Cinco de Mayo Fail

Well, as I mentioned yesterday, E and I were so excited about trying out a new Mexican restaurant that was just down the road. We went right at 5 and got there before there was a crowd. The first sign that it was going to be a disaster should have been when there was NO ONE in the restaurant and they asked if we had called ahead for reservations! We were like um, no, you just opened like two days ago and this place is HUGE, is a reservation really necessary? Then, after we said no, miraculously a table opened for us. Hmmm.....
Well, fast forward TWO HOURS LATER....we got our food. It was cold, gross and inedible. Seriously. I mean nothing is worse than bad Mexican food. It was the worst experience ever! I mean, I understand it was Cinco de Mayo, and we expected a wait. But not 2 hours (when we got there early with no one there) and getting cold food. I mean it was bad. So maybe we will try it one more time when it isn't a holiday, just to give it a fair chance. But if it is no good, then, I seriously doubt we will go back. It was THAT bad.

Now, on to other things. A friend of mine,Christen, from Montgomery has been pregnant with twin girls and she recently delivered them at 28 weeks. They are in NICU of course. She seems to be doing well, but the sweet baby girls could really use your prayers!

Happy Thursday! The weekend is almost here! Which means that fence building resumes tomorrow! Yay for my arm muscles! Hope you all have a happy Thursday and a great Friday!

Cinco de Mayo and sore abs

Happy 5th of May! A big day in Mexico and for Americans who need an excuse to eat Mexican food and wear Sombraoros. As silly as that is, that is my excuse for celebrating tonight. I mean who doesn't like an excuse to eat chips and salsa?? I am excited!

Well, as I told you all, E and I started running and have decided that this time next year we are going to be running a half marathon. Well, if you know me, you know I don't really do things in moderation, so not only have we decided to get up at 5 am to run, we are starting to do P90X in the afternoons. I decided to see what it was all about yesterday and did Ab Ripper X. I will tell you that I stayed in the Child's Pose for about 45 minutes after the 15 minute ab workout was over. It was insane. I can't imagine what the rest of the workout is going to be like. But I guess having a great body (ha) is going to pay off. We have also decided to follow the suggested calorie and diet plan, so it is going to be a huge life committment! We will see how it goes. We have about 8 weeks til the wedding, so maybe there will be some significant changes before that! We will see!

Anyway, hope you all have a happy Wednesday! I am going to go try and recover from my iron abs and a run this morning! You will probably find me in the floor in a fetal position. Have a great day!
