How was everyone's weekend?
Re: Happy Monday!!!
Kat - Yay for a 3 day work week!!
Friday I went to my stepsons 8th grade promotion. We all went out to lunch after and since lunch took a little longer than expected, DH stayed home from work too. We hung out and went to dinner. Saturday we got up and drove down to Dana Point and visited the Ocean Institute. Then headed home and watched golf and a movie. Yesterday the kids came over for Father's Day and we spent the afternoon re-setting up the pool. We had originally set it up under the patio but then the water would stay cold so we moved it onto the grass. Then we cooked carne asada tacos. I made beans and rice and had root beer floats for dessert. Then we went and saw Toy Story 3. It was so cute and a little sad....
Tonight I have laundry to do....
Any special amount or combo for the non shampoo? It is probably obvious but I am not sure.
Thank you! One less chemical and cost sounds good to me.
Morning everyone! Weekend was super busy!
Friday did some last minute fathers day shopping at the mall and hit up CPK for dinner afterwards. It was a nice low key date night with H and we've been missing that lately.
Saturday got up early to start prepping for fathers day celebration #1. Made my dad's favorite carrot cake & cream cheese frosting from scratch, homemade parm & pepper cracks, and a feta salsa for an app. My parents came over with my younger sister in the afternoon and after dinner my folks left to catch their flight to Jamaica. My younger sister is staying with us for the week while they're gone so I'm excited!
Sunday another early morning since someone came to look at my car that we listed for sale and we agreed on an offer! They put a deposit down and are going to come sometime this week to pay the rest and pick up the car. After all that, I started working on prepping for fathers day celebration #2 with the ILs. I made roasted red pepper hummus and an orzo salad with roasted veggies for the picnic and both were big hits. After we got home everyone was beat so we all took a nap then watched Pirate Radio.
Not a productive weekend for me. I went to the gym on Friday, Saturday had family stuff, then made a BBQ-shaped Cake, Sunday had family stuff, then did lots of napping. For some reason it feels like I can't get enough sleep lately... I need to really focus on hitting the gym, rehabing my knee, and losing some weight... I'm trying to make sure to cook every night, and I've been taking lunch every day- and have protein shakes to supplement throughout the day- baby steps- Rome wasn't built in a day!
One great find I made- I went to Juice it Up- they have AMAZING protein shakes... I think it might be a weekly tradition on Saturday mornings after Yoga and Zumba!
Kat: What made you want to stop using shampoo? Or, switch to a different type of "shampoo"?
This weekend I was just in a funk. Idk, what was wrong w/me. We celebrated father's day early since P had to work Sunday. I cooked breakfast (french toast w/raspberry & cream cheese) then we headed to the pool. My gym has a beach entry that C just LOVED. He loved being able to walk around. looks like we'll be going there often this summer. Then home for nap. After nap/lunch we attempled to see TS3. Ok first off, it's been forever since I've been to the movies. Secondly I've never had to worry about going w/a toddler. The 3 pm showing was PACKED & people lined up a hr and a half before the showing. So we went to see the 4:30. P waited while I went to the play area w/C. It was going really well, but I didn't anticipate all 6 previews & cartoon short. So close to an hour later C was ready to leave. Eh, we'll try again when the crowds not so crazy. Then I had C finish his homemade gift for P. The rest of the weekend was nice & quiet. Went to the pool again on Sunday & grocery shopping.
Happy monday.
You are doing great! I'm looking forward to seeing you tomorrow.
