What an eventful week it has been! And very exciting, too!
I was super excited to see my Uncle Pete, I truly enjoy his company. He looks out for me and imparts so much helpful information its hard to not want to spend more time with him and hope it will all sink in through osmosis or something.
He got in on Monday and we went to dinner at The Fort in Morrison - finally using the $100 gift certificate I won a while back. It was an interesting little place that was clearly confused in its identity... It had all sorts of different foods like bison, quail, duck, lamb, etc, but a lot of it had a mexican twist, but it was very high-end and fancy... just strange. Then they must just want you to spend forever there -- they bring you just a booze and app menu. Once you order and food has been put in then they will bring you the entree menu, and continues like that. Oh and they seriously need to better describe their food temps -- med rare looked freshly butchered... even I cannot do that. But overall pretty great night.
Wednesday night I cooked for him at my place -- totally butchered the rice pilaf because I was in a hurry... rice is one of those really obnoxious foods... maybe one day I will just invest in a rice cook and be done with it. Uncle Pete had won Pearl Jam tickets at the Pepsi Center. We had amazing seats!! And it was a THREE hour show of just Pearl Jam rocking out. So freaking great! I was very impressed, it was a great time.
Thursday we had lunch together and I need to remember the name of the bourbon he was drinking because I need more of that in my life NOW lol. It was so nice to get so much time with my uncle. I definitely need to go visit him soon, especially since I have yet to see him new place, many years later. It is pretty awesome to have a mentor who is also a family member, I am pretty blessed.
Thursday night I went to the Broncos game. I can finally check an NFL game off my bucket list and we definitely did it right with Club level seats, it was really a great time! Minus the fight that ensued afterwards in the parking lot... and subsequent hospital visit. Thankfully not for me, but still. All in all, though, I would say it was a pretty damn awesome night!
Friday night I kicked some serious butt at washers as Paula's house. I miss her and Brad... my Colorado parents haha. They are so great. They are so giving -- I mean Brad cooked 10 pounds of wings and got to eat ONE! And was totally stoked about it. They are so adorable.
On other notes: I am doing a pretty great job of keeping up with my exercise. Been to the gym 3-4 times a week and usually walk or something else at least one more day a week. My gym membership came with a challenge to make it to the gym 36 times in the first 90 days and I will get Jan - March free... so you bet your butt I am determined to make that happen.
I am failing at maintaining my nutrition schedule... so I have decided to adjust my goal tracker and pay myself for eliminating dairy. Additionally, I am going to try and only eat gluten 2-3 times a week, which I think is reasonable. So I will see how this acknowledgement and adjustment work out.
I am already for Halloween!! And cannot wait. Reading A LOT! Have another crazy week coming up, but am very excited for it.
Mind is clearly wandering now... guess its time to shut down, read a little more and head to bed.
Night all!! Keep a look out for a private message from me soon with some big news!
Lots of love!
OO YEAH! I forgot I got a car this weekend! Specialist Bush is the shit and traded me her car for a couple meals! Super excited about it all-- but more next time.
