Scenes from the Weekend

Happy Monday!! If there's one thing I'm consistently good about is writing about my weekend and hopefully typing up a few other posts for the rest of the week. I swear, if I don't write down what I want to say, it just disappears off into space.

Friday morning I left for work and saw this on my front porch. AHHHH!!! MOTHRA! 

My fantastic FB friends told me it was a Luna Moth which is apparently a good omen. It's a sign of re-birth and re-awakening and also a vegetarian, which means it wasn't there to eat my face. Thank goodness, I was ready to pack a bag and not come back. 

On Thursday at work we had picture day. It was an opportunity for everyone to get a head shot for LinkedIn. This is my 3rd head shot this year so I was good. I just had one taken at convention a few weeks ago and it was infinitely better than anything the photographers took.

One shot, one take. The ones at work took at least 10 and I hated all of them.

Well, I'm sure I've mentioned that I work in a pretty interesting place and my team members are a little... quirky. Here's what 2 of them came up with.

I can't think of a more appropriate picture for the 2 of them. They said it was their family portrait and they needed my octopus as their family crest. Yep, I'm their boss. When we get the official version back I'm getting a bunch of 5x7s made and framed. Everyone is getting one for their desk. This also might be the picture we use for the team's holiday card.

Saturday morning I had some returns to make and a trip to the liquor store. I had a bridal shower to attend that evening and the theme was "Stock the Liquor Cabinet". It might be the best shower theme ever. Ever.

While I was looking for my present, I found something that I'd been looking for!

Sugarland Shine butterscotch moonshine! I've been looking for over a year for this! I had it at the a beer festival last year and it's seriously the best thing ever. 

Afterwards I headed to Omega Sports to return my Hokas. I wasn't a fan. On my run Tuesday the balls of my feet went numb and all of my toes. They have a really wide toe space and I know they weren't too tight, they just weren't for me. Thankfully I still had my receipt and I traded them in for a new pair of Sauconys. Sometimes it's just better to stick with what you know. 

I also had some returns to make to Nordstrom from the anniversary sale. The good news is I think I finally found the perfect moto jacket for the fall and my new favorite tunic. 

After my errands it was time to head to the shower. There I tasted this deliciousness for the first time. OMG it was good.

kudos Bud Light, kudos

Then I realized I'd only posted pictures of booze on Instagram on Saturday. Oops. I guess my inner lush came out. 

I wasn't sure if it was a girl party or a boy/girl party and when I got there and saw all the guys, I made Kev leave the house and come too.

Everyone had a great time and they walked out with a LOT of booze. 

Sunday came far too soon. I spent most of the morning food prepping for the week, doing laundry and working on some KD emails. 

I really, really, really needed to get my car washed. It was bad. Before I did, I stopped at AutoZone to get some degreaser to get the pine tar off my car. As I was cleaning it, I noticed there was a new to me car wash behind the Fresh Market and I headed there to get it cleaned. 

I really liked the place. They did a great job AND they have a cat.

This is Sophie. She was a stray they rescued and now she lives there. She also likes to sit on your lap. Well, my lap. Cats love me. It's my gift and my curse. lol.

Now it's time for some blogging and laundry folding. Not all that exciting but I needed a low-key weekend.

How was your weekend???

Scenes from the Weekend

I'm baaaack! Well, I wasn't really gone, I was off doing all things KD convention. The last few weeks have been pretty crazy, the three days before I left, I was in three days of Leadership Training at work. It was good stuff but left me 0 time to get everything in order before leaving. 

On Monday, well, I guess that's today, I'm facilitating a 3 day sales training for half my team, so I head to get ready for that as well. I was off for 4 business days, back for one, we have  3 day weekend then 3 days of training. It's all good but I noticed on Thursday that my team seemed a little distracted and just really un-focused. Part of that might have been due to the day's festivities and lie eating competition and but the rest might have been from me not really being around for the last 2 weeks. I think I'm going to have to re-focus them this month, after I finish training.

Alright, on to the weekend! I was off Friday and it was glorious. I did get up early and head to 930 Body Pump class since I skipped Thursday night. Then Kev and I headed to breakfast. We ended up at IHOP because everywhere else had a stupid long line. 

The rest of the day was spent getting groceries and binge watching X-Files. On a side note, I bet that Mudler and Skully would make out by the end of the 3rd season. We're almost there and they STILL haven't done it. Grrrrr.

Saturday morning I woke up and it was 75 degrees! I don't know that it's been that cool in at least 2 months. Since it was so nice I HAD to go for a run.

No really, if I have any hope of doing a triathlon, my ass needs to do some running. And swimming. And bike riding. Really, all of the things.

After I got home and watched some more X-Files, Kev and I headed over to Chapel Hill for the 4th of July celebration. 

One of the groups Kev represents was performing that night and we needed to work the merch table. If you get a minute, definitely check out Transit's website. They put on an awesome show!

I was bored waiting for the gates to open, and it was hot, my ass was sweaty but my selfie game was strong.

There were close to 40,000 people at the arena, it was CRAZY full.

The city put on a great show, the fireworks were amazing and really well done. Kudos to the city of Chapel Hill.

As we were packing to head home I found this in Kev's car.

I KNEW I lost moonshine. Believe, me, booze is never lost in my car. In case you're wondering, it's delicious. It has a vanilla cookie taste with a hint of marshmallow. I have no idea what to mix it with, or if I even need to. I think it might be nice in a shake with almond milk and ice. But it'd be pretty tasty just in a cup with ice. Mmmmm..

Sunday was glorious, I slept in like a boss. When I woke up I was struck with the urge to chop off my hair. Actually, I was struck last night and it carried over into the morning. I called around since my regular salon is closed on Sunday. I want to be clear, this is usually a really bad idea. Want to cut off all your hair and your salon is closed?? That's usually a sign to wait.

I'm not very good at listening to signs.

Thankfully my gamble paid off!

It;'s going to take me a while to get used to it. At least I like it today. Knowing me, I'll hate it in 3 days and spend the next 2 years growing it out... 

The rest of the day I need to fold some laundry and get ready to train tomorrow! Good times.

Hope you all had an amazing Fourth of July!
