for once...i took some time not to tackle a huge pile of homework and have a real weekend...and you know it was really really really nice...made me feel like myself again...i felt a burden lift and a smile return to my face...this is good news...as i was thinking that i was going to get stuck with that stress face but it goes away...
i started out friday going to get the sunglasses that i was supposed to pick out for my birthday....yeah that was like a long time ago so it was fun to finally pick them out...they are very sporty...i like them a lot...and got two pairs of lenses one that helps brighten contrast on low light days and one that is good for bright days...and polarized...very sweet...
and while i was at it...i had some clothing gift cards to spend...and actually got myself some jeans that don't have holes in them!...this is very exciting for me :) i was also surprised to find that i am not the same size i was the last time i bought jeans...ah...ironman...
saturday was a morning ride of 40 out on the bee caves loop from south mopac...i tried my best to hammer the hills...but at one point realized that getting rained on at 19-20MPH hurts...then home for a bit the groceries/farm/hummus making...then a baby shower/housewarming with good friends that i don't get to see enough...it was great to see everyone again...then off to a dinner at an austin staple...that i had never been to...it was really good...and excellent margaritas
sunday was a swim and a run...swim was great...run was hard...only 7 miles but it was hot and humid...misting at first...then just humid and windy...did get to run with Ben which i never do...(he's too fast for me)...then home to shower and off to brunch for a super great friend...to celebrate her birthday and a PR at the boston marathon...everything was delicious...and of course i had to have a piece of her famous banana cake...so good...
so i guess after blogging...i'll read a chapter or so in chem...but really not going to over do it...hanging out at the house...seeing friends and have some good training...it has been a great weekend...

sounds fantastic, jess. :)
yeah! I'm so glad that this weekend let you see the "light at the end of the tunnel", Jess. Your stress related to school will end...and in not too long! and, yes, that humidity was a bear this morning...I felt it, too...big time! and I looked like I'd been swimming with you in BS after only our 8 mile loop!
