I just love four day weekends. Can't get enough of them. Wish we had one a month.
I had a visitor! My cousin D came in Weds night and left Sunday morning. Now, he's used to always being busy. He goes out a lot, is always doing something. While I am...not.
So Thursday was a bit slow for his taste. We went out for brunch at the Egg & I, a place that is right across from apartment but I had never been too. And it was pretty good. But I didn't have anything else for us to do until the Freedom Over Texas thing later that night. So we ended up going to Central Market and wandering around for a bit. I love that place. Then finally it was time for the Fourth of July festivities. There was a lot going on with A LOT of people. Food trucks, beach volleyball, a kids zone and one, or maybe three, concert stages.
Friday was a better day. More things to do. After a quick stop at Target, we went to look at my new apartment complex. Not too sure D liked the place, but he didn't hate it at least. Then it was time for lunch at my favorite Mexican spot - Chuy's. Yumm. Shopping was on the list too so, obviously, we had to go to the Galleria. And Nordstrom Rack. I spent more than I had planned on, but got some great deals. And then he cooked dinner for us - chicken stir fry. It was awesome. That night we met up with E at J. Blacks. Usually crowded on the weekends, it was almost a ghost town. I guess a lot of people went away for the holiday weekend.
Saturday was a good day for the pool. Boy was it hot. Something like 96 and felt like 105. D spent most of his time in the pool, while I was out trying to get a tan. We lasted about two hours before we needed to go inside and cool off. For his last night in town we had Houston Dynamo tickets. And they were playing the Philadelphia Union! The Union lost and it was still so hot outside, but it was a good time.
I dropped D off at the airport Sunday morning and had plans of spending the whole day on the couch. But after a call from E, we went grocery shopping together. Tried a new place - The Phoenicia. It could be a good place to go, but I was distracted by the rain in the bakery! Apparently there had been a fire in an apartment above the grocery so all of the water from the sprinklers and fire department burst through the ceiling and into the store. Craziness.
Now that I'm done with visitors until after my move, I think it's time to start packing up the apartment. Even though I have like seven weeks left. I usually put it off til the last minute but I want to be ready this time. And it'll give me something to do.
