Honeymoon in Thailand?

5/26/2011

5 Comments

 
We're not really planning a honeymoon in Thailand. I'll get to that title later. 

I cannot believe that my last day of work is tomorrow! I can't even fathom the next time I will be working in an office. Today was my last day of wearing "work" clothes, since the last Friday of every month is a casual day. I have a few fun things planned for the weekend, and then I jet back over the International Dateline on Monday morning. 

You want to know what the craziest thing is? I STILL haven't figured out if I'm going back to Australia. I don't think I'll figure it out for a few more weeks. You know what's even crazier, though? I'm at peace with that. I'm okay with the fact that I don't know where I'll be in two months. I'm excited about being surprised. It can go one way or the other. The important part is that no matter what I choose, I am on my way to an exciting career that will make me proud (and a lifetime with a wonderful man)!

It's just a matter of figuring out if I want the financial strain or a long time without my fiance. It's a tough choice, my friends. I explain it in more detail at the end of this post. 

Now, let's talk about food! These are things you have seen before. I ate lunch at my desk today since I left at 4 (hooray!). I had the same pumpkin minestrone soup that I ate yesterday. I would have had a baguette sandwich as well, but nobody put them in the fridge yesterday. They sat on the table all night long. Darn.

I later got a crazy chocolate craving, so I got into the charity chocolate box again.

Workout
Following the trend for this week, I had to drag my little feet to the gym after work. I just didn't feel like doing any physical activity. I finally decided on a workout that would get me out of the gym in 30 minutes. I found this elliptical interval workout on Tina's blog a few months ago. It makes me work so hard, and it's all over very fast. Here it is:

Minute:Resistance
0-5: 3
5-7: 8
7-8: 5
8-10: 8
10-11: 5
11-13: 10
13-14: 6
14-16: 10
16-17: 6
17-19: 4
19-20: 12
20-21:10
21-22: 4
22-23: 12
23-24: 10
24-25: 4
25-30: 3

Great workout! You can also cut out the cool down and repeat to make it longer. 

More food
I came home, showered and make a wee little bowl of gnocchi for dinner.

I had to hurry, because we had a 7:15 movie to catch. We saw "The Hangover II". I'll say this: if you liked the first one, you will like this one (maybe even more than the first). But keep in mind that it's rated R for a reason! 

One of my favorite parts about the movie was the scenery on the island in Thailand. I don't think we'll go there for our honeymoon, but it's gorgeous! We have a while to decide about that. Plus, I'm not sure if Thailand would be the same without a monkey. You would understand if you saw the movie. 

It's almost Friday!!!

Jen,

You have to ask your mom about the theater place that we took the entire Skycrest staff out to! OMG it was amazing, very swanky decor, SUPER comfy seats and amazing food and drinks! I can't wait to see a summer blockbuster there!
