Weekend recap

Who doesn't love unexpected three day weekends? Although there was def work going on Saturday.

Friday morning I woke up to a message from my boss that the office was closed due to the "winter storm" that blew through Houston. No actual snow, but from what I hear the roads were pretty icy. I wouldn't know anything about that since I promptly went back to sleep and didn't emerge until almost lunch time. I did get some errands done in the afternoon. I am already planning for my Opening Ceremony party, bc you know, I'm crazy like that.

Saturday was warehouse work day. Doesn't that sound like fun? If you said no, you would be correct. It was still in the 30s Saturday morning so I put on two pairs of pants and two long sleeves with a hat and ran out the door. Once race weekend is over everything that has been shipped downtown gets loaded onto a truck and shipped back to the warehouse. So this weekend was set aside for clean up, to make sure everything gets put in the right spot and is organized and everything is accounted for. I was there for about six hours I think. At least they give us beer. And then we went to a bar, but all I really wanted to do was go home and take a nap.

We are all still so tired. But we powered through and went back out that night for drinks to a Mexican place. I eat so much Mexican now. It's so yummy.

What the heck did I do Sunday? Oh right, I made E go for a run. Five miles. Not too bad. But there's that pesky half marathon that's now less than three weeks away. Watch out. I can't remember what else I did. Oh yes, Crate and Barrel. Needed more glassware. And then I baked cookies. Even though E and I are doing a five day My Fit Foods challenge that we started today. But I need to stop eating so much junk. Now that the event is over and things are slowing back down, it's time to start cooking again and not eating all the junk food.


This week should be quiet. And it looks like we could have another non-snow day tomorrow. I can dream.

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...
