i know you have all been anticipating my birthday week in review.
so my festivities started on thursday. actually they weren't so festive because E left town that morning but he did leave me presents. which included a t-shirt from threadless.com, some cool speakers for my ipod listening at work and this handy little cord wrapper thing for my ipod. plus some flowers. oh and a $25 itunes gift card.
friday was pretty low-key. no festivities other than i had a three day weekend ahead of me. actually i have no recollection of friday night...i think i cleaned.
saturday my friend alida from fort worth came to visit me (at E's prompting). we had intentions to go to the art's festival for lunch, cheever's for dinner and some fun stuff in between. instead we had a lot of rain, a stop at sonic, old navy, and the marathon expo. finally we made it to the art's festival around 4:00pm and i ate an empanada...mmmm good. E asked me to document the weekend with photos since he was going to be gone so here are some pics from our rainy outing.
stop at old navy. my new friend chunky monkey.
beef empanada and fried sweet potatoes. double mmmm.
a lovely view of downtown after the rain. i think it was much prettier in person...
saturday evening consisted of me trying to rest and not panic about the upcoming marathon. i went to bed at 11:00, i went to sleep at 1:00.
and three hours later i awoke at 4:00am (am, am, am, am...before sun the welcomed me to the day). the marathon started at 6:30am and that was after a good 45 minutes of wandering around downtown with groggy marathoners. i'm glad the race started when it did because i was getting really cranky and annoyed at my fellow runners. three hours later...all done. the more i think about our run, the prouder i am of us. we did really great and i had a fun time. i have no pictures of the race. we had no personal fans and had no desire to travel with a camera. too bad.
after consuming a banana, two oreos, half a bagel and a half a cheeseburger i went home and went to sleep. it wasn't good sleep because i think my body was super mad at me. later that afternoon i went to my parent's house. we had picnic food and hung out a bit. by the way, i hate picnic food but my mother refuses to believe it so she serves it on my birthday. oddly enough i tell her i hate it and she just giggles. after a couple of hours of their house i had to bail. i was exhausted. here are some pics of my nephew isn't he adorable (snot and all).
my own personal cake....i should have taken a picture of the potato salad...yuk.
i think that's all i've got for now. tomorrow maybe you will hear about my pf changs induced trance and pedis and pizza.
