The word of the day is...

The word of the day is stress. I'm stressed about my work life, stressed about my personal life. Even running - which is supposed to be my stress reliever - is stressing me out bc I'm struggling.

For the past six months I've been pretty happy in Houston. And I want that to continue. I still like Houston but this past week was... 

It was a flashback to the way my life used to be. I stayed in Tuesday-Sunday, read two books and didn't do much else outside of work besides play on the internet and watch tv. And while it can be relaxing sometimes, after three days of it I was bored out of my mind. But I didn't have anything to do. After two years of working here, I only have a handful of friends inside and outside the office and everyone had something else to do.

You try moving to a new city you've never been to and see how easy it is to make friends. At 33, it's not. I do need to put more effort into this. I don't want to be a hermit for the rest of my life.

Yesterday was better, I went to the movies to see Lucy. Really weird flick. And tonight K and I are going to the Social Run that ends at Local Pour.

You know what would really relieve my stress? Getting one of these cute puppies! Part french bulldog, part boston terrier...they are perfect! Relax mom, I'm not getting a puppy. yet.


In the meantime, maybe I'll work on a few of these things and see if they help...

Weekend recap

I actually went out! Friday afternoon G text me did I want to go to dinner. Obviously the answer was yes. I have a great time with him and we can talk track for hours. I'm always early when I go to dinner with G bc I don't want to go home first, but we don't usually meet until 6:30pm. So I was early again Friday and sat in my car, with the heat on, reading. When he got there, I got out and we started to walk in only to see a sign that said closed for private party! You have got to be kidding me. I feel like their facebook should have mentioned that. So we walked across the street to some bbq place. BBQ in Texas is different. And, I think, not in a good way. I've been a few times and I don't think I need to go again. But it was a small place and we were taking up a needed table, so a while after we were done we headed down the road to Starbucks. And were there until they closed. Saturday morning I had an appointment at a local salon for a facial (sorry mom). For ...

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...

Here's what: March 21

Here's what three things I'm obsessed with this week... The Girls Night In that Deb and I are planning for when I'm home. We're slightly obsessed and have a whole private pinterest board to prove it. Now if only our family would actually respond to invite we sent out... I know I've included this race in the past, but now that it is this weekend I am starting to freak out. My "training" since running Austin has been close to nonexistent, much like K's, and E ended up with a minor stress fracture (!) but is going to run it anyway. Hopefully A will keep as all going. And the twins. Our birthday is in 13 days and I will be home for it! There are  plans to be made.
