Challenge Accepted

Last night, while I was making the boyfriend pancakes for dinner, I opened the fridge to discover that I had an unopened carton of milk that expired that day. Not wanting to waste the whole carton, the boyfriend and I set out to finish the carton. I used 3/4 of a cup for the pancakes, I made a glass of chocolate milk for myself and a roommate, and the boyfriend had 2 glasses to top it off. The challenge wasn't as hard as I thought, but challenge completed. Then we watched Sweet Genius on Food Network. Just another exciting night in the life of meeshell.

Catching Up

It's been awhile since I last posted - things have just gotten so busy. I kinda miss the days when I had a lot more free time, but things are still going well. Last weekend was the Cherry Blossom Soccer tournament which I volunteered and the boyfriend played him. It was a 2 day tournament and you had to win the 1st day to come back the 2nd day, which the boyfriend's team did. They made it pretty far but not all the way. They did loose to the would-be champs though. The boyfriend and I also hit up the kite festival, which was such a good time. We got to fly the Red Baron kite I got him for his birthday, and it was (I think) the first time I'd ever flown a kite! My little sister and her boyfriend were also in town for a wedding so I got to hang out with them which was nice. I took them on a tour of the mall and we saw the new MLK memorial there.

A few weekends before that, my Mom was in town to run the National Half Marathon (which the boyfriend and a roommate ran as well). My sister, her fiancee and I spectated and I took a lot of pictures (coming soon). Since my Mom was in town, my sister and I, and her soon-to-be Mother in Law all went wedding dress shopping which was so much fun! My sister looked good in every single dress she put on, which made it hard because even if you didn't like the dress, she still looked good. She decided on one which is very elegant and romantic looking and I'm so excited!

Besides that, I've been keeping busy with soccer, which is now also on the weekdays since it is getting dark later, work, and going to the gym. I have used 3 of my free personal training sessions and I have 1 more left (a comped one for some scheduling issues with my trainer (long story)). I like the training sessions a lot, I'm always way more sore afterwards than when I go by myself, and I always learn some new workout which keeps things fun.

The boyfriend and I have also been experimenting with making pizzas from the Boboli thin crusts. So far our favorite is pepperoni, red and green peppers, and basil. The secret is to use more than just one kind of cheese - like mozzarella, Parmesan, and a little bit of the 4 cheese Mexican blend. Yum! Healthy and delicious.
