My stressful week!
The Associate book review and pumpkin spice latte!
My hermit crab molted! and Cinnamon Bun oatmeal
aaaaand my long run! 10K!
So on Saturday, my older brother made a big purchase. And I don't just mean expensive - I mean BIG!
Now that it's football season, he decided it's officially time to invest in a FLAT SCREEN TV!!! The TV they had been using was my sister-in-law, Lauren's, TV from when she was growing up! It was time for an upgrade. They got the TV at a Best Buy near us, and were luckily able to just wheel it right home!

| How convenient! |
Walking over, I realized I hadn't seen their puppy, Molly, in a whole week! I knew she was going to be big, I was so nervous! And I was right to be, she had grown so much!
 |
We're still practicing on posing for pictures... this took about 10 minutes to take. I wanted to send a picture of Molly with me wearing my Chief's jersey to my mom! She's a HUGE Chiefs fan! She even saw them win the Super Bowl! |
Harrison ended up watching most of the game on his computer, while I had some fun with my buddy! No need for a game, Molly was plenty entertaining all on her own!
She's just too adorable! And much better about chewing on me! Also, my brother and Lauren have taught her a lot of tricks! She now knows sit, down, shake and fetch! She's so smart.
After hanging out with them, I headed back home to get some work done and then it was time for dinner at Twin Anchors with Harrison, Lauren and Allie! Twin Anchors is a great local BBQ place. It has a very small neighborhood feel, but it's pretty famous! It was established in 1932 and was a favorite of Frank Sinatra's!
I managed to get this picture when we were walking in... but I completely forgot to take any after that. Again, something that I need to work on. Lauren got the veggie version of a sloppy joe, and the rest of us all got the pulled pork sandwich. I cannot go to any BBQ place without ordering pulled pork - it's my absolute favorite! I'd also gotten it here twice before, so I knew it was going to be good - and it was!
Rather than getting mine on the sweet roll though, I asked for it on top of one slice of wheat bread, like an open faced sandwich. For me, half the fun is eating the pulled pork with a fork. Don't ask my why... I always end up pulling apart sandwiches and eating them like plates rather than they were meant to be. I'm a weirdo, what can I say?
Do you prefer watching a football game from the comfort of your own home, or do you like going to a "team bar"? Ever have a problem finding a channel to watch your team's game on television?
My Yogi tea yesterday had some wise words and I liked them so much I thought I'd share: "Life is a gift. If you do not value your gift, nobody else will."
