Five Simple Pleasures

Posted on by

The five simple pleasures rocking my Monday:

1. How great Saturday was. I spent Friday night at my parents house, so I woke up and got to see them before they headed off to a million meetings and events like they usually do. Then I had coffee with friends. Then I had dinner with friends. Then I went to Pitch Perfect, and then saw even more of my favorite people. Fantastic day.

2. I have today off (let’s be real, this post was scheduled … I’m definitely not out of bed yet). I worked close to a 15 hour day yesterday, so I get the second part of my weekend today! I’ll be watching every terrible daytime talk show you can think of. I may even turn on The View just so I can yell at Elisabeth Hasselbeck. But probably not ;)

3. I finally got back to the gym on Saturday! I took 8 days off, due to my nasty ass cold. It feels goooooood to be active again!

4. My favorite Canadian football team (diehard fan … my family has season tickets) clinched a playoff spot. Wham bam thank you ma’am.

5. Wholly Salsa. I tried the roasted tomato flavor this weekend. There’s so much garlic in it (win!) … and no ingredients that are a million letters long and full of z’s and q’s. Real ingredients! I put it on some scrambled eggs for breakfast. SOLD.

Happy

Things that are making me happy today:

  • Today is my last day of work this week. I used some of my many built up overtime hours and decided to spend the day relaxing tomorrow. And by that, I mean doing seven thousand loads of laundry. But at least I won’t be at work ;)
  • A full fridge. I went grocery shopping on Monday (and got a bit of extra exercise by hauling it all up the stairs to my apartment). Nothing is more satisfying then opening the refrigerator and not knowing what to eat because there are too many options!
  • Being able to watch TV on my computer. Love it. How would I catch up on my trashy television quality shows like Teen Mom and Real World without the internet?
  • Juicy peaches. I can’t stop eating them. I give myself bonus points if I happen to get it all over my shirt (spoiler: this happens every single time).
  • The serious DOMS in my legs. Hurts. So. Good.
