Monday Evening

Mondays are those days that everyone hates, well, for the most part. They mean back to work, back to waking up early and back to the weekly grind. Blech!

For the majority of my adult life, I've liked to use Mondays as my day to jumpstart a healthy and positive way of living... getting a good workout in, eating lots of vegetables and fruits, only eating 5 hershey kisses and not worrying about "that boy" who obviously isn't into you, but you still think he'll come around.... 

While I didn't get in that good workout yesterday, I did managed to sneak in lots of healthy eating....and kitchen experimenting...

I made KALE CHIPS!

 And healthy "fried chicken":

 And some cinnamon deliciousness in the form of sweet potato:

 All together now!

My roommate gave me a weird look when I told her I made kale chips... I hate to admit that I've become "that girl" who eats the weird health food..... but err, yeah... oh well! :) 

Oh, and I'm happy to report that I only had 3 hershey kisses.... or 4... and I didn't think much of  that one boy who obviously doesn't see how amazing of a girl he's missing out on :)

Let's hope Tuesday is just as great,

A Surprise.

I have a really fun post coming your guys' way, but until then.... here's a little something to hold you over:

Long story short... today was as typical as Mondays come...nothing bad happened but nothing good happened either. 

But when I got home from work I got a nice little surprise from my best friend:

Anna and the French Kiss!

My best friend from up in Minnesota has been talking about this book for awhile and she sent it to me! It also came with the perfect card. 

Isn't is crazy how things work out like this? I was having a semi-bad day and she came through to cheer me up in the best way possible... I just hope I can return the favor one day :)

I love you Jamie Woods,
