Another great weekend in the books! Which also mean one week closer to going home..womp. Friday: Obviously the day started with pancakes! The consistency of these are way different than the ones I make at home..I now know just how awesome … Continue reading
Hi friends! Hope you had a great weekend. I have to take more pictures so I can remember what the heck I did over the weekend since everything seems to just blur together.
Friday:
After breakfast, Wes and I went for a 4ish mile walk. I tried to go on the bike path as much as I could since the city sidewalks are TERRIBLE. I generally try to walk when Wes needs to nap and he usually falls asleep before I’m even down the driveway, so a smooth ride is necessary!
When we got back, Wes stretched his legs out a bit in the jumperoo, I had lunch, and we went to the mall with my mom to pick up some stuff. (UM HELLO Quest bars are only $24/box here! I hate Canada for stupid high prices. And I was able to pick up some cherry Carmex chapstick because that’s the best stuff EVER)
Before getting back home, we had to make the mandatory stop at Rob and Deb’s for some soft serve. Their last day of the season was Sunday, so it was muy important I get some. I inhaled it in about .4 seconds.
The evening was pretty low key:
Saturday:
Super fail on my part- I took like ZERO pics on Saturday. From what I can remember of the morning, I was up at normal time with Wes to feed, then I had my own breakfast before my parents offered to take Wes for a walk. Do you know what that means? That means this lady went back to bed for a 90 minute nap. It was GLORIOUS.
I hung out with Wes the rest of the day- some naps/snuggles/feeds/walk then we all went out to run some errands. In the late afternoon, Wes and I went of to my friend Amy’s new house for her housewarming party. It was great to see her and her new place! Wes did great, too. We stayed for a few hours until Wes fell asleep (plus it was raining).
After getting home, I had leftovers for dinner, did my workout, bathed Wes, then went to bed.
SUCH AN EXCITING SATURDAY, I KNOW.
Sunday:
Happy Grandparents Day! We had mimosas to celebrate.
My Sunday brunch was accompanied by my favorite episode EVER of Friends. With a side of baby mat time. And some blog reading. PS: It’s the episode when Ross and Rachel get drunk in their hotel room in Vegas and get married. Ahhh hilarious.
It was pretty yuck weather out but my mom and I managed to squeeze in a walk before it poured. The rest of the afternoon/evening was pretty lazy. And then there was pie.
Before bed, I got my workout in and it was SWEATY. I’m embarrassed to admit this, but I didn’t realize it until I was humming Wes to sleep last night that the ABC song and Twinkle Twinkle are the same tune! Mind= blown.
Sidenote: my parents had the Miss America pageant on last night and was it just me or did all of the girls have the most whack walks during the swimsuit portion?!! I couldn’t handle it.
How was your weekend?
When
Hi guys! Unfortunately for the next couple of weeks you’re going to have to suffer through reading some ill-written posts (worse than the usual) because I only brought my iPad with me. I considered using my moms laptop, but that’s a death trap.
So the last few days have been fun! I got to the airport bright and early yesterday only to fall victim to an incredibly long customs line. Like, 3x the length it usually is. After making it through a long check in line, long customs line, security line and Starbucks line, I just made it on my flight. Only to sit at the gate for 45 minutes while they de-iced the plane. (couldn’t they have done that before we all got on board?!)
It was a full flight so they had been offering travel vouchers, yadda yadda. Well, the plane gods were with me at that moment because the middle seat in my row went unoccupied, sweet victory.
Because of the delay, I then had to SPRINT to my connecting flight. (No casual gate lunges for this girl). Then as luck would have it, the flight crew was late, so we sat on that plane for another hour before taking off.
Whatever. I was home by 4:30.
I hadn’t eaten all day because of all my rushing to wait on planes, so it was nice to have one of my old favorites
The Tropical Chicken Salad from the 99
I also swung by the famed local watering hole for a frosty beverage and some catching up with friends.
Today, I:
-wore one of my new pv.body outfits. Holy moly was it comfy. If you like what you see, click on that link and take the style quiz. After signing up, you’ll get 20% off! (But only through that link). I already posted a photo of the outfit on Instgram, but I’m gonna show you another that I took post-run on the treadmill we have in the basement. Note: this is the best mirror ever.
-did the designated workout from Best Body Bootcamp. It consisted of a strength circuit (with slow, concentrated movements). Rather than doing bursts of cardio between each set, I opted to hit the treadmill after running through 3 sets. I did a smooth 30 minutes while watching The Biggest Loser.
-went to Target!
-made chocolate chunk cookies
-made Crock Pot Santa Fe Chicken
(And by ‘made’ I meant that I basically made my parents make it. Hey, deciding what to make is half the battle!)
I am really excited for the next couple of weeks because I know it’s going to have a lot of fun things in store.
Starting with tomorrow. My lovely mother was kind enough to go to a bridal expo the other day and she found a really awesome DJ for the wedding. I have a meeting with him tomorrow (totally booking him) and then I’m off to Saratoga to try on my dress! Honestly, I love my dress and the place where I got it has provided the best service ever. So, to my upstate New Yorkers, head to Lily Saratoga for bridal stuff. Seriously. (The fitting has the potential to be followed by some shopping and lunching and drinking)
That’s it for now. I am exhausted!
