010709 – 040709 : catch up post

So apparently I forgot about this again being back in DC and sans a lot of down time on my laptop.

July 1:
rest day – fixed fence and prepped for bachelorette party
zone- probably solid
sleep – probably awesome

July 2:
forced rest day – had to go into the bank to photograph structural problems and find them an engineer to deal with it. hosted bachelorette party on my parent’s back porch (which rocks my socks off)
food – surprisingly good, given the day. made a full grill out zone meal for 8 girls (chicken, sweet potatoes and zucchini, guacamole, and salad) and then a zone-ish chocolate fondue (coconut milk based with unsweetened chocolate, agave nectar, and whipping cream… we licked the pot after) with apples, orange slices, strawberries, bananas, and brazil nuts. Drinks were paleo-garitas (mostly tequila… win) or champagne (apparently not everyone likes straight tequila and lime juice). Good times, all were happy with their unbeknownst zone meal.
sleep – decent

July 3:
WOD:
Karen – 150 wall balls
6:10
only had a 5# ball, which hardly counted but still went in and did this pre church decorating. Used a 12′ target to make up for the light weight ball.
Zone – eh. did ok with the mexican for lunch, and then did barbecue and coleslaw at the rehersal dinner. Far too much beer that night to make this one ok though.
Sleep – about 5 hours

July 4:
rest day – wedding. mostly keeping the bride sane and trying to stay in my dress (thank you 10# weight gain while at home…). as a bridesmaid I tend to not so much care what I’m wearing, what they do with my hair. This ended up meaning I had fairly large 50s beehive hair and a purple chiffon dress that was made for my measurements in Nov. and not tried on until the day of the wedding. Oops. The other bridesmaids were… shall we say “less curvy” and so it was an interesting pick for me to wear in front of a crowd too conservative to serve alcohol, much less dance at the reception. Best comment was my brother in law after asking if I made a lot of money on the cover they must be charging at the door. Awesome. As soon as the reception duties were done, I ditched out with my sister and went to find beer and fireworks. Sat on the back porch with the first watching 3″ of rain fall in about an hour. One more dose of brisket and then it was time to pack up to come home.
Zone – um, wedding cake, beer, and brisket. lets call today a loss.
Sleep – 4 hours

linebacker much... love the beehive best.
