Guess who didn’t shower until 6 p.m. today?
This girl!
(Picture from my first bachelorette party. )
Yes, Ryan and I fermented in our sweat from our respective morning workouts nearly all day. We’re gross, but at least we’re both gross.
Mission for Hose
After this morning’s blogger boot camp, Ryan and I took a short detour to the outlet mall before heading home because I wanted to pick up some tights since every single pair I own has a hole in them. (I blame Sadie and my wedding ring. Both seem to snag tights like it’s cool.)
Please notice that I say I needed tights. After work yesterday, Ryan and I were taking Sadie for a walk when he asked me if there was anything I wanted to do this weekend. I told him I wanted to pick up some tights because all of mine are holey.
He looked down at the pair of leggings I was wearing and said, “What about those? Those don’t have holes.”
“These are leggings,” I replied.
“What’s the difference?”
“Tights cover your feet and are thinner than leggings.”
“Okay, so what’s the difference between tights and pantyhose?”
“Well, for starters, no one under the age of 85 says the word pantyhose,” I said.
“Got it. So you want pantyhose.”
“No, I want tights.”
“Great! Let’s go get you some hose!”
I couldn’t help but laugh because all last night and this morning, Ryan cracked himself up by referring to my quest for tights as my mission for “hose.”
(For the record, I do realize that there actually is a difference between pantyhose and tights. Some of you Kappa Deltas out there may recall having to wear legit hose back in the day… Gross.)
Fortunately I did nab two pairs of tights (black and brown) at the Banana Republic outlet.
I also picked up a pink skirt and headband from the J.Crew outlet, a gold necklace from Banana and a bottle of pink grapefruit mix for the Soda Stream Ryan and I received as a wedding present. We are anxious to try it out!
A trip to the outlet mall is never complete without a stop at le gourmet chef for free samples!
I ate a million.
Lunch
One we arrived home, I was hungry for lunch.
I first ate a bowl of yogurt cereal made with a cup of banana honey Chobani Champions children’s yogurt that received from the company to try. (Adults love it, too!)
I paired the yogurt with strawberry cereal puffs and loved every bite. The banana honey flavor of the yogurt was absolutely delicious. I typically dislike anything banana-flavored, but I really enjoyed this yogurt.
About 30 minutes later, I prepared a smoothie for lunch made with:
- 1.5 frozen bananas
- 1 c. almond milk
- 1 scoop chocolate protein
- 2 tbsp. Artisana coconut butter
It was so thick that I ate it with a spoon.
Ryan and I spent the majority of the afternoon reading Mockingjay, the third book in The Hunger Games series. We have about 40 pages left and it has been such an entertaining read. Total page turner!
Dinner
After reading numerous chapters and taking Sadie on a short walk, we headed to Moe’s for dinner.
Apparently last night’s dinner at Mucho triggered our craving for Mexican food!
I ordered a chicken quesadilla prepared with salsa.
Moe’s doesn’t take it easy on the cheese which I appreciate.
Even though I was pretty full, there’s always room for frozen yogurt!
Ryan filled his cup with vanilla and red velvet fro yo while I opted for a combination of red velvet, cheesecake and dark chocolate frozen yogurt, topped with cookie dough, cheesecake pieces, Reese’s cereal and peanut M&Ms.
Delish!
When we got home, Ryan got a call from some of the members of his men’s league soccer team. The guys were meeting up for a team dinner and since Ryan apparently has eight stomachs, he headed out to meet the team for meal number two.
I told him to enjoy hanging with the guys because I had plans of my own…
Cookie baking in my pajamas!
I am officially the coolest person in the world. I’ve even managed to bore Sadie…
Even though Sadie may think I’m super lame tonight, I’m actually quite content to spend the evening on the couch watching girly television. I’ve felt a little out of whack the entire week and feel like I could use a night of pure laziness. Plus Ryan should be home soon and I’m looking forward to finishing Mockingjay tonight!
Hope your Saturday night is perfect, whether you’re partyin’ it up or being lazy like me.
See ya in the morning!
Lee @ Fit Foodie Finds says
You are the fro-yo queen!!! Minneapolis really lacks a good fro-yo scene. tear.
