Oh, Monday

I'm up early and was super hesitant to hop on the scale this morning because of the wonderful weekend I had. Friday night, J invited me to a work party at his parent's house. I know some people may find this odd, meeting the family a week after meeting the person, but I guess it's just a New Orleans thing. We LOVE family and it just comes with the package I guess of getting to know someone. Anyway, his parents were totes adorbs and I met two out of his three brothers and a cousin. Well, and a bunch of other people I didn't know but it wasn't all that relevant. I was a tad bit nervous, only because this was the third time we were actually hanging out and I had little butterflies swarming around in my stomach. But, all went well and he even kissed me and it was great. He dropped me off and stayed for a while so we talked and acted cute and all of those things that are making me giddy as I type this. Saturday, I basically just lounged around the house with my cousin and thankfully made it out for a 30 minute run around City Park which is 2 blocks from her house. It is so nice to be able to change up the scenery. I made plans later that night to hangout at a bar in the Warehouse District with some friends. J came to meet up and I ended up heading to another bar with him so that I could meet a few of his friends. I know things seem to be going a little quickly but I guess friends and families are just something we both like to share upfront. Anyway, I wasn't feeling the bar scene too much that night so we left around 1 am and made plans to watch the Saints game together on Sunday. This involved heading to the Northshore with him and two other friends to watch it at another friend's house. After the game we decided to go meet up with my very best friend and a few others at a bar where J's two friends were both interested in my best friend, Rikki. It was one of those things that one had all the personality and the other had the looks. Needless to say, if you combined the two it would've been her perfect guy. They both got her number (unknowingly of course) and I'm pretty sure they've both texted her. I'm rooting for the guy with the personality. I was extremely entertained listening to the two of them go back and forth. Oh, and the bar we at was LUCY'S. We were starving when we got there so I ate a few nachos (so not something I would ever consider ordering but I was with a bunch of boys and they were DELICIOUS) and half a burger with a few sweet potato fries...not to mention all of the alcohol I consumed that day. J dropped me off around 8:00 and I think I was asleep by 9. It was a long/fun/much needed weekend.

So, I got on the scale and I was down 2 pounds....what a relief and I will be busting my butt all week to keep myself in the 180's!!
