Weekend recap

I'm not even sure why I do weekend recaps anymore. I almost never do anything exciting and this weekend was no exception.



I finished reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and started and finished The Girl Who Played with Fire. I can't even remember if I did anything else on Friday which probably means I did nothing.

Saturday I wanted to get my errands out of the way before I started working. So I went for a run and did a quick workout before heading over to My Fit Foods to pick up a few meals. I did really well this weekend, food-wise. No soda, lots of water and no processed food. For the rest of the day I alternated between reading and working. And was quite productive.

Sunday was more of the same. I got up and ran and did the same workout again. Then I ran over to Gap and was more than a little disappointed with what I heard was supposed to be an amazing sale. But I did get three sweaters for a pretty good deal.

My next stop was AT&T. Oh AT&T. You are really getting on my nerves. It's been five or six weeks and I still haven't been able to replace my iPhone since it was stolen right out of my hand. Yes, I should have had insurance, but I didn't. Last week customer service told me that I should go into the store, but the new iPhone on a new line, put that line to sleep and put the new phone on my old line and this would only cost me an additional $9.99 a month. I was more than a little skeptical since no one had been able to offer me this deal before. But I went in anyway. The salesman listened to my story, checked my account and said well, yes you could add a line and the cost for that line would be $9.99/month, but you're whole plan would also have to change and your overall voice plan would go up $30/month. FAIL.

After a quick stop at Target, I spent the rest of the day working and reading again. So. much. fun. Oh well, at least it's a three-day week.

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...
