~November 2019: One Month of Running and Hiking

~November 2019: One month of running and hiking with Sean. After taking a hiatus from forward momentum throughout most of 2019, I'm slowly trying to get back In The Groove in more ways than just on 4 panels.

John Bove's Birthday: BBQ & The Olive

Our friend John Bove's birthday was a couple of days ago so Sean, Danny, and I took a break from being hermits to celebrate with him last night! We had drinks and an impromptu bbq at our place and then headed to The Olive Mediterranean Grill and Hookah Lounge for more drinks, hookah, and billiards. I absolutely suck at billiards but I drowned (or perhaps burned away ) my sorrows in a Sweaty Mexican and had a magical time. :p 💛 you, dudes!

50% of Our Running Medals Are Now Up!

Approx 50% of our running medals as well as all of our ribbons, certificates, trophies, medals from other events, etc are still tucked away and scattered around chaotically but one half of our running medals are now beautifully displayed on this badass board Sean Gee skillfully and painstakingly made for them! Third picture is of the half of our running medals currently living under our bed which I still have to try and remember exist. 😂

Passed My 1st ITG 20: Spacetime 10/30/19

Fashionably late to the 20s+ party.

I made a deal with Sean and Urza awhile back; per my typical terms, I agreed to pass an ITG 20 by Halloween or eat a worm. Let's just say I put the "pro" in procrastinate.

Find this and future streams on Twitch.tv/TeamBBC or keep an eye out for Sean's and my YouTube vid links.

10/30/19 - My first "real" 20 imo. I still have yet to eat a worm for losing a bet. *knocks on wood* :p

Gym and Longhorn

Some Planet Fitness gym shenanigans followed by ultra cheap graveyard food and booze specials at Longhorn Casino and Hotel ~1.5 days ago! 

Pre-Halloween Date Night

I'm sure it won't surprise a lot of you to learn that Halloween is hands-down my favorite holiday. With that in mind, you might better understand why I LITERALLY cried when I went downstairs Thursday and was greeted by this sight. We've been so caught up in work recently, we hadn't gotten around to decorating for Halloween but Sean took a little time and did up this cozy space to surprise me. :'D!!! To top things off, he baked enormous chocolate chip cookies (no, that stack in the pic isn't pancakes) and planned us an extra special date night here. Around 1am, we got the rum and whiskey flowing, dusted off the hookah, put a couple of pizzas in the oven, grabbed the cookies, and cuddled up on the couch to watch horror movies. He picked out some pretty choice movies for us too! Clowns, my favorite band New Kids on the Block, a red mustang with black interior and convertible top, spiders, full-frontal male (as well as female) nudity and sex.. It's like someone created them from the typical contents of my subconscious. O_o Not just due to my small start towards repaying Sean, the sun had been up for hours by the time we remembered to do anything about the fact that humans eventually require sleep. XD SUCH an amazing night. THANK YOU, HUSBAND!!! 

Dark Desert Dog Jog Near Railroad Pass Casino 10/24/19

Sean and I took the dogs for an evening, desert jog near Railroad Pass and had a mini picnic with sunset views around halfway. :D We did a loop of Ernie's and The Sh*t trails, if not any others, starting and ending at Railroad Pass Casino. Some of the loose, single file trail was steep and cliff adjacent - nothing too deadly but still pretty badass to run around and worth a little extra caution. Other worthy mentions: we encountered a coyote and found LOADS of shotgun shells (far more than pictured) as well as a rake in good condition halfway up a big hill. O_o
