Here's what: September 18

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

My little sister turned 30 yesterday. I can't believe it. I feel so old. She's currently living it up in Vegas for eight days! I know, I know...who goes to Vegas for eight days?

Meet Gordeaux. A friend of mine got a dog a few weeks ago. And I love him. I may steal him. Shhh. It's no secret that I have wanted a puppy forever. When they start making puppies that stay puppies and come fully trained, I'm in! It doesn't help that the two types of dogs I'm interested rarely show up at rescues and if I wanted to buy one they usually cost in excess of $1000. Of course I like the expensive dogs. Gordeaux is perfect though. He's not too big and he's four years old so he is already trained. And very chill. He'll sit next to me for hours and let me rub his belly while we watch tv. If anyone knows someone with a french bulldog, boston terrier or frenchie/boston mix let me know! I want one :) (yes mom, I know it's not a good idea.)

I need more/new candles in my new apartment. When I first moved in it smelled like cleaning supplies. Normal, I get that. After having people over for dinner on Tuesday, it smelled like the steak I had seared on my new grill pan. And now it smells like the hamburger I had for dinner last night. I love my food, but I don't need to still smell it 24 hours later. Ventilation at my place is a little iffy. So I really want to get a few more of my favorite candles from Anthropologie. They're strong, but not overpowering.

15 days

As of yesterday, it has been 15 business days since I submitted my paperwork to State Farm for all of the things that were stolen from my apartment. They have never reached out to me, but I have called them three times. First, with questions before I submitted my paperwork (this was when they told me they had 15 days to accept or reject my claim but that it "never takes that long"), then to see if they needed my new address since I was moving soon and finally last week to get an update on my claim status (this was when they told me they were just waiting on the police report which they had requested on August 16 and it only takes 3 or 4 days). Maybe they put a note in your file every time you call and make you wait that much longer before they finish your claim. I just want to replace what was taken from me. According to Texas law, there are deadlines for insurance companies to act after you’ve filed a claim. They must accept or reject my claim within 15 days after m

Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder?

The I can't believe it's been about seven months since the last time I posted a blog. Did you even notice I was gone? So much has happened in the time that I have been gone. I'm not sure I would be able to get the whole story out or even know where to start. The 2017 #HouMarathon, the twin's last chemo and radiation treatments, me accepting a new position with Susan G. Komen Houston, Aunt Sandy practically in remission, I lost Lola, I got Jewels, my second trip to Denver, my little sister's wedding...the list goes on and on. It's been a very rocky eight months. Personally, professionally, any way you want to look at. But I'm moving into a great place in my life right now and that's all I can ask for. I was devastated just over a month ago when I lost Lola. She was having trouble breathing one night and by lunch the next day the vet had told me there was nothing they could do. Tumor in her left atrium. I had to let her go that afternoon.

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
