Race for the Cure and Movie Night!!

This weekend was a blast between Race for the Cure and movie night with my bff Kus.

Saturday morning the husband and I woke up early for Race for the Cure - we ran on my company's team. Tim's parents joined us, too, and I ran the 5K with his dad. It was a fun, easy run. When we were done, I felt like I could have run 3 more miles. Not surprising, since I'm now running 6-7 miles for my long runs :-)

I haven't done a public race in a long time, and I forgot how fun it is!! Everyone is all about the cause and super friendly. It was a first 5K for a girl who was running with us, and other racers were cheering her on and encouraging her to finish, which she did!!

Saturday night was movie night with Kus! We saw Bridesmaids, which I totally recommend. The characters were hilarious.

What did you do this weekend? Did anyone else Bridesmaids?

Birthday Weekend Continued

The birthday weekend has been a total blast. Today is my real birthday, but we celebrated all weekend.

My friends threw a little party for me on Saturday. Thanks girls :-)

On Sunday, Tim gave me my second birthday gift: a gift certificate to Mirbeau, my favorite spa.

I decided I want to use the gift certificate to get a couples massage with him and then go to dinner in their restaurant.

On Sunday, for mothers day, my mom and grandmother and dad came over for brunch. I made cake, mimosas, and we had tons of other food.

Love my mom :-)

Let the Birthday Weekend Begin!

My birthday is on Monday, so I am celebrating all weekend.

Tim is giving me one present every day. Today was the first:

The Social Network

I love this movie :-) I definitely recommend it if you haven't seen it yet. People have said that Mark Zuckerberg is made out to be a jerk in this movie. I don't think he is. He comes off as socially complex and ambitious, but not greedy or mean. I also don't think he is guilty of stealing anyone's idea. So much of business is getting there first and marketing your product well. He succeeded at that, the Winkelvii did not. If you've seen this movie, what do you think about the way they portrayed him?

Tim and I are also going to go shopping as part of my present. Hmmm what to buy...

In other news, I went running yesterday and got lost! I ended up running an extra mile, which would be no big deal, but I am not used to that much pavement running yet.

I did get to see some new neighborhoods though :-)

When you run in the morning, do you ever see kids walking to school and feel bad for them?

I would not go back to being a kid in school if you paid me. So, I always feel bad for them...

Okay, that's enough blogging for today because it's almost time to go shopping :-)

Blog Challenge: a Recent Purchase

My husband bought me this dress for Christmas- he has good taste :-) It's from BCBG. I absolutely love it!! I haven't worn it yet, because I haven't had the right occasion. I have a wedding in July to wear it to. I'm also thinking of wearing it this weekend for my birthday, but I would be super overdressed for the restaurant we are going to. Should I wear it anyway?

Birthday in the City

Drove down to NYC to celebrate my friend Heather's 25th bday. We had a blast!

We went out to dinner at Sambuca's, which is an Italian family style restaurant. We got a bunch of plates to share and heather had an awesome cake!

Yesterday I went to the spa, and I treated myself to a fun summer color: Hologram by China Glaze. I love their colors. Here's the China Glaze website.

What's your spring/summer nail polish color?

I haven't done the blog challenge in awhile, so here it is. I think we were on Day 15.

Blog Challenge Day 15: Something you don't leave the house without.

I am definitely one of those people who is glued to a cell phone. I have a blackberry, but I REALLY want the Droid 2.

I love how it has the touch screen, plus the full keyboard.

What do you always have with you when you leave the house?

Coming Soon: allisonKdesign

Coming soon! I love previews, don't you?

I have't decided if I'm sticking with this logo/banner or designing something new. I'll let you know :-)
