For 4th of July weekend, we went to Houston to hang out with Andrew's Uncle Jeff and Aunt Marjorie. Twas a great time! We ate lots of indulgences - Aunt Marjorie's "Grandma beans" & THE BEST potato salad to ever cross my lips, Black Eyed Pea Dip (very yummy and actually not too bad-for-you), Bloomin' Onion Bread (O.M.Good.God. so good, I ate nearly half the loaf), and my famous Reese's in a Cookie (can't you just taste it?!?). We also made Michelada's (eh, not for me) and drank lots of beer floating in the pool. Smokey got to hang out with his cousins Baxter (fellow wiener dog) and Bear (little poodle, so cute).I am running a 1/2 marathon in October! See Jane Run 1/2 Marathon - supposedly we get chocolate and champagne at the finish line - why wouldn't I?!?! The last (and I thought would be the ONLY) 1/2 marathon I ran was the San Antonio in 2008. I didn't train as well as I should have, along with my poor hip strength & core stability made for a painful and demoralizing finish. This time I'm motivated to run it with a bunch of lovely ladies, and my PT co-worker+friend Cindy is my running coach! I ran 6 miles on Sunday without a problemo!
My favorite places hearts - made out of maps!!! I cut up an old atlas that was falling apart. My mom wants one made out of places she has lived...
Oh yeah, Andrew and I still need one more "favorite" :)
Last but not least - I made this Rosemary-Rose Spritzer for a get-together this weekend. Deliciously summery & refreshing! I used up some rosemary from my herb garden. I'm going to try the simple syrup in some lemonade later this week...
I might run the half with my sole sisters!! We ran 6 miles on Saturday and unlike you, I thought I was going to die on the side of the road.
