) and Robyn got me a cute cat coin purse and some paper made from elephant poop. Yes, there is such a thing! :)

When I was reading some blogs this afternoon, I saw Christine from ScrapTime create some fabric flowers, and I wanted to try it out for myself. I had bought some fabric last week and this was a great opportunity to use it. In the video, it looks like she's using something like a giant glue dot to get the fabric to stay put when rolling the flower together. Since I don't have that product, I just used my ATG gun and dabbed some Glossy Accents in some of the folds to keep the flower together once the adhesive dries. I guess I could have used a hot glue gun, but it has a tendency to be messy (although, that's what I used to stick the gem in the center of the flower).

Card Specs:
