For those of you who celebrate Easter, Happy Easter to you!!\u00a0 Today has been an amazingly relaxing day.\u00a0 Despite time flying by, which always happens on Sundays, it was a good day.<\/p>\n

I slept in a little this morning and got up around 7:30ish.\u00a0 I took care of Rocks and noticed how amazing it was outside.\u00a0 I debated about going for a run or not and decided that my mental health needed<\/em> a run this morning.\u00a0 I took it easy and slow.\u00a0 I only did 2.5 miles this morning partly because I would be taking a long walk with Rocky later and partly because I didn’t wear anything on my head and my ears got cold.\u00a0 Doh!\u00a0 I keep forgetting about the new headband I bought which covers just my ears to keep them warm.\u00a0 I considered making it 3.5 miles but my ears were too cold.<\/p>\n

I wasn’t really in the mood for CS<\/abbr> and I was only out for 28 minutes, hardly requiring a recovery drink, so I skipped it.\u00a0 I went straight into stretching and then changed out of running clothes into my robe.\u00a0 Mmm heaven.\u00a0 Then it was time for coffee!<\/p>\n

\"morning<\/a>

I also had a bit of yogurt and granola (Bear Naked fruit and nut) with my coffee.\u00a0 I did office stuff and then started looking at cabins to rent in the Hocking Hills area.\u00a0 Scott and I very much need an escape however most cabins are now “in season” putting them out of our price range.\u00a0 I’ll have to see what I can find that is seculded, has covered hot tub, and allows pets (and pets over 45lbs.\u00a0 Hate pet weight limits!\u00a0 So dumb.).\u00a0 *sigh*\u00a0 It was nice to have that moment of planning a mini vacation.<\/p>\n

Scott got up and I had another mug of coffee.\u00a0 Finally after I was done puttering around on the computer, I headed up to take a shower and become Weekend Presentable.\u00a0 Then I made us some lunch.\u00a0 I thought about a proper Sunday breakfast but wasn’t really in the mood for pancakes or things like that.\u00a0 I noticed a lot of bloggers going out to bistros over the weekend for lunch and brunch which made me finally decide on a bistro style lunch for us.<\/p>\n

We had salmon mixed with chive cream cheese on top of pumpernickle.\u00a0 A side salad of mixed greens, raisins, sunflower and pumpkin seeds with the rest of the tomato viniagrette dressing.\u00a0 And a smoothie!<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 2 C unsweetened cranberry juice<\/li>\n
  • 1 C of OJ<\/li>\n
  • Bunch of kale<\/li>\n
  • 1 banana<\/li>\n
  • Frozen blueberries<\/li>\n
  • Frozen raspberries<\/li>\n
  • Blackberries<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Berrytastic!\u00a0 Plus it was an amazing color.\u00a0 Lunch was so good and totally filling.\u00a0 Afterwards we headed over to a local park for a walk with Rocks.\u00a0 Then it was back home for more relaxing.\u00a0 We relaxed for a bit and Scott took a nap. While he was napping I talked with my mom for a little while.\u00a0 Once Scott got up it was time to decide what we were doing about dinner.\u00a0 He was hungry and I was only munchie.\u00a0 While we discussed things I had a small palmful of rice snacks and three pistachios.\u00a0 Finally it was decided to make snackies and have things to pick from.<\/p>\n

    Healthy plate.<\/p>\n

        \"The

        The whole party <\/p><\/div>\n

        All together, along with a glass of wine.\u00a0 Mmmmm!\u00a0 I mostly ate from the healthy plate. :D\u00a0 I had most of the apple, a few small nibs of cheddar, all the cucmber, and most of the carrot.\u00a0 I think maybe 3 apricots.\u00a0 From the junk plate I had 1\/2 an eggroll, 1.5 moz sticks, and what probably amounts to half a sausage.\u00a0 I know we’re also having dessert tonight so I’m saving some room.<\/p>\n
