No One But Me Is Going To Find This Blog Post Interesting

So one of my favorite movies when I was younger was Camp.

I literally JUST figured something out about this movie two days ago.

Anna Kendrick

Mind blown.

Life Lately

Lots of dog snuggles on cold and rainy days

Getting the guest room ready and figuring out how to make that damn couch into a bed. Gizmo liked the finished product.

Taking every sunny moment we can to get the pups to the dog park.  Look how happy it makes Gizmo.

We started a diet.  More about that later.  Ugh, spinach all day.

Our first visitor!!  Such a fun couple of days with my sister.

Side Note:  anyone in the Annpolis area, eat here:

Vin 909

Holy crapoli, delicious!

I got cute new glasses from Firmoo.  Blog post on them soon.

I'm finally sick of top knots and have been rocking random, messy low buns all week.  I feel very cute and my head hurts less haha.

My Sunday mornings look like this now and I like it.  Who is this person?!

A Conversation Between Mike & I

In case you guys missed me.

I haven't been blogging much because I'm boring and a little obsessed with Revolt right now.

So here is a conversation that just happened between Mike and I:

Me out of nowhere, "Well, I don't love you either."

Mike, "I never said I don't love you, that makes no sense."

Me, "You didn't let me touch your abs."

Mike still stuck on me making no sense, "You saying either doesn't make sense, you're dumb."

Me, "I have so little in my life and your abs are one of my only good things!"

Mike shuts the door.

Revolt Week 1 Down!

Hey All!

I've been MIA because my sister was here visiting (our first visitor yay!) and I now have a nasty cold.

But during all of that, I also started my first week of Revolt Now Fitness!

We haven't started the diet yet, but I did the week of workouts and they kicked my ass.

She has separate days for fat burning, upper body, and lower body and the fat burning days are BRUTAL.

Pistol squats and t-thrusters are now my mortal enemies!

I will say I feel pretty great though.

Being able to finish one of these ass kicking workouts has been awesome and makes you feel really good about yourself.

I'll definitely post more details and be less of a lazy blogger this next week, but I just wanted to check in!

If you want to start your revolt...go here!

Getting Good At Stuff - Being Happy

I have a tendency to be kind of a pessimist.

I have been known to non-ironically say "Everything is the worst."

Which my husband finds hilarious because he doesn't think anything is the worst.

But it can be hard for me to be happy.

I struggle with depression and jealousy and darkness.

So now that I'm focusing on getting good at things, one of those things will be being happy.

Happy with what I have, happy with who I am, just happy.

One of the ways I'm working on getting good at that is signing up for this site Happify.

It's a site that uses daily activities to get you to focus on the important things in your life and to be happy with what you have.

To find happiness in your everyday.

It's cheesy.

And I'm loving it.

(And no, this isn't a sponsored post, I just really love this dang site)

One of the first assignments we did was to walk around your home and savor what you have.  To look at physical items you own and see the value in them based on who gave them to you or the memories they evoke rather than price or quality.

I chose three items in our home and wrote down why I love them for those reasons and it helped me to focus on being happy with what I already have.

I chose the prints framed above our dining room table that my dad bought for us in Paris and the poster my mom bought during our wedding weekend in Lodi.

These things aren't the most expensive or desirable pieces in our home, but they make me so happy because they were given to me by people who love and support me.

It's a really nice way to look at your things and be happy with what you already have.

If any of you want to join and haven't gotten an invite, go here!

Good Eats

I start a diet next week.

That is mostly eggs.

So....I'm not excited.

Let's talk about tasty non-diet recipes we've tried and lovely lately!

One Pan Roast Herby Fish via The Majestic Wine Blog

We tweeked this a little bit with larger tomatoes and no anchovies.  I also think you should halve the amount of parsley in the gremolata.

Overall though, super tasty and filling, loved it.

Red Lentil Curry via Real Simple

We couldn't find red lentils anywhere so we used plain and our scallions went bad so we thinly sliced some regular onions in there (it's always something with us).

This recipe was easy and filling and good.  Definitely making again.

Now I'm off to boil some eggs...
