Da Bears!

I meant to write this blog yesterday, but I was way too tired!

Of course I woke up at 3am yesterday because I can't seem to sleep at normal times anymore. I tried many times to go back to sleep, but I had to get up at 10am anyways, so I just gave up.

We all have to do this "Service Excellence" training at my work, so myself and all of "the girls" decided to sign up for the same day, that way it wouldn't be too boring:)

Throughout the day we discovered many reasons why day shift sucks, and night shift rocks. The first being parking! What a disaster! Luckily though, we somehow managed to get a spot. Yay!

We got to the class, blah blah blah, and then it was over lol. Sorry, I don't really feel like explaining it. It wasn't that exciting. But it also wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

I guess to keep people "occupied" AKA awake, they put a few "toys" at each table. Slinky's, squishy ball thingies, sticky ball things that are supposed to stick to glass when you throw them at it, which Allison found out does not always work!

We weren't allowed to take any of the toys with us, but we accidentally ended up with a little plastic frog. I have no idea how...

After the class we went to get Sushi by Erica's house in Arlington, VA. It really wasn't that far from Children's, but the traffic was terrible! So it took us a little while. I didn't mind the sight seeing though:)

We went to a place called "Cafe Asia"
It was delish! Even though Erica got my hopes up and said she was positive they had Boston rolls, they did not:( lol! But it's ok, I really didn't mind! Love ya Erica:)

Besides, we were able to order a shrimp tempura roll, without the tempura and it tasted really similar!

We had a feast! It was great. Some of the rolls we got were...
Maryland roll, Chesapeake roll, Dynamite roll, Fresh Crab roll, Tuna roll, Cafe Asia roll, Shrimp Tempura roll, as well as Shrimp Dumplings, Tempura Vegetables, Summer Rolls, Miso soup, and Chicken Lo Mein! Yeah, we ate a lot. But it was so yummy!

Towards the end of the meal the plastic frog had somehow made it's way onto our plate. We don't really know how. But we do know that it took Darla about 10 minutes to realize there was a frog in our Sushi.

We decided to put the frog into one of the rolls (the one with the lettuce sticking out) and see if the waiter noticed.

When he came to collect the plates, Darla goes "Omg! There's a frog in our food!"
To which the waiter replied "Did you put that there?" LOL!! Darla said "No way!" and we all just burst out laughing!!

He took the plates away and showed all the other waiters that he passed by lol! What a great time!:)

We honestly didn't mean to make it blonde's on one side, and brunettes on the other!

It just sucks that we all have alien eyes! Oh well, still a cute picture!:)

On the way home, we experienced another reason why working day shift would suck... traffic! Wow, it was bad! I would hate to drive home in that every day!!

I was so tired from being up since 3am that I passed out on the ride home lol. I got back to my house fine though. I felt guilty about the Sushi feast, so I decided to go on the treadmill for a quick walk/jog. Only 10 minutes (1/2 mile) lol. After that I tried to watch some TV with Charlie but immediately passed out:(

He woke me up around midnight and we went downstairs to go to bed. I fell asleep fast, but Charlie had slept all day, so he couldn't sleep at all! He decided at 1am to go shopping at the 24 hour wal-mart by our house lol.

By 5am he still wasn't asleep. I woke up and we talked for a little bit and watched some TV, then finally we both fell back asleep:)

Unfortunately, I woke back up at 8am and have not been back to sleep since. I have to work tonight, so hopefully I can catch a quick nap before work.

So far I've eaten some breakfast today and did some crunches. I got a (free) app on my phone called "Daily Ab Workout" It's pretty cool. It just shows you a video of 10 different ab workouts and counts down 30 seconds of each. Honestly, I couldn't do all of them. Some were really tough. But I just wanted to try something new:)

I have to do my Couch 2 5 K before work today, and then tomorrow is the big day! Weigh in! Ugh... I'm not really looking forward to it because I don't think I've lost anything this week. I was pretty bad! But we'll see...

Thanks for reading!:)
