Newly Minted

At 11am we were debating our lunch plans. I decided I wanted to break a sweat before my official shower of the day, so I headed out on a 5K quick run.

Despite my sleep deprivation, I ran super fast – mile two was in 8:09!! I think because yesterday was a bit of a rest day!

Then we rounded up the troops and went out brunching

IMG_1675Blog-2

Could not get enough water! And also could not stop sweating! No air conditioning in this casa is most difficult after a hot run – even with a cold shower!

IMG_1677Blog

We had a 30 minute wait, so while I chugged water, the boys chugged beers. They never stop! Canada (aka Chris) and Kanz were college roommates for 4 years!

Matt got the Dogfish Head Dry-Minted Stout. It was INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!! Thick, chewable, minty like a thin mint. Not what you’d typically think of for a beer flavor, but it really worked. I ended up stealing about half of his pint in sips.

For lunch I ordered a Tomato Bisque that really hit the spot

And a salad with fennel, orange, apple, arugula and a blueberry-mint dressing. Mint was the flavor of the day!

After lunch we went to the bakery for some paperwork + bookkeeping

And I had most of a Savannah bar for dessert. Love these so much!

We’re back home, tired as can be. I kind of want to take a nap, but I wonder if it will disrupt my sleep cycle! I’d like to do some reading but I’m 100% sure I’d fall asleep if that happened. I also need to make a video for OpenSky!

Short, short weekend.

    You are non-stop. Take a break somewhere along the way! I wish I could go out to brunches with you – all my friends don’t typically opt for the salads alas.

    Your fast – that’s a speedy mile!

    I say take a nap! I love naps, especially if they are short enough to tide you over for the rest of the day w/out ruining the sleep cycle.

    Your salad looks realllyyyyy good!!

    Looks like such a good time with friends and nothing like a really mellow, lowkey, quiet weekend for you. <—kidding! 🙂

    And as I am looking at the shot of Matt at the bakery, I am instantly thinking that the countertop, the space, the lighting…would make for a PERFECT food photography studio or place to take some amazing pics. The windows,lighting, long and big work surfaces…oh there is just so much you can do with that space other than serve great bread, of course 🙂

    Great job onthe run. I hate it when I feel like there is NO way for me too cool off after running. I debate taking ice baths sometimes. haha

    Hope you can squeeze some rest in 🙂 My husband has a ritual of taking just a 15 minute nap every Sunday after we eat breakfast. It is miraculous what a little snooze can do… But, you don’t want to throw off your sleep game either 😉

    Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

    I’ve gotten into this habit (now that I’m staying up to like 1 AM every night while still getting up at 7 AM–AHH!) of taking a 20 minute cat nap in the afternoon around 2/3 PM. Usually its unintentional (I’m usually reading, or TRYING to read, my school-assigned summer reading) but I’ve actually really been enjoying them–and they let me keep up my newly developed, sleep-depriving bad habit (that I love!)

    Wow, busy day! I’m not a napper, I find it causes problems with sleeping at night and I never feel energized after. Take some rest time today just reading or chilling and go for a good nights sleep tonight.

    Do you not have air conditioning in your place, or have you just chosen not to turn it on because of the cost? I personally could not live in a place without air, but that is because I would NEVER sleep. I have to be COLD to sleep! 🙁

      We have it but we don’t use it because of #1 cost and #2 we like warm weather. We have lots of fans!

    So odd that I stumbled into your blog, because we’re practically neighbors. I live out at Lake Monticello and thought the backgrounds in your pics looked familiar…I was at Beer Run on Saturday. Love their food and beer and will definitely try this one out next time!
