Sunday Recap

Here’s what today’s plans were:

Since I’ve been working like crazy all week, the only thing I was working on today was a tan. Well, that happened, sort of, but my Sunday was filled with errands that I didn’t mind doing.

Thankfully I caught the sun at its peak this morning, because about an hour later, the storm clouds rolled in. I went outside & skipped for about 20 minutes and then laid out my yoga mat and did some au natural hot yoga. Then I threw on a romper & some tanning lotion and laid out for 20 minutes. I get a little antsy when I’m just laying there, so I knew I had to busy myself for a while. Before I left, I made some Chocolate Banana Almond Butter “ice cream”.

Reminds me of a Frosty from Wendy's except 10000000x better

I headed to Home Outfitters first. This is dangerous, because I can literally find a reason to buy absolutely anything and everything in that store. I was looking for some canisters to store my baking ingredients in, but they were a bit too expensive, so I think I’ll wait until I go to Target again. Then I popped by the Superstore and *impending random thought coming*. You know when you see someone driving or parking and you think, “What is that person doing?” Welp, that was me in the Superstore parking lot. I pulled in at a weird angle then tried to back out & pull in again. 3 times. With an audience. Admittedly, parking is not my strong suit at all.

I made parsnip fries for the fam tonight, and we each made our own Lazy Pizza. An easy Sunday dinner is a great Sunday dinner :)  

As for the rest of my night, I plan on not leaving my bed, watching movies and cleaning out the files in my MacBook. I love Sundays when you have no priorities and you choose the work so it doesn’t feel like a chore. This doesn’t happen every Sunday, but I’m grateful for today!

I can hear the Thunder starting.

Hope you’re all having a relaxing Sunday!

Is it done raining yet?

I am like the opposite of Bruno Mars’ ‘Lazy Song’ today. Today I feel like doing everything. But of course, a common theme is taking place here and I woke up to the sound of rain. So I will be doing everything inside. Seriously, why does rain have to ruin everything? And it’s under 50 degrees today. Unacceptable May weather. I want to go to the provincial parks. I want to go play OUTSIDE! It’s all muddy and underwater here.

So this morning has been rather all over the place. I’m going to take a long walk once the rain stops. If it stops. It had better stop. Because if it doesn’t….. *shakes fist*

So far, this morning and afternoon have consisted of Angry Birds, laundry, finally updating my iPod, and a smoothie in a bowl. It consisted of chia seeds, frozen raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries blended with coconut yogurt and cranberry juice.

I debated which colour to paint my nails.

I finally put up the dry erase board I got on clearance from Target in Chicago for messages and reminders of the utmost importance. 

Speaking of Target, I’m once again reminded how uncool Canada makes itself look from this. And for someone who was gone for 3 months, this gave me one or two seconds of excitement before seeing the name of the store was just a rip off, and it’s just some clothing store.

TARGET!!! .......................................................... apparel.

Such a tease. Although, the real Target is coming to Canada…in 2013.

Lunch was the leeeeeeeeettle bit of leftover chili (between my mom and I, dishes like that don’t last very long) and some parsnip fries.

These are just cut up parsnips seasoned with pepper & medium curry powder. They have such a sharp flavour, but they’re so good! Served with some organic ketchup. I normally eat my fries with mustard, but since parsnips are definitely not your conventional fry, they deserve some tomato condiments to make them more appetizing.

These were consumed while writing this blog post. There’s also a House Hunters International marathon that’s begging for my attention. I have such a fantastic idea for dinner tonight! I hope it turns out. My recipe ideas sometimes sound so much better in my head than they are on a plate.

What do you do when you’re stuck inside?
