Hi there! Sorry I
missed you on Friday, this whole time change had me messed up before it even
arrived apparently. How was your
weekend? Mine was great, thanks for
asking.
It started out with lunch from Whole Foods which included
this tasty El Spicy Rabbit juice:
I’m glad the one near my work is such a PITA to get to
otherwise I’d spend more money at their juice and salad bars than a caffeine addict
spends on their twice a day Starbucks habit.
And since they were on super sale (yes those DO exist at Whole Foods…..sometimes)
I picked up some tulips. They’re my
favorite so how could I not.
We also spent some time throwing around boy names with my
sister. Seriously, naming a child is
very difficult. We’ve been set on a Girl
name for a while. That one was
easy. It just came to us, we both loved
it, and that was that. So if it is a
girl, we’re set. Boy name, not so
much. I think I’ve been waiting to have
the same feeling about a boy name as I did with our girl name and I just haven’t
yet.
On Saturday we got our taxes done and had dinner with my
family at our house to celebrate my Dad’s birthday. In all honesty the tax appointment was
painless. Gathering all of our paper
work to take to a new CPA was another story but alas, we survived.
I spent a majority of Sunday trying to get ready for a busy
week. We have an appointment on
Wednesday so I’ll be working long hours the rest of the week to cover the time
I’ll be gone. It’s an awesome benefit
but also makes for VERY long days. That
being said, I tried to keep dinners quick and simple because most nights I won’t
be home until a few hours after the husband.
This way he can either get things started for me or dinner will already
be cooked and he can just come home and enjoy.
The meal prep (with shopping) takes at least ½ of my day but makes the
entire week easier on everyone.
Here’s what’s on our menu:
Monday: Root
beer Pulled Pork Sandwiches (minus liquid smoke) with Cole Slaw
Tuesday: Left Overs because our fridge is full of them!
Wednesday: Calzones
and Green Salad ( I don’t follow a recipe but you can’t go wrong with The Pioneer Woman)
Thursday: Taco Salads with
Seasoned Ground Turkey (minus cilantro because it tastes like soap to me)
Friday: Veggie Burgers (from Costco) and Sweet Potato Fries
And for those of you suffering from post time change brain,
a tune that will get stuck in your head:
Happy Monday!
Don't know if I've told you, but congratulations on the baby boy! :) Not that you've asked, but here's my favorite boy names in hopes it'll spark some names for your baby boy! Parker, Carter, Hudson, Liam, Landon, Nolan, and Asher. Sadly these names won't be used by me for our future child, but maybe you'll fall in love with one! Have a great week!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! We actually aren't sure if we'll be having a boy but we'd like to have a name idea just in case :) A few in your list are actually on ours too so who knows, we just might pick one! Have a great week!
