Well it would appear that I am nesting. The days are getting really cold here, and we even had a whole day of rain on Sunday. This pretty much means I don’t want to go anywhere, cleaning and reading become all that I have the energy for, and venturing out is not likely, unless essential. Welcome to Winter in New England. Speaking of New England, how about the Patriots going to the Super Bowl!! Woohoo! NOw for the rest of the weekend happenings:
After getting my oil change which ended up costing me double since it needed to be cleaned out first I headed to Old Navy, and to pick up some pet food. I then headed to the gym which was cut short by the woman next to me and her offensively strong perfume. I think I will remain working out at home until February. I ended up doing a TurboFire workout and some weight training.
I caught up on my DVR programs while trying to finish a knitting project. I swear it is never ending, so many steps.
Similar to The Fault In Our Stars, the hype surrounding Me Before You was dulled a little bit since I could figure out basically what was going to happen. It was still a good, enjoyable read, but I cried more cutting onions. I started The Rosie Project so I can move on to The Rosie Effect.
I did food prep on Sunday since it was cold and rainy, I made Pasta Sauce from scratch (dropped sauce down the front of my pants – winning), Paleo Chocolate Chip Banana Bread, and Paleo Tomato Chorizo Soup.
Watched the Patriots play their way into the Superbowl!!! Heck Ya!!
Little by little I am organized different areas in my house, and before I worked out I organized all my workout DVD’s. The discs were all over the place and out of their sleeves. It was a mess. Looking much better.
How was your weekend?
Linking up with Biana from B Loved Boston.
We had a quiet weekend too. I saw friends at some point on Saturday and Sunday, but other than that, enjoyed a quiet weekend. Go Pats! I’ve heard great things about the Rosie series…enjoy! Have a great week!
I’m so excited the Patriots are headed to the Super Bowl!!! Worth all the rain in my opinion we had yesterday lol!! Happy Monday girl! xo, Biana
Me too. They rocked it in the second half! Totally worth it.
Oooh, can you share the Paleo Chocolate Chip Banana Bread recipe?
Sending it now via email.
i love the idea of organizing dvds and such. i totally need to do that!!!! nothing like a quiet weekend 🙂
They were all over the place! Now I can find everything. It was perfect.
I hate getting anything done on my car because I always feel like I get screwed into having to pay for something else. I could not get into Me Before You. And as always, <3 Seamus! Have a good week! xo
Yes! Some places you just feel like you are getting ripped off. I liked it, but I just didn’t think it lived up to the hype. Thanks! Have a great week!
I really need that soup! The moment I saw it on instagram, i knew i needed it in my life! That Seamus…..what a cutie!
I’ll be sharing it tomorrow. I had it for lunch today and just as good. Thanks, he is such a doll.
hells yes to avoiding the gym! i can’t stand people who get all dolled up to workout. WHY?!?
It is the worst and when you are running and your nostrils are open heavy perfume can make it hard to breathe! Lay off people, it is not a dating event!
That soup looks delicious!!! I always find that it helps if I have my work out stuff organized, be it the discs or my weights or whatever.
I have both of those books on my list to read. What did you think about The Rosie Project?
Thank you. I had leftovers for lunch and just as good re-heated. It really helps, and you waste less time trying to find everything. I am about 20 pages from the end and I really like it. Quirky and cute.
That soup looks so good. While making soup one time I was trying to put it into a new container & spilled it down the front of my pants ha.
It was yummy. Yes, I was trying to get the tomato sauce for my pasta sauce from the can and it totally went flying. Ugh!
I LOVE your pictures of Seamus!! So precious. I’ve heard Body Beast ain’t no joke! Sometimes I wish we had a home gym because if you hit our gym at the right time, people are fighting over the weight machines. You will get good into a routine and then people will just literally SIT on the machines so no one else can use them. So annoying. Happy Monday!
Thank you, he is such a sweet heart. It is no joke, you can build some serious muscle. Keep it on mute though, he gets a little annoying with his bro speak. 😉 Ugh! That is what I dislike about January, it gets brutal.
I totally cleared out my DVDs this weekend. I put them all in a binder. It was awesome to get rid of so much crap.
That is such a great idea, such a space saver.
seriously though why do people wear strong perfume to the gym?? lol i would have left too. so sad you didn’t love me before you – i really didn’t see it coming and really really loved it.
It makes no sense, you are there to sweat not look pretty! I really liked it but it wasn’t over the top for me.
Those workouts would kill me.
I cried during Me Before You. Loved The Rosie Project, but The Rosie Effect was kind of boring to me. I still loved Don though!
They are tough but you burn so many calories. Trust me when I started I was horrible. That doesn’t sound good, I am just about to start it. 🙁
Sorry its so cold there for you! That soup looks amazing! You have to share that recipe with us!!
It’s been brutal but luckily the snow has been holding off. It was really tasty, you know I’ll share it!
It’s funny you mentioned a woman with strong perfume because the same thing happened to me! I almost choked. Haha.
I was no joke trying to cover my face to block it but it wasn’t working. So annoying.
We have a lot of the same workout programs. Did you like the Body Beast? I haven’t gotten it yet.
I have the Rosie Project on tap still to read – one day.
I liked it but I did have to mute it, he is a little annoying. I like ChaLean extreme better but it does add muscle. I really like it, should be finished tonight. Looking forward to the second book!
Seamus has somehow gotten even cuter since I disappeared from blogging! And I love that your lazy weekend is more productive than my busy ones…sadly it was beautiful this weekend and I literally just got out of my pjs AND only to shower for work tomorrow haha!
Aww thanks! He ages so well. I don’t know how that is possible! That actually sounds fabulous! I love PJ days.
OMG Seamus is sooo cute! Organized workout dvds look good my friend. Good for you getting your exercise on at home. I really need to do that. I have some I don’t mind doing, but the space I normally use isn’t clean right now. I need a rainy weekend with no plans and a book ban to get through stuff! That stinks you spilled sauce down your pants!
Thank you!!! The amount of times I pinch his cheeks and he knows it. 😉 The book ban is the hardest but you do tend to get a lot done when you do. The rainy day helped though.
Booo Patriots! hehe Seahawks was quite a game. Rainy days are perfect getting stuff done 🙂
Hope all is well with you… miss our MMG catch ups!
Haha!! It was a good game! It was a perfectly restful day!! I know I miss MMG already!!
I had no idea what Me Before You was about. I just saw it everywhere. I wanted to believe that he would love her so much he wouldn’t be able to go through with the plan because I am a naive, romantic sap and when he didn’t, I was just a teary mess. Plus I read it at Christmas and it was just the total opposite of the happiness I was feeling in real life.
I think based on everyone saying they cried a lot while reading it I knew how it was going to go, but I do wish that her love had been enough.
Perfect weekend!
It was absolutely perfect.
That soup looks heavenly and I want some of your workout dvds!!
It really was light but filling! I have accumulated them for years but I never get bored! 😉
I don’t understand perfume at the gym. Deodorant… yes. Perfume… no.
It was so strong, I couldn’t breathe. So annoying!
