Can ya feel it? The weekend is almost here! Yipee! The funny thing about this weekend is that I have practically zero plans-- my sister and I are going for a run tomorrow morning, and Mal and I may have some friends over tomorrow night to watch the Celtics, but other than that, zippo on my agenda! I am psyched for some serious R&R! I'm definitely one of those people who needs "me" time; I need downtime to recharge.
My afternoon snack today was Fage with fresh strawberries. No sweetener needed today!
After lunch, I ran some errands, and somehow ended up at Dunkin Donuts!?! Funny how that happens, right? I swung in for a small iced coffee. This beautiful weather makes me crave iced coffee in a bad way!
Lunch was Shepard's Pie leftovers. I took a photo, but it really wasn't a pretty picture-- for some reason that combination of ingredients just doesn't photograph well, so I decided to leave them out and spare you. Instead, I posted photos of the most delicious oatmeal raisin cookies ever!
I had three of these goodies after eating my Shepard's Pie leftovers.

I'm really into the band called Metro Station, and there songs are PERFECT for workouts - my favorite songs by them are titled: "Kelsey," "Shake It," "Disco," "Control," and "Now That We're Done."
I need to exercise more... haha
Lately I've been listening to drum and bass group called Pendulum, I think the album is Slam...anyway, about 24 minutes in, when I'm ready to wuss out, this track "Hold Your Color" comes on, and helps me push through it...or I've been listening to Rise Against...basically something heavy and fast paced... :)
thanks for posting those songs!!! i am in dire need of updating my playlist (from like 2 yrs ago!)... :)
Thanks for the recommendations, everyone! I am updating my ipod right now! :)
