Marvelous Monday

Good morning, everyone! How was your weekend and what's up for today? 

My weekend was good even though I didn't do a whole lot. Friday, I met H for our weekly sushi date and then when we got home he promptly fell asleep on the couch. 

Saturday, I got up and went for a really relaxing massage! It was lovely. I got home and showered and then read more of my book (Dublin Murder Squad #3) which I eventually finished yesterday morning and it was SO good. When H got home from work we were both starving but lazy so we went to our local Mexican place for a late lunch/early dinner. We spent the rest of the night relaxing. 

Yesterday, I made pancakes for breakfast and then H and I got to work organizing the basement. We still have a ton of stuff in boxes from when we moved over a year ago and it all needs to get sorted before our neighborhood yard sale but we made some good progress! We also swapped TVs around in the house and now have the 50" from the downstairs guest room in our bedroom which is AWESOME and the smaller one from our bedroom is now in the upstairs guest room with a Blu-ray player so that I have a space for working out..... 

.....which is what I did this morning! I woke up at 4:15 when H was leaving for work and did T25 day 1 (cardio). It was definitely rough after several months of zero activity and at one point I kind of wanted to puke but I didn't give up so that's something! It's a 10-week program so I'll be finishing up right at the end of May, perfect for summer! 

Today is my aunt's birthday and my family and I are surprising her with dinner at a yummy Italian restaurant tonight. I'm looking forward to a delicious dinner and seeing my family! 

That's enough rambling for one Monday....

Re: Marvelous Monday

  • @southernpeach89 I love it and I hate it... But I love it more. That wine guy sounds like a total ass... Talk about ruining a dinner!
  • I forgot the questions!

    What foods are you planning to eat today?  I just had a blueberry poptart. Will probably have a yogurt and shake for lunch and fajitas for dinner.
    Favorite alcoholic beverage? I'll go with lemon drop martini
    Favorite non-alcoholic beverage? Water. If I had to pick something besides water it would be Coke.
    Favorite kind of cake? LEMON
    Favorite kind of cookie? It depends. Can't go wrong with classic choc chip though.
    Would you prefer to give up dessert, booze, or pasta? Ummm. I literally could not live without pasta so definitely not that. I think I'd have to go with booze :(
     




  • @Hummingbird125 Congrats!! Another boy NEY baby! Have you guys talked about names? Are you sharing or keeping the name a surprise when you decide?
     




  • @PamBeesly524 - Sounds like a nice weekend! H and I stopped in NH a couple years ago when we did a New England roadtrip. It was both of our first time there and it was beautiful! 

    @southernpeach89 - So glad your H's interview went well! The guy at the restaurant sounds like such a dick. I'm glad your dinner was still yummy! 

    @lavenderfields13 - I had a really terrible massage right before my wedding. I thought I'd made it clear that I didn't want him digging for gold in my back, regardless of any knots I might have. I just wanted a gentle massage so I could relax a little bit. He fucking fought with me over it half the time, I complained about him to the front desk, and didn't tip him. He was terrible! H and I watch Flip or Flop ALL the time!

    @hummingbird125 - YOU'RE MY BOY, BLOOB! I'm so happy that he's healthy and so excited for you guys! 



  • @Hummingbird125 - Do you have any photos of the gender reveal cake you can AW??  And congrats on bloob being a BOY!!!!  
  • @CocoBellaF - I've tried it before and like it! I love short workouts so it's right up my alley. 

    @500days - Oooooooh! Thank you for reminding me that I have an early close on Thursday and off on Friday! 



  • @swazzle have fun at dinner with your family! We moved a tv into our room over the weekend as well, but last night we didn't want a tv in the bedroom.  So now it'll be moved to the guest room.  

    @PamBeesly524 you brought some maple syrup home too, right?!  I brought bourbon maple syrup back from Vermont and have used it sparingly because it is so good we don't want it to run out haha

    @hummingbird125 congrats again on baby boy bloob!!

    This weekend was low key.  We ended up not going skiing because my mom sent me pictures and it looked like water skiing. So most of the weekend was spent deep cleaning and doing laundry.  Saturday I visited my dad at his store, where my sister was helping out. Emmy was being an alien baby so I was mesmerized by my sister's belly.  Yesterday was free Rita's and since there is one right next to my house, my sister and BIL came to visit.  

