Leilah and Frye

Hello Everyone! 

We've got some exciting news! 

We adopted another kitty! Her name is Leilah and she is 9 weeks old.  We've been feeling bad lately for leaving Frye home alone all the time and thought it might be a good idea to get another kitten to keep him company and so far things seem to be going pretty good.

It has been so much fun to watch them get adjusted to each other and to see her "fight" with him.  She weighs all of one pound and is not afraid to get all up on Frye's face.  It is definitely one of the most amusing things I have seen.

If you're wondering why we picked the name Leilah, it is also a credit to Futurama.  If you don't know what that is, it is an adult cartoon show that Justin and I have been watching for a few years.  We ended up picking the name Frye for our orange kitty because the main character, Fry, has orange hair.

The name Leilah came from the other main character, Leela.  

Our kitty clearly does not look like the character, but there were only two girl names to choose from and Amy just was not an option.  However, I will say from what I can tell, our little Leilah has a similar personality type as Leela from the show.

So excited to see where things go from here!

Happy Tuesday Everyone! 

I am SO unbelievably sorry for my lack of posts for the last week.  Unfortunately, I have been under the weather and it has been really dragging me down.

On Monday of last week, Janna and I headed to the gym to start the last round of Tina's Best Body Bootcamp.  I was super excited to start this one because it looked like the most challenging of them all and I was certain that I could do it.  Unfortunately, my body had other ideas.  About half way through the workout, I started feeling very sick and faint.  So I ended up going home and not finishing the workout.

Unfortunately, after that incident I had difficulty breathing and felt very short of breath.  Because of this, I did not workout any more the rest of the week.  Fortunately, I had a doctor appointment on Friday already scheduled for a physical so I would have the chance to talk to my doctor about it then.

According to my doctor, there were two possibly reasons I would have this type of chest pain: Pneumonia or  Costochondrisis.  So she ordered a chest x-ray to make sure there was nothing in my lungs and they were alllll clear! So I just have to wait until the pain goes away and have no clue when that will be.

I have to be honest that I am starting to feel very defeated in this whole exercising process.  If I don't have shin splints, then I have a three day long charlie horse.  Once I get those fixed, I experience the Costochondrisis.  They do say bad things come in threes, so maybe I will see the end of my workout woes.

At the very least, I had a pretty darn good weekend!

Relaxing Saturday & Sunday

This weekend shaped up to be rather relaxing for Justin and I.  Considering we normally are busy almost every day of the week, it was nice to take it slow and enjoy some peace and quiet.

Saturday morning I got myself up around 9:00 to head to the gym for Zumba.  Out of all of the workouts that I do, Zumba is by far my favorite workout.  However, this week I was not feeling the class.  There is nothing more frustrating than not having enough room to move while you're working out.  I even went so far as to politely ask the ladies in front of me to move forward, but they did not seem to care.  So half way through the class, I left.  

Because of how busy we've been the past few weeks and me feeling under the weather, I've "missed" quite a few workouts, so I took advantage of leaving Zumba early and made up one round of Tina's Best Body Boot Camp and half of one of the runs that I missed.  

The Boot Camp workout focused mainly on arms and definitely was a killer.  I was shocked at how much stronger my arms are than when I started six weeks ago.  I am sad to say that we are on the fourth and final round of Boot Camp.  Luckily, there will be more and Janna and I can continue working hard!

Saturday evening, Justin and I headed out to dinner with my cousin, Liz, and her boyfriend, Richie.  We haven't seen them since Christmas, so it was very nice to catch up and get some time with them.  They're so goofy!

Justin was being camera shy that day and would only let me get one of the side of his face.  Grumpy pants.

Sunday we had planned on going out shopping in the morning, but we got lazy and decided to relax at home.  We started catching up on The Game of Thrones because we have not finished the first season yet.  

I spent the entire day working on a baby blanket for my friend's baby shower next weekend! I finished the first one, but still need to work on the second.
