Weekend Things

LaurenLeave a comment

Sometimes it takes a few days away from home to fully appreciate your bed, your kitchen and your routine.

Sometimes it takes a few weeks of hail, rain and snow to fully appreciate sunshine and warm temperatures (even if it’s only in the 50’s).

Sometimes it takes a wild and indulgent Grub Street Diet to fully appreciate your comparably uneventful and healthy* weekend.

*Not even trying to define the word “healthy,” but reading everything Alan Yang ate in a week definitely made me feel extremely virtuous.  But also jealous 🙂

Staying in on Friday night to cook a BOMB dinner & watch a movie is my love language.

Walked to Black Eye Coffee for avocado toast beauty & Memorial Day BBQ planning.

Joey had been dying to get in the backyard and clean up the mess from the hail storm and would you look at that pile of twigs?!  That was just one of the THREE piles we cleaned up.  P.S. Our garden just keeps on keeping on!

Post grocery store, fridge restock lunch.

We popped over to an open house (it was a bust!) then made a stop at Whole Foods and get this, they don’t even sell cheap club soda there!  Luckily, we had some at home and Moscow Mules + shrimp tacos + Y Tu Mamá También are the makings of a perfect Saturday night.

Ran 5 miles on Sunday morning and totally ran into the Colfax Marathon!  I knew it was happening that day, but hey, I just kind of figured they actually ran on Colfax?  Afterwards, I got us iced coffee and came home to waffles.  Never been happier ♥

Prep a salad, eat a salad.

But seriously, this weekend was a good one 🙂

Is It Just Me?

Is it just me or does it not seem like November at all?

On my way home, I drove past those little Christmas tree/stocking/toy soldier decorations hanging off of the light posts and was so confused.  It’s been September for the past 3 months, hasn’t it?

I’m not really sure how to put this feeling into words, but I feel way less into the holiday spirit this year.  And I’m not sure why.  Halloween came and went and as much as I wanted to be into it, I just wasn’t.  Is this what being old feels like?  Because I’m not old enough to feel old!  By this point, I’m usually craving Christmas music, snowy Saturdays (where I can stay indoors all.day.long) and eggnog, but as of right now, I feel no such desire for those things.  What is happening?!

Is it just me or is this time change messing with everyone else’s workout motivation?

The sun is seriously setting as I leave work and by the time I get home it’s pitch black outside and all I want to do is cuddle up on the couch and be lazy for the rest of the night.  Help.

Is it just me or is everything about the Voice a joke?

I don’t watch but it just so happened to be on when I turned the TV on and I’m not impressed by anyone.  Including the horrible Maroon 5 performance.

Is it just me or does everyone else think every restaurant should offer baby beers?

You know, for when you need to save room for actual food.  Or if you’re Joey you get a full sized beer and a big ol’ burger and then go to a Nuggets game and spend almost the entire 4th quarter of the game standing in line for nachos.  Where does he put it?!

This was my favorite part of the game.  But really, I barely watched any of the game because I was glued to election coverage.

Is it just me or does a decked-out waffle make a Tuesday morning feel extra special?

If you don’t know the answer, then you should probably eat a decked-out waffle next Tuesday.

But for now, just go enjoy your weekend!

Do you watch the Voice?

Does it feel like the holiday season yet to you?

What are you wondering “Is it just me?” about?
