Athens in Photogs, 2 Movie Reviews, 3.5 Miles

Oh Athens. How packed you get on big game day weekends. One in one out is not my idea of a good time. I spent more time waiting to order a drink then actually drinking. I was forced to hover above a port-a-potty – by far the nastiest one I’d ever encountered. I stumbled across not one but two people in different bars throwing up. In the sink. Did I have a good time regardless? I did! It was AWESOME to get to see so many of our friends, try out some new bars (minus puking patrons), get to know the city better, see Austin’s family, get to know his little bro’s girlfriend, etc. Tailgating was a blast, the game…. Eh... still a really good weekend.

Me with Austin and his parents, their friends the Sullivan's and his bro and his friend Alex

This made me laugh. ALL over this town girls were charging phones at bars.

Me and the girls!

Austin and the boys!

Me, Austin, Jamie and Candice! She was just diagnosed with swine flu - such a little soldier!

So Friday I didn’t take pictures of my house stuff mostly because the BIGGEST thing I set out to do I couldn’t accomplish (buying a rug). But I’m still on the hunt and as SOON as it gets here I will be taking many, many pictures!! I also didn’t take any pics that night but had fun with Andy/Mon/Candice/Jamie and their crew, before meeting up with Tyler (brother in law) and his girlfriend, and then Atlanta peeps. Great night! Just stayed up too late. I ended up at, give or take, 2,174 calories, 175 carbs, 63 fat grams and 108 protein grams. Here’s what I ate.

Saturday I got up and went down to the condo gym! I walked 2 miles, ran 1 mile, then walked a half mile burning 263 calories – woo! Great workout. I ran back up, showered, got ready and had lunch. Then it was off to tailgate all day – blast! Then I sent Austin off to the game and hung out with a couple who is still in school in AU (little baybays!) – Anne Marie and Adam. Good times yet again! While Auburn lost, I had a lot of fun!! Austin came to get me after the game, took me home and put me in bed at midnight (I could no longer hang for sure having been steadily drinking all. Day. long. He went out and woke me up at 3 when he got in. Lovely! Haha He brought pizza so I ate some. What is wrong with me? Hehe I ended up at 2,221 calories, 171 carbs, 37 fat grams and 90 protein grams. Here’s what I ate. I can say though: I had no tailgate food and nothing that I didn’t bring/make myself (except for that pizza). However, I had enough vodka to sink a small ship. Grrrr.

Sunday I woke up early feeling great, made breakfast for the group and we headed home on a beautiful day around 11 a.m. My stomach apparently hates vodka and began letting me know….I felt AWFUL the whole way home then spent the day feeling like I was going to die. DAMN YOU, VODKA. I did, however, watch two movies that I think will both stay with me. The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. Um, what was I thinking? It sounded SO good and I loved the idea of different perspective on the holocaust from an 8-year-old German soldier’s son. But then it was like a train wreck. You KNEW nothing good was coming and they gave you the worst possible scenario and you just kept. on. watching. Wow. I was stunned into silence. Then later came District 9. I was like aliens. Whatevs. Didn’t know a lot about it. Then I was BLOWN AWAY by how the story was told, the parallels with apartheid, xenophobia, etc. I just couldn’t get enough of it and so hope the sequel comes out so I can have more closure! By the end of both of these movies (which I give both a 5 out of 5 even though they’re tres different… although both essentially revolved around concentration camps...) I was an emotional wreck and couldn’t even sleep! Why do I do this to myself??! Anywho, I ended up at 1,334 calories, 188 carbs, 42 fat grams and 55 protein grams. Here’s what I ate.

Have you seen either of these movies? Do you want to?

Have you done any new things to your casa lately?! If so, what? If not, what do you want to do most?
