Instead of going to Vermont for the long weekend, Mal and I decided to do this…
… that’s right, a lot of sitting on the couch and relaxing. Mal and I both had really hectic weeks, and with being in Newport all last weekend, we thought another weekend away might just stress us out, especially since we never got our lives organized this past week. (We STILL have no food in the house!) While Mal and I are both generally social people, we definitely value our downtime.
Check out “Michael Scott” in the background on the TV. We watched yesterday’s Office episode while eating dinner and drinking wine.
Dinner tonight was “healthy” junk food… well, healthier junk food: Alexia Mozzarella Stix and Morning Star Chik’ n Nuggets, both of which have been hanging out in our freezer for a few weeks now. The Mozzarella Stix were fantastic– almost as good as the regular version. When dipped into marinara sauce, you couldn’t even tell the difference between the “fake” and the “real deal.” The Chik’ n Nuggets were sort of weird. I know they’re not chicken, but the flavor was a little off to me. The soy protein tasted sort of bland and too healthy… if that makes sense?
Our evening on the couch also included a bottle of Smoking Loon Chardonnay. The bottle is already half empty! Oops!
Lunch
Sorry that I didn’t put up a lunch post this afternoon. I went to lunch with a bunch of my coworkers, so I wasn’t able to whip-out my camera and take photos. I mistakenly revealed too much on the blog about my future career plans, and I don’t want my coworkers to know quite yet. Anyway, we went to Penguin Pizza for a leisurely pizza lunch. There, I ordered an enormous piece (basically 2 pieces) of 3 Tomato Pizza, which was made with 3 different types of tomatoes, pesto, and a 4-cheese blend. It was out of this world! 
Even after finishing such a huge piece of pizza, my stomach wanted an afternoon snack. I made myself a packet of Quaker Maple and Brown Sugar High Fiber Oatmeal, which was carby and sweet, but somewhat artificial tasting.
I’m baking tonight! I can’t even remember the last time I baked! I’ve missed it! So, I arrived home tonight, did a few things around the apartment, then blasted the Once soundtrack while mixing ingredients and jamming out in the kitchen! I’m such a dork, but it was such a fun Friday evening activity!

Pictures! So many pictures. We stayed in this little resort all by ourselves. There were a few little casitas and then a common area with a kitchen, lots of lounge chairs for napping, and a swimming pool: I spent a lot of time in[...]http://couchcubicle.com/2008/10/27/mexico/
