Another weekend gone, but I am not sorry about it since this is going to be a short week for me. I have a mini-vacation since I took Thursday and Friday off. Since I am training someone at work in a few weeks I wanted to get a short vacation in so I don’t bail on her until she gets her feet wet.
I wanted to spend it hiking but after this weekend that might not happen. I most likely will be working on my Office re-design, book reading and double workouts.
Saturday morning was all about the shopping and i had a list. Bed Bath and Beyond to get glass containers (replacing all plastic containers), PetSmart, Old Navy (left empty handed), Home Goods, and Target.
Sunday morning I made a big breakfast since I knew it was going to be a long day. I also read for a little bit before getting ready.
Seamus wanted no part in the picture taking this weekend.
How was your weekend?
Linking up with Biana from B Loved Boston.
Kelly says
Great job on replacing the plastic. We are in that process, adding and purging at the same time; anything to reduce the carbon footprint a bit. Have a great week!
Kerry says
Yes, so much better and safer for you.
Biana @ Blovedboston says
Saturday was definitely not ideal for a hike, but at least you got out there!! can’t wait for that sandwich recipe – Love a good sandwich!! Hope you have a great start to your week! xo, Biana
Kerry says
It was horrible, and it made the snow so soft. I was glad to get the workout in though. It was so good I want to make it again tonight. 😉
kathy at real talk says
i tossed out all plastic containers in my house ages ago and whenever i see people heating their food up in plastic containers (esp the take out containers!!!) i grimace because cancer! BPAs!
sorry your hike sucked! hopefully next one is better. damn you, winter!
Kerry says
It is so much better for you, I am glad I made the switch. I am hoping to go again while on my mini-vacation, hopefully the conditions are better but it is snowing today!
ellesees.blogspot.com says
yay for a mini vacation! i was i find hiking relaxing to begin with. i’m too clumsy but i love being outdoors. maybe on a swing, reading! 😉
Kerry says
I am so excited for it. Haha! Reading on a swing is pretty amazing, but I do love the workout.
SMD @ Life According to Steph says
LOL @ the pic of Spiderman on the ground.
I hate when I push outdoor activities before their time.
Kerry says
He was exhausted, wore them out. Win! I should totally wait for the snow to melt but I also just want to be outside! So over Winter keeping me in.
Linda Sheridan says
Ew on that hike. The lunch looks really good. I packed pastrami sandwiches for our trip to Annapolis to see
Sean’s game. It was freezing there by the water and we could not park on the base. We had to park at least
5 blocks away with another 10 minute walk to the soccer field. I love the Superhero training theme for that kid part. Our Colin would love that and he has a January birthday, so he needs an indoor activity. Glad you have a long weekend and a short week. Enjoy!
Love,SMD’s Momma
Kerry says
It was so yummy, waiting to make it again this week. Pastrami is something I do not have enough but it is so good. It was so much fun and the kids burned off a lot of energy.
Amanda Madison says
I am so hungry for that sandwich! Also, I really, really need it to stop snowing before I get there next weekend!!!!!
Kerry says
It was so good, girl I had to take a nap after! It really needs to stop snowing, and I am so excited you are coming up here again!! Miss you!
Rose says
Sorry your hike didn’t go as planned.
I am slowly working on replacing my plastic containers with glass. They hold up so much better and you don’t have to worry about nasty chemicals in your food.
Kerry says
Yes, they are so much better for you. I finally had to bite the bullet and with the 20% off couldn’t be beat.
Ashley says
NAP TIME! 😉 Those fries look so good.. may have to make some myself today! Your breakfast looks like the bomb.com! I need to hire a chef! Yay for a short week!
Kerry says
Love sweet potato fries, do it! 😉 Haha! I think that is a great idea.
Brianne Bracco says
That pastrami sandwich with the sweet potato fries looks amazing!!!
Kerry says
Thank you. It really hit the spot after my hike.
helene says
what a fun weekend! I need to hit up BB&B! that passtrami sandwich looks delicious!
Kerry says
They have such cute stuff there. Thank you, I inhaled that sandwich. Haha!
kristen says
we are trying to replace all of our plastic with glass as well, i’ll have to hit up bed bath and beyond.
so sorry about the miserable hike! that sucks. on a good note, all the food looks amazing? lol.
Kerry says
Yes, good deal and with the 20% off coupon it was more affordable. Haha! Thanks, I am glad I got the workout in but it could have been more relaxing. That’s what I get for going before the snow melts.
Lindsay T says
Oh I can’t even walk to work in the snow because it is so DAMN FRUSTRATING. good for you for getting out there! Annnd that sandwich looks incredible!
Kerry says
I so wanted to give up so I am happy I made it, it was a struggle. I devoured it, recipe is coming tomorrow. 🙂
Jana @ Jana Says says
Sorry your hike wasn’t so great but winter is being an asshole so blaming it sounds reasonable to me.
Yay for mini-vacations!
