Bye bye bye

The twin's visit has come to an end. Right about now she should be on her way to the airport for her flight home.

We didn't get to spend too much time together, but the time the we did was good. Monday I went over to her hotel after work and we met some of her coworkers down at the hotel bar for a drink. And then Tuesday I went over to see the showroom floor of their convention before they had a private concert in the GRB with Little Big Town.

I have zero pictures from our time together which is unfortunate and in all of the pics she took Friday night my eyes are just about closed. Apparently I look high most of the time now when we go out at night. I blame my contacts.

Now that she's gone and I don't really have anything going on...I really need to start cooking again. I haven't cooked a real meal in quite some time. This - Risotto with Fresh Mozzarella, Grape Tomatoes, and Basil - is what I want to make. It's one of my favorite dishes and I don't think I've had it since I lived in CT.

I also need to go shopping. I think in the past six or eight weeks, I've gone out more in that short time than I have in the rest of the time that I've lived here. And I just don't have enough clothes for that. Don't get me wrong, my closet is ridiculously full of work clothes and running clothes, some casual things and a few dressy things, but nothing that I really want to wear out on a Friday night.Maybe I will go at lunch.


My workout today is supposed to be a mile warm-up, 3x1200m with 400m recovery, mile cool down. I really hope it's not raining bc that would be miserable. My goal is 9/min pace so the 1200's should be around 6:45. Normally I can do track work at 8/min pace so that should be ok for my first workout back.

Is it 4:00pm yet?

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...
