Murphy and I enjoyed a wonderful walk around the neighborhood this afternoon. The weather was absolutely gorgeous! š
On our walk, I encountered a number of signs of SPRING! It’s almost here! 
Beautiful budding flowers.
An active park.
Bright blue skies.
YAY!!! I’m so excited for nice weather! Let’s hope it sticks around.
Murphy and I walked for almost an hour and covered 3 miles. Keeping track of our progress with myĀ Garmin made it feel like a workout to me! š
As soon as we got home, Murph passed out on the floor and took a nap. He was so exhausted!
I didn’t even have a chance to take off his leash and harness!
Dinner
My appetite was all over the place this evening. I was hungry, but not in the mood for anything specific. I ended up making some homemade sweet potato fries, whichĀ I tossed in olive oil and ground flaxseed meal.
I loved the addition of the ground flaxseed meal– very yummy and nutritious!
On the side, I made a pesto + sour cream mixture for dipping. The sweet potato fries + dip were an amazing flavor combination.
Dessert
A little while later, I wanted something sweet to eat, so I attempted to make a butternut squash version of my Almond Joy “Ice Cream.” Well, my little kitchen experiment totally bombed. š Basically, frozen butternut squash tastes nothing like a frozen banana. The butternut squash is really bland and boring while the banana is sweet and smooth. I’ll be sticking to frozen bananas in the future!
I ended up eating my frozen creation because I added about an ounce of Scharffen Berger dark chocolate to the mix and I didn’t want to waste it. That stuff is too good to not eat!
Around 8:00, my appetite got really weird. I made myself a small bowl of Galaxy Granola and then grabbed a beer. So random, right? A smooth, dark beer just sounded so appetizing to me. I’m just going with it…
Look what arrived in the mail today!!!
My Rent the Runway dress! You guys helped me pick it!
This afternoon, I tried on the dress and it fits perfectly! Thank goodness! BUT, I’m having a serious bra issue!
Check out the back of this dress:
A strapless bra just won’t work. What are my other options? I need to buy something TOMORROW or otherwise I can’t wear this dress. And, going without some sort of support is just not an option. Any ideas??? Help!
I’m heading to bed early again tonight. G’night, blog friends!
