Hello hello!
So, I didn't get Willa to post her own blog post; she was busy crawling everywhere in the house and making me laugh! In regards to that, I had a wonderful time babysitting Willa with my Mom. We played upstairs, ate Cheerios and watched Househunters. My Mom and I ordered delicious Chinese food and devoured it! It was a wonderful night and I can't wait to see Meghan, David and Willa Kate soon, whenever that may be :)
On Saturday, I visited Black Bear Casino and walked with nothin'. Guess that Vegas luck doesn't travel to the Midwest, unfortunately. After that, I went to Andrew's UST Law hockey game with Julie, Joe and the kids. His team ended up losing but it was fun to watch nonetheless! Andrew and I ate dinner at Longfellow Grill, a favorite place, and he had the chicken sandwich while I ordered (and crushed!) and veggie sandwich with sweet potato fries. (I promised I would blog about my newfound vegetarian/pescatarian lifestyle so I'm trying to remember to do that!)
After an awesome dinner, I met up with my good friend from work, Ashley Maldonado, for some drinks and chit chat at Stella's in Uptown. I also made a new friend, named Jenna, who I hope to see soon with Ashley! Overall, it was a wonderful night and I'm looking forward to more of them in the future!
Today has been a day of relaxation. Just about to start grilling salmon and potatoes. I boiled Yukon Gold potatoes on the stove to soften them up (less grilling time), and then sliced them up, poured some olive oil in there and finished with chopped onions and herb seasoning on top. Hopefully, they turn out to be tasty. Side items will probably be fresh green beans with garlic and soy sauce, paired with steamed broccoli.
My vegetarian/pescatarian diet choice has required me to change my eating habits, obviously, but also set a schedule for breakfast and lunch. For breakfast, I make a smoothie blended together by strawberries, blackberries, one banana, blueberries, half a scoop protein powder, 1/4 cup of milk and a spoonful of yogurt. This mix gives me the energy I need to make it to lunch at noon without any hunger pains. Lunch is always a spinach salad with avocado, onion, tomato, cucumbers, pinch of romano cheese and olive oil/red wine vinaigrette dressing. That's whats cooking in my kitchen lately.
Totally unrelated note: I haven't been sick in two years. TWO YEARS! Not even a stuffy nose, sore throat or a cough. And then today, all of the sudden, I have a sore throat. Not happy about it at all--I brag to everyone about my lack of sickness and now I'm the one complaining. Okay, back to homework and grilling! Bye :)
