Lately 5.7.14


I feel like I haven't been around much lately, and clearly from the lack of posts my blog agrees with me. I haven't been crazy busy...but I have been busy actually having a life. Weird, right?

So what have I been doing lately?
  • Well, last Friday was one of my Friday's off and I spent over three hours by the pool. I love me some sun. 
  • Saturday was E's birthday. I picked her up early and we got blow outs, not at Drybar though, they were booked. Some other place called Blow Dry Bar. They did a good job, but the atmosphere is so much better at the other place. A quick trip to Nordstroms later and it was time to get ready for her bday dinner where my margarita was the size of my head.  Several bars and several shots later...I'd say it was a good night. I'm not going to say there wasn't any drama...bc with 16 people it's practically inevitable, but. It's over now. 
  • I love lazy Sunday mornings. Especially when they include brunch. And mimosas. And more time at the pool. And more mexican food and margaritas. And champagne. It was a lazy and fun but very long day.
  • Cinco de Mayo. I didn't actually plan to celebrate, it's like St Patty's Day in NYC here, but someone still wound up at a mexican restaurant after a trip to Ikea with S.
  • Whoa. E, K and I all signed up for this six week Row Challenge through Row Studios here in Houston. It just started and they suggest you take at least three classes a week for the six weeks. Well, our first class was last night. E and I chose the class called Row Strength. Now if you think any rowing is involved in this class, well, you'd be wrong. It was more like a crossfit workout. And when we were done I could barely lift my arms. Next class is Thursday where, hopefully, actual rowing will be involved.

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
