Long weekend re-cap:

Rewind back to Thursday evening, our event was a HUGE success!!!We went 2 for 2 last week. The event was a documentary about the Rutgers University's women's basketball coach and team. One of the players was there, she is now a female wrestler for the WWE . Her wrestling name is Shanequa. Talk about strong, smart and bold! The girls were so thrilled to meet her and I have to say I was as well. I was so jazzed by the success of the week, that I had a real hard time falling asleep.

Friday

Woke up exhausted and decided to take a personal day. Slept in till about noon and then Issame made me a fantastic lunch of Moroccan salmon. Goodness gracious! I gobbled that dish right up. We had a lot of fun just hanging out and relaxing in the apartment. Then in the evening, for a change I went out to the city with my friend and Issame stayed in Brooklyn just hanging with the guys. We ate at this Indian restaurant in the East Village. Great food! Once again I stuffed myself silly! Got home rather late but it was a blast to get dressed up and go out.

Saturday

Gorgeous day outside!! Opened up all the windows and let the sun and warm air come inside. Got Issame to shake his booty and get outside before 3pm. We walked all around our beautiful neighborhood . We walked the entire Marina, then over to the Community College campus, then over to the beach, back to the Marina and over to our favorite Turkish restaurant where we once again strapped on our gluttonous bibs and ate the most delicious food.

What was so funny was that Issame was going out to dinner with the guys later that evening. He was so stuffed that I didn't think he was going to make it.

Sunday morning rolled around...
I had to head to the gym for an hour workout on the treadmill , after all that great food I had to attempt to work some of it off. Spent the remainder of the day cleaning, lounging and catching up on some reading and research for my lecture on Wednesday. I am quite excited about that. I also spent about half an hour on the phone with my mom in Florida telling me all about the crazy little critters they have living on their property. What really cracks me up is that they have names for everything. Including the little gecko who use to live in the screened-in pool area. Poor Mr. Green Jeans passed away a few months ago, seems as if he thought it was okay to swim in chlorinated water. God bless!

Today, Manic Monday
I am excited! Got Issame & I tickets for Wednesday night to see Edwin McCain at B.B. King's restaurant on 42nd Street. Edwin McCain signs our song "I Could Not Ask For More". Will be alot of fun to see him sing it live.

" All you need is love."