    What foods are you planning to eat today? 
    Breakfast - Oats with apples and cinnamon
    Lunch - pasta in a lemon wine sauce, apple, orange
    Dinner - either leftovers or might make penne vodka

    Favorite alcoholic beverage?
    Disaronno 

    Favorite non-alcoholic beverage?
    Sweet Tea or Water

    Favorite kind of cake? 
    hmmm Chocolate with a Jameson Buttercream --- non booze infused -- chocolate with chocolate

    Favorite kind of cookie?
    Chocolate chip

    Would you prefer to give up dessert, booze, or pasta?
    This is the worst question ever!!! Pasta I guess.

  • @twodimes Awww that was really nice of you and your H. I love pay it forward type of stories.

    @hummingbird125 Congratulations on baby boy bloob!
  • @cu97tiger - Thanks so much! You are seriously kicking ass and getting stronger every single day. I know it's tough especially when the numbers are in front of you but focus on YOU and your triumphs rather than comparing to other people. I don't know a lot about Crossfit so this might not even apply/make sense but did you do something this time around that you couldn't do before? Did you do more repetitions or lift heavier weights? Those are your amazing accomplishments and they're all your own! 



  • @500days I can't believe school in Boston was cancelled today. I feel like such an old person because I'm always like "they never cancelled school for shit like this when I was a kid!". I know it's for the kids' safety and maybe I'd feel differently if I were a parent but I'm just like really?
    Good luck to you on your house hunt! We would have liked to have liked to have way more money but I do not want to get locked into another year long lease and have the landlord potentially raise our rent again so I want to get out now. I'm so over renting!

    @cu97tiger Sounds like you had a pizza filled weekend, yum! Yeah, I'm already overwhelmed with the house buying process and we haven't truly started yet lol.
     




  • @TwoDimes Glad you guys had a great dinner. I love lemon drop martinis! That was nice of you guys to offer your food even if it was leftovers. 
     




  • Good morning!

    @hummingbird125 Congrats!! A boy!
    @lavenderfields13 good luck on the house hunt!! I'm watching HGTV right now haha I pretty much don't watch anything else!

    The weekend was uneventful... I just worked and BF was fencing in NJ for the whole weekend so I only saw him for like two hours.

    Oh! For everyone whose losing weight! I have been using this app called Happy Scale the last couple of weeks, and I am loving it! Basically you log your weight at whatever interval you want (daily, weekly, etc)and it makes a graph and calculates your weight loss based on trends. Anyway I think it's really cool so I wanted to share :)

    What foods are you planning to eat today? 
    I had boiled eggs and an English muffin with jelly for breakfast, lunch I'm going to make some kind of pasta broccoli thing from a recipe I found yesterday. That'll be my lunch for the whole week. And for dinner I think my roomie is making something so I'll just eat that. 
    Favorite alcoholic beverage?
    Margarita
    Favorite non-alcoholic beverage?
    coke
    Favorite kind of cake? 
    Ice cream!
    Favorite kind of cookie?
    a really soft sugar cookie. Yum! 
    Would you prefer to give up dessert, booze, or pasta?
    dessert! I barely eat it anyway. 
  • @lavenderfields13 I know they almost always have to call no school the night before because of working families. Everyone complains either way lol As far as your landlord, do you know if they will let you stay month to month in case the closing gets pushed back or whatever? My landlord is okay with month to month, but I know for sure that we will end up paying here and at new house because we suck at moving lol
  • @500days I have not even brought up the subject of that yet. I guess I'm just going to wait and see what happens when we actually find a house and figure it out. I hope they would be willing to just do month by month basis. 
     




  • @jenna8984 - Yep it's so much nicer than the little one we had in there! I like having a TV in the bedroom and I know it helps H fall asleep so he'd never be ok with getting rid of it. We have 3 TVs in the house and now all 3 of them are actually getting put to use. 



  • @jenna8984 LOL at your HS friend. I never knew a massage could be this bad! He used lotion that dried up as soon as it was on his hands so he was dragging his dry ass hands on my body and shaking me. It was so weird.
