I've always been really bad at watches. I've had multiple running watches but always end up leaving them in a drawer in the end because I can't figure them out. I don't get it -- I'm cursed. These days, I usually rely on the RunKeeper app on my hone to keep track of what I ran.However, there's another little toy that I didn't know I would love.

I didn't know it was a "brunch buffet" -- so I was a little disappointed. I'm a weirdo and just do not like buffet style meals for some reason.But we were there and so I went with it. We sat at a cute table by the open door patio right near a live band. I was in a funky mood so the music was actually a little too … [Read more...]
