Saturday Schtuff

I’d like to kick off this weekend with some adorable cat photos.

On Saturday morning, I went running with Elisa. It had been awhile since we last ran together and it felt good to get out. Afterward, she and I went to brunch at a place called Jacob’s Pickle’s for biscuits and mimosas. I am kicking myself right now for missing a great photo op of both our food and the place itself.

When I got back home, I had a lot of energy so I did the laundry and organized the office shelves (which had gotten pretty disorderly over the past few weeks.) Now, while there’s still a bunch of things on the shelves, atleast they are things we want to display.

By the time I was done, it was time to eat. Gavin made the most amazing buffalo chicken pizza. As in, AMAZING. I want to eat this every day it’s so good.

Now we’re watching football and Baltimore just made a pretty sweet touchdown. I saw the replay. It was pretty epic.

I had a salad today.

That was a good decision. I really liked the assortment, too: spinach, apple, walnut, feta (supposed to be goat cheese but they were out), cranberries with raspberry vinaigrette. Yum.

I’m trying to eat healthier at breakfast and lunch in order to offset the Trader Joe’s freezer food and other vitamin-deficient meals that Gavin and I have been preparing all week. We hadn’t gone food shopping since we got back from the snowboarding trip and then spent most of the weekend doing family stuff. Suddenly, Monday arrives and it’s now Wednesday already.

Luckily, Gavin did go food shopping today while I was at work and got us some good stuff. We spent the night preparing for his shoot on Thursday for Inked Girls magazine (cleaning and re-organizing furniture.) I cleared off the “make-up table” for Meagan, Gavin’s main make-up/hair artist.

After all that work, I took a lavender salt bath (part of the push toward decreasing my daily stress.) There was a lot of unnecessary drama this week.

I’ll definitely be glad when its the weekend.
