Weekend Update

I'm pretty good with timely recaps of my weekend shenanigans, aren't I? I think it's because I sit at a computer all week long so I like to give my tired eyes a break from the glow of a screen on the weekends (unless it's the glow from my iPad while I watch episode after episode of Scandal, obviously).

{1} Our gym A/C is currently working spectacularly...I might as well run outside in July's midday heat at this rate.
{2} I had an early start to the weekend and took off early from work Thursday to head to Charlotte with my mom to visit my financial planner (hello nerd alert) Friday morning. Dinner at Cantina Fifteen Eleven started our trip off nicely.
{3} The Hampton Inn in Charlotte has TVs in the bathroom mirror! If you don't think that's the coolest thing ever, we can't be friends.
{4} Apparently my coworkers and I still think we're in college - Circle of Death is always a crowd pleaser.
{5} I headed home for part of the weekend for a baby shower for a friend (where I got to see so many of my favorite people)! My parents are building a new house so I got to play architect and interior designer while I was home. So fun!
{6} Sunday was one of my favorites. I had brunch with my parents, laid by the pool, went for a short run, and tracked my coworker while he competed in his first Ironman! I was jumping up and down screaming when he crossed the finish line after 13 hours and 40 minutes. So insanely proud of him, and nothing quite gives you motivation like watching someone complete an Ironman. Puts my half marathon to shame!

Monday, you'll look better when you're Tuesday...
