My Weekend in Review

My weekend has not held too much excitement thus far.

I returned some black leggings, because, well, I don't want to wear leggings until I feel that they flatter my body more.

I also returned a burgundy shirt, because, well I found some better things to spend my money on; after my lunch at Chipotle, of course.

I walked into Forever 21 and found something I had to have, this scarf:

(forever 21)

Although this one is black, and I'd like a black one even if my mom says they're boring, mine is purple. It is a pretty blue-ish purple. I wore it today with a pink sweater and it looked fantastic. The tag said the scarf was blue, but it is definitely purple.

Then, I had seen this on Pinterest, and found earrings to recreate it and I went ahead did so (note: this is not my ear, it is the image from pinterest)

I went to church, and think for once, that I will actually use our "Grow. Pray. Study" guide this week. I'll least try my best. Thanksgiving is almost here so I am going to have to start thinking up my list of what I am most thankful for this year. I have some ideas. Oh, and to go back to church, we were talking about: "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Matthew 6:21 NIV. If you didn't know, David Livingston when he died in Africa, they took his heart out and buried it in Africa, while sending his body back to England. The reasoning was that his body belonged in England, but his heart belonged in Africa. My pastor asked where they'd bury my heart, and I am so ashamed to say that the first thing that popped into my head was Nordstrom Rack. At the time I thought it was funny, but I think I need to rearrange some of my priorities.

Happy Sunday.

My afternoon involves some Chargers football, running errands, and taking care of a sick Cwisp. My boy is sick, he has a fever. Poor thing.

Five Things on a Saturday

1.

I got a great workout in today. I love running more than anything else; but I should probably start branching out on my cardiovascular endeavors and cross train a little.

2.

Taking Chris shopping, even for household stuff, is not as fun as just going by myself. I love having him with me, but after about 5 mins, he's done. Love the guy, but I'll run errands by myself. (Although we did buy a few ingredients for our end of summer/Labor Day surprise!)

3.

San Diego has the best weather. It was fabulous today. Be jealous, I know you want to.

4.

Mmm... my favorite comfort foods: pasta, and lots of it. I could really go for some mac and cheese, but the lasagna I had for dinner will definitely suffice.

And drumroll please.....

5.

We made these:

Graham Cracker + marshmallow + chocolate = HEAVEN

It was the perfect way to end our night and hope that summer never ends, well, I guess here it doesn't end until January, then there's winter until March, and we're back at summer again. Hope you had a great Saturday. Go make s'mores.

Super Saturday

These are the reasons why today was awesome:

(ONE)

Yeah, I ran 5 miles today. I am that awesome.

I also lifted weights after.

And I am alive to talk about it.

(TWO)

I went shopping and bought these:

$6.24 each

A Day of Disasters & Summer Schemes

The trusty steed aka our car (yes we only have one, my car did not feel like making another 500 mile drive so it is relaxing in front of my parents' house) needs a new fuel pump. It costs $750. Yeah right. We spent 4 hours waiting and waiting and waiting for the diagnosis. I did some shopping and found this:

I did not get it, but really wish I would have. Oh well.

I also just remembered that I used to really love Feist, so have a listen.

My List of "Schemes" for the Summer (or just plain things I want to do):

1. Go to Santa Monica and peruse the boutiques.

2. Watch a sunrise and sunset on the beach.

3. Make peach cobbler or homemade peach ice cream.

4. Spend a day in a completely unique part of San Diego.

5. Go camping in Carlsbad.

6. Roast marshmallows; drink ice cold beer; and lounge on the patio.

7. Barbeque a delicious steak, and make every side homemade, including grilling corn.

8. Eat my body weight in fresh fruits and vegetables.

9. Walk more, drive less.

10. Ride bicycles on the beach; near the beach.

11. Dance under the stars... Reminding me of the time Chris and I made dinner and danced in the kitchen.

12. Enjoy being youthful.

13. Outdoor concert, preferably country, but really, any kind.

Those are just some of what I plan on calling my Summer Schemes...
