Case of the Mondays

Friends, I have a case of the Mondays. Probably because I had such a fun weekend, I didn't want it to end.

Saturday
-Went to the Pearl Farmers Market for produce and heard my friend Nico sing in her band!
-Went to a wine party where there was lots of cheese
-Baked a delicious cake (recipe and photos to come)

Sunday
-Ran 5 miles
-Had brunch with John and Carolyn, who I haven't seen in six years or so. We went to the same middle school and high school and have recently gotten back in touch through the magic of the Internet. We had fun gossiping about people from high school and eating some French food. I think Brasserie Pavil convinced Carolyn to come back to SA :)
-Painted some cabinets
-Made the first course for dinner club this week (some of you read this blog, so I'm not going to say what it is)

And then the weekend was over already! And now Monday is almost over too. Thank goodness, I hate Mondays.

What I did today instead of spending money

-Went to the Pearl Farmer's Market this morning. We bought lamb chops, beets, kohlrabi, onions, blackberries, spinach, leeks and peaches. I've eaten two peaches today, and we roasted the beets, cooked the lamb chops, and ate the spinach and onion in a salad. We're going to eat the leeks tomorrow. Clearly, we don't believe in delayed gratification.

Also, this doesn't count as spending money, because John paid for it. :) Hey, if I don't spend it, it doesn't count, right?

-Cleaned out my closet. I made a pile of stuff to give to Goodwill and rediscovered clothes that are cute but I don't wear them. It's like having new clothes!

-Organized the pantry. It is a crazy unorganized mess in there, but I straightened it.

-Cleaned off John's "work bench" aka his table in the office. (I'm beginning to realize most of my day sounds like what my friend Christine would call "married stuff." Mostly domestic crap.)

-Finished my mom's Mother's Day gift. Pictures to come. I like this idea so much, I'm going to do one for my dad for Father's Day!

-Thought about going to get ice cream, opted instead for pudding I had in the fridge.

-Cleaned the kitchen.

-Played with Buster. He's our 1.5 year old mutt. He's a good dog. I'll have to write a post on him someday.
