Saturday Catch-Up

This week, I…had some fabulous friends visit, which gave us a perfect excuse to eat In-N-Out, went to my favorite sushi restaurant, created my “usual” of traditional wrap/white rice/beef/cream cheese/green onion/avocado/tempura crunchies/teriyaki sauce roll, made my team shirt for the Color Me Rad race, which turned out to be quite the headache and we ran into a few technical difficulties with the other shirts, but woke up race morning prepped and ready, ran behind someone in butterfly wings and a tutu, captured Team Totally Awesome, was soaked with color bombs, color powder, and color spray.

Then I…

beamed with pride as I finished running my first 5k in its entirety, almost-kissed the husband in celebration but spared his face the color treatment, celebrated at Wings & Rice with chicken katsu and chicken fried rice, discovered that Boots does not like rain at. all., received a delicious milk chocolate/white chocolate/walnut cookie from a teacher at work, joined LA Fitness, was super thankful for Daniel bringing me a hot white chocolate with raspberry home on a dreary day, got hit with some kind of bug and Boots took care of me by laying on top of me and stroking my face with his paws, and we pretty much spent the rest of the week cuddling in bed and on the couch, though the poor guy really wanted me to go outside and play with him.

And then there was Valentine’s Day!

I…

was supposed to meet with our LA Fitness trainer, but because I was feeling crummy we rescheduled, but Daniel still spoiled me with beautiful flowers and my very favorite Valentine’s treat of chocolate-covered strawberries (which I did not share) before he left to spend the night at study group.  And I made eggs-in-a-hole, because it’s something my mom made for special breakfasts growing up and when I’m sick, I like to feel close to my mother.
