TGIF


Happy Friday everyone! This has been a week; started off by watching three kids three and under, dealt with a sick kiddo and then sick husband and to top if off had to do a major re-work of our budget. Overall, not a lot of fun things going on. Instead of dwelling on the negative, unhappy, icky things that happened this week, let me give you a rundown of the things that went right. Positive vibes, happy thoughts and sunshine all make the world go 'round, don't they? They do in my universe at least.
  • Officially started the Couch25K program. I am loving running, it feels good and I like to see how far I've ran/walked.
  • Took my first yoga class in eighteen months. Felt great while I was doing it and then sore for the next two days. Just like it should. Looking forward to going back next week.
  • Got the dishwasher to start working again. Thank goodness! The dirty dishes were starting to take over the kitchen.
  • Went out with some lovely ladies for dinner and had some yummy Vietnamese food. Cheap date with good company. Yum, yum, yum, delicioso!
  • Cooked up some delicious black bean burgers, baked chicken fingers and peanut noodles. We've been eating them all week since two-thirds of the household is sick and whiny.
  • Made it to Friday without wanting to pierce my eardrums with a chopstick or drinking myself into oblivion. All in all, a very successful week.
What went well for you this week?


Have a great weekend!

  1. I hadn't heard of the Couch to 5k thing before, but I just looked it up and I'm totally doing it soon!

Home for Sale, Cheap

Nap time is usually reserved for a mash up of cleaning, organizing, eating, blogging, surfing the web and trying to relax as much as possible before the Little Lady wakes up.  With our house going on the market tomorrow my house is the cleanest it has ever been.  Literally.  I feel like we're living in a model home.  Kind of like Michael and George Michael Bluth from Arrested Development .  It's equal parts nice and annoying.  Nice having a super clean home and annoying that I have to keep it show ready all.the.time. The best part of having a show ready house?  I have nothing more to do during nap time than blog, eat and watch Angel .  Because bad TV at nap time is the best way to relax.  Well, maybe just if you're living in a model home.

Lady in the Sky, With Broccoli

We've had a whirlwind, chaotic, hectic, exciting week.  It was a week of fixes, car naps, quick meals and heat.  Oh, the heat!  I finally feel like today we had the chance to tone things down and take a breath.  The Little Lady and I were left to our devices for the evening while the Mr. took a much deserved night off.  We had a light dinner and then went outside for our favorite pre-bed activity, Bubble Chasing.  (Well, she chases, I blow).  The following conversation ensued. Laying in the grass: MP: Hey LL, look at all those clouds! LL:  Yeah mom, clouds. MP:  What do you see up there?  I see bunny ears! LL:  They just puffy mama. MP: (Humph, this might not work...) LL:  Mama, I see Lady! MP: (Getting excited)  That's great, what's she doing? LL:  Lady in Sky, with Broccoli.  I like Broccoli! MP: Well, yes, it does look like broccoli.  What else do you see? LL:  Poop in a glass.  Hahaha, mama, poop in a glass! And here ends what could have been a touching,

Five Things Friday- Summer Drinks

Hello good peeps!  It's currently 79 degrees in sunny Minneapolis and I think it's high time I shared my favorite summer drinks with you.  Whether you are chilling on a patio, sipping around a campfire or simply sitting in front of your A/C, here are five tasty, cool, refreshing drinks for your  pleasure.  What about you?  What do you imbibe in the summer? Moscow Mule :  I had this for the first time at the beginning of summer and it is just about perfect.  Ginger beer (not ginger ale), vodka and lime come together to form the most refreshing drink you can have on a patio.  Sweet, spicy, with a nice little kick. Surly's Cynic Ale :  A light colored ale with a nice kick at the end.  I could drink pints and pints of this brew.  It's the ideal beer for a back yard BBQ. Arnold Palmer :  Part tart lemonade, part sweet iced tea.  Love this combination in the summer time, especially in the afternoons!  Nothing like a little caffeine kick to get you through the rest of a
