Weekend recap

Who doesn't love unexpected three day weekends? Although there was def work going on Saturday.

Friday morning I woke up to a message from my boss that the office was closed due to the "winter storm" that blew through Houston. No actual snow, but from what I hear the roads were pretty icy. I wouldn't know anything about that since I promptly went back to sleep and didn't emerge until almost lunch time. I did get some errands done in the afternoon. I am already planning for my Opening Ceremony party, bc you know, I'm crazy like that.

Saturday was warehouse work day. Doesn't that sound like fun? If you said no, you would be correct. It was still in the 30s Saturday morning so I put on two pairs of pants and two long sleeves with a hat and ran out the door. Once race weekend is over everything that has been shipped downtown gets loaded onto a truck and shipped back to the warehouse. So this weekend was set aside for clean up, to make sure everything gets put in the right spot and is organized and everything is accounted for. I was there for about six hours I think. At least they give us beer. And then we went to a bar, but all I really wanted to do was go home and take a nap.

We are all still so tired. But we powered through and went back out that night for drinks to a Mexican place. I eat so much Mexican now. It's so yummy.

What the heck did I do Sunday? Oh right, I made E go for a run. Five miles. Not too bad. But there's that pesky half marathon that's now less than three weeks away. Watch out. I can't remember what else I did. Oh yes, Crate and Barrel. Needed more glassware. And then I baked cookies. Even though E and I are doing a five day My Fit Foods challenge that we started today. But I need to stop eating so much junk. Now that the event is over and things are slowing back down, it's time to start cooking again and not eating all the junk food.


This week should be quiet. And it looks like we could have another non-snow day tomorrow. I can dream.

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...
