Today: The weekend, according to Instagram III.
Another weekend, another two days spent (mostly) unplugged. Did you do your Sunday things done on Saturday, allowing plenty of time to see Beyonce and a stadium without power? I hope so.
The weekend, according to Instagram III
- I found this lovely Jessica Swift print on Etsy last week and was thrilled when it arrived. We spent some time framing our wedding photos, and this little number fit in perfectly. It conveys exactly what I want my husband and anyone else who enters our condo to feel. Well… maybe everyone except that electrician who called our concierge the b word. The only sentiment I conveyed to him was Yah fired!
- Despite wanting to sleep in and eat bon bons (whatever those are, though I imagine they are not gluten-free) all morning, I joined Nick for an early workout at CrossFit Southie. I tell you this all the time, but I love wearing my heart rate monitor. It feels sort of like a video game. Today was not a high score. Whatever.
- I thought that bumper plate was cute. I love our neighborhood.
- Nick recently subscribed to Paleo Plan, which made mapping out this week’s dinners tremendously easy. I looked through his menu for the week and came up with vegetarian-friendly meals that use many of the same ingredients. I felt super organized and efficient. Until we got to the market and I realized the plan’s list isn’t in alphabetical order (that’s how my brain works, most of the time). And that I don’t know the difference between one mushroom and the next. It took over two hours to find everything on the list, and my pinky toe got run over by a shopping cart. Welp. Can’t win ’em all.
- One of my goals for the year was to complete a full month of fatmumslim’s photo a day challenge. I missed the second half of January… and February 1st. Whoops. There’s always March. February 3rd’s challenge was “something that starts with ‘e'”, so I snapped a shot of my Twitter (and Instagram, and now Vine… even though I mostly have no idea what I am doing on there) name necklace. Nick gave this to me for Christmas; you can make your own at Survival of the Hippest.
- For someone who claims to be like, so busy, I certainly make plenty of time for unnecessary projects. Like this one. I organized my nail polish by most loved and used colors, and then displayed them in a covered pastry stand in our bathroom. Three cheers for multipurpose wedding registry items. And random pops of
girlinesscolor. - I hit up CrossFit Southie again Sunday morning for Annie (a bench mark workout). I got a (huge) PR on the push jerk, mostly because up until recently I’ve been afraid to lift heavy things over my precious brain. Not anymore, people. Bring on the heavy things.
- Super Bowls… of food. We watched the game with my sister and soon-to-be brother-in-law (that’s a lot of hyphens), but I chatted more than I actually paid attention. And when the lights went out in the Superdome, I took that as a cue to go to bed early.
- Homemade salad dressing > store bought dressing. Fact, not opinion.
- It wouldn’t be my weekend (or life) without a picture of this snuggly little muffin. That’s Clark’s casual Sunday morning pose. He is in full on hibernation mode lately. I don’t blame him.
- Here’s a bit more HRM love, this time from Sunday’s WOD.
- I cooked up a week’s worth of lentils, ready to be mixed with various vegetables, spices, and herbs and packed up for lunches at the office. They’re not much to look at, but they’re might tasty. And filling. And they play well with others.

I got so darn excited when I saw a tweet come through from you with this post title in it that I literally made an audible noise that can only be properly described as a “tiny squeal.”
Apparently, writing you responses to your TWATI posts [yep. I did it.] is now one of my favorite hobbies. Onward- let’s get to it:
1. I love text-based prints and art. [probably because I am rambly and have a strong affection for words.] I have just come from the Jessica Swift etsy shop and have to share the following: a) that Goal + Intention kit? um. NEED IT. b) so many inspirational/motivational prints that would be perfect for my new workspace at THS HQ. c) how many pocket mirrors would be too many? Because I love so many of the prints!!! Maybe I should just start a pocket mirror collection to pass down to future generations [of someone else’s children, of course; because – well, all I have to say about that is “NO!”] I see an etsy spree in my future, apparently.
2. Level up. also – now I feel the need to start to use the HRM I have owned for 2 years [but not yet used]
1.2 – love those twitter necklaces. Everyone on the #HLS12 planning committee ALMOST got one last year.
3.2 – I came up with this awesome concept this weekend: “Productive Procrastination” – I managed to get all sorts of things done this weekend that we’re on my to-do list, where all the things that I should have been doing were nicely listed for me. I procrastinated with productivity. I would be more upset if I didn’t come out of the situation with 5 hand-mended items of clothing that have been in a pile waiting for my attention for over two years.
4.3 – please tell me all of the best things you make with lentils. I got a bit burnt out with the two recipes I have used them for last year and have been scared to jump in with any sort of lentil-including-dish ever since. I should really just brave up and get over that, eh?
Hooray #hlbbookclub – it shall be awesomeness, for certain.

I was attacked by my neighbors Frenchie this morning and though of you. Of course by attacked I mean when I bent down to pet him he jumped into my arms and gave me kisses. I think he wanted to come to work with me today. Or maybe he heard I have a huge dog bed and a bunch of doggie toys but no dog yet.
