Playing Catch Up...

Hello my Bloggy Lovies,

Sorry that I've been MIA.

Let's see...

This past week I was a total beach bum.

Sunday, we left about 6 am and headed to Myrtle Beach, SC. It was a long ride and we got a little restless about half way through. We finally arrived at the hotel about 2:30, checked in, and headed to our room. Forget the unpacking, we headed straight for the swim suits and went down to the beach. Since it was already later in the afternoon when we got there, we only spent about an hour on the beach and by the pool. We grabbed a quick dinner at Dairy Queen along with ice cream and headed back to the hotel. I think we were in bed before 10 that night... Hey it was vacation right? :)

Monday, was our first full day. It was super hot with a heat index of 108 by lunch, but hey we had our toes in the water and a$$ in the sand so we didn't really care! We spent the majority of the day laying on the beach and floating the lazy river. We finally headed back to the room and got ready. We decided on Olive Garden for dinner and boy was it yummy. Half way through dinner I discovered, I had way to much sun for the day. We made a quick trip to K Mart to pick up a few things and headed back to the hotel. We walked the beach that evening and it was so peaceful. We turned in pretty early that night too.

Tuesday, our second full day. I was totally miserable from an awful sunburn. I ended up wearing lounge clothes down to the beach and sitting under the umbrella for the first half of the day. It was scorching hot that day too so by lunch time I was ready to lay low in the room for the rest of the day. We got ready and headed to a Japanese grill in North Myrtle. Super yummy even though I was still pretty miserable. When we got back to the room, Tim, Jimmie, and Emily were about to head out to play putt putt and sweet Emily wanted me to tag along. Of course, I did. We had a nice breeze blowing the entire time so it wasn't too miserably hot. We ended up back at the hotel and in bed watching TV the rest of the evening.

Wednesday, our last full day. :( I was finally able to move around a little better. Emily and I stayed in the room until the pool opened at 9, while the rest of the bunch headed down to the beach. I wasn't quite sure if I was ready to hit the beach just yet. It gave us a little time to spend quality time together. That kid thinks I hung the moon and she's beyond sweet. We spent the first half of the day in the indoor pool and a few quick trips to the lazy river, but I was still being some what of a vampire. After we ate lunch, I decided that I would spend some time in the ocean. Considering it was our last day there, I was determined to enjoy it. We headed out to shop that afternoon and ate at Sticky Fingers. Great food and we all had a blast. We came back and packed up. We were all asleep before 9:30.

Thursday, it started early. We woke up around 4:30 and left the hotel around 5:45. Bitter sweet. Sad to leave, but happy to be coming home. We ate at IHOP and then we trucked on back home. Got stuck in traffic two miles from home... Wouldn't you know. Finally made it home around 3:30.

There's a review of vacation. I'll post about this weekend, tomorrow!

Weekend Re-Cap

Let's see...

My weekend consisted of lots of relaxing and just spending time doing things I wanted to do.

Friday, after I got done babysitting I headed home and got ready quickly, ran to the bank to deposit my check, and headed to El Mariachi to eat some dinner with two of my besties, Emily and Samantha. After that, I came home and Mom and I ended up going to Middlesboro. I had spotted some super cute shorts a few weeks ago in JC Penny's but thought I don't need those. I have no place to wear them to. Well soon after, I met my new addiction, Zumba. So I had an excuse to buy some. Super comfy and they're perfect for Zumba. We got home and I crashed. I was exhausted and had to wake up early.

Saturday morning, I headed to Zumba at 10. My first Saturday going and I was so glad I did. I seriously hate missing a class. After that I came home for a little while and tidied up the house and freshened up. Mom came home and we headed to Knoxville to have a Sushi date... My favorite! :) We ate at Shono's in the City and it was so yummy! We also stopped on the way home and got her car cleaned up. So we sat and chatted for about 45 minutes and we may or may not have been looking at the dudes washing it! ;) We headed home pretty early and just laid around.

I was up again early on Sunday for church. Dad and I attended church and then grabbed some Taco Bell for lunch. I headed to my bestest's house for her little sis's birthday party! We enjoyed chatting and just having fun! I decided to spend the night with her since Mom was working late and ended up waking up around 4:30 this morning... Terrible!!! I've been super sleepy all day. What can I say... There's no rest for the wicked!

Peace and Love,

Tabitha

Long Week

Let's see...

It's only Wednesday. I spent Monday and Tuesday just lounging around, catching up on laundry, and cleaning my bedroom.

Today was spent babysitting for my cousin. Whew, who knew that a 5 year old and a 17 month old could wear a girl out! I came home and crashed this afternoon. I finally cooked me some dinner and since then I've been sitting in bed, reading blogs, and watching HGTV. I plan to finish cleaning up a little, shower, and hit the bed. After all, 6:45 comes early during the Summer!

Tomorrow and Friday I will still be babysitting. I also have Zumba tomorrow at 6. Have I mentioned how much I love it? :)

Other than that, I think this weekend I'm going to stay pretty low key. No major plans so I think it'll be one of those stay in your pj's all weekend and rest. Sounds perfect to me.

Also, it super close to time for the beach! I am so ready to soak up some sun, swim, eat, and enjoy nightly walks on the beach. Sounds like a little slice of Heaven to me! :)

Can you say Zumba?

Good Afternoon Lovies,

I know I haven't updated in a week, but I've totally been a busy little bee.

I mentioned in my post last week, that I was going to my first Zumba class. I was super excited and nervous at the same time. You may ask why I was nervous, well for me to attend an exercise class was a HUGE step! I am very self conscious and don't like to work out in front of a lot of people.. Especially women that are fit! So that being said, I luckily talked my bff into going with me so it would make it a little easier. Let me tell you, I LOVED it! The instructors were so nice and made the class so much fun! I was super sore on Wednesday, but I missed not having it that day. Thursday rolled around and I couldn't wait for 6pm. I was counting down the time to go... EXERCISE! Never in my life did I think I would be so eager for a work out class. I planned on attending the Saturday morning class, but unfortunately I wasn't feeling well and skipped out. So you ask me where I may be at 6 tonight? That's right, I'll be getting my Zumba on! :)
