\u00a0 I’ll do my best to recap it all for you!<\/p>\nHi my lovlies!\u00a0 Did you miss me? *smooches*\u00a0 I had to unplug it for a few days because it’s been such a whirlwind around here. \u00a0 I’ll do my best to recap it all for you!<\/p>\n
Thursday night I hit the bed at 10pm.\u00a0 I was trashed.\u00a0 And by trashed, I mean passing out tired, not trashed in the “mom and I just did 6 shots in a row trashed”.\u00a0 Although admittedly that would make for some great entertainment, no?<\/p>\n
Friday morning I got up bright and early and busted out a 3.5er, go me!\u00a0 And for most of my run it was dark.\u00a0 I was proud of myself for getting it done in the dark (stay focused now) because I hate running in the dark.\u00a0 It’s not safe no matter what kind of ‘hood you live in, plus it’s hard to see.\u00a0 However, sometimes you just have to suck it up and do it.\u00a0 Staying relaxed is key. 
\u00a0 It wasn’t that bad and there were plenty of people up and about in their homes at 6:30am, so I was alright.<\/p>\n
Then Rocky and I busted out a walk.\u00a0 When we got back my mom was up and moving about.\u00a0 I proclaimed as often as I could that I was starving.\u00a0 This was to help get Scott moving a little faster.\u00a0 My mom was taking us out to breakfast and I was ready to gorightnowthankyou.\u00a0 Because I was hungry!\u00a0 And breakfast just happens to be one of my very favorite things to do.\u00a0 I needed something small though to help settle my talking bellah.\u00a0 I had the other half of my oat protein bar (homemade) and patiently waited for the princess<\/span> Scott to be ready to leave.<\/p>\n And then we arrived to a packed restaurant.\u00a0 No worries though because it’s totally worth it!\u00a0 We only had to wait maybe 10 minutes at that.<\/p>\n First order of bidness was some coffee!\u00a0 With cream and sugar.\u00a0 YUM!<\/p>\n I got the traditional with scrambled eggs (hot sauce on top please!), turkey sausage, potatoes, and an English muffin (no butter).\u00a0 That’s a lot of food!\u00a0 Ah breakfast time, I love thee!<\/p>\n I also ordered a fruit bowl on the side because I cannot have breakfast without some sort of fruit action.<\/p>\n That was a lot of sausage which was too much for me, but everything else I kicked because I was a machine.\u00a0 Everyone else finished and I was still eating.\u00a0 Hey I’m a slow eater, especially when I’m 1. out to breakfast and 2. enjoying my food.\u00a0 You’ll just have to sit there and wait on me! :p<\/p>\n After breakfast we went shopping!\u00a0 We hit up TJ Maxx and looked around there for a while.\u00a0 I was hoping to get more owl stuff but they didn’t have any more. After ages in the Maxx, my mom wanted to go back over to Garden Ridge because she was buying us a prezzie! A beautiful little trunk chest that now resides in our fancypants front room.\u00a0 I will show you pics of all my purchases soon.\u00a0 This post is already gonna be long enough!\u00a0 It’s so so pretty, I love this little trunk!<\/p>\n We came home to drop off our purchases and regroup a little bit.\u00a0 I stuffed my face with some cantaloupe straight from the container.\u00a0 I didn’t need a meal because breakfast was so large, but needed something.\u00a0 Fresh fruit it was!<\/p>\n Then we headed over to World Market.\u00a0 I try and take my mom to places she doesn’t have so she can look around and shop a bit.\u00a0 I bought food at World Market including a huge bottle of Choloula.\u00a0 I’m talking 12oz huge!<\/p>\n Then we came home and I made a very quick dinner.<\/p>\n Side salad with:<\/p>\n Balsamic dressing on top.<\/p>\n Seafood chowder with lots of veggies and shrimp and scallops.\u00a0 Mmmm mmm!\u00a0 Multigrain bread in the middle, I had two slices.<\/p>\n After dinner, was mostly hanging out with my mom since it was her last night.\u00a0 I had some red wine and a chocolate zucchini muffin.<\/p>\n Delish!\u00a0 I hit the hay around 11pm and zonked right out.<\/p>\n Saturday was an early day because we had to take her back.<\/p>\n I made a huge honkin’ bowl of oats to power me through!<\/p>\n Pumpkin (I found some!) and a nectarine.\u00a0 Oh so good!\u00a0 In my new pumpkin bowl!\u00a0 We’ve had rain pretty much the entire time my mom has been here.\u00a0 Basically all last week and all this weekend.\u00a0 Yesterday poor Scott drove us through some serious downpours.\u00a0 As in, you couldn’t even see the car in front of you kind of rain.\u00a0 It was crazy and a little scary.\u00a0 And I could not get over how many people were actually driving without their lights on!\u00a0 What idiots.<\/p>\n We made it to our destination, a little late though thanks to the rain, and dropped my mom off.\u00a0 I was dragging so much on the ride up, I told Scott we had to stop somewhere for something.<\/p>\n I needed me a shot of coffee and some man leg.\u00a0 Both dark roasts and large please.<\/p>\n Also on the trip I snacked on: Carrots and a PB<\/abbr> sandwich on 12 grain bread.\u00a0 I told Scott that sometimes a PB<\/abbr> sandwich is the most perfect thing ever and yesterday was one of those times.\u00a0 It tasted so freaking good!<\/p>\n And then more rain.<\/p>\n We finally made it home and both of us were so tired and just wanted to hang out.\u00a0 That’s what we did!\u00a0 Scott chatted with me while I prepped things for dinner and cleaned the kitchen.<\/p>\n Smoothie break!\u00a0 Because I was missing that like crazy!<\/p>\n Awesome and restored the soul.<\/p>\n Last night’s dinner was something we also have been missing for some time.<\/p>\n PIZZA!!\u00a0 The past two weeks we had pizza out and that is just not right.\u00a0 I didn’t realize how much I missed my pizza until I took a bite of it.\u00a0 It was so good, I couldn’t stand it.\u00a0 YUM!<\/p>\n The pizza had:<\/p>\n I started off with three pieces and went in for another 1\/2 slice. :o<\/p>\n After dinner we hung out on the couch and the first pumpkin beer of the season made its way forward.<\/p>\n MMMM Scott and I split that delicious babah.\u00a0 Then by 10:30 I had to call it a night and hit the hay.<\/p>\n All in all a great weekend!\u00a0 Thanks for understanding why I was MIA.
