In July…

I think this may be the latest I’ve done my month-in-review blog post this year.  But better late than never!  July was choke full of fun in the sun, family, friends, food, and everything I love.

• I achieved my goal of running at least one mile every day in July.  I ended up running 52 miles and walking another 12 miles.  This is the most miles I’ve run in one month in a long while.
• I spent 12 hours 38 minutes exercising.  Third most hours this month in 2012.
• We took 751 photos. Love all the memories captured!
• Movies watched: Rock of Ages (in the theater), Larry Crowne, and various half movies on HBO.
• Went to Sushi Ota for the first time with Dejah and Roby. Had our first “omakase” experience and it was phenomenal and unforgettable.
• We mounted our TV above the fireplace and totally rearranged our family room. Looks so spacious now, and with more seating!
• Went to wine tasting at Addison at Grand Del Mar with Dejah & Roby. All chardonnays all the time!
• Stumbled upon and had Pauley’s NY style pizza for the first time. So good!
• Scrapped last couple of week of June for Project Life.
• Went to Point Loma Seafoods twice. Once by ourselves because we got the date with Cassi & Dan mixed up. Once with Peppermint, Tom, and Nicholas.
• Bought two used vertical file cabinets from a used office furniture store for our home office. We have way more filing space now!
• Todd got NCAA Football 2013 game and enjoyed playing it.
• Celebrated National Ice Cream Day by going to Baskin Robbins.
• Noodle celebrated his 2nd birthday by licking some Cheetos, his favorite!
• Gave away a bunch of stuff to Goodwill.
• Todd performed PC surgery on my new Alienware computer. Now I have all my applications installed on a solid state drive, and my data on a regular hard drive.
• Went to Slaters 50/50 for the first time for dinner with Cassi & Dan. I had a burger that was 50% beef and 50% bacon!
• I totally cleaned up, purged, and re-arranged my office at work. I still had papers from 1995!
• Peppermint and her family came to visit and stay with us. Peppermint & I met Liz and we spent the day together!
• While Peppermint and her family were here, we had In N Out Burger, went to the Zoo, had dinner on the sundeck of Hotel Del Coronado, had Moo Time ice cream, went shopping at outlet mall, made homemade salted caramel ice cream, ate at Burger Lounge, went to La Jolla to see seals, went to the Torrey Pines Gliderport, had Nothing Bundt Cakes, ate at Phil’s BBQ, and ate at Point Loma Seafoods. That was pretty much it.  :p
• Todd volunteered at Bark For Life for the 2nd time in two years.
• I had dinner with my childhood friend Kristie, whom I hadn’t seen in 30 years! 
• We went to my dad’s birthday party up in LA.
• I got to relive one of my happiest memories: seeing the Barenaked Ladies in concert. Saw them on 7/29 at Harrah’s Rincon Open Sky Theater and it was a blast.
• I spent less time at the computer and more time outside enjoying the summer.
