Today: The weekend according to Instagram XV.

After a week off, enjoying the quiet of Maine, celebrating America’s birthday, and wearing non-work clothing (mostly bathing suits), it’s back to liiiiife, back to reality.  Let’s relive the glory that is the weekend.

The weekend according to Instagram XV

1. After several days of rain (which I spent wrapped up in a quilt on the porch swing) I was so happy to be able to get my float on in that icy Maine water before heading back to Boston.  Pure bliss.
2. While I was pretending to be a mermaid, Clark wound down his final minutes of vacation like the fancy dog he is: legs crossed, sunning on the deck.  The second we got home, he went straight into the tub.  That little guy really made the most of his time in the woods, pawing through mud, eating various insects, and splashing in streams.  In other words: he smelled like a dead squirrel.
3. The mysteries of life: Why does it take me six days to unpack from a five day trip?  That American flag scarf, by the way, is from Hazel & Olive.  I ordered it just before Memorial Day, when all proceeds benefited the Wounded Warrior Project. #winwin
4. I like Clark’s July face.  I should probably start compiling photos for The Clark Chronicles 2014…  Can’t get enough of the little muffin?  He’s on Facebook aaaand now Instagram.
5. A little weekend reading courtesy of WodTalk magazine – lots of great information for fellow CrossFitters.
6. Nick mentioned something about an NFL fantasy draft, and I immediately felt the urge to bake.  When football is on (which it isn’t, and won’t be for a while thank goodness), I can likely be found making a mess in the kitchen.  I answered the urge with a batch of gluten free blueberry and cinnamon muffins.  I loosely followed a basic blueberry muffin recipe, substituting almond meal for flour and coconut milk for regular ol’ milk and overdoing it a bit on the cinnamon.  Also, I think I ate an entire pint of blueberries while waiting for the over to pre-heat.
7. Speaking of berries, all I want to eat during the summer is fruit.  The hot pink-er, the better.  I love raspberries.
8. New hulu+ obsession: A Day in the Life, a series of half hour documentaries from Morgan Spurlock (of Supersize Me fame).  We watched episodes following ?uestlove (his new book is next on my summer reading list) and Braddock, PA mayor John Fetterman.  Both were fascinating.  I highly recommend checking out the series.  I find that since we ditched cable, not only do we watch less television (via our cute little Roku, which streams hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.), but we watch better, more interesting television.
9. Started the weekend floating; ended the weekend floating.  Nick and I enjoyed a little pool time with my parents, and my newlywed sister and brother-in-law (happy almost two month anniversary) on Sunday.  Noodles rule.  Poodles drool.
