Hi guys!\u00a0 Yesterday I wanted nothing more than to just chill out with my huns and that’s exactly what I did!\u00a0 I was up before he was, so I wrote my recap of Sunday dinner and then headed into the TV room. I had some coffee while flipping through the channels.<\/p>\n

\"Coffee

Coffee good, toast icky <\/p><\/div>\n

I also had a small piece of 9 grain bread toasted with a bit of almond butter.\u00a0 I love this bread but not as toast, ew.\u00a0 Nothing was on TV and I was so bummed out that TNT was not doing a Law&Order marathon but instead doing an ER marathon.\u00a0 What is up with that TNT?!\u00a0 Long weekends were made for Law&Order, not silly medical dramas that George Clooney won’t even acknowledge he was on.\u00a0 I’m just saying.<\/p>\n

So I watched Shat.\u00a0 What?\u00a0 His show was on, there was a marathon of his Shatner Raw show but I don’t remember the channel.\u00a0 I saw him chat with Nemoy and Drew Carey.\u00a0 They actually weren’t bad shows!\u00a0 They did seem short though as the show is only 1\/2 an hour long.\u00a0 And then I watched some Frasier which makes my heart squee because I love that show so much.\u00a0 Then<\/em> I kicked it with the girls for a bit because We (dumbest name for a channel ever) was having a Golden Girls Marathon.<\/p>\n

Frasier and Golden Girls make me laugh out loud and it’s not often that happens.\u00a0 I’m pretty picky when it comes to my entertainment and what I’ll actually label as something that I like.\u00a0 I thought back and I don’t remember what the most recent live action comedy show was that made me laugh out loud.\u00a0 Family Guy and King of the Hill crack me up, but those are cartoons.\u00a0 Scott and I don’t even watch any 1\/2 comedy shows because there is nothing good on.\u00a0 I used to watch Friends back when it was good, and that would be the first few years.\u00a0 And Seinfeld was great.\u00a0 But after that?\u00a0 I’m drawing a blank.\u00a0 News Radio will always be tops in my heart. :D<\/p>\n

After Scott got up, I decided to make us a quick breakfast.<\/p>\n

\"Sunday

Sunday style <\/p><\/div>\n

Blueberry pancakes and chicken sausage.\u00a0 I dipped my pancakes in maple syrup.\u00a0 I started with a pancake and a half, then ate the other half.\u00a0 They were so yummy and I was still feeling a bit empty.\u00a0 After breakfast, we took Rocks out in the backyard for a bit to run around and get some exercise.\u00a0 Back inside, we sat down to finally finish off Lost.<\/p>\n

\"Fizzie

Fizzie fun <\/p><\/div>\n

And sipped on some fizzies.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • POM<\/li>\n
  • Unsweetened cranberry juice<\/li>\n
  • Cran-raspberry seltzer<\/li>\n
  • Frozen raspberries<\/li>\n
  • Frozen pineapple<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    ***SPOILERS***<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Any one else think that Jacob went out like a punk?\u00a0 Jeeze the dude’s been living for how long only to get stabbed twice by Ben?\u00a0 He couldn’t have seen that coming?\u00a0 And he can die that easily?\u00a0 Really?!\u00a0 What a waste of energy.\u00a0 And Juliette?\u00a0 Wha?!\u00a0 If I was able to move, you bet your ass I would have tried to climb back out.\u00a0 The bomb didn’t blow up, then eff it!\u00a0 I’m outta here.\u00a0 And how much do I want to punch Miles in the throat?\u00a0 What a douchebag he is to Hurley.\u00a0 Jack needs to get over himself. And don’t you love how all the guys have to wear their overhall uniforms but all the girls have to wear “normal” clothes that show off their boobs and butts?\u00a0 That’s just peachy ABC.\u00a0 \/mini-rant<\/p>\n

    After Lost, since we wouldn’t be grilling for a while, I made us a quick snack because I was a little empty and my body needed some veggies.<\/p>\n

    \"Snack

    Snack of champions <\/p><\/div>\n

    Quickie salads and some chips because it’s a holiday! :p\u00a0 My salad had:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Mixed greens<\/li>\n
    • Sunflower and pumpkin seeds<\/li>\n
    • Cranberries<\/li>\n
    • Raisins<\/li>\n
    • Blueberry granola<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Topped with balsamic and olive oil.\u00a0 The chips were onion and baked salt and vinegar.\u00a0 I stuck with the S&V.\u00a0 Real “fried” chips seem so heavy to me anymore and just weigh me down.\u00a0 I can have like 3 and that’s about my limit.\u00a0\u00a0 After our mini snack, we played some Lego Batman.\u00a0 Goodness I love this game!\u00a0 If you like games where you have to find hidden treasures and need to figure out puzzles, this is the perfect game for that.\u00a0 We played for a while and eventually both of us started getting hungry.\u00a0 It was time to grill!\u00a0 And we were having fajitas!<\/p>\n

      I had some flank steak hanging out with a dry rub all day.\u00a0 I roasted some red onion and green peppers in the oven.\u00a0 And also had some shredded carrot and zucchini ready for some extra veg.\u00a0 On the side were limas, green beans, and corn that I heated up in a little bit of BBQ sauce.\u00a0 And there were also deviled eggs!<\/p>\n

      \"BBQ

      BBQ Style <\/p><\/div>\n

      I didn’t eat mine in a tortilla.\u00a0 I just cut off two small pieces of steak and had that with the veggies.\u00a0 It was fabbo!\u00a0 The shredded carrot and zucchini provided a nice contrast and texture change since they weren’t cooked.\u00a0 The cool paired with the warm turned out really well.\u00a0 The BBQ veggies I was lukewarm on so I didn’t eat all of those and I only had 1 egg.<\/p>\n

      After dinner it was more chilling on the couch.\u00a0 We watched some other shows and Scott snagged some Cabin Fever.<\/p>\n

      \"I

      I keep wanting to say Log Cabin...<\/p><\/div>\n

      I had a few sips here and there, mmmm beer!\u00a0 And there was dessert!<\/p>\n

      \"Dessert!\"

      Dessert!<\/p><\/div>\n

      A coconut Parisian maccaroon.\u00a0 I had a few bites, it was really mouth puckering sweet.\u00a0 Around 11ish I headed off to sleepytown.\u00a0 I had the best weekend with my love.\u00a0 It’s not often we get to just hang out and do nothing.\u00a0 We always have something going on which can sort of feel like we don’t have any down time.\u00a0 This weekend was a nice unplug and recharge kind of time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
