wtf Houston

WTF is wrong with people? Seriously.

I left my apartment at like 9:30 last night to run to the store. And I made a right without paying attention. And got stuck at the train tracks. You never realize how many trains there are until you live next to tracks. So I pull up and wait. Bc you can't turn around, there's an island in the road and you're just stuck.

So I'm sitting there playing on my phone when my door opens?!?!? Some punk kid shoves a gun in my face, takes the phone right out of my hand and starts demanding stuff. I didn't have my purse on me, just my wallet. And it was like he didn't believe me. He pulled the slide (?) back on the gun, threatened me one more time and then took off.

That's when the shaking started. I got out of the car. Bc I'm an idiot. Then got back in and backed up the street and into my complex parking lot. There were two guys sitting out front who called the police for me bc by now I could barely speak. And then they let me use their phone to call home. I'm sure I scared my mom to death, she could barely understand me.

I didn't have to wait long for the police, they come real quick for armed robbery. I gave my statement and they said they were going to drive around looking for the guy.

I skyped with my family for a while as they tried to cancel my credit cards and everything for me. They were amazing. But of course I was supposed to be on a 6am flight to Chicago today. Now I'm sitting here waiting for the bank to open so I can get a temp debit card and trying to figure out what to do about a phone.

If you need me for the next few days, email and facebook are prob best option. Although being in Chicago I won't be tied to my computer like I usually am. And I don't have any credit cards to buy an ipad.

Seriously though. What did this kid actually get out of robbing me? I was driving a 10 year old Honda and he thought he would get a lot out of me? Nobody carries cash anymore. And within an hour I had canceled all my cards (that he hadn't used yet) and disabled my phone. He did get my brand new LV wallet. And I won't meet my deductible for this, so there's prob no replacing that. But come one. Is it really worth it?

    This is so crazy. I am glad that you are okay though. I can't even imagine how you are feeling. I will definitely say a prayer for safety, security and peace.

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...
