Unleashing my inner relaxer

Here's what I did with my mommy sunday:

I...

-read naked in bed with the electric blanket on high until I dozed off and half slept/half listened to Elliott Smith on headphones.

-strength trained and did yoga.

-lit candles and spent an hour copying recipes into my new recipe book.

-Baked a cocoa banana oat bread that turned out amazing. (And ate way too much of it.)

-Pretended to be Jenny Lewis and sang my heart out to the darkening night in my underwear.

-Looked through seed catalogs online and researched growing Kale, which seems like it's going to be easy.

-Went to a book store and bought The Average American Male by Chad Kultgen. Disgustingly guilty reading.

-Went to the library and checked out vegan cookbooks and Room by Emma Donoghue.

-Went to gym and rode the recumbent bike and read at the same time. Oh yeah. I totally phoned it in and loved it.

It's me alright, with the little finger of god pointing me out.

  2. So much love in my heart for Jenny Lewis! Who wouldn't want to be her? Sounds like you had an amazing day. I also love the combo of exhausting myself and totally relaxing. One of my favorite birthday gifts ever was from my mom: we went on this incredibly long, difficult hike, and then she bought me a hot stone massage! I totally fell asleep on the table.

  3. Tina, I love finding other Jenny fans! And I KNOW! She's my dream girl when I didn't even know I had a dream girl. ;)

    That birthday sounds amazing. I had a hot stone massage once that totally changed my life.
