Weekend recap

I was pretty bad at blogging last week, I hope this is not a sign of things to come when I get busy at work in the next two months. But I will try to keep up as we head into the busy season.

It was another slow one. Just how I like them.

I was a little concerned about Saturday. I was going back to Visible Changes to get a hair cut. The place where they basically gave me a mullet the last time. But I went with a recommendation for a stylist this time and he was fantastic. As he had better be for $60. Paying that much for a cut to me defeats the point of going to a place like Visible Changes - big chain in the mall - but I got a cut that I am happy with this time and I had a gift card that paid for half the cut. (Sorry, no picture.)

Sunday I went back to the mall to pick up a pair of jeans that Nordstrom was hemming for me. And of course because I didn't try them on, or even really look at them, when I got home I noticed that they never did the alteration! Awesome.I did get a little Christmas shopping done while I was out though, so bonus points there.

Finally, on Sunday did I make my lunch for the week. It's been a while since I've done that and I needed to get back into it. Don't get me wrong, I love buying my lunch every day. But my wallet on the other hand thinks it's not a great idea. So I made a recipe that I found on pinterest for creamy tomato mac n cheese. It was super easy to make, if a little messy, and tastes really good. Obviously I had to try it. I'm absolutely certain its not healthy for me though. Oh well, can't win them all. 


Sunday night however, I got some bad news. My Uncle's gf, J, is a wonderful woman. They have been together for so long that she is a part of our family. J's mom has been sick for some time now, and was under in-home hospice care until last night when she passed away. She was such a sweet lady, and funny too. I'll miss her at the big family dinners and I wish I could be there for J right now.

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...
