I’d Like to Thank the Academy

Bahaha!  Funny stuff. :-)

We’re settled in on the couch, watching the Oscars as I type this—are you watching?  Of course I had to tune in to watch my boo Jeff Bridges!  :-)

Everyone looks so beautiful!  I always like the red carpet fashion review almost as much as the awards themselves. 

This afternoon, I took yet another walk! I met up with my bff Ellie, and we took her dog Mr. Wilson and my parents’ labradoodle Sugar on a long walk around the neighborhood.  It was so good to catch up with Ellie.  Living so far away from my best girlfriends has been really tough this last year, so I love any time that I get to spend with them, now more than ever. 

After our walk, I headed back home and took a short nap with Ryan…it felt so good!  Last week, when my stomach was hurting so badly, I felt like I really missed out on my sleep for a while, so it’s been nice to get a little rest.

The rest of the day included a trip to the grocery store (where we bought FIVE boxes of Girl Scout cookies…YES!), and a whole lotta relaxing.  I also snacked on a big orange and a cup of Kashi crunch.  Yum!

Around 6:30, we sat down for a delicious dinner:

Vegetable Frittata, and Kale, Walnut, and Beet salad.

So, so good!  The frittata had a shredded potato crust, along with broccoli, red pepper, and cheese.  Yum!

Of course, dinner was followed by some delicious Girl Scout cookies.  I had a samoa, a tag-along, AND a do-si-do.  Hey, they only come around once a year, right?

Hope you’re enjoying the awards like me! See you tomorrow!

    I want to hop into the screen and eat with you guys! These treats look so good! I am definitely watching the Oscars right now, and I agree, the fashion is definitely one of the best (if not the best) parts!

    i wish they individually wrapped each GS cookie (although i guess that’s wasting a lot of plastic) bc having a row of em in the box is too tempting!
