Month: August 2016

I had a great long weekend in Dallas with my kiddo! We got in some exercise, had some great long chats, we did a little shopping, we ate some yummy meals out, we danced and sang for hours at the Dixie Chicks concert, we hung out at the swimming pool, we saw a lot of her friends, we went to church and brunch on Sunday and we even got in a little house work, meal planning and grocery shopping. Thursday, Tess introduced me to her knew Step Class and I loved it! We worked up a good sweat and had a great time. Friday we went to her WW meeting. Her meeting is so similar to mine. A great lively crowd excited to see one another, motivate and support one another and build friendships. Tess made us some overnight oats to eat at the meeting. Have you ever had Overnight […]

It was a record day at the food truck yesterday. I think that was the busiest day that we have ever had in our Wednesday spot. And….it was hotter than H – E –  Double Hockey sticks!!! I came home and took a cold shower and decided not to do any exercise. I’m fairly certain that I earned some activity points in the truck. If I didn’t, I lost a pound in sweat.  I may have snap chatted a few things. 🙂 I’m headed to Dallas today to visit Tess, my daughter. She asked me several months ago if I wanted to come down and go to the Dixie Chicks concert, and I jumped on it! I did find out yesterday that we are attending an OUTDOOR concert and it’s going to be close to 100. Fun you guys!! (Major eye roll here) Ah, I’m kidding. We are going to have […]

I decided that yesterday I would make up for my lack of activity on Monday. I walked the dogs before it got too hot, then I walked myself while it was getting hot, then I mowed the yard and it was too dang hot. I then took a long drive down the highway with the top down and by the end of the day, I had some color on my arms and shoulders! On my long drive, I stopped at the lake and sat under a shade tree for a bit, ya know, just soaking up a summer day. In the parking lot, they have one of these Little Free Library’s, which I have blogged about in the past, and still would like to have one in my yard one day. I think it’s super cute. Let’s just say, I didn’t have a lot going on yesterday, and I didn’t […]

I spent yesterday doing a lot of planning, but not meal planning. I mentioned a while back that Mike and I would be taking some trips this year. Reminder, with a kid that works for an airline, mom and dad fly for free! We’ve decided to take advantage of that this year. Okay, I decided, Mike agreed that it was a good idea. 🙂 We have a few trips coming up this month, then a few more planned for the rest of the year.  August – Dallas, Vegas, Dallas again, Nashville September – North Carolina to the beach with girlfriends. October – NYC November…My birthday month…maybe New Orleans? Nothing in black and white yet. Yesterday, I was focused on our NYC trip. We are staying in Times Square, we have tickets to a Broadway Musical and I think I’m buying a City Pass that I understand gets us around to […]

I love a lazy Sunday, and that is pretty much what yesterday was. Mike watched golf (allllll day long) and I can’t really tell you what I did. Too many cups of coffee in the morning and not quite enough water in the afternoon. That much I do know. I did get in a good walk outside yesterday afternoon with a friend, and then I took both pups out for a sniff and stroll.  I folded one load of towels that I washed four days ago, and I peeled and deveined some wild fresh shrimp for my very first time. Um, that took forever and was honestly kinda gross. The very nice man at the Whole Foods Sea Food Counter told me exactly how to do this. I need a better knife. I can say however, that dinner was delicious! I may do this again someday. I made a good chore […]
