Network, Network, NETWORK!
I love networking because I love people- most of the time and I LOVE what I do so it's easy to talk about it. Not many people know what a Virtual Admin does. And well I love talking about it. See every time you get out and connect with others you learn something. You learn something from
Them and YOURSELF. I am a sub for BNI Group in Darien. I can't believe what an amazing group of people they are plus how much their services has helped people I know. Now
I haven't joined because my schedule has conflicts with when they meet BUT doesn't mean it isn't worth it. It so is! Get out and NETWORK!
BBQ Ribs Grilled Cheese: Comfort Food At It's Best
What do you get when you take ribs, coleslaw and pickles and make a grill cheese out of it-HEAVEN! Ok ok sometimes I wonder how I ever will get skinny when I come
up with these type of meals but really it's absolutely delicious and a perfect way to turn your leftovers into something magical! Try it, trust me, no regrets!

Mom Sick Day...What Sick Day!
I was doing so well. I worked out twice already and even ran and then bam...I couldn't swallow. This happened three weeks ago and this time it was even worse. Now I am not whinny or a baby when I am sick except for this time. It hurt to swallow my spit. And well being a mom and being sick is absolute hell. Every time I sat down the kids needed something. I was convinced I was dying. I know sounds dramatic but it was awful. So now on day three on antibiotics and feeling much better. I still worked everyday. Still made dinner every night. Packed lunches did it all. Just felt miserable throughout the whole process.

Friday Night Fun...Bday Fun in Sono
It's not easy getting a group of Moms together especially on a Friday night. So for those who snuck out they treated me to a birthday dinner and drinks in Sono. Now I love Sono but a lot has changed down there. It's also funny being in late thirties and seeing the early twenty something out. But drinking in Sono has changed. Now we enjoy going there for late night dinner and drinks by a fire pit make our nights complete.
We started at Hell or Highwater Brewpub. Great to get a sampler for $6. We ordered hush puppies, fried artichokes, tacos- delicious. And then burgers and grilled octopus. Fun vibe. Relaxing. Next stop Harlan Publick. I love this place- always a great time. We drank Drunken Palmers and spent hours by the fire pit. It's perfect their outdoor area because the inside bar gets packed. It's nice to break free, yet still be part of the bar scene while listening to music and enjoying the warmth and comfort of a fire.
Although our whole mommy crew wasn't there it definitely was a night filled with laughs and great chats. I am super blessed to have these gals in my life.

Running & Donuts ...Why Not?
Last night when I was leaving my daughter asked if I could bring them home dessert. They were ready for bed by time I got back so I couldn't show her the munchkins I grabbed for her from Donut Crazy in Westport. So this morning I get ready to go to the gym to run and she spots the container on my counter. "Mom what's that" she asked. Ugh just a little bit of heaven in a cup I thought. I opened them and probably ate more than her. Delicious and I believe only $2.99 for 12. Yeah I know I had to run faster today just to justify eating donuts while in my workout clothes!
Amazing Flowers Trader Joe's in Darien CT
I am a huge fan of Trader Joe's- I am sure you can tell already. I went in to get flowers for my daughter's teacher since it was Teacher Appreciate week. I saw these and then the price and was sold. I even called my mommy friends and picked some up for them. Ok so now I am sure you're wondering how much...can you guess? Nope lower, lower...give up? $3.99!!!
BarTaco Westport...Happy Cinco De Mayo
Friday nights are my nights and most of them I spend with my sisters since we didn't get together for my birthday we decided to celebrate on Cinco De Mayo. We arrived at Bar Taco in Westport early enough to only wait 15 minutes for a table. Their happy hour drink prizes were amazing the blood orange special tastes like a margarita infused with blood orange juice. Amazing.
What I love about this place is you can order a lot for a great price. Tacos are so fresh and delicious- love the seasame beef one and fish. I am a huge fan of their grilled corn and cucumber salad. All these dishes range from $2.5-$4.00. You can't beat it. Their plantains were so good we ordered a second round. The guacamole has a slight kick to it. We tried their pork tamales for the first time and I highly recommend them, so tastey and stuffed with goodness. Of course we ended the meal with their four cone dessert. Mint chocolate chip went perfect.

I Chickened Out and It Was Worth It!
So I moved my appointment yesterday. I totally chickened out. I kept thinking what if my cancer screening came out bad? I would hate to hear it on my birthday so I moved it. I moved it to today and it was negative, normal, perfect and my meds are too high now so means my working out is helping. Says I am down 4 lbs I have to go back in 8 weeks but super pumped, happy, releived.
