Family Day

Monday was even better than Sunday.
Here in B.C. it was Family Day so we had the day off together (a great start).
I slept in until almost nine because I was up until midnight watching 'The O.C.'

We decided to go on a walk right away, so I quickly changed (no outfit posts this time), made a shake and headed out the door.

After we finished at this beach we had to trek up a whole bunch of stairs to get to the car.  I didn't realize how out of shape I am. . .
The next beach we walked was a bit more relaxed.

Walking this beach made me realize how much I want to get married outside and perhaps at a beach.
We discussed that we will be having a small wedding and possibly no reception, unless we own a house by that time and then we can just host a party at our house.
But things are still up in the air.

We had the most unusual but delicious dinner.
I made a salad with arugula, spinach, yellow bell pepper, tomato and cucumber.
Nathan cut up potatoes very thinly using the mandolin and then layered them with cheese.
Yesterday we went to the grocery store and found kangaroo meat.

We've been on a kick with trying different kinds of meats lately and this is one of my favorites so far, too bad it's so expensive!

What is one of the strangest meats you've tried? Let me know in the comments!
Have a super week.

I Don't Like Mondays

I am going to be honest with you.
I am not quite ready for this Monday blog.
Usually I prepare the night before, have it written out and photos ready.
Last night I think I watched a movie and passed out at 9.

And this is what I look like right now:

Wine and chips in hand.
I started out with a bad day that just kept getting worse.
Plus I'm starting to get sick.

Do you have those work days where it feels like nothing goes your way?
I had a whole week like that and it's followed me to this week.

I got home tonight and my boyfriend's mom had a glass a wine ready for me. So I got into my pajamas, settled in to bed with a glass of wine and a movie.

I don't like Mondays.

What do you do to de-stress?
I promise to be more prepared next time!

Sometimes Mondays Are Bearable

I had the most wonderful weekend (a post on that later), so much so that I did not want it to end.
At one point I almost started crying because I felt like that was the happiest I've ever been (so far).

I somehow scored a three day weekend and so I didn't have to tolerate getting up at an ungodly hour this morning...okay I still did because Boyfriend had to work.

It's just after nine now and I'm sitting in my parent's kitchen eating breakfast, drinking coffee and watching the wind blow my tree around outside.
I have a red oak tree and it has grown a lot this year. I've had it for two years and it probably comes up to my chin now and I'm 5'8".
My youngest brother is sitting on the couch reading and eating a omelet (where's mine?!)
It's just a nice way to start the week.

Later today I will be cleaning my bedroom, the bathroom, grocery shopping, present shopping, weight lifting (unless I get lazy) and I would like to pack a few more home things I got.
I should probably do a home haul soon...or any youtube video as I haven't done any in awhile.

We'll see what the day brings. I really don't want to do any shopping to be honest.

Now that Monday has begun I have Tuesday to be anxious for.
Have a lovely week!
