Allow me to introduce…


my new baby….
100_5548

My husband is a mighty fine man, and surprised me on my birthday with a MacBook. That I am officially blogging from RIGHT NOW! Oh be still my heart!!! I have wanted one of these baby’s since I tried a mac out. The statement is so true: “Once you go mac, you can’t go back”. :) So I here name this mac book “Baby Mac” because its cute and tiny! Now I’ve got to find a nice {pink} case for it, to match the iphone. {Insert: I LOVE APPLE!}

 Thanks you Hubs!! You always make all my dreams come true. :)

Yesterday was a very fun-filled day. Birthdays are so awesome, you always feel loved and special on your birthday, its great! And thank you to EVERYONE who wished me a “happy birthday” I loved every single comment, twitter, facebook comment, etc. I read them all and if you haven’t gotten a personal thank you from me yet, its just because I’m a little behind on the emails right now, but it really meant a lot to me. Ya’ll are awesome!! {Do I say awesome a lot? Hmm…}

ALSO! My mom and sister got me my all time favorite-so-wanted-to-get-but-haven’t yoga mat, check it out:

Aren’t they awesome!? LOVE IT! Thanks Mom & Lil’ Sis! 

In other news, today’s running schedule calls for a 4 miler, which I plan to get in after work. Hope you all are having a healthy, active week so far!

So tell me, what’s your favorite afternoon snack? Curious :)  

{Delayed} Weekend/Week Recap: Parties, Dallas, Groceries, Tire & a Concert.. Phew!


I’m pretty sure I blinked and this week disappeared!

If I didn’t take pictures of {almost} everything that goes in a day, I’d totally forget what happened this past weekend…

So here we go!

Saturday morning I skipped my regularly scheduled workout of Wholyfit, to go run the track at the local high school with Hubs. We did great, it started to get hot and after about 2.5 miles, we were ready for A/C!

We had a Graduation to go to, and I loved how the rain decided to show up right before the outside graduation. Thank you Houston Weather. {blah}

100_4034I had my handy dandy mini umbrella though ;)

100_4036Happy Graduation Brett! :)

That evening was my 4 year old nephew’s birthday party at PUMP IT UP. 

That place is crazy… you know those huge inflatable bouncing things? Yeah, its like that times 10… even Adults can play. 

100_4048Yes… that’s my honey :)

100_4081This is what happens to Big Kids that play hard… rub burn from the slide. OUCH. Poor Hubs.

100_4070The Birthday Boy on this Throne 

After Pump It Up we headed out to Mamasitas with friends and family. It’s an AWESOME Mexican food place, with a whole section just for Vegetarian options. LOVE IT.

100_4095

100_4096The Birthday Boys {for May} got surprised with Dessert and Sombreros!

Sunday was a great day at church and my sister-in-law’s mom’s house for a Memorial Day get together, SUCH GOOD FOOD… but I forgot to take pictures. :\ Bummer..

After the party, we headed out for Dallas!… Hubs had work to do up there, and I got to make a trip to Whole Foods Market, score!

100_4106

100_4105Say Hello to Mr. Sam Houston :)

100_4107Dallas at night going 80 MPH… don’t worry, I wasn’t driving :)

We got in late that Sunday night, I totally crashed and hubs started working…

The next morning, we had breakfast at the hotel, tasty eggs and potato deluxe {free} breakfast.

I was so proud of myself in Dallas, I NEVER drive around cities when we’re visiting, I know Houston and that’s IT. But since Hubs would be working all day long and I really wanted to hit up Whole Foods, since it was only 10 minutes away… I braved the unknown roads. 

Found a Starbucks…

100_4141

a quiet little table, just me, tea and my calendar…  the calendar that I normally write down every upcoming event in, but since “I Do” I’ve been busy-city and have forgotten… so… sorry if I missed your birthday or something.. :\

After my little stop at Starbucks, I ventured off to Whole Foods…

and found this aisle, that I pretty much jumped up and down over…

100_4145Hello yummy bars!

Hubs and I did have lunch at Whole Foods, have you ever eaten there? It’s AMAZING, no joke.

100_4137

My honey LOVES it, they have so much to choose from and everything taste so fresh and delicious!

100_4135

I had this awesome Salad, and look at me, I tried their Tofu, and loved it!

100_4138

I bought a lot of goodies that I normally can’t get at my local grocery store…

100_4160

this was taken at home of course, I’m not crazy, I didn’t lay my stuff out at the store. ;)

100_4161got this for hubs to try, I’ll let you know what he thinks, they had Almond Butter packs too :)

100_4163

100_4164and of course Z BARS! These are Blueberry, Peanut Butter & Apple Cinnamon, I’ve never see them before else where…

So after the grocery trip and Hubs finished up his work, we packed up and got ready to head home… just as we were barely out of Dallas… just barely… we got a FLAT TIRE. {and I don’t mean the drink…}

Oh yeah, it was totally nutso. At least were weren’t in no-mans-land. 

We quickly found a Gas Station, and thank you Lord for “FIX-A-FLAT”.

100_4153Sheesh.

Gotta love the iPhone, because we found a Wal-Mart Tire and Lube, all other places like Discount Tire, Good Year, etc were closed because it was a Holiday {remember, we’re still talking about just Monday here…}

The kind people at Wal-Mart Tire and Lube said they’d have it fixed in 30 minutes…

2 hours later we were headed back on the road.

:| <— this was the look on my face.

After many songs, podcasts, way too many icky potties… We finally arrived home from Dallas at 11:30-ish. Good Times ya’ll.

Tuesday, was a pretty normal day, just insert a lot of yawning and blinking. :)

We went to a concert that evening with our friends Greg and Melissa..

100_4170

100_4168 They’re such a fun couple!

100_4171I love this man :)

Good concert, good friends, good times. Love it!

Wednesday seriously flew by, I keep telling people today is Wednesday, {it’s Thursday right?}…

Be sure to stop by tomorrow for Good Deals Friday {seems like that sound be in two days, not TOMORROW!?}

And I’m super pumped, the Astros Race for the Pennant 5k is SATURDAY!! Can’t wait ya’ll :)

So tell me, what did ya’ll do this weekend/week? I feel so behind!.. and have you ever shopped at Whole Foods Market, or is there any other favorite “healthy” grocery store you like {e.g. Trader Joes, Central Market, etc}? 

P.S. The lovely Annabel from Feed me I’m Cranky, gave me a seriously FUN blogger award:

Well Hello Monday!

{Hi Friends!! Thanks for coming!}  

100_3971

and I found the necklace I’d been hunting for all week :)

100_3977and the bread that had a smiley face :)

Sunday was my husbands actual birthday, I got up early before he work up and make him French Toast {as requested} with powdered sugar on the side, syrup, and his favorite hot tea!

100_3983

100_3987Can you tell he was barely awake? :)

and in the afternoon, we had the family over for cake and presents!..

100_3978 

The cake was AMAZING!! {yes, I had a small piece} Thanks Janice, you’re the best!!

100_3997

100_3999

100_4005Cute man :)

100_4010

100_4020Then the boys finished off the party with some Wii! :)

Good Times!

I can tell you this, by the end of Sunday, I was SO tired, I think I crashed about 10:00pm.

And with this morning being rushed, I’m finally getting a chance to blog and then go workout, the weather is AMAZING here, did I wake up in the wrong city? It’s so random. I LOVE IT!

So tell me, what did you do this weekend? If there was one thing you could do every weekend, what would it be?

 

Happy Birthday Baby!!
