Happy girl

What a WEEKEND!

Obviously, the good thing that happened yesterday was the fact that my COWBOYS got their first playoff win in 13 years last night, and it was so exciting! Chris & I just ordered some wings and settled in to watch the game at home. It was scary at the beginning and I was afraid it was just going to be another wasted season, but we came out and won! There was definitely a lot of excitement in the King household last night, and it was also a lot of fun to text Anthony back and forth; it was the first playoff game of his lifetime! :)

Another good thing from yesterday was getting to sleep in (ahhhhh) and just recharge my batteries from last week's long hours and stress. I did have to go in for about 4.5 hours yesterday, but hopefully that makes for a normal (ha) 40-hour workweek this week. When I got home at 4:30, there was still too much time left until the game and I was antsy, so I bundled up, grabbed my iPod, and went for a quick run. It's really exciting to me how fast my endurance is building - both in leg strength and in breathing control. I felt really proud of myself that I went out and got a 2-mile run in when it was 12* outside :) On nikeplus.com, I've challenged myself to run 30 miles by 1/30, and I have about 22 to go....which isn't bad considering how much I worked last week!

Tomorrow brings another Monday and probably more snow, but hopefully this week will be smoother than last week. After working 4 days in 2 weeks, a 5-day workweek was hard enough without snow everyday AND fiscal year-end. We've all had a week to get back into it and this week should go a little smoother. I hope.

There isn't much point to this entry except for my concentration of looking for the good and happy things in life. They weren't hard to find this weekend!

PS - one last good thing from the weekend - we are going on vacation with Chris' family the first week of August this year to celebrate his mom's 50th birthday and his stepdad's 40th birthday - and they booked the house yesterday! It's a gorgeous, 5-bedroom house, right on the beach in Kill Devil Hills, NC (Outer Banks). A real vacation - can't come soon enough!
