I think whenever anyone uses amazing grass products music to the sound of amazing grace should play in the background. no?
I ran to work & ended up getting stood up & stood up & stood up. I left salty having spent my entire morning ONLY seeing one client. work fail. But came home and got over it real fast when I realized the weather was enough to make any saltiness fly away. My sis and I got in the car pronto, picked up some friends and drove out East to bring in the Nation's Birthday the right way.
We got out East pretty fast and it was gorgeous. Long story short a bunch of friends and I spent the rest of the day eating, drinking sangria & laughing the day away. couldn't imagine it being any better! We hung around and gathered by the water as the sun began to set and the fireworks were ready to be ablaze
it got cold!
and the night ended with a bang!
side note: I spent HALF the fireworks show trying to understand how the "fireworks" setting on my camera works. this was the only legit picture that came out. it wasn't even taken with the fireworks setting. photography fail.
is that not the most gorgeous plum ever?
That's about all of the pictures I have from Sunday but the weather was gorgeous and I found out the hard way that SPF 15 is probably not enough. We had shrimp for dinner because I was looking too much like a lobster.
I hadn't gotten to work out all weekend so I wanted to start the week off right with spin class. I was also VERY excited because the usual snoozefest teacher that teaches Monday mornings was on vaca so a replacement was taking over for the class and I love the teacher who was subbing. I wake up too early for even the roosters, eat a slice of toast and some strawbreezies and my lobster colored self is ready for some action.
fail. 6:10 rolls around and who's in the class? me & the teacher.. I'm like uuuh so I guess it's cancelled? She's like yep. greeeeat. Since I couldn't get my spin on I got a great treadmill walking workout in instead. I wasn't feeling the elliptical and since my options were limited I decided to opt in for the treadmill. I got in a solid hour on the treading walking intervals and hills and was a big ole sweaty mess after. success!

best breakfast ever.
This morning my smoothie contained the same as usual but this time I threw a few blueberries in! check out the blue speckles!
I went to work and literally didn't stop speaking for 3 hours straight! I was all talked out by the time I got home so I used my mouth for something else..
yep you guessed it.
looks familiar? HHHH... for the record apples & hummus is insane. insanely good.
oh the joy of leftovers..
that's a pound of seaweed salad in less then 24 hours. proud? you betcha
annnnd you thought I'd be having lunch without salsa.
Don Sabrosa oh how you never fail me. This time it was the Roasted Garlic flavor. mmm mmm good. The mild is GREAT! So garliciky, just don't have a date afterwards. The only thing is (I don't know whether it's good or bad) is that there isn't much of a temperature different atleast according to my tastebuds between the mild and hot. take this information as you please..
anddd because I figured I didn't get ALL the colors of the rainbow in during lunch. I'd finish it off with a nice yellow-orange & blue. rainbow complete.
Welp I'm off back to work in an hour or two and then back to watch The Bachelorette! pa pa pa pleaaase pick Ed!
two things:
1. have any of you been receiving my email responses to your comments? I'm not sure how to get the responses via email to work!
2. who's switched to wordpress that wants to help :)
mucho love!
I would also LOVE to thank the finsmom over at Latest Addictions for awarding me this wonderful Kreativ Blogger award! You're a doll girl thanks :)

That sucks about the spin class, lazy peeps not showing up to class! Looks like you enjoyed your 4th. :) I keep looking for the coconut cream Larabars but haven't found them around here yet. LOL.
No spin = suck, but treadmill intervals = super good option! Way to recover!
You are very welcome! Glad you like it!
Sounds like you had a great workout! I just finished doing the Turbo Jam Extreme Fat Burner video with my 4 year old, so I am a sweaty mess as well!
haha i am loving all the fails in this post. do you read failblog.org? if not you gots to check it. hilarious. dude i forgot my camera even has a setting for fireworks! damnit. maybe next year i suppose. and from now on im going to be humming amazing grace errytime i see AG on blogs! haha!
looks like you had a great weekend that sucks about your spin class being canceled though!
Sounds like a wonderful 4th of July!
Haha, I'm totally with you on the Fireworks setting... I have yet to figure mine out and I've had it for 2 and a half years. I wonder if they just say "fireworks" because they want you to think it's a neat feature, but since you only really use it once a year, you won't figure out that it actually doesn't work. Just my thoughts! ;)
xxoo
Heather
i'm sure you make a gorg. lobster ;) glad you had such a great 4th miss thing!
ugh i am so behind on the bachelorette :( trash tv fail!
Lobster syndrome is abundant this summer! I swear the sun is about 10 times more powerful this summer than any other summer! I used 8 this weekend at a baseball game...FAIL!
Looks like you had a great 4th!
Spending the entire weekend in your bathing suit is the norm! Wearing pants/shirts/regular underwear is just crazy talk ;)
Sounds like you had a great weekend!! Sorry spin got cancelled - people must be on an extended vaca!
I've never recieved an email reply if you tried to send one!
i never know on the email comments, that is one thing about blogger that makes me nutty.
i decided no fireworks pics this year for the very reason you mentioned, I wanted to actually see the whole show!
Lol, I still can't figure out the fireworks feature on my camera either! It still comes out blurry and not crisp or clear. Oddly enough, my 'food' setting takes the best pictures of nearly everything. Ironic? Yes, I think so!
Such a bummer about spin class - you should've had the leader teach just you :D
Congrats on the award - yeah! I had the same type of breakfast - so good!
Ohhh the Bachlorette finale is on?! Hmmmm....I missed out on most of this go round but I am always up for a finale - must check it out!
I am in the procuess of switching to Wordpress, but, I suck pretty much....I need to just take the time to sit down and figure it out since it's so different from blogger. That might be a good thing since I currently have two url's out there lol.
Have a fantastic night.
Wow, that is a very dark and delicious looking plum! And, coconut cream pie LArbar? Yum! I've never tried that one, but I mist!
I can't wait to meet you!!!
Your holiday looks fun! And I think that just might be the best breakfast ever :) Although flax french toast and PB naner oats might make it a tie :)
What a fabulous view from the lake! Sounds like a great weekend to me!
Too bad spiining was cancelled. I bet the teacher was bummed, too!
Do you still get paid when your clients stand you up? That sounds so frustrating! Your plum looks so delicious, and I love that you spent 48 hours in your bathing suit, haha! Sorry spinning was canceled. It's so frustrating when that happens.
Lovin the coconut cream pie Lara action--YUM.
That plum IS rather gorgeous!
Ahhh don't tell me about the Bachelorette...I'm about three weeks behind!!
LOL at sleeping in your bathing suit!
Sorry about all the fails. Boo.
I'm a wordpress gal but from the get-go...never did the switch.
dude, the switch to wordpress was my least fave blogging experience yet. blog fail.
remember back in the day, when we were kids and we never changed out of swim suits all summer long...oh wait...
haha, solo spinning would have been SO awkward!
that plum is juuuuicy! amazing grass and eng muffin is a solid start to the day!
Your 4th of July sounded great! I wish I was in your setting instead of my boat haha. All those green monsters look wonderful! Oh and I must try apples and hummus now!
So lousy about spin. I can't believe you were the only one to show.
