The past few Mondays I have wanted to use “Sun Day” as my title! But then I remember there is a day of the week already called Sunday, so I try to think of something better.
Matt went into work at 3 this morning to cover a shift and was home and back in bed by 6:30 taking a nap. It was fun to wake up and have breakfast together despite the fact that he had already showered, eaten first breakfast and made lots of bread!
Breakfast was scrambled eggs, fruit and salt bagels with cream cheese our neighbors sent us home with yesterday. Mazen loves kiwi and mango now! (YES, kiwi fur and all!)
We walked downtown and met a bunch of our friends at ACAC. Since I had a rest day planned, I played hooky from Chris’s class and got a little work done until my friends joined me for girl time. I dipped my toes into the pool – it’s heated and I need to get in it soon!
Mazen and I went on a date for lunch since it was so nice outside. We hit up Eppie’s where I ordered the lemon pepper chicken (at Tricia’s advice!) with broccoli, pimento cheese grits, mac and cheese and cornbread.
Mazen had most of the mac, some broccoli and 2/3 of the cornbread. He wasn’t into the chicken or grits at all. I brought half the chicken home for later.
We had such a fun time together, I want to go out to lunch again soon!
We’re having a little quiet time now, and have plans to meet up with friends and get more outside time in later on. Gotta make hay while the sun shines!

The pimento cheese grits look ahhhmazing! I’m going to recreate that recipe soon, maybe with 1/2 pepper jack and 1/2 cheddar!

I love Mazen’s shades – he’s too cute in them! He’s also more brave than I am – I’ve never been able to eat kiwi fur!!! 🙂

Yum salt bagels! I love when I’m able to have breakfast with the significant other as well. It makes the day seem so much nicer!
