DOGGIE POOLS

This guy is tired of boxes and ready for Georgia (and to see Pete)...just like his Momma!

One thing his Momma is not ready for is the A/C bill to keep this guy cool enough in the Georgia summer heat...that fur is definitely staying buzzed and we might be investing in Chubbs' own kiddie pool (doggie pool?).

If you didn't know Chubbs was a dog before reading this, you'd think I have a child...I pretty much do.

WEEKEND

The weekend; the much-needed weekend. But goodbyes are starting, and that's tough.

We had a wonderful birthday/goodbye dinner at Pietros on Friday night. Complete with a champgane toast...(I have some awesome friends in my life!)

The girls
(Melissa, Heather, and Tiff)

We had a sleepover after dinner because we were waking up bright and early for the 92.5 XTU Anniversary Show.

I was suuuuuuper excited about this. Probably a little too excited. It's just a big free concert that the local country station puts on every year, but you have to win tickets and I've never won. Luckily, my last year in philly, Melissa won four tickets and I got to go!! So we got there early, had time to tailgate and hangout, then enjoyed the live music. My personal favorite? Chris Young. Oh yeah, he's good. We left before Miranda (the headliner), but that was fine by me, I didn't want to ruin the Chris-Young-goodness that played in my head on the ride home.

The girls at our cute little tailgate spot.

Our friends, AJ and Benny.





In honor of my Austinites...live music and PBR...nothin' like it.

Sunday it was back to packing all day. Sad stuff after such a great weekend. But it's getting down to the wire and I have to finish! Nine days and counting :)

CHIA LOVE

 

I don't think I've expressed my love for Kombucha, yet, but there's a lot of it. Love that is. My favorite is the multi-green and I try to buy it when I can, but at $3.69 a bottle, it can quickly become an expensive habit.

Jump now to Chia Seeds. I also don't think I've expressed my love for this mighty little powerhouse of a seed. And yes, I know you're all singing "ch-ch-ch-chia!" in your head, it is the same seed. Weird, I know. They're so good for you, though, in so many ways. Especially for athletes and hydration. Read about them here.

Recently, or at least recently to me, Kombucha has started a line where they add Chia to their Kombucha. And it is SO GOOD!!

I've had the raspberry and grape flavors so far and have cherry waiting in the fridge for a taste test. Since I'm not typically a cherry fan, I think raspberry will remain my favorite.

If you can get past the consistency of chia and swallowing little seeds whole, I highly recommend trying this new Synergy. It's a great way to keep yourself hydrated as we approach these scorching summer months.

Enjopy your Saturday!

HE'S AN ENERGIZER BUNNY

First of all, how cute is my nephew?!?

I got to visit him and his little sister a couple weeks ago, and he is the sweetest little man. But let me tell you, I thought I was in shape...until I had to keep up with this energizer-bunny of a 2-year-old; he has got some energy!

New workout plan? Visit the nieces and nephews more often! :)

And he definitely knows how to make his Aunt Kara melt and wrap her around his little finger. I'm such a sucker for the cuteness.
