This morning Vegas woke us up around 5am running around the house. We figured he was just in a crazy mood and yelled at him to stop.
He didn’t.
Then, we heard a little squeak and went to investigate his party in the closet. He caught a little bird!! Bad bad cat.
He/she wasn’t bleeding and seemed somewhat okay, but his wing seemed weird. We put it in a shoebox and waited until the vet was open to get him some help.![]()
Vegas is obviously grounded.
Then I got ready for my run. I tried my New Balance watch finally. I need to figure out how to use it because I messed it up at some point. I know I did 15 miles because I was running my fave route. ![]()
After my run I went to go see my favorite bird lover – Melissa!
She is moving to Peru for 3 months on Monday and we wanted to meet up before she left. It’s weird that I only see her a few times a year, but I’m bummed she’ll be so far. Have a blast Melissa <3![]()
We met at Whole Foods and I got some eggs and a chocolate chip scone for my post-run meal.![]()
I don’t know why, but I’ve been craving a scone. Random, but delicious. ![]()
We took a little walk around the neighborhood and then returned to Whole Foods for some exploration.
I found The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies in the World! ![]()
But, I didn’t get them since I already had the scone. Next time. ![]()
I also grabbed a salad for lunch. WF is my favorite restaurant. ![]()
We parted ways and I ran a few errands completely stinky before coming home for a shower. What? It was the most efficient way.
After my shower I hit the couch to watch the Olympic Trials and fell asleep. Nap was in order I guess!
Okay, not sure what else in on the agenda for today I just realized I’m super late to a BBQ. I better get it together.
See ya later ![]()

If you REALLY want to try the best chocolate chip cookie, go to Specialty’s and get the wheat germ oatmeal DARK chocolate chip. To die for. AND if you are really a good customer (and a nag) they will give you the recipe – the key to which is to chill the dough overnight before cutting it into cookies and baking …. yeah, right!
Wow, 15 miles – that’s awesome!!! I ran 11 miles today and it’s kicked my arse!!
WF is my absolute favorite restaurant too. Your salad looks nearly identical to the ones I always get. I think they should have a frequent rewards card or something because I, well, frequent WF Salad bar. All. The. Time. I actually went to the movies last night and while others might sneak in candy they found cheaper elsewhere, I snuck in a WF’s salad. My favorite thing that comes in a box…
Love your blog!
I had a coconut & ginger scone a few weeks ago. It was so good! Better than a cookie. At least on that day!
Hope the bird is doing better! My brother’s cat is unfortunately a serial bird killer… only about 10% of the time do we find the birds live in the house. Oh and we tried putting bells on him. Only made him a better hunter agh!
Dang it, I have never been to Whole Foods. What is wrong with me? Hope you had fun at your BBQ. And… What is this thing you call a nap? Ha.
So how is the bird?
I don’t know?! We gave it to the shelter.
looks like your watch is just in kilometers, should be an easy fix!
It was great finally being able to see you yesterday!
I really wish we had a whole foods closer where I live, it would be my favorite restaurant too. I guess the bird learned a lesson for sure.
There aren’t any Whole Foods near me, but on the plus side my computer’s letting me read your blog again! Whoo hoo!
A. I can’t believe you didn’t get that cookie!!!
B. When I run errands post stink workout, I always think of the people sweating at the beach, then going to eat at a restaurant before a shower.. same thing right?
When I was little, my sister’s cat murdered my pet bird. It was horrible. I remember I was hysterical…it was my fault because I had let the cat in my room!
Poor birdy!
What a cute birdie! I love wholefoods, they’re great
I think maybe your watch was in km. Good luck!
Ha! Yes it was, but I also messed it up toward the end.
I don’t mind running errands stinky. If I’m already close to where I need to go, there is no point in going home, showering, and back tracking. I guess other people may mind, though.
Is it weird that reading about an injured bird and eating eggs in the same post weirds me out a little? Hahaha. Glad the bird’s ok!
I joggled a 1/2 marathon this weeking and my legs feel like they’re falling off at the hip.
About this Melissa gal—You wouldn’t have her email address so I can drop her a line, do ya?
