There goes the bride.

I had yet another awesome weekend in Maine.

I took a long weekend to do some quality fam hang time.

On Friday I took Lily to see The Lion King in 3D.

We had some fun after the movie.

She tested some beds at Kohls.

We got home and played with the replacement dog.

Bruno!

My fun wasn't over.

I decided I could afford to have drinks with a friend the night before the wedding.

We had the best beer sampler everrrr at the Liberal Cup.

But it was early to bed and early to rise. I had a wedding to get to!

Kayla was a beautiful bride and it was a beautiful day.

We busted some moves and danced the night away.

I spent Sunday at home with my fam. Getting some sleep and trying to eat some food.

Today was a Monday. You know how Monday's go.

I worked the day away and then made a delicious dinner.

Spaghetti Squash Lasagna. Here is what's up:

1 spaghetti squash

1/2c ricotta cheese (I used part skim)

mozzarella cheese (I used part skim)

Parmesan cheese (just a dusting)

1 c pasta sauce

mushrooms (optional)

Cut squash in half and bake at 425 until you can pierce the skin. About 20 minutes. Remove from oven but leave oven on.

Saute mushrooms with some garlic and olive oil.

Sauce the bottom of your pan.

Layer in squash, sauce, ricotta, mushrooms and mozzarella. I did two full layers.

Finish with some parm on top and bake.

So delicious!

Overall- a pretty decent weekend. A few bumps along the way. One even gave me a flat tire.

See-ya later bank account. My car is getting repaired as we speak. Turns out I need new brakes as well.

Good thing I have a birthday coming up to receive these goodies as a gift.

I have to wake up for an early morning run tomorrow. I signed myself up for a 16 miler. Ok- it's not until May so I have plenty of time to prepare but I've also been considering some other races in the mean time. Wish me luck!

2 lunch kind of day.

I've had some serious migraines for 2 days.

At first I thought it was a lack of food.

I had 2 lunches yesterday. This was the second part. I always think that when I'm sick coffee and food help. It's never true.

My dinner last consisted of eggs mixed with left over chicken sausage and toast. Real exciting stuff. You can see my migraine we still killing me.

Today I woke up feeling better. I did a run and a huge breakfast.

I had a dentist appointment and had to apologize for eating. Sorry but I can't wait til after 9am to eat!

I started feeling like death around noon again. I needed 2 lunches.

A salad and more risotto. I'm over risotto for awhile.



I decided that I was wasting my time being at work since my head couldn't concentrate. I took a half a day. It was ok because I had to drive to Maine anyways and it was better to drive with a migraine in no traffic than with a migraine with traffic. If I had gone with choice #2- I'd be in jail right now. Hopefully Lil Wayne somehow ended up in the same place as me. I'd get to check that off my bucket list.

number 34- spend a day with Lil Wayne.

Since I got to Maine early- I picked Lily up from daycare. She was doing some real crazy things there. I enjoy picking her up because she does funny things and then has great convo in the car. We sang the entire way home about who would let the dogs out. Literally... we sang sentences to each other.

We had dinner with my mom. I had another bucket of salad, 6 french fries, 3 bites of grilled cheese and finished with 7 bites of chocolate and peanut butter cake. Woah!

We are having a tea party now at my parents house.
