Mexican & Romantic Comedies

Hey gang!

How is your week going so far? This week is flying by in the best way possible. I have had an insane amount of energy this week which can’t be accounted for as I was exhausted when the weekend ended. I’m not sure if it’s the power of positive thought, healthy eating, strong workouts, or just a good mindset but I can’t help but smile this week.

I was up too late last night making travel plans as I’m heading back to the United States two times in the next 8 weeks. Cue the excitement but also a wee bit of overwhelming craziness as each of the trips are pretty quick. I’ll be in New York City for business March 9th through 13th and then I’ll be in Cincinnati in April to greet a new bundle of joy, Amy and Ryan’s son.

Long time readers may remember Amy and Ryan as a couple with whom we’ve traveled multiple times and they were also the first people to visit us in Geneva this summer. When they told us they were pregnant we promised to return the gesture by being the first friends to fly over and meet their new son. While Bo won’t be able to make the trip this time, I am so thrilled to have snagged an amazing deal on Delta.

While I’m going to be in New York for business, I am excited to fill my early morning and evening time with as many workouts and friend dates as possible! While I love Geneva I definitely miss the boutique fitness scene and am therefore going to spend every morning catching up with some of my favorite instructors at Barry’s Bootcamp, Soul Cycle, Uplift and hopefully try the new City Row!  When planning dinner dates I think things will pretty much revolve around Mexican as that is the one cuisine that I haven’t been able to enjoy in Geneva or London. I’m craving an Agave margarita and their guacamole like you’d never imagine!

Can you tell I’m a little bit excited to catch up with friends, food and workouts in New York? This will all have to occur between 5:30am-8am and 6pm-11pm so it is going to make for some very long days but is so worth it. I’m thankful that some of my work and projects require me to go to New York at least once a year as I so value the time while I’m there.

The rest of last night was spent watching one of my favorite movies, Notting Hill. Now that I am more familiar with London the movie was better than ever. Though I have to say, the amount of smoking in the movie amazed me. I forgot how normal it was for people to smoke in movies and in general fiftneen years ago.

I enjoyed Notting Hill so much that I went through iTunes to find other similar movies and ended up renting and downloading Bridget Jones’ Diary, You’ve Got Mail, My Best Friend’s Wedding, Pretty Woman, and The Holiday. While I love a good Academy Award contender such as Dallas Buyer’s Club I have a soft spot in my heart for romantic comedies.
