Cold Running, Sliders, & Disappointing a Celebrity Chef

It’s been cold around North Texas. I know I shouldn’t complain, after all, it took us to January to finally get some uncomfortably cold weather. But Scotty no likey.

Took my gloves off to take the photo. Mistake.

WTFrick?!?

I hate the dreadmill even worse than the cold, so I put on layers and hit the road. Why? Can’t stop. Won’t stop! Just a little more than a week until the Key West Half Marathon!!!

Soon my friend, soon.

Anyways, other than that, let me catch you up on some of what else has been going on in my world. Here’s the randomness in pictures.

Took a pic with the Dirk mural.

Kids were fascinated by the balloon animal maker lady.

I took a sneaky selfie with Pepsi (her real name) and Sarah & TriKohl at the latter’s going away party.

Had lunch with my celebrity chef friend, Trevor Ball. Look for him on the Food Network again in the coming months.

Then promptly disappointed him by eating these Sliders. Had to, it was a gift, and it’s a taste of home (Ohio).

But quickly redeemed myself by eating these tacos.

Then took a pic of the lil girl’s teeth, which are coming in quite nicely!

So there ya go. It’s been cold, random, and fun round these parts. On to the weekend and more coldy cold miles to run…and more randomness, I’m sure. Wouldn’t have it any other way!

How bout you? Love or hate Sliders? You running in the cold or takin it to the treadmill? Any randomness going on with you?

Running, Sausage and Such

It’s been a crazy week, kids.  So busy.  It was hard to keep up.  I almost went inside this place to get me some extra man juice…

I might need an injection to get me through this week.

Saturday: 11 mile run

Sunday: 4 mile run thunderstorm & yoga class

Monday: 3 mile run

Tuesday: 4 mile run + weights

Wednesday: 4 mile run of mostly hill repeats

Thursday: 3 mile run + weights

On top of that, I also had a funeral to go to.

And we’ve been getting the boy ready to start kindergarten.

After meeting the teacher.

I also stopped by a new restaurant where my buddies are the chefs in charge.  It’s called Scotch & Sausage.  Can you guess what they serve there?

My photo didn’t look as good as this one I found on the internet.

And get this, some of it was pretty healthy too.  Even a selection of veggie sausages.  I got the turduckin mole though.

My buddy Trevor, the head chef.

It was some pretty tasty stuff, I gotta say!

My other chef buddy, Joey, workin the line.

I had to eat other meals in during the week, of course.  Like this block of cheese.

You are what you eat. That explains my cheesy sense of humor.

And to sum up how wiped out I was this week, when I finally crashed on the couch one night, I was tooooo tired/lazy to change the channel when an old episode of Blossom came on.

I hope she solves her dramatic teen problems!

Yes, I ended up watching the whole episode.  I really do need that testosterone shot now.

How bout you?  Busy week?  You want some scotch and sausage?  Who’s ready for school to start?
