Weekend Recap: Fave Foods & Fandoms

Hello, and happy Monday! This weekend I was in the same building as Ben Affleck (barf), Jeff Goldblum (YES), Billy Dee Williams (Lando!), and Dustin, Lucas and Max from Stranger Things (Ahhh!), but the only person, er…droid, I saw up close was R2-D2. While I didn’t get to meet any famous people, I did get to see 1000+ people dressed as their favorite book/movie/TV show/comic book character so…

Hello, and happy Wednesday! I hope your week is going well. I thought yesterday was Thursday pretty much all day, so as you can imagine I am doing great. It may be a slow week, but I’m happy because I FINALLY compiled my podcasts favorites that I’ve compiled for what seems like ever (okay, two weeks, but still). I’ve broken them up into different categories and then provided a few “if you like…

Hello, and happy Monday! I’m finally back on a semi-normal blog posting schedule! Well, normal in the sense that I’m not posting a weekend recap on a Thursday like last week. Baby steps, y’all. Also, this might be my longest post title yet. My reasoning behind it is even more wordy and ridiculous, so buckle up.

Friday

Jake and I went on a casual date night at the Thirsty Lion Gastropub, a…

Happy Thursday, friends! I apologize that this weekend recap is so late, but I kept going back and forth between “Should I do a weekend recap, or a race recap?” Well, a quick look at my iPhone photos were it was revealed that I took a whopping TWO photos at my half marathon, made it pretty clear that I didn’t have enough material to warrant a whole post on the experience. Look at me crushing the…

Unintentional Blog Break & Spring 2018 Updates!

Hello! I’m alive! As you may have noticed, I kind of dropped off the face of the earth and haven’t updated my blog in about a month. Fret not, it wasn’t for any exciting or dramatic reason. Truthfully, I was just feeling a little burnt out in a lot of areas of my life, and I figured putting low priority items would free up some time for me to just chill out. Not to mention, other than car…

Weekend Recap: I’m Coming For You, New Car!

Hello, and happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend! I was hoping that on today’s weekend recap I would officially be able to declare myself a proud owner of a new car, but I’m not quite there yet! It was a nerve-wracking weekend, but I’m thankful that it ended on a positive note with something to look forward to (more on that in a minute) rather than in total despair and starting the…

January 2018 Book Report

Happy Friday, friends! Read any good books lately? I sure haven’t. January proved to be a real “dud” month for me with books, and I apologize in advance if my two reviews come off aggressively whiney, but I was pretty let down by my selection. I’m wondering if it’s because I was coming down off of the Harry Potter high after reading books one through seven back-to-back, and then immediately…

2018 Hot Chocolate 15k Race Recap

I am super late on getting this up, but here’s my recap for the Hot Chocolate 15k my Dad and I ran a couple of weeks ago! It was our 5th year running it (3rd year doing the 15k route), and they gifted us some really cool “legacy” gifts this year! Part of our swag bag included an attachment to our race bib that said we were legacy runners, as well as an additional medal, AND a super cool beanie!…

Weekend Recap: Trail Running & Casual Wizardry

Hello, and happy Monday! I apologize for ghosting this blog the past few days. Remember how last Monday I started complaining about problems with my car again? Well, earlier this week my car officiallydied, so I spent most of my time dedicated to new car research and stress crying. My mom was kind enough to loan me her car for the next couple of weeks until I go purchase a car this Saturday, so…

Hello and happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend! I’m hoping for a much better week as last week for me was pretty stressful! Work was much more stressful than usual, and then on my way home from work on Wednesday, my car thought it would be hilarious to relive this moment, and mysteriously die on me while I was at a stoplight. After a couple of minutes, the engine finally turned and I…

It’s the second race recap of the year, and coincidentally another Run Project sponsored run! My Dad and I ran the Too Cold to Hold 5k this past Sunday at Norbuck Park in Dallas! The race also offers 10k and a half marathon routes. Historically speaking, I take the WORST photos of this race each year (see here and here) and this year was no exception. In my defense, the only pictures worth…

Weekend Recap: I Extreme Home Makeover’d My Closet!

Hello, and happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Mine was full of a lot of dog walking, and in a dramatic twist, a giant purge of clothes! More on that a little later…

Poor Brinkleigh

(In classic Mallory fashion, I took zero photos of my Friday, but I did take this obnoxious Instagram video of Brinkleigh. Please enjoy the above link.) I kicked off the weekend by getting…
