Dam good run

Today was Brian's first time to run the Longhorn Dam loop, which is 10.1 miles. We did pretty well. It wasn't my best 10 mile run by any means, but it nice to get it done and feel the sense of accomplishment. Our regular running group has dwindled to just a few and today everyone was otherwise busy so it was just me and Brian.

The weekend has been good so far. Tiff and I skipped our class last night because several of the girls couldn't make it and it's much more fun when we're all there. Instead we went to Mesa Rosa for happy hour and to celebrate Erin passing the State Bar exam. GO ERIN! Her cards have her name and "Attorney at Law". It's so official now! The pass rate for the Bar is quite low, but we knew she would do it. After Mesa Rosa we headed to the new bar at Parmer and McNeil, Little Woodrows. We were pleased to see that they had Brian's favourite beer, Stella Artios, and they also came in these awesome Stella glasses, so we hiested a couple of them to take home. Brian and Mike were pretty drunk by the time we all left. Tara drove all the way from her house to pick us up and drive us all home. So sweet of her.

On Saturday, it seems that Brian got "over served" because he was quite hung over. I called Tiff and we headed to the mall for some retail therapy. I got some great jeans from Gap, a skirt and two sweaters from Penney's, and a cashmir hoodie from Kohl's. When I arrived home, after stopping at the pet store to get cat food and ogle all the kittens up for adoption, Brian was feeling much better and was ready to go eat. We went to NXNW where Brian had his favourite burger and I had salad and chips. mmmmmmm. Americans think that's weird, but it's the perfect meal and no weirder than Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches (ick!).

Now we need to get to work on the rest of our plans for the day.
