I obvs got a pic of the mini horsies

When the parade was over, we visited the tiny market fair, where I scored a few purchases:
From Epicure Selections:

Then, from a local boutique:

A few wonderful smelling Tyler candles

My friend Nicole spotted these because they are made in Texas where she used to live! We agreed its always exciting to make American/hometown discoveries here in Canada- it makes us feel closer to home! 🙂

I can’t wait to burn these and have the house filled with pretty smells!

On the way home, I had to snap this pic because it made me laugh

Haha, C-Train. Is anyone else laughing at this? A chuckle, perhaps?

This AM, I enjoyed some pancakes in bed while watching some shows on my iPad. Both the dog and the dude were sleeping.

This is the life.

…and I’m headin out to go live some more of it!

Ps: we had tequilas and tacos for dins last night- our fave.

Pps: Tyler bought me clubs yesterday while I was out! How awesome is that?!

Ppps: happy father’s day, dad!

Pppps: Layla is currently molesting what’s left in the sunflower butter jar. It’s kind of hilarious. Hope it doesn’t result in some ranky toots!

Top of the mornin’ to ya, folks!

It is finally the end of the week (let’s all pause to do a collective ‘phewwww’).

I have no workout for you today (but if you want one, check out my Workouts page!!!) partly because my body is dead. More specifically, my right hamstring. I don’t think I have ever pulled a hammy in my life until today. Cray-balls. But, I still want to get in some sort of activity since I plan on throwing back a few brewskies with T-t-t-tyler tonight.

Instead of a workout post, or a recipe (which I gave you last night) I thought I would provide a few bits of entertainment.

1. This video art is hilarious. I don’t know if it was better with the musical accompaniment, but I was laughing my little ass off.

2. Make this pizza this weekend. If you are like Jessica (and me) then you should make two and force your man to indulge as well. Hey man, I made you food. And it has meat in it. The other ingredients should be minor details for you and therefore you should eat it. Otherwise, there is a comfy looking couch over there that may become your new bed.

3. Ok, now I feel guilty. No workout post, but a pizza post?! That’s cruel. So, while your pizza is baking away, try this workout. It’s quick and easy. And you’ll sweat. And then be tempted to eat another piece of pizza..

We interrupt this post for some SUPER SAD news:

I hand washed my 2 new pink Lululemon pieces last night. And, well…

Actually, the bleeding was the least of my worries. The worst part was that the sweat from my workouts while wearing them STAINED. As in, my Wunder Unders permanently display swass and my tank shows awful back and ab sweat. I was torn apart last night. So much money spent on 2 pieces and both are ruined. You bet your bippy I emailed AND tweeted to Lululemon about my problems.

Enough of my ranting..I have an episode of What Not to Wear to watch.

 

If you want something that lasts..

I decided to post this pancake recipe TONIGHT in case it may come in handy for anyone’s breakfast tomorrow!

Protein Oat Pancakes

  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup greek yogurt
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • dash of milk (I used Coconut Milk to moisten the mixture- you may not need to)

Directions

This is really pretty easy. Mix all the ingredients. Pour desired amount on hot skillet. Flip. Eat.

I topped mine with a drizzle of honey


Not pictured is the dallop of sunflower butter I used every few bites or so. These two cakes left me full for hours. I was able to bust out the workout I posted earlier, and I had energy to spare!

Speaking of energy, I attended the Global Energy Career Expo downtown today to see if there was any chance someone was looking to offer this American a job.

I talked to a few different companies- some of which were too small to bother with LMO’s (Labor Market Opinions, the process for which a foreigner can acquire a job) and others just referred me to their website to upload my resume. Kind of a downer, but at least I tried.

Just an FYI: If you read my posts through an e-mail subscription or Google Reader, click over to my site- it changed! Pretty, huh?!
