The Highlights

Hey hey! Today was a mix of productive, relaxing, boring and fun. The highlights?

Waking up late to the sound of rain and realizing we can just stay in bed for a while if that’s what we wanted to do. :)

Being able to seclude myself, reading and studying away for my first Nutrition exam (I think I did well – I don’t think I got a 100%, but I’m still thinking it’s an A!) while my husband takes care of folding all the laundry I washed yesterday.

Green smoothies always make highlights in my book. ;) This one featured my current favorite frozen fruit – frozen dark, sweet, pitted cherries! Loving them!

Exercise makes the highlight list too – after the online exam I had just enough time to get in a quick 35 minute stationary bike session before showing and heading out to see my MOM!

Seeing my mom was definitely the highlight of the day. I always miss my family and I have no idea when I’ll next be going down to see everyone in Sarasota. My mom is a teacher, but she’s also an author (school-related books) and she and her co-author/ BFF Susan had a seminar/ workshop they led in the panhandle today. Fortunately Susan’s sons live in Gainesville, too, so it was a win-win. They were able to make a pit-stop in Gainesville and both see a kid!

We headed to Moe’s, an easy stop for everyone. I had my usual: junior-sized “Big Moo” burrito with light rice, black beans, lettuce, salsa, guac, black olives and cilantro. Instead of leaving you with my standard stock photo, I’ll give you a photo from the website…except my burrito actually looked nothing like that since there was no chicken or cheese!

On that note, I’m off to finish my day with more highlights: pajamas, movie, snuggles, bed.

What was the highlight(s) of your day?

    Sounds like a nice day! :) My highlights were new running shoes and an unplanned dinner with friends.

    My highlight today was spending lots of time working with my dog on his training. Always love spending time with the pup and rewarding to see something fruitful come of it.

    Your end of the day plan sounds perfect!

    Aw that’s nice that it worked out for you to see your mom!

    The highlight of my weekend this far was sleeping. Andy and I are both sick so sleep felt sooo good!

    Moe’s is always a highlight! It might even be a highlight of my life! I love that place!!
