Randos from the Week

Just some random pictures from the week. I have been banned from the land this weekend. Dad is digging up stumps and burning. Let's face it, I don't need to be exposed to Poison Ivy fumes.

I have ran errands for him and shopped for appliances today.

I saw this at Marshall's and thought it was funny. It so describes my extended family.

A couple of nights a week I ask for a chocolate martini.

They are so yummy and a good way to curb a sweet tooth without a lot of fat.

Perla picking the leftover tuna out of my salad. yes, my cat eats table scraps. Chicken is her favorite.

Hatfield enjoying some peanut butter.

I let the dogs take turns licking the leftover peanut butter out of the jar.

Another one of Kev's views. This is the Arkansas River.

Ballyseede Castle

Tralle was a good stopping point from Dingle to Doolin. When looking for places to stay I came across the Ballyseede Castle Hotel. It was a little pricey, but since we had such great deals on all of the other B&Bs, I splurged. It's one of the best known Castle Hotels in Ireland, has a history dating back to the 1590’s and sits on 30 acres of native woodlands. The castle has 23 en-suite bedrooms and 3 beautiful private rooms complimented by enchanting formal gardens. To read about the history of the castle click here. We stayed in the Coghill room. We had a nice view of the gardens. Here are other pictures from inside the castle. We had to have our picture made with the knights. We Googled and found a restaurant in town that was supposed to be delicious. It was nestled on the shore overlooking the bay. We arrived about 5:30 and watched the sunset. The food was fabulous, however the service was not. ...

Pool Time!

We spent the weekend at our friends' pool. We took the dogs with us Sunday so they could have a play date. M and B have to pit bulls that are so sweet. Nahla, the youngest one, loves to play! They were also puppy sitting the cutest beagle ever! They absolutely love going places! They were waiting in the car while I was loading our things. I've never been able to get Hatfield in the pool, but Lilly loves it. She started off just sitting on the steps and one day she just jumped in. So, now she jumps in every now and then to cool off. Kev mixed up refreshing peach mojitos (I guess I've had major peach craving lately) this weekend. I'd share the recipe but that's his job. I never really know what all goes into what I'm drinking. I just know it's delicious!

The Crud

I feel like crud! I've blown my nose so much this weekend that my face is raw and red. I can't imagine how I have this much snot in me. Anyways. I didn't get my Thursday 3 miler in or my 9 mile long run this weekend. How can I run when I can't freaking breathe?!? I've been taking medicine and using my Nettie Pot, so here's hoping I feel like running towards the end of this week. So glad this is a short work week and a field trip on Wednesday. I NEED a break!!

In This Crazy Life...
