Update 4.18.16

Since the office is closed bc of all the rain today, I finally have time/want to write an update. I've been gone for a minute bc I wanted/needed to walk away for a bit.

Anywho...last weekend I finally really celebrated my birthday on Saturday...with some good people and a lot of champagne. Max's Wine Dive for dinner (love that place, great brunch), Stone's Throw for drinks (another fave) and Pistoleros late night bc well Pistoleros. Sunday was super lazy. Stayed in bed forever, wandered around for a few hours before heading to an engagement party for friends. Super cute couple, so happy for them.

Since we're still in the middle of my use-or-lose vacation day, I had two days off mid-week last week. Wednesday was spent having all the fun and I tried to make up for it on Thursday. Dish Society is now one of my favorite happy hours. $15 bottles of prosecco and pretzels with gouda queso. Yes please. Which is probably why I cut my Thursday morning run short. That, the margaritas and just generally being hungry haha. So after a healthy lunch and maybe a nap I went to Memorial for another run later that night. Oh that's what else I did Thursday. I have been looking for pillows for my "new" couch since I got it. And I finally bit the bullet and bought some. I love pillows. I want them all. But come on. They are so expensive.

Catching up with Gmoney at lunch on Friday was good. Had never been to Bramble on Voss before - the burger was so good. All the wine at dinner with friends that night made for an early night. Saturday was more running, I sat outside for an hour I think and then did some much needed cleaning in my place. Went to Pistoleros that night to watch the Glory fights and, early on, was told you have to order food! when S found out I hadn't eaten yet that day. whoops. The fights were good, then we went to El Tiempo for dinner bc we always need more Mexican and margaritas. After another early, shitty run on Sunday I wandered around town for a while - Kuhl & Linscomb, Marshalls, Target, all my favorites - before another quick nap and Sunday pizza at Whole Foods. If you've never been to WF and had a pizza made fresh, sat at the bar with a beer and ate...you totally should.

With over seven inches of rain in my neighborhood in the last 24 hours, the office is closed today. In fact, most of Houston I think is closed today. It was nice to watch the Boston Marathon from my couch, but the race is over and now I'm bored. I would say it's time for brunch, but I'm pretty sue driving may not be a good idea. Either way, I'm back now and will be posting on the semi-regular...when I feel like it.

In the meantime, here's my week in pics...

She knows she's not supposed to be up there...

The only picture from my bday dinner night...Twin wanted to see before I went out haha

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