Courtney @ The Granola Chronicles says
Lazy bum right here! I’ve been fighting a cold for the past few days and just need to relax. Although I’m going to try and convince my husband to go out for froyo because let’s be honest – it’s always a good decision! Love that new skirt that you purchased today!
Molly says
mmmm those cookies look bomb.
and uh the things I have had to explain to boys are rediculous. How birth control pills work for example. And the rhyme “stripes and plaid look really bad” is always a good one too.
Rachel says
hahaha those pictures of Sadie made my laugh out loud!!! Love it! I’m right there with ya with being lazy and I’m loving every minute.
Jessica says
Didn’t shower almost 6:30 tonight – gottcha beat!! 😉
Also enjoyed some yummy fro-yo tonight from Delish and it was, well, DELISH!!!!
elysie says
The pantyhose conversation cracked me up! So funny!
Meg says
No better day than Saturday to embrace the stank, girlfriend 😉
And embrace Mexican food (again!), cookies, pantyhose and oh my goodness that conversation had me giggling 😀
Enjoy your evening, you and Sadie should dance away your boredom, or play a board game. Haha.
Shelby says
That quesadilla looks AMAZING! I’m jealous 😉
jenna says
there is always room for dessert, especially froyo!
Amy at TheSceneFromMe says
I am being lazy now…but I’ve spent the majority of the day making treats for my husbands poker party tonight.
All homemade: Chili, Buffalo Chicken dip, Reese’s Cookies, Sausage Cheese Toasts, Avacado dip and Pizza Poppers.
Since its a bunch of guys, I just give them food and then leave!
emily says
We had Moes today too, soo good. But I’m pretty sure I’d trade it to have froyo in my town! 🙂
Emma says
Chobani for kids!! I am a nanny, and constantly trying to wean the kids off that sugary “yogurt” that is really just soft soft serve ice cream
mm says
I love the pics of bored Sadie!! 🙂
Lauren says
So funny! My boyfriend didn’t understand the difference between “yoga pants” and “leggings” or “tights.” I tried to explain it, but he just said whatever, they all look the same to me haha.
Anna @ Acquainted With The Night says
What girly tv shows are you watching? I’m a major fan of those! 🙂
Melissa says
I feel ya on that one. Sometimes you just need to have a YOU moment! Glad you were able to enjoy your saturday the way you wanted. I am getting married in June and I saw that soda stream thing when we registered the other day, let me know how it is!!! 🙂
Laura @ prettylittlewords says
Haha I am doing the EXACT same thing tonight, Julie! Jammies and cookies, with pets by my side. Although I can’t find any good girlie TV, so I’m watching stand-up comedy!
Have a a great rest of your night 🙂
cocohw says
I was wondering, what kind of food processor you use for smoothie?
I am looking for one and your smoothie always looks best !!
Katy (The Singing Runner) says
Haha! I made cookies in my jammies tonight too. 😉 I’m such a cool college student. 😉
Kiran says
Haha! The hose story cracked me up good 😉
Caroline says
I was feeling SO LAME for staying in tonight (and baking!), so your post brought me just the validation I needed. More beauty rest for us! …right?!
Emily says
Red Velvet froyo is the BEST!
Kyla says
Don’t feel bad…after my morning workout (10am) had loads of errands to do and when I got home I was starving so had to eat first. Only showered at 5pm…whatever its the weekend.
Enjoy the rest of it:)
Have to say-love your blog
Julie says
We have the same name.
Our bf/husbands have the same name.
We’ve been dating our SOs for the same length of time and our anniversaries are within a week of each other.
We have the same college major and the same flat blond hair.
And now we officially have the same slippers.
I bet you’re about 2 feet taller than me, but other than that, we’re kind of freaky twins. If you ever make it out to San Francisco, let me know because I would absolutely die to get a picture with you. : )
Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga) says
Hose. Classic. I could be called the same, back in the day 🙂
Those froyo toppings look delish!!
Love your purchases and enjoy your nite!
RoseRunner says
my bf and I recieved a soda stream for xmas, and i CANNOT live without it now.
I use it once-twice every single day. in love.
