Here's What: 2.26.16

It's been months since I've done one of these posts. So let's get to it. Here's what three things I'm obsessed with this week.

I randomly found this swimwear company on instagram last year...and I LOVE them. Savage Swim was started by a mother of four who could never find a suit that fit. Every piece is handmade in Florida and completely customizable. You pick which style you want and then you pick the inside and outside colors of the top and bottom (it's reversible) and color of the strings.  And wanting another one of these suits brings about the next thing that's been on my mind this week.


I've been following the Tone It Up girls Karena and Katrina online for quite some time and even watched their show when it was on Bravo. For the past few days they've been posting about doing a seven day challenge beginning this coming Monday. And it looks pretty good. And while I am maybe not really ready to give up alcohol at the moment, I think I could follow the majority of this next week and then do it again for real in the seven days before that wedding I talked about the other day.


All this talk has reminded me that I still haven't planned a real vacation and I would love to go to the beach! I'm hoping, although S thinks I'm an idiot, that it will be hot enough some time next month to go to the beach - or at least lay out at my pool - before I go home for this wedding.

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...

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. ...
