monday mantra & weekend wrap-up.

April 4, 2011 by Rachel 6 Comments

First, be sure to enter my Shabby Apple dress giveaway!

What a weekend! I had so much fun, but honestly, it’s nice to have the week back so I can relax a little. Backwards, right? Well, this week I have nothing planned for my weekdays except work and working out! Perfect! 

I spent this weekend exactly as I had anticipated: with friends, fun with a little bit of beer and a few vegan desserts mixed in.

Saturday I went to the vegan bake sale to purchase some delicious vegan/gluten-free desserts and also to support the relief efforts in Japan {read all about the bake sale here!}

On our pottery girl-date, we took 2 hours painting our masterpieces! Ha! But we had a blast. 
Here’s a sneak-peak at my two plates, pre-kiln:
Took probably as long as you’d imagine…
On to this weeks Monday Mantra!
This week I hope to just breathe, smile, and survive.
Because that’s really all I need!
I believe that I can handle anything this week throws at me. 
I’m addicted to food. Seriously. I couldn’t eat enough food this weekend!
I wish for sleep, energy & positive vibes for an awesome week.
I’m jealous of nothing and no one.

Weekend Update:

– I volunteered to work this morning for a few hours. Before work I hit the gym this morning. By the time I got to work my boss had Brueggers coffee and a plain bagel for me (nothing on it, absolutely plain). Time passed quickly and I got paid OT. Not bad!

– I did laundry for the first time in my own washer and dryer! (It’s the little things that make me happy).

– I used Restaurant.com to get four $25 gift cards for a buck a piece!

– I recently was a winner from a giveaway of an order of SweetAmbs Cookies!
{My first ever mail at my new apartment!}
{I’m a sucker for desserts wrapped in ribbon}
{beautiful cookies}

This is a description from the SweetAmbs Cookies etsy store:
6 Orange Vanilla Spice Cookies decorated with “embroidered” royal icing flowers in pink on brown background. Each cookie measures about 3-1/2″ in diameter.
Sweetambs cookies are made from a basic sugar cookie recipe, which is then flavored with fresh orange zest, vanilla beans, and a hint of cardamom. The royal icing has a dash of vanilla extract to bring together the wonderful flavors of the cookie.
Each cookie is individually wrapped and heat sealed. They stay soft and taste fresh for up to four weeks when kept in their wrappers or stored in an air tight container. Your cookies will arrive packaged beautifully in a white box tied with a ribbon.
All of my cookies are done by hand so they may vary slightly from the ones pictured here, but I always make sure that each one is beautiful!

– And my mom and dad are on there way up from Ohio to visit me tonight! They won’t get here until around midnight, but I am so grateful to have them coming to see me. They are bringing some more of my stuff so I hope I can post some pictures soon.
