Monday Miscellaneous

Good morning, and happy Monday!

I hope you all had a great weekend, especially all of you mommas out there.  Although  I didn’t get to see my own mom, I got to see my future mother-in-law.  Thankfully, I saw my mom last week!  Here’s a candid from about 10 years ago. Love ya, Mama!

This past weekend was pretty random.  It started on a sad note when I saw this turtle get run over on my way home from work Sad smile

We went to Starbucks happy hour to make up for how sad I was over the turtle.

I also got a lot crossed off of my never-ending to-do list.  The house is clean, my inbox is cleared, and lots of little things have been completed.  I feel productive! We also showed Trav’s mom around the area a bit.  It was nice to spend time with his family, and we enjoyed a good meal, too Smile

I honestly think that I had the best chicken sandwich I’ve ever tasted.  We went to the Irish Penny with his parents.  It’s a restaurant that just opened in Salisbury, and I give it a hundred thumbs up.

Grilled chicken with provolone and bacon on a PRETZEL ROLL.  With their chips on the side.  Ah-mazing.

I also meal planned for the week.  Because I am starting to coach TODAY, I needed easy things that Travis can make himself without much thought.  My practice is from 4-7, and we typically eat early around 5, so he will be eating alone 3 days a week.

Monday: Crockpot Buffalo Chicken (coaching)

Tuesday: Turkey meatloaf – no recipe yet…

Wednesday: Chicken sausage, rice, and salad/veggies (coaching)

Thursday: Turkey burgers and veggies (coaching)

Friday: leftovers or out to eat!

Andddd, here’s a picture of Rexy for ya!

Off to work I go. And then it’s off to practice! Yay! Smile Hope you have a great Monday!

Funny Flashbacks

Travis and I saw Gatsby last night, and it did NOT disappoint.  Goodness gracious, just as good as I remember the book to be! I liked the ways that they adapted the book without really changing much.  And the cast…oh, the cast.  Leo is my second favorite actor (can’t forget about JGL) and Tobey is also a top favorite.  The cast RULED.  And the symbolism from the book was ever present in the movie (which I love). I highly recommend it Smile

Flashing back to my 11th grade Gatsby reading days made me remember that I never put all of my old pictures onto my external harddrive.  I went ahead and did that the other day, and I came across some really really awesome pictures dating back over 10 years.  I feel like I show you old pictures of myself more than new pictures, but I find them so hysterical that I just can’t refrain. Let’s go a picture a year starting in 2002.

Assateague in April

If Friday and Saturday weren’t good enough, we made the weekend even better yesterday.  We headed to Assateague Island for our monthly check-in.  The weather was absolutely gorgeous!

The Assateague ponies are so awesome.  There was one as we came on to the island, and two racing down the beach.  There was also a pelican, which always reminds me of Finding Nemo. I also always think it is cool that Ocean City, MD looks so close but in reality is pretty far away haha.

We got about a two mile walk in before heading home.  It was a great addition to our monthly trip to the shore Smile

If you want to see our previous trips, head to these posts:

Surfers in February

Rex on the beach in March

Keep coming back every month and you’ll see more for sure! Smile I just can’t wait until I can get in a swim while we are there.  The water was only about 50 degrees, and I am definitely not okay with that! haha.

Alright, off to the pool and then off to work! Time to get back into the swing of things!

How was your weekend?
