Weekend recap

Let me start off by saying...I love three day weekends. There should definitely be more of those.

It was, for the most part, relaxing. And hot.

Friday I sat out by the pool. In a bathing suit. Parts of me that hadn't seen the sun in six months got a little more color that I would have liked. And boy was it hot. I lasted about 2.5 hours before I had to get out of the heat.And when I went to check my mail, my new book had arrived! I think it's time for a road trip.
 
On Saturday, I finally joined a gym! I went over to the LA Fitness around the corner to take a tour. I had a plan. I wanted to get a cheaper membership than they were offering. But those things never work out for me. It's not a bad deal, but I do think it's weird that it costs more than my old membership in CT. While there, I found out K had just finished a workout (she belongs here too). She came back in to see me and we ended up going across the street for breakfast. I was too hungry to workout. Oops.

Later that afternoon, I went to my first-ever crawfish boil. I had a great time, but I ate way too much. I have got to stop doing this. Honestly. I think I ate 4 pounds of crawfish. Not good. I woke up Sunday morning with a crawfish hangover. Oof.
 
 

Sunday morning I got up early (for me) and worked out. Go me. Mainly because I had an 11:00am meeting with someone about a photo shoot I'm planning for work. The meeting was great, especially since it included brunch at the Buffalo Grill. The rest of the day was spent being lazy and helping E get some healthy grocery shopping done at Whole Foods. I just don't have a huge desire to do anything when it's that hot out.

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...

Rock n Roll Dallas recap

We arrived in late Dallas Friday afternoon. When we had left Houston, it was a balmy 87 and four hours later when we stepped out of the car in Dallas is was 53! Talk about a temperature drop. Saturday we went over to expo to get registered and pick up our bibs. The expo was pretty cool, lots to look at, but it took a hot minute to figure out how to get out of there which maybe was the point. By the time we went to dinner on Saturday everybody was a little concerned about the weather for Sunday's race.  They were saying it was supposed to be about 41 at the start with winds at 25-30 miles per hour and gusting to 45mph! E and A wanted to wear long sleeves while K was still talking about running in a singlet. I was on the fence. I didn't have any throw away clothes with me so if I wore a long sleeve top I would have to keep it on the whole time. In the end I stuck with my normal short sleeves and gloves. Sleep Saturday night was fitful and by the time the alarm went off I w...

Foodie recap

I love to cook. And I love to cook for other people. I may not stray too far on my menu, ok people have said I cook way too much salmon, but at least I mix up the recipes some times? All right, so I probably eat salmon 3-5 nights a week and when I'm not eating salmon I'm eating Mexican. This is Texas. But I should branch out every once in a while. I need some new dishes. Who has suggestions? Everyone once in a while, we make filets...but that can get expensive so it's usually only on special occasions - like holidays...or if it goes on sale. I've made scallops before, so good, but also expensive. I also want to stay relatively healthy. It's ok to go off the reservation and eat what I want once in a while, but I should not be doing it as much as I have been lately. Sooo...here's what I've been eating lately... Chicken fajitas I feel like there must be a veggie missing from this plate... Chicken fajitas take two Happy Mother...
