Keeping Austin Weird

Had so much fun with my mom and sisters (and sister from another mister-and mom-haha, Auntie Maaya) doing the Keep Austin Weird 5k this weekend. I finished a mile, cut across and waited for my crew to come back through and finished the last mile with them. Didn't want to overdo it. It was HOT (which is why Jonathon and Austin stayed home and watched a movie and ate ice cream instead), but the shots and wine helped me get to that finish line. haha. Reminded me of how dang lucky I am to be in a city I LOVE and spend time with my favorite girls (who put on all of the ridiculous gear I brought and rocked it all the way to the 5k mark in the hot as heck Texas heat).

Justice (aka the khajiit) tamed a velociraptor.

SHOTS!! Love Boog's face. This was mile 3...mom's elvis side burns were a little frazzled at that point and I only had 1 eyelash left...just my luck!!

We waited until the crowd went through and started the race in dead LAST place...but lots of weirdos were distracted by the alcohol stops, so we passed up at least 1/3 of the crowd before we got back around to the finish line!

A night with the girls was just what the doctor ordered and got all of us in gear to be a little more active leading up to the race...and we are working on a plan for our next race...maybe in the fall when it's not 200 degrees outside at 8 pm and I have to wear long sleeves to cover up my radiation field!!

Speaking of radiation...16 down...12 to go! I'm pretty darn tired. My skin's a bit 'burned' and tender, but nothing else too exciting to report. Makes sleeping a bit of a challenge because I'm still recovering from surgery on one side, biopsy on the other and then add in the burn and heat rash. AAAAHHH!! I got a kink in my neck trying to turn over in bed a couple of nights ago. haha. I'm ready for a vacay. Thank goodness I get a 3 day weekend because the center is closed for the 4th on Friday. yay! Have to keep reminding myself my body will heal soon. This is temporary. I am going to be okay!! Hopefully, all will stay on track and this phase will be over in a couple more weeks. 

If you haven't gotten an invite yet to our fun family and friends Win the Day party planned in Austin on 8/31 in your inbox...it's because I don't have your email!! Send it to me now please :) Need RSVPs by the end of July to get our bbq order in at Salt Lick and make sure we have enough bouncy houses and s'mores on the fire pit for everyone...yummmm...did I distract you from your task? SEND ME YOUR EMAIL or RSVP if you can make it!

Keep being WEIRD, we love you that way. 

Love
