Incomplete Weekend To Do List

My weekend to do list of 5 million things did not have many scratch throughs.  Although, I did get more accomplished than last weekend aka the weekend of "yes". 

Friday night I picked up an extra shift at work, then went home and crashed.

Saturday morning my bestie and I met at the park for a really hot, quick 2 mile run.  Then, I hit up the 9:30 CrossFit class which was a skill day.  We worked on a lot of core movements (arch rocks, hollow rocks, tucks) and ring stuff (inverted hangs, false grip, and holds).  After all that, we did 100 wall squats and 200 double unders for form, not time.  My calves are so sore from those double unders!

While at CrossFit, my mom had left me a message saying she was at Dillards and they had an extra 30% off all the sale stuff.  I was a sweaty mess, but cannot miss a deal, so my stinky butt went to Dillards.  I bought a couple of dresses and a few shirts.  (I have to take one of the dresses back.  I was so stinky and sweaty that I refused to try it on in the store.  When I put it on at home, it was hideous!)

Eventually, after a trip to Sam's and scarfing down a huge salad, I took a much needed shower. Another trip to the grocery store later, I made guacamole deviled eggs and watermelon margaritas to bring to a barbeque.  The margaritas were a little bit too strong this time around and we didn't even finish one of the 3 pitchers I brought. Needless to say, we ended up at a bar and the night got a little crazy.

Sunday was the usual: lunch at mom and dad's.  The evening was spent doing laundry, poisoning the weeds in my flower beds, cooking for the week (2 new recipes to come!), and watching Contraband.  Oh how I love Mark Walberg.  He is my ultimate celebrity crush!

Things still on my to-do list: clean my bathroom, create a recipage for this blog, return books to the library and get new ones (I'm now overdue 2 days!), make popsicles, replace the flowers in the pots on my front porch.

But this week's schedule is not nearly as crazy as last week, so maybe I'll find the time to get these things done.  Also, since Wednesday is a work holiday, I'm considering using vacation days Thursday and Friday to make for an extra long holiday weekend.

Workout plan for the week:
Monday- 3 mile run   slept through my opportunity :(
Tuesday- 5:30 AM CrossFit
Wednesday- 4 miler on the 4th! 
Thursday- SeeFit: Road2theCure mini competition at CrossFit
Friday- 5:30 PM CrossFit (and maybe stand up paddle boarding if I take off work?!)
Saturday- 3 mile run + CrossFit or 5 mile run
Sunday- 3 mile run


Who is your ultimate celebrity crush?  Did you do anything fun and crazy this weekend?

The Friday Five

1. What I'm Reading: The Mockingjay

source

I finished The Hunger Games and Girl on Fire.  I have yet to see the movie; Mom and  I may go today.  The first book was very enjoyable, but the further I get into the series, the less interested I become.  I feel no real attachment to any of the characters and am much more into the political aspects of the book than the relationships.

Although, I do think it is a great series for young adults because Katniss is a great role model (especially compared to the heroine of another wildly popular, made into movie, science fiction young adult series) and it raises the question of how much government control is too much.

2. What I'm Watching: Shahs of Sunset


source

Bless you, Bravo, for this wonderful gift.  I am in awe of the cast; they are amazing, ridiculous, hilarious, and downright entertaining.  Reeza's one-liners kill me!

3. What I'm Eating: Asparagus.

It's no secret I'm obsessed.  Since it's in-season and has been on sale, I've been eating absurd quantities.

4.  What I'm Listening To: NPR podcast: Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me

source

It's very entertaining and the perfect length for weekday runs (between 45-50 minutes).  A humorous way to fit the news into my week.

5.  What I'm Pinning spending countless hours online scouring: cars

It's official that my car is totaled, so I'm currently car shopping.  This is the only kind of shopping I don't enjoy.  *Sigh.  


Bonus: What I'm Contributing to Easter Dinner:

source

strawberry ice box cake (I'm attempting to make it more Paleo friendly by using full-fat coconut milk in the place of heavy cream and agave instead of confectioners sugar)

source

white wine sangria with apples, blackberries, and hopefully peaches, if I can find some

source

hummus (My aunt fell in love with it when she tried it at Zeus, so I'm hoping she likes mine just as much.)

source

guacamole deviled eggs (A healthier alternative to traditional deviled eggs, which are always made with the broken paquing losers.)


Your turn.  What are you reading, eating, watching, listening to, searching the Internet for, and making for Easter? GO.
