My day has been extreeeemly productive so far!
1. “Return” sweater and get 2 for the price of 1: Check.
2. Lunch at in-laws: Check.
On the menu: Fresh Steamed Green Beans, Mashed Potatoes & Grilled Steak. YUM! My Mother-in-law makes some fantaaaaaastic mashed potatoes and this was the first batch we’ve had since last winter!
Dessert was more of that mouth watering Apple Crisp from last night.
Droooool…look at that crisp!
3. Grocery shopping: Check.
4. Picked up goodie bag from friend’s parent’s house: Check.
After my almond butter-sans-seal debacle last week, one of my best friends who lives in Chicago offered to pick me up some goodies from Trader Joes – she is the best! She was meeting up with her parents this weekend (who live by me) so she gave them the package to bring back to town. In said package? Almond Butter!!! I cannot WAIT to dig into this baby!
She also got my faaaaaaaavorite – Australian Licorice!!
I have gotten a bunch of different brands of Australian licorice in the past, but NONE of them compare to the kind they sell at Trader Joes…it.is.so.friggin.good. YUM!
5. “Exercise”: Check.
It was blazing hot out so my exercise for today was cleaning out my car, shop vac’ing and hand washing it. My arms, which were already sore from painting for nine hours, really felt this!
Here she is – all shined up like a new penny nickel. I drive a Ford Focus – how about you? Did you name your car? In high school I drove a Tracker (I know) and it was named “The Trak Attack.” Other than that, I haven’t named any of my other cars!
6. Fold Laundry: mmmmm not checked…
Look at it just staring at me…I hate you laundry!
I suppose I should get started…I have a very important game to watch in T minus 1 hour. The Miami Hurricanes have their season opener tonight at 7 and their number one fan just happens to be my husband, Ben. Seriously, if you hear someone yelling at 7:10 tonight – don’t worry, it’s only him. He is one of the most laid back, sweetest people you will ever meet – but turns into a psychotic fan, screaming at the top of his lungs at every play, good or bad, when the canes start playing. Ay dios mio…
Have a great night everyone – short week ahead!
HELL YES FOR THE NEW JAR OF TJ’S ALMOND BUTTER!!
Lunch looks great, have fun with your hubby watching the game!
I love the Ann Taylor Loft sweaters, i have the same one in purple!
I have for some reason named my car. His name is “Old Man Sable” hahahaha i love him
hopefully the folding of the laundry isnt so bad!!!
Well…at least that laundry just has to be folded. Me on the other hand…ahh better get started on it. I’ll pick up some Australian licorice next time I’m by TJ. Are they much different from your regular licorices?
I love productive “Sundays”; it always makes the transition back to work a little easier!
Have a good, SHORT week!
Mmm! That licorice looks ah-mazing!
and booo! Go Noles!
HAHA IGE… my hubby is G-L-U-E-D to the tv for every Miami game he can get his hands on that is televised… wearing his jersey, socks and some kind of pants or shorts, possibly even slippers. How crazy are they? I love your blog and look forward to reading it twice a day.
Love the 2 for 1 deals!
And how fortuniate that you got AB and Licorice all in the same day! Score!!!
i HATE laundry.. it makes my hands dry.. is taht weird?
Track Attack is an amazing name.. haha
i love australian licorice! and just black licorice! yumms
so true that painting makes you so sore!! last time it was my quads from squatting repeatedly
I’m glad you got your TJ goods!! I ALWAYS name my cars… right now we have Ellie and Roxie!! Happy Labor Day!!
That’s the greatest feeling to be super productive and not get sidetracked when trying to check things off your to-do list! Great job girl!!!!!!
How could you not name your cars!!! Mine is Enzo!
Oh I am envious of your productive day, good job! I agree with the laundry – worst. chore. ever. !!
How sweet of your friend! I had mashed potatoes today too!
Laundry has an evil habit of staring. That’s why I taught Hunni to fold
How sweet of your friend to get you a TJ’s gift bag. Nice to have your almond butter back I’m sure. And I love those sweaters
Yay, TJ’s almond butter! I just got back from TJ’s. I drive a Ford Focus too. It’s blue…and his name is Blue…so I can say, “You’re my boy, Blue!” (Old School)
Nothing better than TJ’s AB! Have you ever tried the raw kind?
I have a love/hate relationship with laundry. Sometimes folding my clothes is therapeutic, other times meh.
LOL about your husband. My family gets too noisy when watching tennis on tv. When there’s a Nadal-Federer match… god bless our neighbors.
hahahaha! i hate laundry too! we were supposed to start on it yesterday! but we didn’t. ugh.
my first car was my isuzu amigo — i named it angel! now i have a pontiac vibe — and i named it natalie — i know — it’s lame — but I love natalie portman, and i felt like, my car is girly but sporty much like her!
all we did was window shop.
I love those licorice. They sell them at TJ’s. Can’t get enough of them and that is probably why I rarely buy them. Lol
[...] agenda includes folding some laundry finallyyyyy (errrr Kristin, I may be winning with the laundry folding procrastination… I am horrible, which is so weird [...]
