Taking some time

February 21, 2013

Two things I’ve really been enjoying this week. Taking some time for myself and cooking.

Yesterday I left the house with the intention of signing up for a few trial yoga classes. The studio was closed but right next store was a tea shop. I ordered a pot of tea and spent the next hour and a half reading magazines and drinking tea. It was lovely.

After my relaxing time at the tea shop I came home and started on dinner. The main course was a concoction of vegetables we had in our fridge with tempeh and garlic chips to top it off served or quinoa. The side was roasted sweet potatoes with maple syrup and toasted sesame seeds. I also threw together a salad with oranges, apples, pecans and a dressing of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, fresh squeezed orange juice, salt & pepper, and a dash of hot sauce.

Books and sun

February 20, 2013

The sun came out yesterday big and bright! This was a great thing because the day before I was in a mood, let me tell you. I practically threw a fit over basically nothing and I just couldn’t shake that feeling all day. We all have those days. I needed sleep and the sun the next day sure helped. I walked instead of biked to the post office and then sat in the little park near our apartment and read.

When I came back inside the sun was shining on my favorite part of the couch so I curled up like a cat and kept on reading. Then to top it all off I met Walker in the park when he got out of work and kicked the soccer ball around letting off any residual steam. I feel much better indeed!

The rest of our friend visit

February 18, 2013

Last week I shared a little about our visit from friends. Today I’m wrapping it up. We finished up our trip by doing a bit of wine tasting, showing them one of our favorite farmer’s market (had brunch), and took them to the beach at Discovery park.
