This Weekend Was [Cuddle] Perfect

~Friday~

I got to sleep in with Amazing Boyfriend, which is just wonderful in itself.  And to make it even better, he got up to make us breakfast!  -- egg burritos with bacon.

I laid in bed, watched some TV, and soaked in the laziness, while he got things ready.

I got up, we ate, and laid on the couch cuddling.

{There is just something about cuddling with your man that brings calmness and relaxation.}

We watched some shows and football games, and around two, he left to grab us some lunch.

After lunch, we cuddled some more, until around five, we both had to leave -- him to go coach his junior high hockey team and me to my massage.

I left before he did, and headed over to Massage Best Friend's house to get a wonderful massage.

Afterwards, I headed to the rink to watch his last game.

We both headed home when the game was done and I got to cooking our dinner --filet mignon with mashed potatoes and cooked veggies.

It was so delicious!  I had been marinating the meat in my special sauce for almost two days prior to cooking it.

After, we enjoyed a huge big bowl of ice cream and bought a movie on OnDemand called Trespass.

I've never heard of it before, but it had Nicholas Cage and Nicole Kidman in it.

The movie was INSANE!  Good, but insane.  I was clenching onto Amazing Boyfriend's hands the whole entire movie.  My stomach hurt quite a bit after.  Those types of movies that can really happen do that to me.

I took two Tums and we headed off to bed.

~Saturday~

I got to sleep in until about 10:30(!), which is so wonderful, since Fridays and Saturdays are my only sleep-in days.

I finally rolled out of bed around 11, brushed my teeth, washed my face, and strolled into the kitchen to warm me up some chocolate chip waffles.

It was freezing in my cute little apartment, so I put on some socks and a sweatshirt and settled down on the couch to watch some of my shows.

It was coming up on noon when I decided I should get off my lazy butt up and get started on my Saturday cleaning before I got too comfy.

I got to my cleaning and was done in about an hour/hour and a half.  I was very proud of myself, except for the fact that during my cleaning I dropped and broke our tooth brush holder, that comes in a set.  So I have to go Walmart today to see if I can find it sold separately, so I don't have to buy the whole set again online.

Cross your fingers!

I'm very hungry after I get done cleaning, vacuuming, and doing laundry.

I did a lot of shopping a few days ago, so our kitchen is very stocked up and a sandwich sounds delicious, since I have all the fixin's.

Amazing Boyfriend came home from work around 3ish and we cuddled on the couch, while he took a nap, and I watched TV.

Around 6, I got up to start dinner...something I had been craving for a while --burritos!

And OMG, they were so good!  I cooked up some Mexican rice to go along with it, and I made us some margaritas! Yum! 

We watched some football and ate our dinner, then got right back to cuddling up on the couch.

(I know, we're like pros at cuddling...but we never get to see each other with our work schedules, so when we do, we want to be as close together as possible.)

About 10 o'clock, we remembered to turn our clocks back, and headed to bed.  

(I didn't even have to change, because I, for once, got to stay in my pajamas ALL DAY!  Which was SO NICE!)

We turned on the TV in our room to watch before we fell asleep and found that Aladdin was on ABC Family.

After about 20 minutes, we were passed out...cuddling.

~Sunday~

With the time change and all the relaxing cuddling, I am feeling pretty good.

I got up at a descent time and got ready for church.

Got to church around 9ish and after, headed off to my parents for the day.

I've got to head to Walmart here pretty soon and hopefully Super Mom will be so kind as to do my hair for me, because my roots getting bad.

-------------------------------------------------------

I love my life, but this weekend was one of the best I've had in a long time.

Especially with all the cuddling!

How was your weekend?

Homemade Dinners

Well, I was supposed to have a new friend over tonight for dinner and a movie, but I guess bailing on me and not answering her texts or calls is more important :(

So since I was starving and couldn't wait for amazing boyfriend to get home from work (he gets off after 11pm), I made my pre-planned dinner and ate by myself.

This morning I thawed out some chicken I had in the freezer and put it in a ziploc with some marinade I put together.  It sat in the fridge all day....marinading!  First time I've ever done that, I was kind of totally excited!  I put a slice in the George Foreman Grill and listened to it sizzle.

Then got a pot boiling with some milk, water, and butter.  Added some noodles and seasoning, and wah-lah!

(I took the picture after I already ate some,
there was a lot more than that haha.)

Popped open a bottle of wine.

And enjoy!

Fabulous Fridays

Even though it was a shorter work week for me,

it seems to have laster longer than a normal week.

Why does that always happen?

Well, finally, its here!

I'm almost off work,

and for the first time in a long time,

amazing boyfriend has the night off!
I am so excited!
I wonder what we'll do?
We're kinda broke right now,
so maybe I'll make a homemade dinner,
with some candles,
...and wine!
Then maybe snuggle up and watch a movie.
I love to snuggle.
And tomorrow, I get to sleep in!
I also will be posting the next week of my Home Tour.
Don't forget to check it out :)

Have a Fabulous Friday everyone!

Homemade Dinners

I'm finally getting to showing you what kind of homemade dinners I make!

Last nights dinner was PANINIS!

I made them on sourdough bread with two kinds of turkey:

southwest turkey

smoked turkey

Other ingredients:

pepper jack cheese

tomato

peppercinis

maple honey bacon

avocado

On mine, I put mayo and mustard.

On amazing boyfriends, I put Jack Daniels Hickory Smoke mustard.

When the sandwiches were all put together,
I put a little melted butter on the outside
and sprinkled it with a little garlic salt.

Then onto the George Forman grill they go!

Leave on for a few minutes,
and wah-lah!

Homemade Dinners

Before I moved out, the only thing I cooked was top ramen, stuffing, or spaghettios.  I just had no interest in making anything...I had other people for that.  Haha.  Now that I'm living with Amazing Boyfriend, it's like this switch has been turned on, and I'm a cooking queen.  Almost every night, I make a homemade dinner for him and me, and I don't want to brag, but they are delicious!

I go grocery shopping almost every Saturday to get food for the meals I'm going to make during the next week.  I usually get a lot of the same stuff and every now and then I'll change it up and get some different items.  Amazing Boyfriend and I also like to go to this cute little farmers market that's down the street from us to get fresh fruits and veggies.

A few things that I have made before are: (pictures to come later)

• Meatloaf with red Idaho potatoes
• Steak with mashed potatoes and fresh green beans
• Panini sandwiches
• Spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread
• Chicken and rice
• Chicken and pineapple kabobs

Like last night, I made bowtie pasta with garlic and herb marinara sauce.  I topped it with a seasoned chicken breast.  On the side I boiled then sauteed some green beans, and toasted up some garlic bread.  It was delicious.  I could only eat half, but Amazing Boyfriend finished off the whole thing!

I get a little help making these dinners from the George Forman Grill that my grandparents got us for Christmas last year.  That thing is absolutely amazing!  I cook just about everything and anything on it and it cooks the food in minutes.  I've even made waffles on it!  How cool is that?  And it's easy to clean up too.

Now, when it's been a long day, and cooking something just seems impossible, there's this lovely thing called sushi that is made daily at the grocery store.  Add some edamame with that, and wah-lah, a yummy dinner.  I also buy frozen foods like:

• CPK pizza 
• Wanchai chinese dinners for two
• Bubba burgers

And then there's also take out...
