Boy howdy was this weekend the epitome of a cheat weekend!!! I ate like crap, drank a ton, and didn’t do shit!
Lately I have been feeling like every spare moment of my time is packed full of something. Everyone I know is getting married and that means every weekend I spend going to a bridal shower, bachelorette party, or a wedding. If I don’t have something wedding related, then it is something else…. Just every moment has been busy. Usually I like keeping busy, but I was feeling a bit drained, especially with trying to keep up with my ½ marathon training.
So when my boyfriend told me he was going to be busy all weekend and I didn’t have any plans on the books I was resolved to do a whole lot of nothing!!!!
To explain my weekend I feel like I need to break it down, starting on Thursday.
Thursday: My boyfriend has season tickets to the Seahawks so I usually get to go to several games a year, my first game of the year was Thursday’s preseason game.
I had forgotten about the new NFL bag rule, so I left my purse at work and just took my keys, phone, ID, and bus pass to the game. SO I kept feeling like I was forgetting something important, you know, like my purse.
The game was fun, as Seahawks games are.
Friday: Woke up in the AM to go to work. I left the house feeling like I was forgetting something important. Decided that it was just because I didn’t have my purse, you know… because it was still in my drawer at work.
Got on the bus….. Nope, it was my phone… I was forgetting my phone. Well shit. It’s a bit pathetic how lost I feel without that silly little device.
This week is one of my favorite co-workers last week at work, so we all went out for drinks after work.
I decided it was my responsibility to celebrate in winning fashion. So I did! I had two shots and 2… maybe 3 three mixed drinks in the span of, oh, maybe 2 hours.
Then I met my boyfriend for dinner. I decided it was a good idea to order a GIANT plate of nachos, with all the fixings and bacon mac and cheese. Because nothing says a balanced mean like cheese and more cheese.
I took the bus back to the park and ride after eating some food and sobering up. The park and ride is about 2 miles from my house. Got off the bus….. Left my keys at work. That feeling that I was forgetting something, that wasn’t just my phone…..
That’s right, in the same day I left my phone at home and my keys at work. Go me!
Walked home, because I couldn’t even call someone to come pick me up…
Saturday: Woke up. Called my parents (as they have my spare key). They were up at their condo for the day which meant I was without a car… My brother took all three of my nieces up to the Condo as well for the weekend leaving the house to my sister in law and I…
Not to worry. I have a key to my parents’ house! But the key is in the glove box… of my car…
Because I didn’t have a car to do anything else, I tagged along on my sister in laws day. We went to a spa in Lynnwood. I got an awesome facial (get your head out of the gutter you pervert).
We then went over to her college buddies house and watched the cougars, coug it! Started drinking… decided that we need to go to the local dive bar and got sloppy drunk! Sang some karaoke and wound up with three new T-Shirts. The three of us, my sister in law, her friend, and I ended up “walking” home.
Sunday: Woke up feeling like a dog had shit in my brain. I can NOT hang like I used to.
I ended up eating a delicious breakfast sandwich from Patty’s egg nest for breakfast. (Ended up… like I had no control over it… I knew what I was doing, but it was oh so good!!! And probably the only thing that would stay down!)
Then I started watching “Orange is the new Black” I know I am late to this party, but holy cow was it crazy!!! I totally recommend! Then I finished watching “Orange is the new Black”…. As in I watched the whole season in one day…
That’s right ~13 hours of TV in one day… The only time I left the house (or the couch for that matter) was to go get Gyros.
Monday: Ok…. So maybe this whole weekend shouldn’t be a total waste… so I woke up got my running gear on and run my longest run to date…. 8 miles! I had a slower split time, but I wanted to make sure I was pacing myself so I could maintain for the whole distance. It took me 1Hr 22min to do the whole run… that is with stopping to pee, because I thought it better to stop than piss my pants.
Then I went and walked around the beach with a friend that I haven’t seen in a while.
Below are picture from my run on Monday and the beach… there are not a lot of other pictures from my weekend as I hardly left the house.
