Project 366: Week 2

Day 8 was Grocery day. I actually made a list and shopped from it. To make things better, I made everything I planned to and didn’t run to the grocery store for anything all week. Day 9 was my first encounter with a Green Monster. It was okay. I might have putt a little too much peanut butter in it.

Day 10 was Chicken Burrito Bar night. I tried to make this a bit healthier and it turned out delish according to husband and awful according to me. I usually flavor the chicken with a tomato salsa and season the beans more. Day 11 was the first snow storm of 2012. It was an awesome day to sit at home, sip tea and work away.

Day 12: Hubs took the day off and we headed out to the mountains for a Thursday of snowboarding. Keystone had just gotten fresh snow, it was about 38 degrees and no one on the slopes. It was pretty close to heaven.

On Day 13 I decided that I wanted to make some creme brulee. It turned out amazing! Finally Day 14. Mammoth home opener and the retirement of Brian Langtry’s #6 jersey. How ironic that our team wins by 6 points?!

30 Day Photo Challenge – Day 4

 

Here is my update for the 30 Day Photography Challenge. Lori over at Happy Chaos life inspired got this thing going, and my friend Kristen over at Asymmetrical Joy let me know about it.

Day 4: Something Green

Today, Husband and I stayed in bed until 10 ish. Yum, we just slept in. Then talked. Then snuggled a bit. Then talked some more, and finally decided that it was time to get out of bed, because out tummies were seriously complaining.

We went and got ice cream for breakfast. Let me tell ya!!! Best breakfast EVER!

We drove around the new developments looking for house inspirations. Toll Brothers has got to be our favorite when it comes to semi-custom homes.

We’re sort of in love with this exterior:

Simply because it looks like a “freaking castle… and I want to live in a castle” these are my 27 year old husbands words.

We actually went driving around because we were looking for a particular wrap around deck that I had seen a year or so ago from Capital Pacific when my parents were looking for their house. It was to die for with two fire places and built in outdoor kitchen/grilling area. BUT the house had sold, and we were not about to be the weirdos knocking on strangers doors asking to see their deck.

After our little adventure we got some cleaning and organizing done in the basement, and honestly it looks like a bigger mess then what I started with. I also had the brilliant idea to vacuum the concrete… don’t judge, I have no clue what I was thinking. BUT nothing blew up, which is a good sign.

Then we all went out to dinner for my brother-in-laws second birthday celebration. We had some sea food at Red Lobster. It made me wish I was back down in Texas or up in Boston where they really know how to cook their seafood.

Then we had some carrot cake and I finally got a chance to take a picture of something green. So here is my Day 4 picture or the 30 Day Photography Challenge!!!

I’m happy to report that the carrot cake was yummy! It satisfied my rare sweet tooth perfectly. Now, I’m heading to bed, where I will rest my tired little eyes until I have to wake up and head to the gym for Body Pump… then work.

Happy Saturday night, or if you are reading this in the morning HAPPY SUNDAY!
