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.

15 days

As of yesterday, it has been 15 business days since I submitted my paperwork to State Farm for all of the things that were stolen from my apartment. They have never reached out to me, but I have called them three times. First, with questions before I submitted my paperwork (this was when they told me they had 15 days to accept or reject my claim but that it "never takes that long"), then to see if they needed my new address since I was moving soon and finally last week to get an update on my claim status (this was when they told me they were just waiting on the police report which they had requested on August 16 and it only takes 3 or 4 days). Maybe they put a note in your file every time you call and make you wait that much longer before they finish your claim.  I just want to replace what was taken from me. According to Texas law, there are deadlines for insurance companies to act after you’ve filed a claim. They must accept or reject my claim within 15 days after m

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

Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder?

The I can't believe it's been about seven months since the last time I posted a blog. Did you even notice I was gone? So much has happened in the time that I have been gone. I'm not sure I would be able to get the whole story out or even know where to start. The 2017 #HouMarathon, the twin's last chemo and radiation treatments, me accepting a new position with Susan G. Komen Houston, Aunt Sandy practically in remission, I lost Lola, I got Jewels, my second trip to Denver, my little sister's wedding...the list goes on and on. It's been a very rocky eight months. Personally, professionally, any way you want to look at. But I'm moving into a great place in my life right now and that's all I can ask for.  I was devastated just over a month ago when I lost Lola. She was having trouble breathing one night and by lunch the next day the vet had told me there was nothing they could do. Tumor in her left atrium. I  had to let her go that afternoon.
