eight (8)

To my FAVORITE nephew Cole! 

I cannot believe it has been eight years since the first time we all got to hold you, you are the best boy an aunt could ever wish for, I hope you have the bestest birthday EVER!  

Love, Auntie Erin

Miss Mari, love her so!

Yesterday I was doing some serious Spring cleaning in my office at work, so much cleaning out of stuff my boss asked me today if I was getting ready to put in my two weeks notice, ha I WISH!  As I was cleaning out a cabinet I ran across my favorite edition of "Fit Pregnancy" magazine, if you follow me on instagram (recgirlem) you saw the first picture on there yesterday.  This is our little Mari girl as a wee one, oh such a sweet baby girl, that has turned into some serious sass!  Miss Mari and my sister where in the product guide and they got to demo a stroller, car seat, baby bath, toys and a camera.  There is nothing better then whipping open a magazine and showing off the cutest members of your family to friends.  And for those who are keeping track, yes, that magazine has been sitting in my office for FOUR years, I should probably think about cleaning out things more often!

Oh MY Goodness, she was such a cute baby!

Love her!

Just Keeping it Real!

I have had the worst eating habits EVER this week!  In the last five days I have eaten three In N Out cheeseburgers, pizza, ice cream, a bagel, bacon, goldfish and a cinnamon roll, not to mention my unhealthy Starbucks addiction and probably some other processed foods that I forgot about.  Wow, I can only imagine what every dietitian/medical professional might be thinking about this confession, thank goodness I am not keeping a food journal cause I would be considered a BIG FAT failure, but I am not going to lie, I enjoyed every bite of food that I ate, mmmmmm mmmmm good!

In N Out!

Cinnamon Roll, it probably added rolls to me!

My favorite, first time I have ever seen it at the store so of course I had to buy it.  It used to be you could only find it a an actual Ben & Jerry's store and there are none by me, so you see why it was important to purchase immediately!

Thankfully my DOCC family keeps me in check and I get to paddle three times a week with an amazing group of people, not to mention the swim test and 20 minute tread water test today!

The above video looks like this April 13, 2013 practice - Dana Point via the GPS watch, I have logged quite a few miles with it so far and I pretty happy with it so far.  

Hope you all had a great weekend, I was lucky enough to wrap mine up with laundry and housework!  :)

Boring!

The blog has been kind of quiet lately, it seems as if after a year of paddling I have finally figured out a good routine and stick to the same five things everyday otherwise nothing would get done.  I pretty much eat, sleep, work, walk the dog and paddle, occasionally I will clean the house, do laundry and grocery shop but in an effort to keep things moving along I do the same things day in and day out, hence there is not a whole lot to blog about! Weekends are free and clear for just about anything, but half the time I am so freaking tired that I tend to be lazy and just do the bare minimum.  Are you all still awake, from this snoozefest of a post???  Anyways, it is always exciting to see your name in lights and well.......mine was in black and white, but still exciting.  The OC Register wrote a nice article about our senior mobility program last week so I took a picture of it.  And, yep that is all I have got for tonight, goodnight!
