Happy Memorial Day, everyone!
I hope everyone’s weekend has been going great and you’ve been having lots of fun. Although things have been a lot quieter than usual for Memorial Day weekend for us, (and the weather has been anything but enjoyable), we’ve still been managing to have a nice couple of days.
Some weekend highlights…
Saturday morning banana bread pancakes
I will most definitely have a recipe for you soon.
Two solid workouts, thanks to FitnessGlo, which is an awesome, new-to-me site filled with workout videos.
More on that site to come later this week!
Saturday evening was spent with some of our great friends, and also included another appearance of Andrea’s famous ice cream cookie cake.
Remember when she surprised me with one for my birthday? This one was black raspberry ice cream with Oreos and I swear I could eat these everyday for the rest of my life. Oh. Em. Gee.
Yesterday was a quiet day, and I didn’t even wind up leaving the house at all…but I DID make a salad for dinner of rather epic proportions.
I swear, I threw in every single vegetable and/or thing I could find. I had made baked ziti for the hubby and even took a few spare noodles and tossed ‘em on there too. All topped with a little ranch dressing…aka, yesterday’s craving du jour.
Today we’ve got some work to do around the house (Jay is working on the beginnings of starting our new back patio!) but no crazy plans. Just enjoying the day.
