The Last Weekend in July

Happy Monday!  Another mini work week starts for me today.  I'd be lying if I said I wasn't praying for a little rain this morning.  Softball camp starts today, followed by another coaches' training.  There is a chance of storms part way into camp today & I'd rather not drive over to work to get rained out, drive home, & then back again.  So rain dances everyone!

Linking up with Biana for the last weekend in July!

Friday

I tried to donate blood but despite taking an iron supplement, my iron was still too low this time around.  I rescheduled for a couple of weeks from now & will also be trying to eat more foods with iron in them until then.  Any good iron rich recipes??  I met up with my friend Lauren at the Drunken Donkey for a beer & some food.  She recently got back from a month long road trip with her dogs so I hadn't seen her since early June before I left on my own adventure to Minnesota.  Not pictured are the massive pork nachos & bacon thingies that we shared.  They are actually called bacon thingies & are the entire reason I wanted to go there ha.  They're chicken & cheese stuffed jalapenos wrapped in bacon.  I alternated between watching Friday Night Lights & Chopped while also recreating my living room on Excel so that I could see if I could logically fit a second couch in my living room... 

Saturday

I rearranged my bedroom, set up my new shelf to hold my records & my record player, went grocery shopping, got into a ridiculously stupid, out of nowhere "fight" with the cute boy I had gone out with a couple of times, that despite the fact that I was really starting to like him & think he was awesome, ultimately led me to peace out, & watched a shit ton of Friday Night Lights.

Sunday

I intended to go to church.  However, I did not.  I even got ready for it & was about to leave when I realized I was going to go to that second new church just to go to church.  Don't get me wrong, I still want to find a church that I like, but I knew going it that the one I was going to go check out wasn't my type of church.  It was the same type as the one that I went to a couple of weeks ago that I'm not a fan of.  So instead I hung out with Nash for a bit before heading up to Nebraska Furniture Mart to look at the couch & possibly buy it.  However, while in stock it wasn't on display.  And that place was super overwhelming so I bounced.  I can order it online if need be.  I do want to try to get financing on it though, even though it isn't that expensive, so that I can pay it off early & bump my credit score up a little bit again.

Earlier that day I had been whining about how I just wanted to get out of town.  That I wanted to just drive.  Trey text me as I was headed to NFM saying he was going for a drive, for the record he is not one of the people I whined to.  So when I got back home Nash & I headed to Trey's where we, along with his dog Layla, got in the truck & headed west.  He was/is trying to find different places to go floating at rather than the same couple of places he normally goes to & has to pay for tubes & shuttles at.  I was just along for the ride.  We stopped at Antebellum's for lunch, which despite being a place I love because of nostalgia, really isn't all the great.  The drinks are awesome & they have a great beer selection but the food is mediocre at best & seriously over priced.  That sandwich... $14.  We wound up all the way out by Possum Kingdom Lake near Hell's Gate... basically 2 hours from home.  When all was said & done I got home around 9:30-10 pm.  So exhausted from the heat & adventures that I didn't even eat supper.  I got Nash his food, both of us a ton of water, & then I crashed.  It was however just what I needed to get me out of a bad mood.
