Weekend Recap

My weekend is finally over. It was nice while it lasted...all four days of it.  But for so much time off, I have little to show for it.

On my Friday off, I did yoga, went for a mani pedi, ran around for a bit and cooked dinner. Saturday after yoga I found Dora online (see below), isn't she the cutest? She's up for adoption after being rescued from a mill. I was running in the afternoon looking for a Veuve presentation bottle for a friend, in the pouring rain, then ended up picking up Gordeaux for the night. I cooked dinner and watched a lot of movies, seriously a lot, I was up til almost 5. Sunday morning after I (grudgingly) gave G back, we went for brunch at Cyclone Anaya's with their 1cent mimosa refills...and I may or may not have spent the rest of the day in bed. Another day off on Monday and S was off too, I dragged him to yoga in the am before lunch and some wandering around in the afternoon. A quick workout in the evening preceded an amazing dinner. I saw this on instagram a few weeks ago and have wanted it ever since - parmesan risotto with salmon, strawberries and a balsamic glaze. It did not disappoint.

That's it. That's all I got. Four days off. Downtime is good, but I like to DO stuff. Maybe this weekend.

Days off are perfect for mimosas

Who doesn't love a pedicure?

So good.

Isn't she the cutest...I might meet her this week.

Running some errands with G

Avocado BLT...delicious.

Warm up before the work out.

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 ...

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...
