Slowing Down Today

I had quite the busy week. It was a great week, but yes, very busy. Today is my first time I have had a chance to actually slow down. I have not had the chance to take pictures of one healthy meal a day, but plan to do that starting tomorrow. :-)

Let's do a quick update:

Last Saturday I went with with Teddy to get something done, that I am not sure I can say on here or not. It will be a surprise to a few, so have to keep quiet. After that we went and got Thai food and went to a party.

On Sunday I watched USA vs Brazil soccer match. And ended up just hanging out with Mike and Teddy.

On Monday I worked of course, then caught up on some tv shows.

On Tuesday I had book club. The book we read was "American Wife" by Curtis Sittenfeld. I was bad and didn't finish it yet, but it was almost a 600 page book and I only had a month to read it. I had a lot of fun at the book club event though. I am glad I have kept this up for about a year now.

On Wednesday I worked really late, then went to Pluckers by the UT campus to participate in their Trivia Night. We did not do very well, but I definitely had a lot of fun. Unfortunately though I ate too much grease and was not feeling well later that night.

On Thursday Mike took Ender to the vet, a new vet. This vet seems pretty amazing. Shet set us up with a great plan to help his problems. She thinks he probably has worms, a bacterial infection because of worms, and on top of that doggie IBS. We are not going to get him hypoallergenic food (venison or fish), give him antiobiotics, deowormer, and probiotics. He is also getting a new type of flea/worm meds (frontline + interceptor, rather than revolution). I am really excited we have a plan now. He already seems to be doing much better. I just need to find probiotics for him!

On Thursday night I played basketball with a few friends for several hours. Now that was definitely intense. It was 99 degrees at 8pm, and humidity was ridiculous. I was not able to keep up with everyone, but still had a lot of fun. Afterward, Teddy, Mike and I all hung out at my place where we talked about traveling all night.

On Friday, I didn't have to work! I planned a whole "paris day" with Mike. Well, only part of it was actually all about Paris, but it was still fantastic. In the morning we went to Cafe Le Crepe and got 3 different crepes (we shared). Mike got this chicken one which I did not eat, since i can't eat chicken. I got this one called "The Italian" where it was proscuitto with basil and mozzorella. It was amazing. And we got a dessert one with bri, walnuts, honey and pears. It was PURE heaven. After that we went to Half Price Books and got some french phrases and french/english dictionary. Then we went home and got tickets to PARIS!!!!!!!!!!! Mike's parents were incredibly generous and bought us tickets to Paris as an engagement present. We are beyond excited!!! I am going Augustin 3rd - 9th. I canNOT wait!!

After booking our Paris flight, Mike and I went and watched "Away We Go" which I thought was pretty fantastic. We also ended up getting Mario Kart on Wii and played that the rest of the evening. Overall, a pretty amazing day.

On Saturday, Mike and I woke up early and went to Alamo Drafthouse to watched "Public Enemy". I as really excitef for this movie, but the movie was just okay. My biggest problem with it, was that you really didn't care much about any of the characters. They all just seemed to blur together. After that we took the pups to Bull Creek (waterfall dog park) and hung out there for awhile. Ender will officially swim now, but only if he is chasing a stick. It is pretty funny. They had a great time there as per usual. After that we met up with Mike's friend from out of town and a few others at the Spiderhouse. After there we went to Torchys, and then later to downtown. We first went to the Gingerman where we randomly met up with Teddy. Then we went to the area they call "dirty 6th" which was HILARIOUS. Amazing people watching. I would love to go into details here, but not sure everyone wants the details. haha.

So far today, Mike, I, Teddy, and some other friends went to Jaun in a Million. We got their famous "Don Ramon" tacos which were amazing. I only had less than 1/2 and am still from it, about 5 hours later. Yay! After that I took a nap at home, and did my Wii Fit sorta thing. Later I plan on picking up some veggies and fruit and watching a movie with Mike tonight at home. I definitely need to relax today, because this past week was BUSY for me.

I hope you had a great weekend as well!
