A less boring Saturday

Yesterday I woke up and went to the gym. The weather was so sunny and nice that P and I declared it a HOLIDAY! We had a yummy lunch with my parents and sister and then his brother biked over to our place and we all walked to the Atwater Market.

"HEY MELANIE!"....did someone shout my name??? Yay - we bumped into my favourite Italian/Chinese couple and had an impromptu picnic/snack on the grassy knoll around the market.

Then we spent the evening on our friend's rooftop patio having the best BBQ yet. Grilled octopus, salmon on a cedar plank, tilapia in tinfoil, ribs marinated overnight, steak, chicken wings, european sausages from la vielle europe, grilled vegetables, salad.

I had food coma and passed out at home at 11pm and could barely wake up this morning.

I heart great weather.

Boring Saturday routine.

Alarm goes off.
I dread waking-up and contemplate skipping my workout
PP pushes me out of bed
I go to the gym/PP goes grocery shopping and runs errands
We meet back at the house for lunch (either instant noodles - yum! or left overs from friday night's dinner)
I spend the afternoon doing chores and preparing to teach Sunday School class
PP cooks dinner and advance-prepares some meals for the week and does chores
Dinner
TV
zzzzzzzzzzz

While very boring, I love this routine. I like how it organizes my whole week. The weekends where we attend weddings or go on trips, nothing gets done and our week is more of a scramble with eat-out meals.
