Party planning

I'm a planner. I like to plan things. And by things I mostly mean parties. I love to plan having people over. And I generally tend to go overboard. Girls night, Friday pasta dinners, Christmas Eve, etc.

And right now it's fight night. There are some Bellator fights on Friday night and I'm having people over. So. I need a menu. Food and drinks. All the drinks. :)

Nobody has a race on Saturday, so we don't have to have pasta. I always want to do something fun and not the standard party food. That's boring. 

The fights start late, so maybe not a full dinner. I'm always dying for a reason to make a cheese plate. And I recently saw a "dip party" on Pinterest and while I don't want a ton of dips, I love a good hummus or two and maybe one more dip. And the fresh market has some pretty good flat bread pizzas. Is that enough? Too much? Who knows. 

Now for the drinks. S wants to bring his margarita machine. Cool. And I want one of my favorite drinks ever, the perfect pear - pear vodka, st Germaine, lemonade and prosecco. Yum. And of course other booze and beer. 

I may change my mind five or ten times between now and then but that's what I'm thinking right now. Thoughts? What would you make?

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...

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...
