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.

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
