Happy Friday

Yay! It's Friday. One of my three favorite days of the week.

Except. Except I have a feeling I am about to start losing my weekends. I already lose a big chunk of Saturday to my long runs...bc I'm a useless lump for several hours after it's over. But now I think is the time that I will start working on the weekends. Oh goodie.

There's just so much work piling up and I work so much more efficiently sitting at home watching tv. Weird, I know. But it is so true. I can pump out a one-page article in 30 mins, sitting at home watching a Scandal rerun. But when I try to do it in the office, it just takes a little, ok a lot, longer.

But with the new apartment setup (home tour coming soon), I can't really work from my dining room table any more. I mean I could, but it's further away from the tv. So I stopped by ikea at lunch the other day and picked up a desk. White with pink legs. For $22.

The list of things I want to work on this weekend is ridiculous. Media guide, mobile app content, an interview for next week, staff bios. And I still want to work on my tan for Fran & Steph's wedding next weekend. And run 11 miles Saturday morning. It should be interesting to see how much I accomplish. Maybe saying it out loud here will force me to get it done.

But first. First I need to make it look pretty. I know, I know. Not a necessity. But still. Love the ideas below.

I love this with the gold accents. And the MAC. I want one.

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...

Rock n Roll Dallas recap

We arrived in late Dallas Friday afternoon. When we had left Houston, it was a balmy 87 and four hours later when we stepped out of the car in Dallas is was 53! Talk about a temperature drop. Saturday we went over to expo to get registered and pick up our bibs. The expo was pretty cool, lots to look at, but it took a hot minute to figure out how to get out of there which maybe was the point. By the time we went to dinner on Saturday everybody was a little concerned about the weather for Sunday's race.  They were saying it was supposed to be about 41 at the start with winds at 25-30 miles per hour and gusting to 45mph! E and A wanted to wear long sleeves while K was still talking about running in a singlet. I was on the fence. I didn't have any throw away clothes with me so if I wore a long sleeve top I would have to keep it on the whole time. In the end I stuck with my normal short sleeves and gloves. Sleep Saturday night was fitful and by the time the alarm went off I w...

Foodie recap

I love to cook. And I love to cook for other people. I may not stray too far on my menu, ok people have said I cook way too much salmon, but at least I mix up the recipes some times? All right, so I probably eat salmon 3-5 nights a week and when I'm not eating salmon I'm eating Mexican. This is Texas. But I should branch out every once in a while. I need some new dishes. Who has suggestions? Everyone once in a while, we make filets...but that can get expensive so it's usually only on special occasions - like holidays...or if it goes on sale. I've made scallops before, so good, but also expensive. I also want to stay relatively healthy. It's ok to go off the reservation and eat what I want once in a while, but I should not be doing it as much as I have been lately. Sooo...here's what I've been eating lately... Chicken fajitas I feel like there must be a veggie missing from this plate... Chicken fajitas take two Happy Mother...
