On the River

It's been a lovely bday week. Monday was work as usual and then I treated myself to a yoga class after. 

This was NOT stretchy stretchy ya ya... this was make you BURN and BALANCE!!

SUCH a pretty studio tho. The pods are for when they do aerial yoga... I have not been brave enough to do one of those classes.

Tuesday was work as usual and then since it was technically the start of my vacation, i got a burrito bowl and margarita to go from Torchys. Took it home and watched movies with the kitty cat. 😁

How they packed my margarita. Also had a sticker covering the straw hole 😁

Burrito bowl and Mexican candy margarita. SOOO GOOD!

Got myself a 4 ocean bracelet with a SHARKIE! Little tangible bday gift, that also cleans the ocean. 🦈

Wednesday I took off while hubbs worked. Took myself to brunch, had a massage and facial, got chicken lettuce wraps from pei Wei on the way home, and relaxed. 

Iced latte with amaretto and vanilla, and bfast bagel with egg, cheese, and sausage.

Then appt for massage and facial.

Before

After. The scalp massage was nice. Then i sat in the sauna at 140 F for about 15-20 mins, took a shower, and headed out. 

Dinner with Ace. Tho he was uninterested in anything but biting ME.

Pretty kitty

So mom gave me these a while ago, and i figured, meh, why not?

Turned out pretty good, really! Now all that is left is a pedi with the bestie 😁

Thursday hubbs and i headed south. 😁 the road trip wasn't bad, we just ran into one snarl of traffic outside of San Marcos. We met up with bestie and went to Round Table pizza, then a toy store that had a store cat (who bit my ankle, then did a jump onto my leg, bite, and jump away), then next door to a brewery where hubbs got a case of beer for $12, to the liquor store and then home! We ran out later to HEB for the rest of the drink making necessities.

Sleepy spice.

Friday we did a bookstore crawl to triple 6 Cafe and social club in San Marcos and a trip to the painted porch in Bastrop. It was a lovely little day trip of Gothic goodness, books, lunch, and brewery.

Bookstore cat 1 of 2! They don't like dogs and basically stalked one out of the store 😆

Around Bastrop 

Bastrop Amber

Cute eatery. We wandered around a bit, popped into a shop or 2 and then had a farewell drink at 602 brewery. (Not pictured, sammich and quesadilla from Cafe, salad and artichoke dip from Bastrop.)

Steely Dan brown ale

Its a cute little town!

Interesting flowers. We headed back to the condo to relax a bit before dinner.

We went to dinner at El Rio and your gal got a little overheated and sickly. Thankfully there wasn't an episode or anything, but my vision got a little blurry and I'm glad the bathroom had decent A/C. I camped out there for a while, and then was able to rejoin the table. Then we came back to the condo and went to bed. 

Saturday we woke and went to the new braunfels farmers market. 

Had a good time, had some mead, and then back to the river.

All were so good, we had to have one of each!

we harvested some veg from the garden, and ran off a bunch of these guys.

hubbs took this pic, he's been taking more lately. Lol

So many veggies!

Time to cool off in the river!! Not gonna lie, it was a HOT day.

Hubbs made us some drinkies. A Mango margarita and a lemon lime basil vodka drink. Both were delicious and strong. So we floated, drank, and enjoyed. We ordered in for dinner (burgers and fries) and watched movies until bedtime. I also got to talk to D in Korea, so all in all it was a great day.

Adult Capri sun 😊

As its Sunday, I'll go ahead and publish now with what we've been up to so far and next week you'll get the rest of the story. The bday week has been incredible and I feel super lucky to have such wonderful friends and family. I love you all so much, and I thank God for you!! ❤️❤️ take care of yourselves and don't forget the sunscreen!!
