After finally calming down 100% and falling back asleep, I woke up and felt fairly refreshed (might be a bit of a lie, but let's go with it). I slept in until almost 11 and felt like I had wasted the day and there was no way I would get anything done. BOY OH BOY, was I wrong! I managed to enjoy some relaxation time in bed with my kitties, while reading a book, before dragging myself into the shower. I had made lunch plans with a girlfriend who planned on picking me up around 1pm. I had been craving sushi and was really looking forward to that, but at the last minute, my friend decided we should go to Cactus(healthy Mexican food).
We started the meal with chips and salsa and some delicious drinks. I have NO idea what the drinks were called, or what was in them for that matter, but they were yummy and were perfect for the day we were having (the sun actually made a quick appearance...Thank you mother nature!!)
After indulging in the chips and salsa, we both enjoyed our separate meals. I decided to try the Butternut Squash Enchiladas. Let me tell you....DELICIOUS! For one, the portion size was perfect (it left me enough to take home in a doggie bag!) and left me feeling quite satisfied and not over stuffed. I also ADORED how we were given black beans rather than refried. I have a MAJOR love going on for black beans, so having that scored some major brownie points in my book. The meal was an absolute success and I look forward to going back more this summer for some more lunches (or maybe dinner!)
After eating, my friend took me back home while she ran off to a hair appointment. I really wanted to be productive, so I crawled into bed and decided to take a 'cat nap'
I was hoping my little babes would snuggle with me, but the decided to snuggle at the end of the bed with each other. Oh well. Thank goodness for lots of pillows and stuffed animals :)
After my snooze, which was about 45 minutes (which ISN'T normal for me), I felt completely refreshed and ready to tackle my to do list. I decided I would start with grocery shopping. I swear I always make a list that seems short, but by the time I get to the register, my cart is always filled with some things that always happen to 'fall' in my cart by accident. Oh well, a girl needs to eat right ;) Once I got home, the REAL productivity began. I cleaned out my fridge of all the old stuff and some party food left over from Thursday....[Quick note on that: Had a Cinco de Drinko party with a bunch of my co-workers Thursday night which involved way too much tequila, beer, margaritas, Fireball (how did that get in there?),chips, pico de gallo, guacamole and some AMAZING creamcheese chili sauce. The party was overall a success but left me with 3 bags of UNOPENED chips, two bottles of tequila, a bunch of random beers and a LOT of coors light.] Back to the story though, I cleaned out my fridge in order to make room for all my food I bought (almost all of it which is healthy..back on the horse I go!). After completing this, I went downstairs and tackled the mini fridge in one of my spare rooms. Yes, I literally have a bedroom that contains a lamp and mini fridge. That is all. It's currently my 'mini fridge room' but will hopefully be my work out room in the near future :) The mini fridge was kinda dirty, so i went to work cleaning it up, top to bottom. Once it was sparkly clean, and not smelling like funk anymore, I stocked it up with all the extra beer and booze that were laying around my house. Let's just say the fridge is COMPLETELY stocked, and I will probably need to have another party very soon to get rid of all the alcohol.
Anyway, once I cleaned the fridge, I cleaned my garage (aka cleaned off the beer pong table) and attempted to make it look more classy. I might put a vase or plant in the center of the table. I think that will give a better impression :) I also managed to sweep my floors (which were DISGUSTING) and I did a quick mop job (emphasis on QUICK)on the really sticky nasty parts of the floor. After completing ALL of this, I cleaned my kitchen and decided to attack a watermelon I bought while at the store. I chopped it up and put it in the fridge to be snacked on throughout the week. Of course, the watermelon made me hungry and I decided I would make myself a giant salad for dinner.
Into the mix went:
Baby Greens
Red Pepper
Cherry tomatoes
carrots
Chicken
Croutons (LOVE the crunch)
Goat cheese (my new FAVORITE thing that happened to 'fall into my cart' while shopping)
Pepper
Balsamic Vinegar
My original plan was to eat the salad while I typed this, but I'm pretty sure I inhaled the whole thing before I even got a sentence typed. Oh well :)
I plan on getting together with a girl friend tonight to go out for some drinks at the local bar and just see where the night takes us. I will try to take some pictures so I can post them tomorrow. Might I also add, it feels SO good to be back at blogging, and special shout to Danielle for her sweet blog comment yesterday which totally made my day! You guys should go check out her blog! I absolutely love it and I'm sure you will too!
P.S.
Sorry for the bad picture quality, I forgot my camera and all was done on the good old ghetto piece o crap iPhone of mine :)
ALSO! I'm sure there are spelling and grammatical errors all up in this. My mom typically reads for me and sends me the feedback about how half my sentences don't make sense. I guess if I slowed down a bit, it might help. Hopefully whatever main point I am trying to make sense comes across
