Here we are.... back to a Monday
Let's see how the weekend went... full of ups & downs
UP - My Friday started off with Starbucks & my most favorite drink of all... Peach Green Tea Lemonade. I almost jumped over the counter & kissed the girl when she said they had Peach in...
UP - did some shopping & headed over to McAlister's. I've been seeing their Pecanberry salad in pictures & all the fruit looked amazing. I was excited to try it. Little did I know that those pecans? they're caramelized. OH MY GOSH - this salad is a winner & a half! I need to go back & order a full size one. (It comes with chicken, but this vegetarian just tells them to hold it... save a bird)
DOWN - all the cheese on that spud ole... I can't resist cheese... sorry
UP/DOWN - McAlister's Tea. At least I get it half & half & not totally sweet. Those cups are HUGGGGEEEEEE!!!! Love the tea... hate the calories I'm sure that is in a gallon of sweet tea
UP - We went to a toy store (which alone could qualify for an UP) - but I found a Magic Eight Ball!!! I haven't seen one of these forever. I asked it, "Will I ever be fit & skinny?"... the answer? It is certain. You heard it right here folks! It's GONNA HAPPEN! :) ... if it said no, I would have just drop kicked it across Toys R Us

| I'm holding you to it Magic Eight ball |
UP - got up early to get in my T25 before my busy day! I hate morning work outs so this was a big feat for me.
UP - I was up to do the T25 Ab Focus video & this time, I modified it where I got a great ab work out & didn't hurt my back. Not the Tonya modifying either - I've worked out long enough to know what muscles are working in exercises so I made it work... my abs were a quivering bunch of jello.
UP - Photo session that keeps me walking & getting in the miles...

| This momma was up for walking everywhere too... no slowing her down |
UP - Baby shower!!!! & I did pretty decent with the food there. It's easy to ignore food when there are so many people you want to talk to & see that you haven't talked to in a long time. That's the best diet right there... talking....
DOWN - I lost a game that had to do with Disney movies & songs in them. Everyone thought I would win. I'm a loser. Lost by 3 ... the winner lost by 2 ... she cheated. I'm sure of it :) She sat right behind me so I'm sure me singing every word of the songs (except 3 of them) had to help her :) .... The ones I didn't get were from Robin Hood, Hunchback of Notre Dame & Lion King II ... Dang it!!!!
UP - Chunky jewelry - I never wear it & bought a piece & gave it a go... I usually am just a 'I'll wear my cross every day" kinda gal. I LOVED the necklace. Made my jean shirt & maxi skirt look more 'jazzed' up. I now need more chunky jewelry
DOWN - Chunky jewelry can be expensive... or at least my taste is expensive. My husband would say, "Amen"
UP - Grease & then Grease 2 was on TV
DOWN - I went to bed super late because I had to watch Grease 2 ... for the 3,289th time (I literally was addicted to this movie growing up)
DOWN - I was late to church on Sunday for a meeting because Grease 2 was on again & I had to wait to see the talent show & sing "Girl for all seasons" & of course, the dramatic Biker Heaven scene..."Just remember Stephanie, I love you, & you're the only one who can keep our love alive..."
 |
| Some people may call this corny ... I call it, my childhood dream... |
UP/DOWN - depends on who you ask - I know every word to the songs, the dances in Grease 2 & most of the words to the script. It's kinda sad... kinda fun...
UP - More photo sessions... keeping me active & busy
UP - Yoga pants are on sale at Target for $10... WHAT? Is it wrong I wanted to buy like 7 pairs? one for every day of the week?
DOWN - So we went to our local Starbucks (which is still 15 minutes away) & they said they don't have the Peach for Peach Green Tea Lemonade... I told them I just got it from another store & they said, "It must be left over from last year"...
Yes, I know my affection towards Starbucks changed quickly in a day
UP - such a beautiful evening, I couldn't stand staying in the house & the hubs was going to do yard work. I headed over to my parent's house & went down to their barn to check out the horses & ended up sitting outside & just talking with them for awhile... nice way to wrap up a Sunday.
So how was your weekend?
Did you catch Grease or Grease 2 any this weekend?
Do YOU want a cool rider?

ReplyDeleteI still can't believe MJ is gone too. He was such an icon in the music industry... I didn't watch the awards (I never watch those things though) but I didn't expect the hologram thing to be that great either.
Love that magic eight ball story!! Picturing you drop kicking it if it said no made me LOL! :0)
I would have too... Screw that Eight ball... as of now, its my friend though :)
Deleteoh my gosh that salad looks amazing. i would have it without chicken as well, gross. mmm potatoes are my fave! cheese + sour cream = perfect haha.
