"I had a lot of dates but I decided to stay home and dye my eyebrows." - Andy Warhol

I love weekends. This one was particularly nice because of the amazing hot weather. Yesterday I spent the majority of the afternoon at the lake, floating on an air mattress. It was so relaxing and heavenly, I would like to do it every day. We then had a BBQ dinner here with some friends along with homemade pina coladas and Dilly bars from DQ. Yum.

Today I made blueberry pancakes from scratch (read: no box mix) and they were delish. (I'm sensing a food-related theme to this post.) Then we went to a swap meet, I bought a new wallet (not from the swap meet) because mine had fallen apart last week, and we ended the afternoon at the art gallery because I really wanted to see the Warhol exhibit. Which was fabulous. Loved it.

Also on Saturday morning, I went to the gym. I'm trying to get back into a gym routine because I've fallen off the boat lately. I get really into it for a couple of weeks and then I seem to lose interest for a month or two and then the cycle starts again. So I'm hoping this time will be different. I'm setting a realistic weekly goal of 3 1-hour sessions at the gym, with basically 30-40 mins of cardio and 20-30 mins of weights/stretches/floor work. I might actually start a separate fitness blog to track my progress and hopefully keep me motivated. I'm not looking to lose weight at all, I'd just like to be healthy and tone up a little more. I'm on my way... last week at the grocery store I bought soy milk to replace my regular milk and tofu to replace steaks.

Tomorrow morning I have to bring my car down to the shop so it can get fixed! Yay! I'll be getting a rental car for a couple days while the work is getting done and then it will feel like I have a brand new car... well, sort of. Hehe. Anyway, I have to be there at 8AM, so... zzz...
