Saturday Schmaturday

Honestly, it was one of the best shows I have ever been to. I might even go as far as to say the greatest. I had a blast with Meeker and his family, and it was 100% worth the drowsiness I experienced on Friday as a result of going out on a school night. If you haven’t heard of ZBB, I suggest that you check them out – they are one talented group of boys. It’s not so much country as southern rock…and they totally rock. In fact, they just got nominated for 3 Grammy awards.
Okay, enough gushing.
3rd grade went on a make-up field trip on Friday. We went to a nature/science museum in Denver – and it was wild and fun.
I woke up exhausted after rocking out on Thursday night – but jazzed for the trip with my kiddos. I was running late, but managed to make a pretty good breakfast and pack a yummy sandwich for lunch.
That’s half a sweet ‘tater (I microwaved it for 6 minutes) and then put spicy mustard on one side, an egg on the other – and sandwiched them together. This was the best combo (albeit very messy) and I will definitely be making it again.
Packed lunch
Scooped bagel with bananas, peanut butter and pumpkin butter.
I threw this in my purse, and accidentally sat on it during the bus ride to the museum – so it was pretty nasty looking when I pulled it out at lunch time – but very delicious.
When I got home about a zillion hours later (at least that’s what it felt like) – I found a pot of soup on the stove. I love being married.
Meeker had thrown leftover rice, black beans and tomatoes into a pot – and added a lot of spice – to create a warming, simple supper. I topped mine with avocado for a cooling effect.
I fell asleep on the couch at 9:30 on a Friday night.
I woke up this morning ecstatic about a Skype date I had with my best friend at 10am , but managed to squeeze in DAY 30 of the 30 Day Shred beforehand! It feels good to have finished. I feel stronger and my balance is better – but I’m looking forward to incorporating a little variety into my routine.
As for the skype date – this was my first time using this technology, and I felt really geeky sitting at Kunjani chatting and laughing with my computer screen, but it was fantastic to be able to talk face-to-face with my bestie.
One large black coffee.
After over an hour of skyping, I was starving, and I came home to eat more soup and ½ a bagel.
Topped with chip crumbles and avocado.
Scooped and toasted with pumpkin butter and sun butter. A dynamic duo.
Now I’m ready to just relax and enjoy this Saturday – hasta luego.
Katie!! You scoop out your bagel!?! That’s the best part!! Haha. I suppose it saves a good amount of calories, but I just love, love, love the middle I could never do it.
Those bagels do look yummy though!
I’m glad you had such a blast at the concert! Enjoy your weekend and get lots of rest after your productive Thursday!!
Haha – I don’t do it for the calorie save, although I guess that’s a bonus! I just like my bagels really crispy!! Like toast – but with all that bread in the center the outside gets burned…the scoop ensures even crispiness.
Aw girl i’m so glad you had fun at the concert! Staying up late on the school night is so worth it when you get to feast your eyes on those boys and listen to them sing to you!!!
Ps. Isn’t skype the best!? My best friend and her boyfriend use it from time to time, because he lives in North Carolina, so its cool that they can talk face to face, rather then phone to phone! hope you and your bff can have more skype dates!!!! enjoy your evening love!

I was gonna ask about the scoop too! Actually to be fair, my favorite way to eat a bagel is to toast the crap out of it and then eat it with my fingers in little chunks!
Hope you are having a good Saturday!
I LOVE skyping! I try to skype every Sunday with my best friend because I am in Germany and she is in the US so it’s hard to just call each other and chat. Technology is so cool!
Katie
Congrats on doing 30 days of the 30 day shred! That is quite an accomplishment! Good to hear that the concert was awesome and I am loving your scooping action with the bagels!
Glad the concert was fun! They sound like they’d put on a good show.
You know what else is good on a sweet potato? Peanut butter. Really.
MMmm, I’ll have to try it!
dynamic duo FO SHO.
glad you are having a good weekend AND had fun at the concert. i need myself a husband to fix me meals, although i am thinking a boyfriend would probably make a better start. or maybe even a date. yes, i will settle for a date.
LOVE YOU
I’m sorry about your lunch. I was running so late I didn’t have time to pack one. Thankfully they had that cafe there. The food was very very yummy. I was surprised! Thanks for letting me tag along! ;D
(1) I love Zac Brown Band! They are AWESOME!
(2) Skype is amazing! It was seriously changed my life because a lot of my friends are scattered throughout the country and I feel so much closer to them now that I can see them when I chat with them!
omigahh- that sweet potato sandwich looks amazing! I’m telling you what, our love of sweet potatoes, avocado and eggs are somewhat identical.
1. When you first said make-up field trip – I immediately thought of a field trip to Sephora. Haha.
2. I love the idea of a sweet potato for breakfast!
3. Hilar that you sat on your sammie. Glad it still tasted good.
Glad the concert was awesome! I love ZBB
