Labor Day weekend = a 4 day weekend for me. It was great. Friday was spent with a lot of waiting and getting packed for Kansas City for Caitlin’s birthday weekend. We left around 3pm, way later than I would like, but we made the 7 hour drive up there. We hit rain and traffic in St. Louis – it was awful. We made a stop in Columbia, you know I had to visit the Mizzou bookstore for a few items, grabbed a quick bite to eat and we were off again. We made it around 11 and were beat.

Saturday was supposed to be a run = FAIL! It rained ALL day. We hung around the house and grabbed some lunch.

We started the night off at The Well, watched Mizzou Football and then headed for the trolley. This is a neat concept since you just pay $10 and it will take you to any bar around town. Therefore, no worrying about who will drive home or paying a ridiculous cab fare to get home. Here are a few pictures from the night. We had so much fun and I can’t wait to visit again or hangout with these girls in Columbia!

Sunday, we booked it home. Minus the little stop at Whole Foods. We seriously went to Whole Foods in Kansas City and St. Louis. A bit ridiculous. Anyways, we were having a couple over for dinner that night and had to start cooking. We had sausage pinwheels, cream cheese with red pepper jelly and set up a pizza bar. We had flatbreads with 2 different sauces and a ton of toppings so we could all create our favorite pizza. While we ate, we watched What to Expect When You’re Expecting, which is a super cute movie. They brought Chocolate Covered Strawberry Pie, it was delicious and we finished the night off. It was a good get together.

Monday, we had my parents over and um kind of had them over for dinner with the same pizza concept. I know, it sounds lazy. I also made manicotti and went ahead and made lunch for this week, which consisted of vegetable quinoa and edamame succotash – Whole Foods inspired. Fail at taking any sort of pictures.

The month of September, I will be focusing on RUNNING. The MARATHON is a month away! EEK!
