weight lifting

Lamb and stuff

This past weekend was spectacular.

On Black Friday, I went to the gym bright and early to lift weights and saw my mom and aunt in the same shopping plaza–while they were doing their Christmas shopping. They gave me a ride to my car… except I couldn’t sit in the seat because the vehicle was filled with stuff. First world problems.

The only place I shopped on Black Friday was online!

I spent most of Friday working on a huge research paper on TLC (the TV channel). I have actually been enjoying writing the research paper. What a nerd.

Friday night, my family took our family from New York to a classic Pittsburgh restaurant, Primanti Bros., to celebrate my little cousin’s 11th birthday. I tried lamb for the first time and I really liked it!

Saturday was also spent with family. My mom, sister, aunt, cousin, and I all went to a craft fair at the local YMCA. Yay for Small Business Saturday! I purchased a candle and two hand-painted cards. 

I started off Sunday with church.

I saw Jimmy for the first time in a week. He went to New York to visit his family for Thanksgiving. It was really nice to hang out with him all day in between church services.

We painted Christmas ornaments together for some very special people!

They’re not done yet!

More on the ornaments in another post!

How was your weekend? 

Bible verse of the day: Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe. Hebrews 12:28

My life in 30 days, day 28

My life in 30 days, day 28 = A picture of something you are afraid of.

Let me first start off by saying that I cannot believe that today is day 28 out of 30, it seems like the time (well days to be exact) just flew by!

Now onto what I am afraid of. This is a deathly fear of mine. Probably my biggest fear.

I am VERY, very afraid of airplanes. I don’t like riding in them and I don’t like taking off, landing, or thinking about crashing. I hate it.

It makes me mad that I am afraid because I really do love traveling. Its not like I haven’t been in a plane before. A few bad experiences with turbulence and I am a big baby now :/. Any words of advice for me?!

Guess what!

I got a new swim suit 🙂 It’s Black & yellow for the Steelers. (On a side note, have you heard the song Black and Yellow by Wiz Khalifa? Better yet, watch the music video. Comical.)

Yeah, sometimes I lift … but I’m sure Becca could tear me up in the weight room. In fact she is training for a figure competition. You should check her out.. she isn’t eating desserts until August!

Oh yeah, I have also been keeping my New Years resolution of:

Walking Lola

I even walked her on this day, when the roads looked like this. Yeah I went to school that day too!

Sorry, it just makes me feel hard core 😉

I have a question for everyone:

As far as lasagna goes, what piece do you like? The middle piece, the sides, or the corner? This was a big debate with my family last night when I was like “I call the corner piece!” My parents were baffled. I like the corner because it is so crunchy 🙂
