Some Days

Some days all I want to start my day is a butt-kicking in spin class.

Old picture from about a month ago…but you get the idea.  

Some days, I’m too lazy to add berries to my oats. So I just add more peanut butter.

Some days, I wonder what the heck Dr. Seuss was smoking.

Some days, I crave the flavor of summer.

Avocado, hummus, turkey, spinach, + tomato wrap. Mango + carrots on the side.  

Some days, I wish I could have no responsibilities at all.

Some days, I wait until the husband comes home so I can take an uninterrupted 20 minute hot shower.

Some days, I have to admit to kind of being bummed The Bachelor is no longer on.

Some days, I cannot get over how stinking adorable my kids are.

Some days, I feel like unplugging.

And some days I wish I could spell too.   

Some days, all I want is to marvel in the life God blessed me and know that all my future somedays are in His hands.

Finish your own: “Some days, I _______”.

If It Involves Cake, I’m Happy!

In case you missed this week’s series, check them out here:

I loved this weekend! It had the perfect amount of productiveness, fun, and relaxation. Saturday morning started with my workout that I shared over the weekend. Then, I headed out for groceries and to get my eyebrows waxed. I needed some eyebrow grooming and now I finally feel like a woman again. Funny aside – the guy who waxed my eyebrows said I have a Scottish accent. Ummm…no. Sorry, dude.

After getting things done Saturday during the day, we had a fun afternoon ahead. Our good friends’ little girl turned one!

A kid’s birthday party may not sound like a good time to many of you, but I love these little get togethers we have.

A) Get to hang out with so many of our friends all at once.

B) All the kids keep each other entertained.

C) Good food is always involved.

I had a snack plate of chips with some corn dip, 7 layer dip, and a veggie bar. X2 because I had to go back for seconds. Plus, a Belgian Shock Top beer. It was a party after all.

D) Birthdays mean cake.

My friend Angie always has a co-worker make cakes for her special events. They are heavenly! This one was a chocolate amaretto cake. As good as it sounds…and looks.

Makenzie made a new best friend during the cake cutting. Grandma “D” (my friend’s mom) served M her own small piece. Enter sugar rush.

See? Kiddo birthday parties are a great time! It was the highlight of our Saturday. After all, Saturday night all we did was eat some pizza and watch the movie Life As We Know It.

Cute. Predictable. Peter fell asleep. You know you wish you had my life. 😉

Question of the Day – Eyebrows - Wax? Tweeze? Threading? Au natural?
