Ca-razy Week

Whew, readers. It has been one crazy week. Doesn't it always seem to get like this when you kick off spring/summer?

Last Friday I was able to fly into MN and spend a great night with Renee, Armand and the girls. Renee tried out a new guacamole recipe, and I made my homemade tacos. Amazingly delicious!

Saturday found me running around the Twin Cities - meeting the new ladies that Rita has hired at Premier Planning Services and doing a photo shoot with them, celebrating my cousin's 13th birthday (a surprise visit for me!), meeting up with my mom, bowling a 160 at Elsie's for Chad's grad school graduation, and finally a lobster tail dinner with Renee and Armand. Are you tired yet? And did you catch that bowling score!?!
On Sunday, my mom and I, along with Erin, Marsha, Quinton and Sinnea participated in the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure. I sadly had to put another name on my race sheet for people that have been touched by breast cancer. It is a high school classmate of mine that is currently fighting stage 3 cancer. I know she's going to be a survivor, but what a difficult hurdle in life. My mom and I discussed, and over the last 9 years, we have walked in 8 of the races. We really like that tradition for Mother's Day.
I got home Sunday evening and tried to relax before a ridiculous week. Monday evening was spent celebrating a friend's new job. Tuesday night I flew out to NYC to attend an all day conference on Wednesday. I flew back to Chicago Wed night; however, my flight was delayed until midnight, which meant I wasn't in my bed until after 2am on Thursday morning. I had to get into the office on Thursday morning, as I had an 8:30am call; but then I get in and the call was cancelled. Grrrrr. Thursday night I attended a wedding industry event and then had an out of town friend stay the night. (She's moving to Chicago in June and is having a hard time finding a place to rent that will accept her large dog. Sad.)

Thankfully on Friday I was able to work from home. But I then had 3 wedding rehearsals to coordinate at my Church that evening before I drove to Indianapolis. At least my time in Indy was relaxing and I was finally feeling like my normal self by Sunday.

This week is already looking more sane. That's a good thing!
