Weekend recap

Why do the weekends always feel so short to me? It was a good one, even if I didn't do very much.

Friday night. I was just going to go home and lay around as we had a long run scheduled for 6:15am Saturday. But. But it hadn't been a great day. So after I got home and sat around for a bit, I decided it was time to go shopping. Now, originally I was going to post pictures of everything I buy and tell you what it all is. And then sense kicked in. The only reason I am going shopping is bc somebody broke into my place. So maybe its not such a good idea to flaunt these things. Suffice it to say, I went to the Galleria and had quite a good time.

Saturday's alarm came way too soon. So I dragged myself out of bed and drove to the park. It amazes me how crowded this place is at 6am. The sun wasn't even up. E and I are still running with the 5 hour group. But this was probably the last time for that. We kept speeding up just to get away from them. I'm not going to say the 8 mile run was easy, but we did ok. Although every time we looked at our watches, it said we were running 10:45ish pace and when we finished it said we averaged 11:30. Wtf. Either way, we need to speed up. So prob going with the 4:30 group next time.

Then came the best part about Saturday morning runs. They are followed by breakfast. Tacos this time. it started to pour just as we were getting ready to leave, so we sat out front and chatted for a while. Thank goodness the sun was coming out by the time I got home. I just wanted to nap by the pool in the afternoon. Stupid me, I didn't put on an ounce of sunblock. That was a mistake. My resulting sunburn was quite uncomfortable for the rest of the weekend.

I slept in Sunday before heading out to do a little more shopping. I needed to replace my stolen sunglasses and I was looking for a lbd to wear for something Deb and I are going to do while she is here. I had been looking after one at Anthro for months. Well, I finally went back and tried it on and it did not look good. So back to the drawing board. If anyone knows where I can get a great little black dress with cap sleeves, please let me know!
Tried out a new burger place while shopping on Sunday. Not too bad.

I got home just in time to see Serena play in the women's final at the U.S. Open. What a match.

If only the weekend had lasted one more day. Oh well. 11 DAYS UNTIL DEB GETS HERE!

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.
