Memorial Day Off

You know how it goes every Sunday - if I *just* had one more day in the weekend...

Well, I didn't have Memorial Day plans today, and I have gotten so much rest over the weekend.

So what do you do with a solid day off alone?

I stayed in bed until noon because I could. I didn't need the rest, but I think I needed the act of rebellion. I watched a show called "Southern Charm" on Bravo. I think I am a little late to the party on this one. Like the Kardashians, it is not good, but you can get locked in quickly!

Lucas and I watched Chef last night, and that cute movie was inspiring for a couple of reasons. For one thing, it captures the entrepreneurial spirit (of the food truck variety). It also emphasizes the importance of family. Well, it sent me on a hunt for groceries today and the urge to hang out with myself in the kitchen. Just the dog, cat, Spotify and me. Have you ever bought a yucca? I just did, and we are making yucca fries this week! I just baked a Paleo Cinnamon Coffee Cake, and I bought ingredients to make bulletproof coffee.

I also like to take the spare time to plan my week - meals, exercise, work obligations and deadlines and social. I get through it all by planning and finding what is motivating me. I have a Destin trip in about three weeks, and I am using these three weeks as a mental "homestretch" toward vacation. If I kick butt for these three weeks, then vacation will be a well deserved (and much-needed) break!
