Monday, must you come so soon?  Wah.

Yesterday’s quilting session at Shannon‘s apartment was very fun!  She had a little Panini bar set out for Missy and I, and I brought over a salad.  She also made butterscotch blondies, which were unreal.  Love me some cheat day.

We spent the afternoon catching up while cutting up all our Providence College t-shirts.  All my squares are ready to go, and we ordered the black sweatshirt fabric online.  Shannon also taught me how to use her sewing machine.  I have a long way to go, but I’m excited for our next session.  Shannon’s a good teacher, and it’s nice to do something different!

After the quilting bee was over, I spent too much money dilly dallied in Target and then stopped by Slesh’s to give her and Will the biggest hug ever, a card, and see the ring!  I got all the details on their wonderful engagement weekend, then came home and did my usual Sunday night food prep for the week ahead.

Pictured:

• Low-fat cottage cheese with blueberries, slivered almonds, and cinnamon (my go to workday breakfast)
• Carrots
• Celery
• Sliced strawberries
• Unsalted cashews
• Sliced oranges (STILL leftover from the Spin A Thon)
• Hard boiled eggs
• Paleo banana walnut muffins (Dawn’s recipe!)
• Beef stew in the crock pot

I love feeling ready for the week!  Anyone else as crazy as me and prep this much stuff ahead of time?  It helps!
