Today was my sleep-in day (woo to the hoo), and when I got out of bed, this lovely breakfast was waiting for me. It looked like something off a breakfast buffet at a fine hotel. Not too shabby, Husband.
Once we were full and caffeinated, we went on a long walk. I’m having some meh pregnancy symptoms this weekend – I had to bail on a friends’ dinner last night because I felt so uncomfortable, and I felt sporadically strange all day today, too. My theory is that this baby is sitting pretty high up, squashing my lungs. Although you wouldn’t think it, actually going on a walk makes me feel a lot better than just sitting on the couch. So we managed to pound out 2.2 sweaty, slow, challenging miles – I think my running days are officially over. But that’s okay with me – can’t believe I made it to 28 weeks.
And then we headed Uptown for lunch!
We wandered around until we found a new restaurant for lunch – we opted for Mexican, just like last weekend. Apparently, we eat Mexican on Saturdays.
It was alright – it was actually one of those restaurant meals where you think, “I could make this at home for 1/3 the price,†which is always kind of disappointing. It was a mushroom, spinach, and goat cheese enchilada plate with not nearly enough sauce. But still – Mexican is always pretty good, even when it’s lackluster. Especially when you get to eat it outside, amidst beautiful skyscrapers and a sunny, bright blue sky. Bring on the salsa!
Thought of the Day:
“Summer afternoon—summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.†– Henry James
Where was Henry?
It’s funny to me that you titled this “Summer Afternoon.” While it is still summer, I’m a teacher, so I always define summer as May 10–August 17 (AKA, whatever my exact summer break is). I wrote a blog post today and talked about it being fall!
