So let’s be honest – I don’t like that phrase (quick & dirty) – but that’s pretty much how this post is going to be, seeing as most of my time yesterday was spent high in the sky!

Quick & Dirty Fact 1:  I did not run 14 miles yesterday, as planned. I was tired, sick, and our hotel wasn’t in the best part of town.  Sure, you can say I’m full of excuses – but I’m going with it.  And lord knows my body thanked me for the extra time off!

Fact 2: For our last Austin meal, we tried to go to Moonshine (recommended by ya’ll as “fabulous brunch”) – but the line was down the street!   So we kept looking for a place were we could just grab a seat, and stumbled on Cru.

No wait?  I’ll take it.

It might have helped, too, that there were furry friends outside with us!  Austin seems SO dog friendly and I OBVIOUSLY love that!

P.S. – this dog was seriously GINORUMOUS. When it stood up, I swear it’s head was at my chest level (and I’m approximately “Amazon” height according to Mike)

First things first, I order a regular coffee, and got:

Don’t get me wrong, I love “fancy” dining – but when I’m used to downing 20oz+ of coffee a morning – this little 5 oz cup of sludge just didn’t cut it!

Apparently we all had our eye on the same menu item – because 3 out of the 4 of us ordered the Crab Omelet: Eggs with Asparagus, Crab, Cheese & Mushrooms (I OBVIOUSLY ordered mine without mushrooms!)

Very tasty – and I must say – the absolute PERFECT portion size for breakfast!  I ate all of it, and felt full, not stuffed to the gills!

I had to snag a picture of my MIL’s breakfast as well – how gorgeous does her Berry French Toast look?!

One last picture together – before Rachel and I left to catch our flights:

Fact 3: As for the rest of the day – it was fairly uneventful. Checked my bag, got a REAL cup of coffee, and caught my first flight.  My flight out of Austin was a little delayed, but nothing major, and when I landed in Chicago, I had just enough time to grab a quick bite to eat.

Chicago Midway Airport Veggie Pizza:

Filling, but gave me a stomach ache – should that really surprise me?

I finally got in at 9:30, and was greeted by my fabulous husband, and these two adorable faces

(This picture was actually taken last weekend, but really makes me laugh.  Just like always – Lando is sitting, staring, waiting for some sort of reward/treat, like a spoiled little princess, who knows she’s loved – And Harvey is frightened/scared of her own shadow.  I love my little rescue dog, she is such a sweet pea!)

Fact 4: Between Mike and the pups – I got LOTS of hugs and kisses yesterday!   I know my loved ones missed me!

Wanna know something funny? I leave again this Thursday, to go to Wilmington, NC, to do the whole Friday wedding thing all over again!  CRAZY!

Any one in Wilmington N.C. interested in meeting up?
