I was supposed to stop at the grocery store on the way home on Friday, but when I got in my car after getting off the train, I was just dunzo. There was much teeth gnashing and hand wringing because I didn't place an order in time for delivery. MFD to the rescue - he hit Target and Giant for me and brought flowers home to boot while I laid on the couch and did nothing with the dogs.
Saturday I met Melissa at the train station and we headed to NYC for Kim's baby shower. It was a nice afternoon with my lady friends of 20+ years complete with inappropriate behavior involving worry dolls. Melissa and I enjoyed a refreshing walk back to Penn Station from Pete's Tavern in Gramercy and made the train home in perfect time.
When I got home, I felt like doing absolutely nothing. I did rally to make
a pan of brownies and a scaled down version of
cold taco dip for Sunday.
Sunday dawned gray and rainy. I lingered in bed and over coffee before getting my shit together and heading out to Produce Junction. Weekly food prep included egg muffins with green onion, gouda cheese, and tomato for breakfasts; salads for lunch; veggies for snacks; and scrambled eggs and poop soup (ground beef, blueberries, carrots, zucchini, sweet potato, shiitake mushrooms, and coconut oil this week) for the dogs.
MFD's family came over for dinner Sunday. I made pulled pork and pulled buffalo chicken (served on kaisers) and a big green salad along with the taco dip and brownies above and (not pictured) veggie dip. MFD made two pans of macaroni and cheese. Notice him smiling big? It's not because he's proud of his mac and cheese, although he was. He got his temporary caps on his teeth on Saturday. He will no longer be a closed mouth smiler.
Other Sunday things: wearing flip flops and airing out the house in the afternoon on January 10 even though it was absolutely freezing by 7 p.m. This weather is bananas. I used some Amazon giftcards to purchase things for our upcoming trip, and shopped Christa's Scentsy party. Yes, I did take the easy way out and snap photos of my computer screen in lieu of finding cleaner images.
And Geege had dinareena while the family was over.
And after asking for advice on removing gel nail polish at home, I picked it off like an a-hole.
And JLo looked fierce AF at the Golden Globes.
And were you ordering sun hats and bathing suits online and emailing South African drivers at 1:30 am? No? Just me? Please pass the coffee.
And that is the weekend that was. How was yours? This morning I woke up with a fever. Something's been going around my office. A little over a week until vacation. I need to kick this. Elderberry extract, tea, and oregano essential oil all the live long day up in here.
Tomorrow, we talk books. See you here for that.