Kerry says
Totally sounds reasonable, it’s actually snowing today! 🙁 I am so excited, I have so many things on my list to-do.
Nadine says
I am sorry that your hike didn’t go as well this weekend. Darn snow, get the memo it is SPRING!!!! Hopefully it will warm up soon so you can enjoy yourself with it!!!
I have been slowly replacing our plastic with glass. It is just I am so OCD about everything that I keep our plastic stuff in such great shape that I have a hard time just getting rid of it, you know?! I will no microwave anything in plastic so at least that is a start! Love your finds! Hope you have a great short week!
Kerry says
It is officially Spring but we had snow for 8 hours on Saturday. 🙁 That is a start. I hate to throw it away but it is better for you so starting slow is okay. Thank you so much!
Kim says
I’m pretty sure that I wouldn’t have lasted 5 minutes hiking in the snow like that!!!
Fun idea for a kids birthday party!
Kerry says
It is brutal but it does make for a good workout. 😉
Nichole says
Old Navy is hit or miss for me. I either find ALL the clothes or nothng at all. I want a new bed set and have been wanting to go to BB&B. Looks like a great weekend!
Kerry says
It is, in the Winter I got so much stuff but now I am not liking anything. BB&B has so many great things, I could get lost in there for hours.
kelli says
I wanted to go a lot of places like that but K gets tired of me dragging her around, hahaha.
I bet glass containers are much easier to clean than plastic.
Kerry says
It is so much harder with kids! So much cleaner and no more worrying about BPA’s.
Amanda Elizabeth says
Seriously my stomach just growled reading this. That sandwich looks sooooo good!!!
Kerry says
Aww thanks! Recipe is coming tomorrow. It was melty goodness.
Amy @ The Crazy Wise Woman says
I am sorry but your hiking story made me laugh. It sounds like something that would so happen to me! I hope you have better luck on the next one! I saw your breakfast insta this weekend and it still looks yummmm!
Kerry says
It was horrible. I just wanted it to be over. I had a good pout going on. Haha! Sunday breakfasts are the best! 🙂
Leeann @ Join the Gossip says
Superhero training? So cute! I can’t wait for that recipe – yum! And I can’t believe how much snow you guys still have. You should come out here for your mini vacay 😉
Kerry says
It was adorable and they had a blast. It is crazy, I thought it would be melted by now. 🙁 I wish I need some fun in the sun!
Tricia Coniglio says
I wouldn’t have even completed my hike after 10 minutes!!
That meal looks amazing, your co-workers are LUCKY. I got rid of Tupperware that had non-fitting lids – or missing lids and I felt so proud until I realized some STILL didn’t fit! How in the world did I do that?
Kerry says
Haha! It was nice to be outside but the snow and the sliding was not fun! Thank you! Hehe! I cleaned mine out awhile too, how do the lids go missing! Craziness.
Stacia says
An office re-do sounds like a lot of fun! I’m itching to redesign but am trying to remember that we’re moving soon, so it needs to be a purging instead. haha.
Kerry says
I have re-done this room twice already. There will be a lot of purging going on too, the space is just not working for me. MOving, huh? How fun! Purging is very much needed then, less to pack and move. 😉
Kay R. says
Yay for short weeks! Bummer for miserable hikes though. Snow in late March/April should be outlawed haha. That sandwich looks amazing!
Kerry says
I am so excited I have so much to get done! It really should be outlawed, we even had a dusting today. Thanks!
Bri @ My Life As... says
That sandwich looks so so good! Sorry you didn’t have an ideal hike. I still find it impressive that you’re going out even in the snow. Great job lady!
Kerry says
Thank you, it was yummy. I really wanted to get a good workout in and it was rough but I am glad I made it.
Emily @ Martinis & Bikinis says
The hike looks pretty but i can imagine all that snow make it challenging. Can’t wait to read your recipe tomorrow!
Kerry says
I just kept sinking or sliding. It will be so much better when the snow melts! Thanks!
Christy@SweetandSavoring says
Oh gosh, your hike sounds so similar to the one I did last week! Except I was with a friend, so it wasn’t as bad as it would have been otherwise? I think. But man, the combination of mud and ice and snow was just ridiculous and we are all going to be overjoyed when it’s finally all gone!
I need to make a sandwich with gruyere and honey dijon now, yum!
This is my weekend (Monday’s my Friday), and so far it’s going pretty well! Went to the gym and went on a small hike with my husband and dog but also rested a lot and I look forward to not a lot of plans tomorrow 🙂
Kerry says
The melting snow made it horrible. Glad you had a friend with you, to make it slightly more bearable. Hope you had a great day off!
Kimberlee @ I Have A Degree In This! says
Glad you got a little vacation in 🙂 Looks like another fun weekend! Can’t believe there’s still so much snow on the ground!
Kerry says
Thanks it was much needed! It is finally just about all melted, but that is bringing Allergies. 🙁
