Solid weekend. And now this week is finals week for the kiddos, I’m looking forward to some quiet for a month until the academic cycle starts again in late June with new student orientation (but at least I’m not in charge of it anymore).

1. Do you guys remember the boy band 5ive? “Baby when the lights go out…” or “can I get your number baby, hit me with your seven digits”

2. I saw the new subway commerical for avocados and two ladies competing about who loves avocados more. That could SO be me and also I want an avoCARdo so bad now!

3. Of COURSE, yesterday my first day going gluten free, I went to an alumni dinner event at a mexican place and my table literally ate 4 baskets of chips and salsa. I did not have a single chip and ordered a salad with chicken and avocado. I also didn’t drink. I’m pretty proud of my self control.

4. Hot damn I’m sore as hell from level 2 of insanity and yesterday was just the first day. These next 4 weeks are going to either make me or break me!

5. And last, but certainly not least, this weekend will be my 5th year running the Race for Hope DC. It was my first 5K ever. My first race ever. It started my love affair with running. It doesn’t hurt that I also get to hang out with my main squeeze David Cook (of American Idol fame) whose charity team I run with. He’s doing an acoustic storytellers type concert for the team tomorrow. This weekend is always special for me and I’m excited it’s here!
