Good morning to you! I hope you were able to enjoy a fun weekend with some relaxation thrown in as well.
Our weekend was filled with lots of time outside!
Sadie was in frisbee heaven!
We also found a used washing machine to replace our old washer that kicked the bucket back in December. I never blogged about it, but our washing machine completely overflowed one day into our kitchen and living room. We thought we fixed it when, a couple weeks later, it caught on fire when Ryan was home doing a load of laundry. Two strikes and you’re out!
On Saturday we found a replacement on craigslist and so far it seems to be working quite well. We had a month’s worth of laundry built up to tackle yesterday, so I posted up in front of the TV to sort through my clothes while watching the Golden Globes.
I don’t usually care about award shows at all, but I think Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are hilarious, so I was curious to see how they would do as hosts of the show.

I thought they killed it with their opening monologue! I only tuned in for about an hour before calling it quits, but Tina and Amy cracked me up! I also loved Adele’s acceptance speech.
As for the beautiful dresses? I thought there were quite a lot of gorgeous gowns last night, but my two favorites of the evening included Jessica Alba’s coral dress and Kerry Washington’s champagne dress.
The coral color of Jessica’s dress looked fantastic on her and I thought Kerry’s dress was different and absolutely stunning.
Workout
This morning I was up nice and early for a workout. It’s week two of Best Body Boot Camp! The workouts are the same as last week’s workouts, though the tempo of the exercises changed slightly.
Today’s circuit wasn’t crazy hard, but it still had me sweating!
Breakfast
When I walked through the door after my workout, I grabbed a banana and ate it as I prepped breakfast.
Scrambled eggs + Chicken sausage + Spinach
Yum!
Questions of the Morning
- Do you enjoy award shows?
- Did you watch the Golden Globes last night? Did you think Tina and Amy did a good job as hosts? Did any dresses stand out to you?
I never really care too much about award shows, but I was excited to see Tina and Amy last night and thought they were hilarious!

I love awards show too, to see everyone’s outfits 🙂 I made a similar lunch the other day and it was divine!
I’m not usually one to watch awards shows either – it’s some combination of forgetting their on and easily losing interest since it’s like a 6 hour event (maybe only 3 but STILL!). I did watch some of the pre-show and a bit of the show. I have to say that I love Anne Hathaway, she’s so humble and just seems like a beautiful person on the inside and out.
I did watch the awards but completely missed the opening monologue. I thought the showed moved right along and was happy that they didn’t interject themselves too much. I hate it when the shows drag on.
I am NOT a fan, but thought JLo’s dress stood out.
The Kidless Kronicles
I “half watched” as in I had it on in the background and periodically checked to see what was going on. Those dresses are gorgeoussssssssssssssss!
I usually don’t tune into award shows. Until they have awards for the average person, we don’t need so many for celebrities! 🙂 But I do love looking at what everyone wore the night before. I agree, Jessica Alba looked amazing and I also fell in love with Amy Adam’s dress.
The washing machine on fire is kinda scary. I’m glad you were able to find a replacement!!!
i know! i’m so glad ryan was home to see it happen. now we know only to do the laundry when we’re actually going to BE at home. we used to run the washing machine or dryer and leave, but not anymore! yikes.
i LOVED jennifer lopez’s dress! so glam!
I loved them!! Award shows are usually awkward, and the hosts just seem to be awkward and stiff. But Amy and Tina were hilarious! I loved Jessica Alba’s dress, Jennifer Garner, Anne Hathaway, Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence had a very pretty but unique dress…and she gave a hilarious and sweet acceptance speech!
i love jennifer lawrence. she’s seems so down to earth.
Loved Jessica Alba’s dress- she looked stunning!
I thought they were hilarious! Tina makes me crack up like crazy. Everytime I think of her, all I picture is Mean Girls!
I loved Jessica Alba’s dress! It was absolutely stunning on her! I also liked Jennifer Lawrence and Hayden Painterre’s dresses. I’m a big fan of mermaid style gowns 🙂
I missed the Golden Globes last night but I love Jessica Alba’s dress. Also I’m sure Amy and Tina were very entertaining. They are so funny!
Tina and Amy were good hosts. I was disappointed to see Kristen Wiig and Will Farrell do that tired bit from SNL…it’s not funny there and it wasn’t funny then. You could sure tell Tommy Lee Jones wasn’t amused. He looked like he was going to smack them!
I thought Jennifer Lawrence’s dress was really pretty but worst dressed goes to Lucy Liu…wow, what 80’s drape store did she raid for that one? Yike!
I love award shows, but I mainly watch them to see who is wearing what! Hahaha!
I loved Hayden Panettiere’s dress!! http://static.globalgrind.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/gallery_image/images/2013_january/1_1.jpg
I watched a bit of it. I loved Lea Michele’s dress and Julia Roberts I thought looked very classy and not over the top.
I thought Amy and Tina were hilarious! I loved them! I only watched for about 2 hours but was very happy Jennifer Lawrence and Lenah Dunham took home awards! I loved Jessica Alba’s dress and I was a hug fan of Krisitn Wiggs dress, she rocked it!
They only air in Ireland tonight – I do like Kelly’s dress though!
I wish I could’ve spent my weekend outdoors like you! Here in Chicago, it’s all of like less than 20 degrees yesterday. Today when I left the house for work, it was only 11!! Eeek! 🙁
I love Tina and Amy, too! That’s the only reason I tuned it.
J.Alba looked amazing!
There was soooooo many absolutely stunning gowns and looks last night. Usually just a few standouts, but it was amazing yesterday!
I don’t make it a point to watch award shows but I do love to see the fashion. Jessica Alba is just too stunning for words. Oh what I would give to look like her!
