Heavenly

It has been a rough few weeks. So words cannot explain how happy I am to have last night, today, and Saturday off! Last night was my 1st real night of sleep in awhile, and I was delirious. My poor husband did not sleep well, due to my talking throughout the night and attempts to sleep walk.

Apparently there were four instances where I would tap him and ask "How are you feeling?? Are you feeling okay?"

But I feel very refreshed & rested today! :) (Poor guy. I used to be a sleep walker/talker when I was younger ...but thought maybe I had outgrown that?!)

On the agenda for this weekend & a few tidbits:

  • Enjoying a cup of coffee and reading my Kindle. I'm reading "The Four Hour Body" right now. It's written by the same guy that wrote "The Four Hour Work Day" -- he's one that believes things can be achieved in short periods of time in a fast-pace. His book references several professional/olympic atheletes, MD's, sports medicine docs, etc.....I'm very curious what he has to say...so that's what I'm reading! If his method's are believable, I am game. But this health nut is skeptical!
  • The coffee I'm drinking is "Organic Swiss Almond Beans" -- I got them from the farmers market in my neighborhood. It is delicious -- has a rich blend to them!
  • My husband has his "off Friday" today. His company gives them every other Friday off. We never seem to "match" on those -- so this is wonderful.
  • Yesterday I saw my husband for the 1st time since Monday. And we live in the same house. So today is nice.
  • We went to one of my favorite brewery's in town  for a drink & some smoked salmon. It was heavenly. They serve my favorite beer in the whole world. It's called "Orange-You-Glad". It's a very heffenweizen-ish tasting brew. But extra-orange. Yum.
  • I am currently in search for a new, interesting recipe for burgers -- for I'm wanting a gourmet-style burger tonight. (I'm open to your suggestions!!)
  • We have a wedding to attend tomorrow - which is the 1st wedding I've been to since our own wedding!
  • I wonder if I'll get teary eyed. I used to dislike weddings. I'd rollll my eyes at the criers. I'd say, "Oh for God's sake. Get ahold of your emotions, you sap"
  • Now, whenever I see a wedding on tv -- I get tears in my eyes.
  •  I even got a tear in my eye during Jim & Pam's wedding on the "The Office".
Have a fantastic weekend everyone!

This is my suggestion for your gourmet burger:

I have never made them, but I have eaten many of these burgers at Bar Lurcat in Minneapolis and I adore them.

Enjoy this much deserved break!

Oh I'm excited to hear what you think of "Four Hour Body". I read an interesting review of it on No Meat Athlete! I still want to read the Four Hour Work Day book too.

Enjoy your time off!

One Confused Lady

Yesterday morning was packed with a session of cross training.....rushed home to shower and get professional-looking....headed across town for an interview.....kicked butt at my interview...."bopped" over to our house to see the progress of the build......headed to the "design center" to sign more paperwork.... (Side note: I cannot get over just how much paperwork is involved in building a house. Holy Hannah. And we haven't even closed !!! Iy-yi-yi....Those lovely people in history who got law-suit-happy.....God bless 'em.) Yesterday was a good day! So here's a little humor for your Thursday. A little thought. A little depth.....( A little cynical rant ) Afterwards, I decided to head to one of my favorite places to peruse.... Target. But my experience at Target was far from fun, relaxing, or pleasant. Just confusing. Loud. Crazy. Despite many screaming children-temper tantrums.... Which is common and un-escapable. Although screaming chi...

A weekend of the great outdoors

As I am preparing for my return to the real world tomorrow, I feel a strong sense of dread. As I won't have a weekend or free week for a long while! Instead of focusing on that.......I'm sharing a few snapshots from our awesome weekend! This weekend we were in Big Lake, AZ -- which is about 20 miles from the New Mexico border (just 5 1/2 hours from our house). (last weekend we were in Parker Canyon...which I will blog about another day) We camped from Friday-Monday, which was the perfect length of time. The temperatures were a great escape from hot Tucson. In fact...it was VERY cold at night. It was in the low 30's at night, 60's during the day. The trout fishing was incredible. Here's a few snapshots: Home Sweet Home for the weekend! Look at the giant tree I cut down!!! Wow!! (Okay, this was posed...) But...Ryan did teach me how to use a wood-saw! There were tons of dead/fallen trees lying around. So we cut all our firewood for the weekend! I felt very ...

Ten on Tuesday!

1. If you could travel back in time, would you? What decade would you visit? I would. I think I'd visit the 50's, just for a week - for it'd probably get really old. Sometimes... I just want to wear cute house dresses and aprons. And the only care in the world would be cooking and cleaning and being an all-star housewife. 2. What was your best Halloween costume? (fun to make? most creative?) Probably the clown costumes my Mom sewed when I was young. They were amazing. Also, an occasion in college when all the girls hit the frats dressed up as sexy nurses, naughty cops, and other profanities....I taped purple balloons all over my body and went as a "Bunch of Grapes". Classy. 3. Do you like your name? If you weren't called by your name, what would you want to be called? I would love my name. But everyone seems to think it's cool to name their dogs Abby these days too. I know so many people who are like "Your name is Abby? Oh cool! That'...
