Perspective.

Happy Oscar Day!   I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend - I, for one, am still frustrated as I fight a cold/flu (but it's slowly disappearing!), so I am uber excited to have something like the BIGGEST AWARDS SHOW EVER to look forward to.  Holla!
In the midst of the sneezing and aches and chills and general deathtastic feeling, I've tried to find the silver lining.  I mean, I was able to enjoy a Restaurant Week reservation before things got too bad.  I tried my best to smile and even dance at a staff party - and yes, I even wore a penguin on my head.  See below.

(Isn't my hubby the cutest?)
Yet, I've been incredibly frustrated that my running has been derailed.  Ugh.  When I am not running, I am cranky and irritable.  So in the midst of this, I've tried to find perspective.  What is this all trying to tell me? That sh*t happens?  That sometimes, we all need a break? I'm not sure, but when a friend sent me this (I am sorry to say that I do not know the source), I immediately changed my attitude.

So, here's to optimism.  To looking on the bright side.  To gaining perspective.  And, perhaps doing so without a stuffy nose:)
Before I sign off, a few things:
* The bloggity-blog is getting a make-over!  My friend Lisa designed the most incredibly perfect header for me (with, like, ZERO guidance and she NAILED IT!), and I am so excited to show you!  Look for it soon:)
* Lots of my "IRL" (that's "in real life") friends are blogging!  I would love it if you would check them out!
DANIELLE is a new homeowner and aspiring domestic goddess.  TRACY'S life is full of world adventures with her husband.  Seriously, I envy this lady!  LISA (my blog designer) is an incredibly talented graphic designer and all-around creative goddess.  And JILL just moved to Paris and is having the time of her life!  If you get a chance, please say hello!


I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!  What did you do???

    Yay, I will check out those blogs. I love reading my "irl" friends' blogs. And I hear you on perspective, but I still hope you feel better soon--no fun being sick. And I swear, half the people I know are sick right now! A kid threw up in my 5th period on Friday and I immediately closed my eyes and put my hands over my ears . . . so mean, ha.

    YAY for the Oscars! :) I am watching them right now as I type this. I looove the photo of you with a penguin on your head and with your hubby :) So glad you got to enjoy yourself before your cold got worse. I hope you get to feeling better soon darling girl! When I had a horrible flu a couple of weeks ago I absolutely hated not only how achy my body was, but the fact that it got my workout routine off track and I missed running - so I know your pain! Here's hoping you have a speedy recovery!

    Boo to being sick and I hope that you feel better really soon.

    That pic of you and your work friends with the penguin hat is the cutest. I also love the adorable pics of you and your hubby. So sweet!

    I saw that same pic/quote about a month ago and saved it. It’s something I need to remind myself more often.

    I'll have to check out your friends blogs!

    i know i am behind on reading your blog but i hope you are feeling better now. i've had a cold for over two weeks. things are looking up but i definitely sought perspective there especially having a cold while in vegas with my bestie.

    i love reading blogs from my IRL friends. i always learn something new even i i have just seen them hours before their latest post.

    i love your blog header so i am looking forward to seeing what comes next!

    vitamin c hugs to you!
