Butternut Squash And Cinnamon Vodka

Sounds like a strange flavor combination, but I promise it is rather marvelous. I'll explain in a second...

 This weekend was a pretty low key one in our neck of the woods. Troy and I spent Friday night watching the show, 24, all night long. Once we start a series we need to finish it asap.

Since Friday night we spent glued to the tv, we ventured out Saturday night to meet up with friends. But let's back it up to the morning. I figured we would be out late that evening and Sunday would end up being a rest day. You know when you're in one of those zombie states at the gym? Yeah that was me on the treadmill. I did some HIIT cardio for 30 minutes and called it a day.

My Birthday

23 is off to a fabulous start!  I can't believe I am only two years away from turning 25. Time really does fly by.

So far my birthday morning has been great.

But, backing up to yesterday, I spent the majority of the day lounging around in my pajamas. Fabuuuuulous. After being away for a week, it was nice to sleep in my own bed. Around 1:30 I finally headed got my butt off the couch to the gym. Since I only had 45 minutes, I decided for a shoulder & hamstring workout. I was not in the mood at all, but it left me feeling energized. The rest of the day was spent getting some food in the fridge and unpacking.

Of course I had to pick up some birthday goodies at the food store.

And it's back to Monday again! Hope you all are recovered from the St. Patrick's Day shenanigans. No hangover for me since I'm still fighting off this nasty cold.

I did celebrate a little bit with a green lime refresher from Starbucks. That's got to count for something right? I should have ordered a grande though. My mom describes a tall as "3 sips and you're done".

Big Party Animals

So all those plans for the weekend I told you guys about yesterday? They all had to get canceled. Friday morning started with a case of the sniffles. Then, by last night it was a full blown sinus infection. I plan on taking it easy, but hoping to celebrate St. Patrick's Day tomorrow somehow!

When I came home from school yesterday, this guy met me at the door. Somebody needs a haircut and it ain't me. He's starting to look a little shaggy.
