Weekend recap


What a weekend. I love four day weekend anyway, but when they include a family wedding...amazing. I flew home late Thursday night, just ran a few errands on Friday before ordering Aston Palace (some of my fave home takeout) and watching a movie.

Saturday was the big day. Up early to get my hair done. If you know me, you know all I am capable of is drying my hair and/or putting it in a ponytail for a run. I wanted better than that. And honestly, what girl doesn't love getting their hair done. Well, besides my twin.The rest of the day is a blur. I went home and got dressed and twin and I left for the ceremony. It was a beautiful mass. With some time to kill between then and the reception some of us headed to the bar, before going to Harry Savoy's where the reception was. And since I will not be able to do it justice, take a look at our night in the photos below.

My dad...double fisting.


Me and Dad.

Gotta love Janice.

Mom & Dad.

Time to cut the cake.

My shoes! I wore them for most of the night. But boy did they hurt.

The fam.

I have no idea what song this was. Oh Doug.
Me and Dad again. And he rarely dances.

We clean up nice.
Welcome to the family Steph!

After party.






All I wanted was a good pic with the groom. Thanks Jeffy.
The morning after.


So. I stayed at twin's house. And she decorates for every holiday. Loves to decorate. And there's always candy around. How the heck was I supposed to know that the candy corn on the mantle was one year old?!?
I might have eaten some one year old candy corn. Just a little stale.

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...

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...