I LOVED Tina and Amy!!! They made the show. Did you happen to see Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell introduce the nominees for best female actress in a comedy/musical? Hands down the funniest nominee introductions I’ve ever seen.
I’m not a big fan of award shows, but I’m a huge fan of chicken sausage. Totally jealous of your breakfast!
I didn’t watch the award shows because I was busy watching Revenge, which is the most addicting show ever. Jessica Alba is my all time biggest girl crush and I’m pretty sure anything she wears looks amazing. I need to find an occasion that I can wear a ball gown, I have yet to do that in my life!
I usually only watch the Oscars, but I look through pics for the award shows. I did watch the opening monologue, which kept me giggling for a long time.
I don’t really tune into awards shows anymore. I, like most ladies, want to see the fashion. i want to see if i can do the same thing, but WAY cheaper!!! I would rather watch a basketball or football game, personally. 🙂 or the CF Games!!! 🙂
I just love your blog, by the way!!! You are very inspiring!!!
So glad you had your washing machine up and running Julie, your old one sounds like a nightmare. Catching on FIRE?! Eeek! Those dresses are so pretty, I love seeing all the amazing outfits and of course hilarious/heartwarming/inspirational speeches at awards ceremonies!
I’m back home right now staying at my parents house, and my mom LOVES these awards shows, so I watched with her. I thought Amy and Tina were fantastic, and I also loved when Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig came out to present… they’re all so hilarious! Also loved seeing Adele and Jennifer Lawrence (Silver Linings Playbook = amazing).
I’m jealous of your outdoor time this weekend! The temps were in the teens and it was snowing all weekend here. Brrrr! I’m definitely feeling some spring fever come on. I didn’t watch the Golden Globes – award shows are kinda hit or miss for me. I do love seeing all the beautiful gowns and dresses though! I agree, Jessica Alba’s dress IS pretty. She’s gorgeous.
I don’t really like watching award shows either, sometimes I’ll tune in depending on who is hosting. I really like reading People magazine the next week and looking at all the dresses though!
I don’t typically watch award show but I wish I had watched last night!
I don’t normally watch awards shows, but after the Pats game ended last night some people I was watching the game with wanted to turn it on. I also caught their opening monologue and loved it! They’re hilarious, two of my favorite female actors/comedians for sure!
I love watching award shows – mostly just for what the ladies wear! I’m so sad to say that I do not have cable so I missed all the action last night. I’m hoping to watch some highlights online tonight! Those two dresses are stunning!
I’m not that into awards shows, but I always watch the Oscars. I wish I would have tuned in for a bit last night though, because everything I’m hearing this morning is that Tina and Amy were wonderful!
We don’t have cable so I never get to watch anything like that, but I don’t know that I would anyways. Although, I would have watched Tina Fey! I think she’s fabulous and her book was wonderful-if you haven’t read it you should!
IT CAUGHT ON FIRE?!?!?!!? Omg Julie, I’m dying. I know I shouldn’t find that funny, but that’s just so absurd, I can’t help but to crack up!
I usually watch them all, but to get my bf and our friends involved we vote on them! Only the big ones like the Oscars and Emmys and Grammys. We make a spreadsheet with the main awards and vote who we think will win. At the end we tally up our votes and the winner usually gets bragging rights and a free dinner. We order pizza or get take out and throughout the night there are many oohs and aahs!
I also looooved Will Ferrell and Kristen Wigg’s little monologue. SO funny.
P.s. why didn’t you go to a laundromat while your washer was out of commission?
just lazy! we kept thinking we’d find a used one we wanted, so i kept waiting and my laundry pile greeeew.
I didn’t see them but all the pictures look stunning! How fun it must be to go to something like that!
I love Amy P. I think she is just adorable.
So glad you were able to get a new washer.
I NEVER watch award shows. My fiance’ was especially surprised when I skipped 60 Minutes to watch this one. I just couldn’t miss out on Tina and Amy. I thought they were great! Their jokes were pointed, but not inappropriate like some of the previous hosts. My favorite dresses were a toss up between Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson. They both looked so classy and gorgeous. I looked for chicken sausage in the store this past weekend and couldn’t find any! Where do you get yours?
publix!
I honestly get pretty bored with award shows but I love watching the red carpet to see all of the beautiful dresses!
I like watching award shows but I don’t often since I haven’t had a TV in years (I use Hulu and Netflix). If I hadn’t been here in Denver visiting my friend I would have tried to watch that since I think Tina and Amy are HILARIOUS! Glad you enjoyed it!
I typically love awards shows, mostly for the performances and the hosts…but I missed the awards last night!! I have only heard great things, and seriously everyone looked amazing!
I never intend to watch award shows but if I’m flipping through the channels and I spot one I always end up watching it. As for gorgeous dresses, I thought Heidi Klum looked AMAZING although she could wear anything and still look gorgeous.
I LOVE awards shows, and I thought Tina and Amy were AMAZING. I actually may have fangirled them a bit on my blog this morning 🙂 And I loved Amy’s suit on the red carpet! I think a sleek lady suit can look absolutely killer. Oh, and how gorgeous was Tina Fey’s hair???
And I was so happy Jennifer Lawrence won Best Actress in a Comedy. She was fabulous in Silver Linings Playbook!!
Oh my gosh, Jessica’s dress is to die for! She is always stunning and classy. Tina is hilarious 🙂
I do like watching awards shows–but the Preshow specifically. All I care about is the fashion! 🙂
I missed the beginning of the show so missed the monologue but I thought Tina and Amy were great. My favorite dresses were Jessica Alba’s and I loved Halle Barry’s dress. This year there were so many beautiful dresses , more than any other year I think. Saw Silver Linings last week and understand all the award nominations. Have a great week.
I can never get into the award shows, mostly because I am not big into watching much TV but I always love seeing what they are wearing!
