Here's what: February 20

Here's what three things I'm obsessed with this week...

The Olympics are almost over, but there is still a lot more to go. Today is the women's hockey gold medal match between USA and Canada, the women's figure skating medals will be determined today, men's hockey medal matches will happen on Sunday and so much more. Yesterday, 2005 World 100m champion Lauryn Williams, who was part of the 4x100 at the London Olympics that won a gold medal in a world record time, won a silver medal in the women's bobsled.

I want to buy myself something shiny with part of my tax refund. I will be responsible with the rest of it, but just a bit, I want to get something fun. I'm looking at getting the stainless band to go with my Michele watch or a DY ring. (Sorry mom) One is more financially responsible than the other, but they're both pretty.

The twin gets in today! Amazingly enough, her work conference is at the Houston Convention Center this year. So she's coming in a day and a half early to spend time with me. It's like we actually like each other or something. We must be growing up. Just kidding. We will never grow up. But it will be nice to spend some time with and, of course, there will be a blowout at DryBar tomorrow bc she loves that place, brunch on Saturday and maybe a little car shopping. It looks like it's going to be a good weekend.

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...

Fabulous Run
