Sunday Night Wine Theory

^^I got six bottles of wine in the mail today, much to my surprise. I'm set for all the Sundays.^^

I would like to propose a theory.  It is a simple theory. Sunday night television is the best night of television for drinking wine. Pinot noir, specifically, lately, but any wine will do.

Dexter (RIP)
Breaking Bad (RIP)
The Walking Dead

Bloody. Gritty. Dark.

Wine. Sunday. Do it. It's a great way to kick of the week.

PS- I realize two of these shows are now over, so, that sucks.

Color Me Rad

I did my first 5K on Saturday, the Color Me Rad run in Waco! It was a lot of fun! My friends Brittany, Melody and I had the first wave at 9am, and we were the first right at the start, too! We didn't stay there, but that's not what matters anyway. The course had nice scenery though the path had some mud detours and branches, but we made it! I think they should have had more color stops and music along the way, too. But, it was a good time and a great way to kick off the weekend. When Melody and I were running toward the finish line, a herd(?) of deer lept across the path, so that was a fun end to our run. I put my old iphone 4s in a plastic bag, so the pictures are not superb, but I think it captures the atmosphere :) The top photo is one my friend Meghan took while we were in that crowd!

A Nice Fall Weekend

This was just one of those lovely, well-balanced (aka- didn't do a lot of homework but a lot of other things instead), rejuvenating, perfect weather weekends. Friday was spent running errands, painting pumpkins and helping at an alumni homecoming reception, in preparation for our Saturday tailgate and football game. Sunday was some more errands, some homework, and ending the weekend with guts and gore of The Walking Dead, just the way it should be. 

See more of my painted pumpkins here!

Baylor Pumpkins

I came up with the idea to add some fall decoration to the School of Social Work tailgate the ladies of the student association and I planned; so yesterday I picked up a few pie pumpkins from HEB, got some painting supplies from Michael's, and painted these bad boys late into the night. I have to say, I am super impressed with myself on this. They turned out really well! And it was actually very calming and enjoyable working on them; even the animals were very chill. Maybe I should paint squash more often. Sic 'em!
