Since we’ve been offseasoning, we’ve had some pretty epic weekends.\u00a0 This was the first one that we really and truly had kind of a “normal person” Saturday and Sunday.\u00a0 Sort of.\u00a0 It was totally the weather’s fault.<\/p>\n

\"Apr18-1\"<\/p>\n

Friday night, we went with friends to see Emo Phillips<\/a> at Cap City Comedy Club.\u00a0 I’m pretty easy to please with comedy, but this guy was hilarious (as was his opening act).\u00a0 If you get the chance to see him live, do it!<\/p>\n

Saturday, we took our bikes out to Lake Pflugerville and rode for 40 mins in the rain.\u00a0 I reinforced the fact that a) we do not melt, b) I am out of shape but probably not as bad as I think, c) now that I know how to properly unclip, I kind of can’t wait to keep riding my bike more.<\/p>\n

\"Apr18-2\"<\/p>\n

We also ran a mile because a) that’s what you do after you get off a bike at the Pflug, and b) I wanted to get some new header pix for my blog in my new kit at one of the places I typically train.\u00a0 Feel free to refresh the page until you see it. \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 That mile was just under 11 minutes and that is the one pace I have right now.\u00a0 We’ll fix that later, in a few months.<\/p>\n

Kayaking was on the plan but due to the rain and wind we decided to skip it.\u00a0 We came home and made lunch, and then I was off to a baby shower!\u00a0 Now, these are not normally my bag, but it was for a very awesome friend and other great people were going to be there who I haven’t seen in a while, so it was a lot of fun.\u00a0 I mean, look at this creative spread… right?\u00a0 How could this not signal an awesome afternoon?<\/p>\n

\"Apr18-3\"<\/p>\n

We had planned to go dancing that evening, but between the grey rainy day and being on my feet for hours, we decided on a movie night instead.\u00a0 How have I not seen the Great Gatsby?\u00a0 That sent us down a Baz Lurman hole and all of a sudden it was very late and I had vodka for dinner.\u00a0 Oops.<\/p>\n

Sunday, we woke up and I made actual breakfast.\u00a0 With pancakes and hashed browns and everything!\u00a0 And… then realized that was about half my calories for the day.\u00a0\u00a0 Second oops.\u00a0 We watched a little of the second season of The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt<\/a>, and then it was vanity clean out time.\u00a0 We got part of the way through the process, and Zliten pleaded severe hunger, so we headed out to do that (protein style burgers at In-n-Out are actually pretty great) and do some errands.<\/p>\n

Four hours later, having been through Ikea, Target, Bed Bath and Beyond, and finally Homegoods, I had the thought… this is what normal people do on weekends.\u00a0 And it sucks.\u00a0 Don’t get me wrong, I’m very happy to finally get this done, and over the next week or so, clean off all the other surfaces and cupboards in the bedroom.\u00a0 It causes me stress to see crap everywhere and be like “ugh, I’m a slob I should do something about that” before I go to sleep.\u00a0 However, I hate errands and I’m not really a cleaner, so it also causes me stress that one whole precious weekend day was dedicated to this type of normal-assery.\u00a0 It was only made possible by the shitty weather.<\/p>\n

\"Apr18-4\"<\/p>\n

The week preceding it was kind of a blur except:<\/p>\n
