After trying on just about every pair of jeans in the entire mall, I finally splurged on these babies when I slid them on and had a total jeangasm. My first ever $100 jeans and soooo worth it.
Saturday morning, of course, was the 30K run in arctic hell.
That night lilmeg and I along with some of our other wacky friends successfully pulled off the surprise of the century for our friend's 35th Birthday before she headed to Cozumel. There was screaming, there were tears, there were margaritas. It was epic.
On Sunday I passed up the rare opportunity to sleep-in in favour of hitting the gym and heading out to snap some photos of my training group on their long run. Coach likes to put together an enormous slide show at the end of clinic, so I was happy to chip in and snap some pics.
Don't they look happy to see me??
Tim Horton's was required...
And finally, Sunday evening was our main event for the long weekend - hubs and I hosted a "Winterrific Warm-Up" get-together. We spent the afternoon and evening hanging out with our family and friends, beating the February blues with lots of good food, wine and laughs.
This is my awesome family. <3
L-R: sister Emily, Mom (looks more like a sister, I know!),
sister April, me, brother James
with my handsome hubby:
and some of our awesome friends...
We were lucky to have Monday off (Family Day) for some down-time after a busy weekend.
How was your weekend? I don't know about you, but I could really use an extra day (or two) off every week...

I could definitely use a four day weekend every weekend...now if only that didn't involve a pay cut...
A winterrific warmup party is a great idea! I might have to host one sometime soon.
My weekend involved a lot of studying- I'm taking a class and it is the first time I'll have to write an exam since I finished university in 2003...I'm a little freaked out.
Great pics!
We need family day every month...having yesterday off totally messed me up. But I don't care..4 day work weeks rule.
holy cow, your mom really does look like she could be your sister! wild!
i spent my weekend relaxing as much as possible. It was my first weekend with downtime in months. Glorious
fun fun fun!
and yay for new jeans. i need some too!
That food just made me so hungry! And are you wearing the jeans in those pictures? I think we need a full length shot of those!
Fun fun party! Ok am I weird or does it look like your bro is peeking out from under your dress? I sat here looking at the empty chair next to you going where's James? And then I realize you're not even wearing a dress....I'll stop now.
I LOVE Silvers! Those are my favorite jeans and they almost always fit right!
You crazy girl, you always make me smile! I totally need jeangasm jean - they look amazing!
Wow I've never heard of Family Day, but it sounds like a good day :) We have Presidents Day here. Your get together on Sunday night looks great- very important to beat the Feb. blues!
Love all the pictures!
Lucky you had yesterday off! I am taking Friday off! First day off since Christmas! Definitely needed! I still refuse to buy expensive jeans...maybe someday!

Sounds like a great weekend and what a fun party!
oh good jeans = totally worth it. i've been on that wagon for awhile and now can't get off of it. it's a problem. what a fun weekend, i believe the world would be a better place if we all had 4-day work weeks. sigh.
Looks like a great weekend! I bought two pairs of jeans yesterday and one was 50. NOw that looks great! Jealous of your terrific ones!

A four day week is a great proposal. More recreation, I say!

Great weekend. Looks like my idea of perfection!
Holy crap, Mom DOES look more like a sister! And I didn't even notice bro until I read your caption. lol
It was cold on Saturday...good job getting through that awesome run!!
Looks like a great weekend! I love shopping!!!
I need to see a better picture of you in the jeans. Get on it. ;o)
Sounds like a wonderful weekend!
A pair (or two) of pricey jeans are totally worth it!! I HATE jean-shopping, and when I find a good pair I snatch 'em so I don't have to do the process again for a while...haha. ugh.
What a FUN weekend you guys had!! Love all the pics :)
Silver jeans fit so well! I wish they weren't so expensive...
Sounds like a fabulous weekend! Thanks for posting pics!
What kind of crap do you 'nucks think you can pull? Family Day? WTF is that? You people need to get it together like us 'mericans. Our society and economy are so successful.
Jeans: I need a new pair. Or two. I'm too lazy to shop/try-on and I do not want to know what size I need. Last time I bought jeans was in college and I'm sure they have stretched with me...
i think every wknd should be a long wknd.
i hate shopping for jeans. HATE it! glad you found a pair you love.
Looks like a fun time! Great pics, family and food!
Oh, and are you wearing those $100 jeans right now? I would SLEEP in them if I paid that much - LOL! Good for you for treating yourself.
Winks & Smiles,
Wifey
