All that Jazz

This post would have likely looked and sounded a lot different had I actually posted it prior to 12pm like I intended.  But regardless, here it goes. 

I had thought of the title "All that Jazz", because, this morning I was Jazzed about life.  It was a fabulous, and then some, weekend.  To recap:



Fierce.



*Friday night strolled the MOA with Peter (crazy busy with Nebraska fans), went to bed early - being on my feet all day, and then walking the mall for a few hours left my legs slightly aggitated. 



Get it.

*Jumped out of bed Saturday morning, went and did a heavy leg lift (love), got my squat back up to a reasonable weight.  Still have work to do, but at least I'm well into the 2-hundo's for 5 reps. 



*As a result of my ubber tight hamstrings, and some core weakness, my low back got a bit aggitated; so after my shift I stuck around and had a fellow MT work on me.  Instant relief!  She did some deep work on low back, glutes, as well as psoas and abs.  If you've never had deep tissue on your abs/psoas, don't.  Okay.  Well do.  But be prepared.  It. Is. Intense.  I'm still sore and my internal organs are still trying to settle down.  (Lets just leave it at that).

*Then Margot and I went to treat our piggies to some TLC.  PEDICURE. Yum.  Talk about Happy Feet. 

*We went back to the Andrus compound and vegged the rest of the day.  Kickin it with Barbi's nieces/nephew who were staying for the weekend, grilled, crafted, played Wii, had an awesome day. 

*Played wayyy too much Tetris with Barbi, wayyy to late - so I didn't exactly jump out of bed Sunday morning.  None the less, got up, got to work, did my thang.  Then picked up Peter (he was at Hamline Homecoming Festivities Saturday), and we made a run for the border. 



*Went to Mom and Jacks for birthday (Jon & Peter) Grillebration (Grill + Celebration).  Got to love on Dain, Ella, and Nolan (which I was experiencing withdrawls it had been so long since I'd seen them).

*Watched the Packer/Viking game.  Lets not talk about any other sports happenings.  Wisconsinites have been pretty lucky for fall sports, but Saturday was a definete dark spot.

*Got to take care of some overdue laundry; and while waiting for 3 loads to dry, we watched the Blu Ray version of Soul Surfer.  This is why I was Jazzed about life this morning.  I could watch that movie every day, and it would move and motivate me every time.  There are a few parts that make me misty eyed, even for the fourth time watching. 

*Today, Monday October 24th, I woke up Jazzed about life.  I got up, had my breakfast (oatmeal, and Chocolate Whey Protein Coffee Shake) and got in my shoulder/bi lift.  Wahoo.  Start your day with that breakfast and that lift...its bound to be a great day! 

*Random: Over the weekend, since Barbi's nieces/nephew were around, one of them kept getting startled by my intense text notification sound, so I changed it.  Well, I forgot I changed it until I finally had the ringer on today.  Sitting at my desk.  All of a sudden I hear "bbbbbbbpppptt" (electronic fart noise).  Scared the shit out of me (no pun intended).  Def made me laugh.  Reminds me of Peter, and when I asked him "why are farts so funny?".  His response, "because it comes from your butt, and you can't see it."  

*Currently, my back/abdomen is still aching, and I'm thinking some hot tub time and stretching is def in my future.  Despite my current slight discomfort, I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all.  Its going to be a great week!  Hope ya'll had a great weekend.  Halloween is around the corner.  Can't wait!!!!