Amy says
Ahh, I just got back from some deliiicous fro-yo, and mine happened to look very similar to yours (aka, lots of sugary toppings!) 😉
What cookies are those?!
Kristin S says
Please let me know how you like your soda stream! I’ve really wanted one for over a year now but didn’t know if they actually worked.
Annette says
whew, what a day, girlfriend! I love relaxing Saturday nights also….except tonight we went out and I love that too! Have a great night 🙂
Heather says
I just finished The Hunger Games series. I loved The Hunger Games, but Mockingjay was intense! Jeesh! I think it was my least favorite of the three, just because poor katniss is such a mess!
peanutbutterfingers says
No kidding! She’s a wreck… and I would like for more good thing to happen! It’s like despair at every corner.
Lindz @ Happy or Hungry says
Love your slippers!
Hose, that is really funny. Ahh silly boys 😉
Have a great weekend!
Charlotte says
Love that second pic of Sadie – it made me laugh out loud!
Holly says
lazy saturday nights are often some of the best saturday nights! hope you had fun baking those cookies! 🙂
Allison@ Happy Tales says
Man oh MAN did you have some good eats today!!!! Froyo topped with cookiedough AND recees? Sounds like heaven in a bowl…
Those pictures of sadie are adorable. And yes, I also enjoy evenings in watching girly TV, too. Sometimes a girl just needs a chill night! (plus.. with the superbowl coming up, Sunday night will not be chill!)
Carrie says
DANG what a great Saturday!! new clothes, AMAZING food and family bonding!
Jess@atasteofconfidence says
Great saturday! and don’t worry –i think we all take late showers sometimes:)
Gill (snaxandthecity) says
Ohh I love how you’re so honest – sometimes I also don’t shower when I get back from the gym, if I”m home alone or just with M! Gross but true.
Haha i love that guys never really get the difference between types of female clothing. Why I have to have two pairs of black heels that are identical save for one being patent is a mystery to M, every time 🙂
Marina says
Baking cookies in comfy slippers looks like a perfect saturday night to me 🙂
Gen says
Sounds like you had a nice day!!
Hope you have a great Sunday!
Angie says
I love reading your posts! Your such a carefree fun loving girl as cliche as it sounds LOL. But serious you just find a way to enjoy life and be happy. It’s the simplest things in life I tend to overlook sometimes but I feel like when I come to your blog I know I’m going to find a women who has enjoyed her day and made the best of it no matter what! You’re truly a very inspiring women Julie!
Haleigh says
I never like anything banana flavored either. I didn’t even know Chobani started making yogurt for kids! That’s awesome!
Livvy says
I love your little story about shopping for “hose” with Ryan! That’s so cute!! 🙂 I’ve never seen that Chobani flavor but I’ll have to look for it and give it a try now that it has your seal of approval-yum;) Ooh and your fro-yo combo looks SO good-neopolitan at its’ finest:)
Sarah says
I love the sodastream! I drink the sparkling water flavors all the time.
Kellie says
FYI…… I have a soda stream and not only do I super love it but, the diet pink grapefruit is a rockin flavor. I use mine almost 3 or 4x a week and I hate soft drinks. My fav is the plain soda water with splashes of OJ and pineapple. Good luck experimenting!
Melissa (MelissaLikesToEat) says
Sounds like the perfect Saturday to me! 🙂
Lisa says
Too funny about the pantyhose. And the skirt looks orange in the photo. Am I the only one who noticed that?
Erin @ The Grass Skirt says
Love your conversation with Ryan over the hose! Yesterday, I was trying to help my husband understand that I was wearing leggings and not tight pants, but he never grasped the concept.
Holly says
Sadie pics! I love ’em 😀
Rae says
We got a soda stream for Christmas and LOVE it to death! It’s probably now the most used appliance in our kitchen – ha! We got the diet lemon-lime flavoring which tastes just like sprite and some coke zero. But we mainly use it to make plain seltzer water and then add a little juice for flavoring. Such a wonderful invention 🙂
Lindsey @ Cardio Pizza says
Sounds like a GREAT Saturday to me! I love lazy nights in, I had one myself!
Have a nice rest of your weekend! 🙂
