Pool Time is the Best Time

Hello?  Is this thing on?  Somehow another two weeks have escaped me.  The past couple of weeks were a one-two punch for me.  After being in survival mode the week before last, trying to finish up a big project at work and recital week at the dance studio (which by the way was amazing!) I felt like it took the entire week last week to get back in the groove of things. I have no idea how I did it for 4 months every year when I was coaching basketball. Who's crazy idea was that?! Oh yeah, it was mine.

With spring football, fishing season, dance, and big work projects finally coming to a close, we kicked back and thoroughly enjoyed this weekend. Despite a couple of torrential downpours in the afternoons, we spent the weekend lounging at the pool with great friends, good food, and of course the pups.

We attempted to spend as much time as we possibly could here:

Sunday was a continuation of Saturday, but with a quick Costco/lunch trip to Montgomery to get a new pool storage box (our old one bit the dust last year and was limping along) and some amazingly delicious burgers from Red Robin.  We always forget it's there but man the burgers are delicious! A word of advice, we tried out their Garlic Parmesan fries and were extremely underwhelmed. The fries had some garlic salt and a very small amount of Parmesan that fell off the fries when you picked them up on them....they were definitely NOT worth $1 extra.

We finished off the weekend with more pool lounging with friends and an intriguing episode of Dateline that got cut off with 30 mins left because we had a crazy strong thunderstorm roll in Sunday night (don't worry we googled it to find out if the guy ended up in jail...he did and rightfully so).  We literally watched the storm come in and boy was it a doozy.  I guess it's been a while since we've had a good summer thunderstorm.  As long as they stay like this one and don't throw any swirly winds at it, I don't mind them.

This week should be considerably less crazy and we've already scheduled a gym date tonight. I've been itching to get back to it after taking an entire month (or two) since we got really busy there for a while.
