Fitness on the Go

Hi all!

How is your day going so far? Today was a great day, I ended up running 2 awesome miles on the treadmill, running some errands, and packing for a quick trip to visit the parentals.  Although I would have liked to run more miles, I am still recovering from being sick last week, so I didn’t want to push too hard.  Plus, I’m sore from Zumba last night. 🙂

I have a hard time finding the time to visit my parents, so I figured a nice mid-week trip was in order.  Both of my younger brothers still live at home, so it is really a fun time when we are all home together.

After a family dinner, my papadukes decided it was a good time to look up father daughter dance songs.  We narrowed it down to our two favorites (links are to YouTube):

My Little Girl by Tim McGraw

Daughters by John Mayer

I really liked I Loved Her First by Heartland, but I was major waterworks during it, and my dad liked the Tim McGraw one better.

Contribution from my brothers?  I’ve Done Everything for You by Rick Springfield.  If you don’t know it, check out the lyrics below.

“I’ve done everything for you
You’ve done nothing for me
I’ve done everything for you
You’ve done nothing for me”

Oh my brothers.. they are too funny. 🙂

Any father-daughter song ideas? We really had a hard time finding nice ones that weren’t too country, too old, etc.

Hope you have a great night!  By the way, my Lululemon post will be up soon- I had ordered from the website and have been waiting for the second part of my order to ship before posting about all the goods. 🙂

Busy Bees NYC

Hi all!

Sorry for not posting yesterday, it was a super busy day and I forgot to bring my computer to NYC.  Still getting the hang of blogging. 🙂

Yesterday morning we had a special mass to attend.  We do not regularly attend church (sorry God), but we are Catholic, and are getting married in our church, so we have been attempting to attend mass more often.  Yesterday was a special mass where engaged couples were being blessed, so we figured we had planned to attend.

After mass we headed home so someone could watch the big game…

…and someone else could paint their nails. 🙂

At halftime we both took a break to pack, change, and get ready to head to NYC.

quick packing/laundry = bags and laundry baskets all over our bed.

We were heading in so we could see the off Broadway show Avenue Q.  The last Broadway show we saw was a Wicked (which I am in love with), a few years ago, so we were really excited for this one.

We stayed at the Double Tree Hilton in Times Square, and we really liked it.  Doubletree is usually our hotel of choice when we travel.  Usually though, when we head to NYC, if I am in charge of booking, I find an awesome boutique hotel.  Dr. Os was in charge of this one. 🙂

First thing Dr. Os did upon entering the hotel room was put on football.  Boo.

After getting settled and taking tons of pictures, we finally headed to the show!

New coat! Had to put a picture in of me wearing it. 🙂 It was so warm, perfect for NYC brisk weather.

The show was hilarious, and our seats (which we had purchased on sale), ended up being in the second row.  It was really an awesome night.

Have you see any Broadway shows recently?  What is your favorite show? Wicked is still my favorite, but I had such  fun time last night.  It was a fun surprise for a Sunday night.
