Hi, friends! Happy Monday!

How was your weekend? Mine was super low-key, and it was awesome. Sometimes, those are the best kinds of weekends because they leave you energized instead of exhausted. I actually have a lot going on in the coming weeks, so I definitely appreciated the downtime. My fall is going to be absolutely nuts””more on that later!

FRIDAY

I spent Friday evening on our sun porch with Mal and Murphy.

We opened a bottle of wine (Mal and me… pugs don’t drink alcohol) and just hung out.

For hours.

It was a nice, relaxing evening.

SATURDAY

We all woke up bright and early on Saturday morning.

CrossFit was on the agenda and we totally got our butts kicked by “Black Hawk Down.”

Mal and I were also named “Beasts of the Month” by our CrossFit box!

Woohoo! We were pumped””still are!

After CrossFit, I picked up my computer, which is totally fine. Hooray! It’s almost like nothing ever happened!

I wonder what the computer guys thought of the skull photo on my desktop? Ha! A few months ago, Mal took a picture of the skull and put it on my computer when I was out-of-town (he is so clever), but I haven’t changed it because it just makes me happy. The computer guys probably thought I was so weird.

On my way home from the computer repair shop, I stopped by Whole Foods to grab lunch. I was starving, and I knew we had nothing exciting to eat in the house.

I ate my lunch on the porch with Mal. Meanwhile, the pug went to town on his new Nayla bone.

Once he chews his Naylas into a shiv, we take them away (for our safety) and give him a new one.

We watched the Oregon football game on Saturday afternoon. Mal is a huge fan, so we made sure to properly prepare for the game. (FYI: Mal’s sister went to U of O and a lot of his family lives in Oregon. Mal’s dad also grew up in Medford, Oregon, so we’re fans.)

Ready for the Oregon game

After the game, Mal and I had planned to have a date night and go out for dinner, but we nixed our plan and stayed in instead. We eventually ventured out to The Yogurt Bar for some froyo.

I knew this place would be trouble. It’s a 5-minute 2-minute drive from our house (we are never moving), so Mal and I go there quite a lot. It’s self-serve and the flavors frequently change. Last week, there was “Salted Caramel” and “Chocolate-Covered Pretzel” and this week there was “Candy Bar Cupcake” and “Chocolate Cinnamon Roll.” Um, yea, this place is incredible.

SUNDAY

Mal and I went to bed early on Saturday night and slept late-ish on Sunday morning, so we woke up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Mal went to Open Gym while I made breakfast (sliced banana sautéed in coconut oil with applesauce, blueberries, and almond butter), blogged, meal planned, went grocery shopping, and then cleaned the house.

At 1:00 PM, Mal and I sat down to watch the Patriots game. As you probably remember, I’m not much of a football fan, but I promised Mal I’d give it a chance this year.

I made it until halftime before I got bored, but I learned a few players’ names, positions, and numbers, so maybe things will get better next week? I’m not giving up yet!

Murphy feels the same way about football that I do.

Murphy loves football.

While watching the game, this commercial totally cracked me up:

Haha!
