New Favorite Band, Work Hell, It's The Freaking Weekend

Yes - i'm alive! Barely. Here is what I've been up to. FML

Tuesday: Work, walk 4 miles during lunch whilst reading, worked late until 7 p.m. Got home. Worked more. AWFUL DAY. Too much to do and not enough time to do it.

Wednesday: Work... work through lunch... leave at 5 p.m. and do shower stuff: made 40 cupcake flags, picked up shower photos at Walgreen's, mounted pictures, rolled silverware, made silverware bands, tied ribbons around bands, made signs for food, set up dining room and gift table, etc, got all groceries for shower recipes. Got back to work at 11 p.m. and worked until 2 a.m. FML. Yes, no workouts.

Thursday: Get to work event. Get on uniform and headset. Work event until 5:30. Have drinks at networking event. Network. Leave at 7:30 p.m. Get home at 8 p.m. Where is Austin? At a bar. Go to bar. Have a couple more drinks - why not - i'm clearly not going to sleep this week may as well have a buzz? Get to bed at midnight. Yes, no workouts. You want a picture of me in my Brittany Spears Mic?

One wonderful thing came out of the day, well two: One: the CEO said my name at the annual event. That was really cool. I was like um, did he just recognize my work? SWEET! Two: The talent hired for the event was Straight No Chaser. Ever heard of them? I hadn't. But now i'm in love:

Basically they're a 10-person a capallea group that does AWESOME remakes of songs and fabulous mash ups like Poison with Billy Joel. It's hilarious, amazing and their performance at our event was AWESOME. Check it out - and note that it's AMAZING in person (this is like taken with a handheld) and note that there are NO MUSICAL instruments - they are making the sounds with their voices - LOVE IT.

How's that for a nutshell? I swear the last few days have been a whirlwind - I want to die! But it's all good because my work is (mostly) done and the shower prep is (mostly) done and I can't wait to celebrate baby Dane! And truly, my job is NEVER this crazy. It's like all of my projects aligned and everything had MAJOR deliverables this week on top of my normal, tactical duties as well as the event and with a holiday on Monday it was INSANE. But it's cool. This week is over and I lived so YES.

Q: What do you do when your workouts just can't happen? I've been focused on eating as healthy as possible the last few days, and plan to workout on Saturday and Sunday (cardio Saturday and weights Sunday) to get back on track.

Q: Have you ever heard of Straight No Chaser? I'm officially obsessed with them - wonderful entertainment!
