All Good Things Must Come To An End

By Courtney 75 Comments

Thank goodness things are finally starting to slow down juuuuust a bit over here. The past three days were so busy that by the time I got home from work/working out/eye doctor appointment/bridesmaid dress shopping yesterday afternoon, I had to throw in the towel. I could slowly feel my anxiety starting to get the best of me over little things that really didn’t deserve the attention, so I knew I needed to take a break.

I tried to stay off the computer as much as possible, I got caught up on some magazines, and then I spent the evening eating delicious food and tearing up for a good two hours at my TV. I’ll explain that one in a second.

Last Night’s Dinner

I had about zero energy or desire to put any effort into making dinner last night. Either did Jay. Those kinda nights call for the emergency frozen pizza stash…

IMG_3240

I had picked up a Newman’s Own Roasted Garlic & Chicken pizza a few weeks back to have on hand, which sounded pretty good to both of us.

IMG_3243

While that cooked for its 10 minutes (does it get much easier?), I was able to muster up a little bit of effort to put together some salads.

IMG_3242

Hey, lazy doesn’t always have to equal unhealthy, right?!

After dinner, we had to run out so I could pick up a few quick things for an extra fun girls’ night I have planned for tomorrow evening…

IMG_3250

(I told you I was going to do it!)

And while we were out for that stuff, we juuuuust so happened to wind up in the neighborhood of one of my favorite fro-yo spots.

IMG_3248

Coincidence? I think not.

IMG_3249

Talk about some top notch stress relief. Winking smile

Once we finished the goods, we rushed back home so I could catch the series finale of One Tree Hill.

source

Can I just say how incredibly sad I am that this show is over?

I spent the whole two hours tearing up on and off, listening to the cast talk about what a great nine years its been and secretly wishing it’s all just a bad hoax and that they really are coming back next year. As someone who’s been watching since the beginning (well, season 2), I’m not ashamed to admit that I have become rather attached to this cast!

But I guess as they say, all good things must come to an end. Hmmph.

Breakfast

After standing in front of the fridge for about a solid two minutes, I finally made the decision to go the egg route for breakfast.

IMG_3252

Today’s eggs of choice were in the form of an egg, cheese, and turkey bacon sandwich on a toasted whole wheat English muffin and paired with some raspberry jam. I was all out of my usual provolone, so I had to improvise with a wedge (<—fyi, totally just typed wedgie) of The Laughing Cow Light Swiss Cheese.

IMG_3256

It was good, but I’ll be happy to have my provolone back.

*****

This morning I have a couple quick sessions at work and then I’m OFF for the rest of the day, which is fantastic. This means I’ll finally get a chance to catch up on some emails, get my workout in, clean up the house a bit, and prep some of my goodies for tomorrow’s party. Wheeee!

*Quick reminder: I’ll be choosing a winner for my Aurorae Yoga Mat Giveaway this afternoon, so if you haven’t already entered, you still have some time!

Questions for the Morning:

Are there any TV shows that you’ve become attached to and were sad (or will be sad) to see them end?

Has there ever been a character on a TV show that you’ve really been able to relate to?

    I don't really watch much TV these days, but I was kind of sad when I read that the original Teen Moms were doing their last season. I hate to admit it but I really like the show and can kind of relate to the girls on it, being a young mom myself.

    West Wing all the way. I was so sad to see such a smart, funny show come to the end and definitely cried while watching some of the last episodes! Man, I wish that show would come back; Jed Bartlet was the best fake President! And CJ was (and is) an inspiration to women. I definitely related more to Donna though, than CJ! Thank goodness for DVDs!

    I loved One Tree Hill and was an avid viewer the first 4 or so seasons, but when the time shifted to the characters being adults, I stopped watching. It was always hard to relate to the characters, but even more so when they were all 22 with high paying jobs and huge houses. Not typical for those right out of college or in their early 20's. However, I totally understand your attachment! I love Gossip Girl and will be so sad when that show is over too! (Again, a cast with lifestyles very unrelatable)! Ha

    I bought turkey bacon for the first time the other weekend but I have to ask, how do you cook it?! All the instructions seem kinda time consuming (oven, etc.)? I watched OTH religiously up until about 2 years ago when I fell behind. So I have most of last season and this season to catch up on.

I was very attached to the cast, and have even extra'd in Wilmington & met most of the cast. It really was kindof like losing "friends". :(

    I've had many favorite shows over the years; Dawson's Creek, BH90210, Felicity... And I've been equally upset over each of their finales. OTH was no exception. I've watched that show since the very beginning, stuck with it when the plotlines got a lil' crazy, and still wound up loving every minute. I think the cast is incredibly beautiful (seemingly both inside as well as out) and love that they made a tiny NC town their home. Loved how they wrapped things up last night & most definitely cried for a good portion of the finale.

    Awwwwwwwww- I heard that was on last night; I never watched it but I bet many people were sad to see this show go. :( The show that I will be sad over when it goes off the air at the end of this season is Body of Proof. Even though it's been on for only 2 seasons, it's such a good show. So good that I don't understand why it has gotten low ratings on the Tuesday night at 10 pm slot. Unforgettable (one of my other favorite shows) is at the top of the ratings in that time frame- and it's going to get canceled too, according to Zap 2 It's Renew/Cancel Index. I check once a week to see if shows that I watch have gotten canceled or not. The character that I can mostly relate to is Brick in The Middle. Like him, I always have my nose in a book! :) (But that's not necessarily a bad thing...is it?)

    Friday Night Lights. Favorite show of all time (behind Dawson's). I was so sad when it ended. I'm still sad. I keep hoping that magically it will come back or something....I miss those East Dillon Lions.
