Well, as predicted I treated myself to a leisurely walk down the beach this afternoon with my momma! All in all, about 4 miles or so. It was a delightful, breezy walk down the strip and we chatted it up the whole way. I'm very happy I listened to my body and decided to take advantage of such beautiful weather, and enjoy it with my momma at that! We haven't always been so close, but as I get older, and since I have moved out- it's such a treat to have a special opportunity to connect and learn about each other. I got home and my dad surprised her with a new bike! It was so cute, he went and picked it up while we were gone. It's a sparkly blue and white beach cruiser- SO COOL! It's her birthday soon, and tonight a good friend was having a surprise party for her! My dad sent me a picture of the cake.

This is the famed Caramel Cake, a family heirloom in itself, and my momma's all time favorite! So, Happy surprise birthday momma dukes!

Ok, enough of her back to me!!! Juuuuuuust kidding ;) But seriously, on to me...

After our walk, I snagged a ginormous Gala apple from there fridge snacking while I peddled around on her new bike :) I want one! On my way home I stopped at the little market by my apartment and got 4 apples, a pomegranate, 2 onions, 2 pints of berries, 2 clementines, an avocado, and a bag of brussels all for $8! I just love that little place. When I get a bike I can't wait to peddle my little booty down there in style, basket and all!

I came home and started on the remastering process that was my dinner, snacking on some gingered almonds. Yes, gingered almonds. I peeled and mashed my squashies with some extra seasoning and made little squash cakes fit for eatin. I stuck my brussels and tempeh (the last of this batch, promise!) into the oven and hopped in the shower (Dangerous: do not attempt!)

Check out my little Cabbage patch kiddies in the middle! I reached my fiber quota about 2/3's of the way through. I just love those little guys, too bad they get such a bad rap!

Well, it's time to lay another Sunday to rest...Twas a lovely day indeed! PT in the AM, let's get a good night's rest, shall we?

Warning: I may be grabbing something sweet very soon..
