The Weeks Fly By

Life Ramblings

I’m sure you can guess why I’ve been mia here – on the home stretch!! It was a busy week, so I ate a ton of meals out – not the best for healthy eating, but oh so convenient when there’s no time to cook. And also so fun during the week! On Monday, my mom and I got together to start working on the escort cards and we grabbed salads at Panera. Tuesday, one of my bridesmaids and I…

Life Ramblings Wedding

…to go until the wedding!  I’m excited, nervous, a bit stressed, but mostly excited all at the same time!  A year sure flies by these days. And we have a marriage license!  I wasn’t expecting to have to take an oath – kinda felt like we were married after the oath, especially since a couple congratulated us on the way out. I came home and made sweet potato enchiladas to celebrate.  Only I forgot the verde sauce and had to use salsa.  Oh…

Cooking Life Ramblings

Garlic asparagus, Cajun catfish, and rice and beans!  Matt and I tag-teamed the cooking last night and dinner came together so much faster.  Loved this meal. In the next few weeks, I may be transitioning to all microwave meals and salads.  Time is of the essence. I’m thinking a wedding planner would have been a good idea right about now. I’m so thankful for a weekend at home with only a few things on the agenda. Only 4 more weeks at work (and a…

Ramblings Twenties

– I noticed a field full of trucks on my way to work yesterday and today there was a full carnival in the field, including a ferris wheel. That can’t be safe. – I think I see spring on the horizon. Rumor has it, this was one of the coldest March’s on record. -What should I wear to my bridal shower? My mom pointed out that I have plenty of dresses in my closet, but do I look for a…

Life Ramblings Shopping

Time is flying faster than I can ever remember. I’ve become one of those people who clicks on all the ads for clutches and wedges on the sides of webpages. The internet knows just what I’m looking for these days, and if it’s not wedding related, it’s spring browsing or unnecessary travel accessories. Fish tacos: never as good at home as in restaurants. But, nothing that an airplane bottle of Jose in a homemade margarita can’t fix. Spring break: it’s…

Life Ramblings

Dreams of the Weekend: I’m craving a burger. With sunshine. Or a beer.    It’s been a long time since I’ve had a nice glass of port too. I can’t wait until its warm enough for this. The 10 day forecast is glorious! Also, I bought a $3 silly sun hat because I’m totally the type to get a sun burn before my wedding day. I haven’t made my bed time goal in approximately 10 days. I did a behavior…

Ramblings Travel

I think I pulled something at bootcamp this week. I stepped on the treadmill and didn’t make it 60 seconds before I headed to the bike. Sometimes I search for split ends and cut them one my one. It’s therapeutic . This weekend is my wedding tasting at the island! I guess if the food’s not good it’s too late. Matt’s at the kitchen table studying for an exam with complicated math – aren’t you so glad it’s not you?…

Sunny

Life Ramblings

It was a dark and rainy day, but I was strangely in a fabulous mood. I think it had something to do with the very, very negative meeting I had today. It reminded me of all the sunny, positive people I have in my life and all I have to look forward to. And spring is on the way!!!!! After work, I went to the gym for my favorite class and then had yet another bubbling crock pot dinner waiting…

Ramblings

Plantains were the missing ingredient from my mexican bowls all this time. This version – sweet potato cubes, quinoa blend, black beans, corn, tequila salsa, and veggie chips was divine. I am really tempted to take a pictures of this bruise/injury on my tail bone just to show you! Its bruised and making sitting very uncomfortable. We have a three hour delay tomorrow because of ice. This is both a wonderful thing [sleep] and a very bad thing – I’m…
