Friday evening I started craving a burger. I mean really craving a big, greasy cheeseburger. We had even already planned to eat at home but those plans got nixed quickly. After all, that's why I have 49 extra WW points for the week, right? We went to Christian's Tailgaters which I think has the best burger in Houston. I got my fill of red meat along with french fries and a couple of onion rings. Neal and I even split a pitcher of beer since it was on happy hour. It definetley hit the spot. We had such good conversation in the little dive restaurant. Since I had already consumed about 2,000ish calories, I thought "go big, or go home." Sooooo, I talked Neal into going to HEB to get a slice of carrot cake. Not the best I've ever had (that title belongs to my mom) but it hit the spot!
Needless to say, I woke up Saturday feeling a little full. Neal went to ride 40 miles with his team. Mack & I went to Memorial to run a loop. After that, I came home to clean a little. I've got a new system. Clean half the house one weekend and the other half the next weekend. I've tried several things like cleaning one area each day. This seems to work the best. Truth is I hate cleaning and I'm not very good at it. We talk back and forth about getting someone to clean but it just seems silly to pay somebody to do something that I'm very capable of.
We didn't really do a lot of wedding stuff this weekend which was actually kind of nice. We did go to Al's to look at tuxes for the guys but that didn't take long. This was the last weekend that I don't have something planned before the wedding so it was nice to not have much going on.
Today was the Houston Marathon. Storms were forecasted, but God answered some prayers and it didn't rain too much on the runners. I was watching it on TV this morning and its amazing how many run this thing for reasons other than themselves. It was hard not to tear up listening to all of their stories. I am thankful that me and everyone I love are healthy and I pray that we have healthy kids. Neal and I are pretty sure that we're going to Seattle in June to run the half marathon there. I'm looking at it as one last hurrah before I'm hopefully knocked up. I would love to see Seattle in the summertime. Such an awesome part of the country. It was beautiful at Thanksgiving but apparently its in the 60s during the summer. Yes please!
We didn't go to church this morning but went to the gym for a LONG time this morning. Why? Refer back to the first paragragh! But that burger was so worth it. :) I just took Mack for a walk around the neighborhood. We weren't too far from the house and these 2 dauchsands came charging at him. One of them bit him. The lady ran after them to come get them. I told her that aggressive dogs really need to be on a leash. She just looked at me and apologized. I never met a dauchsand that wasn't bitchy. We turned around and continued walking on what turned out to be a beautiful afternoon.
