I've liked the rain this much and want more

I completed another 3 miles on Saturday morning. It was very nice on Saturday morning because the sun was covered with clouds and well, I was in the mood to run. Although, the night before, my friend Priscilla insisted we go to Benders (a bar off of ben white) to drink some. I ended up having about 4 drinks total...mostly Fireman's 4. Twas tasty but it was super hard to finish those 3 miles in a timely manner that I was used to. In the end, I did alright. It was a good morning and my friend Priscilla even came and jogged some and walked. She is super sore from what I read in her text. Ha. She is on a mission to lose weight and although there were times she was cursing at me when I told her to walk faster, she was appreciative that I was pushing her.

Cool moments of the weekend:

• Sitting at Nueces and 6th while waiting for the light to change, I was able to see Michael Phelps win his 8th gold medal. I watched people at the Star Bar cheer at a 52inch flat screen tv as I clapped my hands and missed the light change anyway. It was super cool to see him come in first. Good job, Michael!
• Hearing the rain last night and even driving in it. Seems like when it rains here in Austin, everyone stays inside and doesn't come out. The streets were dead even last night as I left the laundry mat.
  
• Getting to speak to my cousin Angel who had been in Iraq for years. We spoke about cool Austinities we know and how she wants to come visit me soon. She hates Hondo and can't wait to move back to Austin soon. She says she misses the night life.
  
• Tax-free weekend. So far the 2 pairs of Dickies and blouses I have purchased are good buys and were definitely needed for work. Now I just gotta get some cool shoes while I can.
• Staying home on Saturday night and watched the rest of the dvd I got from Netflix on the Best of Colbert Report.
  
• Purchasing 4 cd's (3 used and 1 new): Foals, Appleseed Cast, Boxcar Racer, and The White Ghost Shivers. All for less than 20 bucks! Yay for Waterloo.
• Getting a Virgin de Guadalupe small figurine from the 25cent coin machine at the dollar store then right after getting a Jesus one. I am adding it to my collection of Homies.
  
• Changing my air filter in my car with the help of my friend Priscilla
• Getting in touch with a Realtor to really begin looking for a home here in Austin for a year or so in advance. She has started sending me emails on homes/condos in my price/salary range.
• Typing and submitting my 30day notice that I will be moving by Sept 30th to my apartment complex. I am giving a month and a half notice!
  

Uncool things of this weekend:

• Doing my laundry on a Saturday night at Spin Cycle. I felt like a loser but was relieved to see other people there doing the same thing that were probably a little cooler than me.
  
• Unanswered texts from my friend Marcos especially when I needed to know while at Waterloo if an older album was worth getting by Appleseed Cast for $8.
  
• Being asked to borrow $20 by a drug dealer I know from the bar I frequent after I had just purchased myself a Heineken.
  
• Having to watch the Olympics while at the laundry mat. (got to see the end of the women's marathon! that was cool!)
• Allergies....my nose is pist off and doesn't want to sneeze when it needs to.
  
• General cleaning of the apartment. Too much dust collects everywhere.
  
• Still not having internetings in my apartment. I need to get something going soon!
