Having a full time job really makes summer not feel like summer. Lucky for me, I requested a week off in August. Back in January I thought it would never come and here I sit at my parents house in Easton.
My vacation kicked off with a somewhat spontaneous trip to Baltimore. My roommate and I headed up to Charm City around 6:30 met up with some friends and then headed over to Rams Head for the
Baltimore edition of Made in America. I honestly couldn't even tell you who performed. The scene was much more relaxed then the week before for Big Gigantic in DC. The Budwieser's were flowing for free and the crab cakes were fresh. I even had a shell in my crab cake which made me smile. Once we all were intoxicated we decided to venture over to Mad River in Fed Hill and danced the night away. It was so great to be back in Baltimore even if it was for only a few short hours. We ended up venturing back to the District around 4:30 AM.
Saturday morning I woke up not feeling too great but knew I needed to get to Easton sooner than later. During my packing extravaganza I wondered how many calories were in a Budwieser. Yes, these are the things I think of
Once I was all packed and fed (bacon and eggs) I made my way to the Eastern shore after stopping at the Annapolis mall to exchange some shorts and Starbucks to keep me awake. Starbucks ended up having a promotion that after 2 pm you could bring you receipt to any Starbucks and get a refill $2. Well once I got home, I chatted it up with my 2 Aunts who were in town and took Starbucks up on their offer. I have never had two coffees in a day but it was much needed.
when hungover. A 12 oz. Budwieser turns out to be 145 calories. A Budlight isn't even that much better. Budlight is a whopping 110 calories per 12 ounces. Talk about empty calories. And for you Cider lovers *cough Emily cough* one Angry Orchard is an insane 210 calories!!!

After dinner I headed to my friend's birthday party. I had so much fun that Sunday I laid in bed all day and slept. Monday I couldn't take it anymore and headed out for a run. My phone was dead and I left my charger at the party so I had no music or tracker. I run the same route at home so I know it was
about a mile and boy was it hot! The humidity here is rough! I kind of enjoyed running with out music though. After I got a little cardio in I went to a friends to layout.
Tuesday I planned on waking up and running but realized I had forgotten my running shoes at my friends (I am very forgetful). I rolled back over only to be woken by my dear mother asking if I wanted to go out for lunch. Of course my answer was yes so I jumped out of bed and got ready. For lunch we went to Oxford and ate at The Masthead. I had a softcrab BLT which was delicious. I swapped out the ranch for their homemade sweet corn vinaigrette. After lunch I napped all afternoon. Didn't even get up for dinner. I know I know whats wrong with me!
Today I got back into it though. I woke up and snuck into the gym. Since I hadn't lifted in days I did all three circuits. While working out, a lady came up to me and asked where I got my workouts from. It's so humbling when people come to you for advice. It's one of the reasons I created this blog.
