Road trip?

It's no secret that I want to travel. For work, for fun, any reason to go somewhere new. And it's been a hot minute since I've been anywhere. And now E is telling me she wants to take a trip. To Europe.

Now, obviously, I am interested. But maybe we should start smaller. I still haven't been to New Orleans. Or San Antonio. So maybe I will start off with a road trip. And try to convince her to go with me.



If I am going to take a road trip, there are some tips to keep in mind.
  • Start early or leave late - Besides avoiding major traffic, it can also be kind of exciting to get on the road before the sun rises or after it sets. 
  • Fill her up - Make sure the gas tank is full before you set out on the trip.
  • Pack snacks - Fill a cooler with veggie sticks, hard-boiled eggs, peanut butter, crackers, and other healthy snacks. Packing snacks is the best way to maintain your bikini body when there’s nothing but fast food for miles.
  •  Plan for spontaneous stops - Be sure to allow enough time for stopping at that cute little roadside diner or kitschy tourist attraction. Take the scenic route and embrace unexpected detours. Road trips are as much about the excursion as they are about the destination.
  •  Don't forget your SPF and sunnies - If you are road tripping in the sunny months, keep in mind that it is possible to get sunburnt through the car windows.

Here's what: August 15

Here's what three things I'm obsessed with this week... If you haven't seen this photo of Usain Bolt winning the men's 100m at the IAAF World Championships, you might be living under a rock. There are five sessions, and some pretty good events, left to go at Worlds. And Team USA is currently sitting atop the medal table with a total of 10 medals - 4 gold, 5 silver and 1 bronze. So...I joined a local running club. And I signed up for the marathon training program! Not that I'm signed up for an actual marathon or anything. This particular training group is training for my race, so I can't exactly run that. There are weekly track sessions and long runs are on Saturdays. The program lasts for 22 weeks. Well but we've already missed two weeks bc of other commitments. E and I will be doing this together. We'll see how this goes.  Towards the end of September is something called Social Media Week. It is a leading media platform and worldwide event

Weekend

I love weekends. I wish they were longer...doesn't everybody? It was quite the lazy weekend too, being that it was so hot out. I ran Sunday...kind of. It was so hot, I hadn't had enough water, or food for that matter, so I cut my run short. And then we opted to eat out instead of cooking. I really need to cook this week. And maybe not drink. Except I have half a bottle of red left over from last night's Bachelorette finale fiesta with E.  Monday. Oh Monday. Cancelled my run once again when the car told me it was 102 outside. Can't wait to be able to run in the mornings. Last night was the Bachelorette season finale so E came over for dinner and some wine. I now love sweet potatoes and I may have had a little too much to drink. And then decided it was a good time to update my iOS on my iphone. I'm still trying to get my phone back to where it should be. It made me do a complete restore, then I couldn't restore from a current backup and when I was f

Insurance process

Ok, so who has ever had their place broken into? First I filed the police report. Then after I actually had a handle on what really was missing I amended the police report. I gathered all of the documentation I could find for the things that were missing - it's amazing how often I just throw away the receipts - and sent that along with an itemized list to the insurance company. Now what? How long will this take? The one guy I spoke to said that they have 15 days to process the claim, but that it usually gets done sooner. Will I hear from them in the meantime? I called my new apartment complex yesterday. I am supposed to be moving on August 31 but naturally I want to get out of here as soon as possible. They told me the current tenant moves out on the 19th and that they may be able to get me in that weekend - the 24th or 25th. They were going to check on a few things and let me know. That would be fantastic. I'm not necessarily afraid to be in my current apartment. But I
