That, my friends, is my scared face. Day one of Crossfit, but, I survived my workout at EverProven. I had faith that Andy wasn’t going to kill me, and surprise, I made it! I also think I need to work on pushing myself, because I wasn’t sweating by the end of the workout and wasn’t sore… well, I wasn’t sore until an hour later when I couldn’t peel myself out from the couch.
Let’s be honest, I have a hard time sitting down and reading a book. When I was little, my grandmother would bring me to the library, I’d fill up my canvas bag with as many as I could, and we’d go home. I’d spend the morning curled up in the big blue recliner by the corner window and read them cover to cover.
When I was in high school, I volunteered at that same library, working after school (and even “interning” there my senior year). In college, my work study was in the library, working everything from the reference desk to front desk, and even cataloguing books. I basically lived there and read a ton.
Now, I’m a lost puppy when it comes to books. I get so wrapped up in everything that I don’t sit down in a quiet spot and just decompress and read. I need to do it. I need to relax. So my one resolution that I hope I keep this year is to read as many books as I can. And these, my friends, are the top 10 books I have on my hit list.
Please give me more suggestions in the comments! Thanks!
by Gillian FlynnI saw the movie and I have to say, my jaw was dropped most of the way through it. I can’t imagine how much detail was left out (you know, that whole book-to-movie transition), so I’m on a mission to read this before the year is out.
I had a craving for quiche. I could make these all week and just eat different types of quiche. Unfortunately Andy doesn’t like quiche like I do, so this one was just for me. Especially since it’s Whole 30 approved.
So we’re back on The Whole 30 bandwagon, which means that we’re no longer eating any sugar, legumes, grains, alcohol, or dairy. It’s a bachelor’s dream: meat and potatoes, all day, every day.
Which is how Andy and I came to decide on steak tips. Me not wanting another pepper-crusted beef, I went for something new: a citrus and garlic steak tip marinade. Surprisingly, he really liked it. I think I’m going to have to start making some more marinades. I’m taking any suggestions, just as long as they are Whole 30 approved. Thanks!
