that's what she said...

it’s been kind of quiet around these parts lately… i guess i just haven’t had too much to say.

all is well, i’m just enjoying things like being outside, and going on dates with sean, sappy stuff like that. i am devastated that Happy Endings got canceled, even though we all kind of knew it was going to happen (i’m still hopeful USA will pick it up), and i really hope Andrew Wiggins chooses us tomorrow, although who knows if he’ll actually live up to the hype (hello, harrison barnes, who wasn’t so good in college, but is excelling in the playoffs).

this weekend was for some R&R… we double dated friday night to Ruth’s Chris, thanks to a hefty gift card from one of sean’s vendors… saturday we did some cleaning up around the house, took naps, and then had dinner at our favorite local spot… and sunday was for mother’s day festivities, and yard work. all in all a good weekend for the soul.

saturday night we watched “Silver Linings Playbook”, and it’s basically my new favorite movie. i love, love, LOVED it and can’t say enough good things about it!!

• i have officially fallen off the healthy eating / working out regularly wagon. i only worked out once this week, and it was pretty half-assed.
• also, this week i’ve eaten Chipotle, french onion soup, pimento cheese, southwest nachos, pasta, AND drank a little too much wine.
• we have ZERO plans for the weekend, and it feels amazing.  april was a fairly hectic month for us, so i’m excited to have a laid back weekend.
• other than our annual drink-eat-watch the derby with friends on saturday get-together, which i’m looking forward to…
• we are entering our slow time at work, and well, let’s just say i have literally done as little as possible all week. this, plus my sloth-status has made me feel like a loser… good thing this week is almost over.  onward & upward.
• this month i’m going to try really hard not to buy anything for myself (ie: clothes, jewelry, etc…).
• we’ve been watching a lot of Dateline’s at night and it’s made me have super crazy dreams.
• i literally almost spent $70 at bath & body works thanks to a couple $20 lotions?! WTF?? um, no sir, i would not like to purchase those THANKYOUVERYMUCH. (and yes, i still enjoy bb&w for their wallflowers, candles, & soaps… and some lotions… and car air fresheners… whatever, i like their stuff & i like smelly-good things, ok??)

just saw some of the professional pictures from the wedding i was in a couple weekends ago…

i’m hoping it was just the ‘angle’, but let’s just say that satin dress did nothing for me.

i’m certainly not fancy enough to post a weekly “what we’re eating” post, because let’s face it, i don’t cook enough, and what i do make is just not that fancy.

but here are a few pinterest recipes that i’ve made and actually enjoyed…

spaghetti with tomatoes, garlic, and feta - i did not add the olives because, gross, and i also added chicken. next time i will skip the chicken and add shrimp. you can’t go wrong with garlic & feta.

tuna pasta salad - i made this for lunches this week and it’s really tasty! i added a little sweet & dill pickle relish too.

fruit salad - the secret ingredient in this one is dry vanilla pudding mix. make it. it is delicious.
