Weekend recap

Hi! Life has been in the way of blogging, so I hope you’ll pardon the absence.

Tyler came home with a surprise on Friday:

The game takes pics of you while you are playing, and we got some GOOD ones… Now I just have to figure out how to retrieve them so I can share on here! You’ll laugh. You’ll want Tyler and I to be the couple you hang out with. The fun couple.

After, we consumed a butt-ton of tacos and terrible beer

(I bought it because it had a tag on it saying it was one of the store’s favorites. The verdict: barf)

Layla indulged in a big ol’ treat

As I was attempting to take the above picture, this happened

She’s a sneaky sneaky!

Yesterday we feasted on French toast

Then drove to see the Foothills Dream home

There’s a raffle here in Calgary for the local hospital and the grand prize is this dream home. When we got to the area, we had to park then wait for a shuttle to take us to the home. Omg it was gorgeous! I just want the master suite and the entertainment room and I’d be happy! Please check out the link I provided so you can see pics of the inside- it really is drool worthy.

After we were humbled by that huge house, we headed to Five Guys (Tyler’s never had it!) and once again feasted

Fast forward a bunch of hours (consumed with napping) and we decided to take a family walk to Safeway to get something for the BBQ (yes, all we do is eat in this household)
On the way home, Layla tugged a little too hard and my ankle got trapped in a little hole in the sidewalk and I bing-bang-bamboozled (also known as twisted) my ankle. Ugh, I have had too many problems with my feet in my life (twice broken foot and 25686433548383 sprains ad strains). Bad dog, Layla, bad dog.

We had hot dogs and grilled corn on the cob. No pic because I ate it too fast. Caesars on the side

20120429-153448.jpg

Today has been filled with cleaning, immigration paperwork and a hop/walk with Layla. My belly is recovering from yesterday, so no food to recount from today….yet 😉

I had to take another day off from working out today because of the ankle. It’s been really hard on me trying to keep the same standard of workouts that I had while in Boston. I have put on weight and have just been overall down about the whole ordeal. Tyler does his awesome duty as my man by telling me not to worry and I’m beautiful and all that, but I can’t help but feel guilty for not keeping my bootay in shape! I am taking the rest of the day to enjoy with my wonderful man, then it’s back to the grind tomorrow some serious sweat sessions!

Get this party (not really a party) started

Kabobs for dinner last night

20120427-151848.jpg

BOOM.

Ran errands LIKE A BOSS

20120427-151949.jpg

BAM.

Layla’s fat and happy

BOOM SHAKALAKA

Let’s get this Friday started
thank Jesus I sweat my badonkadonk off today at the gym!

Things I’m loving

Today has been B to the USY! I spent a ton of time trying to complete an application for the immigration office, then when it came time to pay, their server was down so I had to go to the bank, have them issue me a receipt of payment, scan it to my computer and upload that in addition to the application. They are just trying to make this as difficult as possible for me!!

I got my credit card today! Ok, it’s really Tyler’s, but I got a copy with my name on it. HOLLA!

I bought more dog food, and a special pack of treats for Layla…they’re locally made!

I also finally stopped in Cobs Bread and got a loaf of Chia Whole Wheat Bread.

20120426-132524.jpg

Grocery store for the essentials.

And I still have to finish the laundry, clean the kitchen, cook dinner and get to the gym.
Text conversation with mom this morning sums it up:

Haha, honestly I can’t stop laughing at it. Please clink on the link to watch it. Maybe I’m on a guac n sals high, but it’s funny.

7) Saying “Boom Shakalaka” for no apparent reason.

What are you guys loving this week?

Bright and sunny Monday

Don’t worry, everyone- I’ll post about this past weekend soon! There’s just so much to show and tell and I’ve yet to have the time to get it all together! In the mean time, I can show you some other pics:

I made some healthy strawberry scones for breakfast

20120423-171121.jpg
Te recipe can be found here. I didn’t make the yogurt sauce, nor did I do the egg wash or sugar on top, and I used applesauce instead of oil. The verdict: delicious!

I went to the jeweler to visit my diamond this morning! The ring Tyler gave me this weekend is not the real thing (he wanted to make sure I liked it before he had the real diamond placed in the setting) so I went to check it out, get sized, and give the OK to put my real one together!

I took Layla in the car with me because it’s beautiful outside and we went downtown to walk along the river.

20120423-171532.jpg

We walked across the new bridge (one of many bridges we crossed today)

20120423-171609.jpg

Then we looped around, crossed another bridge, and went up a hill. Here is a view of the bridge- and you can see just how far we walked!

20120423-171717.jpg

Back by the river, my embarrassment of a dog decided to go in the water, lay in it, and not come out. People were laughing. Other dogs were behaving. I was mortified.

20120423-171830.jpg

20120423-171837.jpg

I got real sketchy back at the parking lot because I saw a group of girls doing my favoritist thing ever: planks. If I didn’t have Layla with me, I would have joined them! (Athena, I thought of you!)

20120423-172215.jpg

I’m now burnt, I have cleaned the house, and friends are on their way over for a gumbo dinner!

See ya later!

Public Tranny

Poor Layla has such a tough life. I just really wouldn’t want to be in her shoes.

I mean, really. Look how hard she has it.

No opposable thumbs! Blizzards are hard to eat without thumbs!

And this..

Watching TV upside down! (Well, I don’t suppose she has to watch it upside down, but still)

I don’t know how she will manage without me today. Honestly.

Why without me, you ask? Because I am headed downtown for a meeting with Tyler then coffee with Nicole! The worst part- I am taking public transportation. I am cringing just writing it. Eww.

I’ve spent a considerable amount of time trying to decipher this gem of a map

All I’ve gathered so far is that I am somewhere on the left and I need to get somewhere on the right.

Wish me luck..
