I woke up this morning with a horrible sore throat. I decided to take a sick day to rest and hopefully ditch this sore throat. I hate being sick and I really hate having a sore throat.
I am going to rest, watch Confessions of a Shopaholic and maybe even make some homemade soup later on.
I also need to clean out my closet.

Update...
I know I haven't been blogging a whole lot, but not much has been going on. I work all the time (or so it seems) I hang out with friends, grill, and lounge around on the weekends and that is about it.
E and I did manage to catch the Harry Potter movie last Tuesday, and we also went to the MN zoo last week.
I had Punch Pizza for the first time recently which was delicious.
E and I booked a trip to Denver over Labor Day weekend.
One of my bestest friends is coming to town next week which I am incredibly excited about.
I learned how to make two different kinds of pickles recently. E planted cucumbers in his garden so we have a lot of them coming in now.
Oh, and I am totally looking forward to the end of the week. On Saturday we are having yet another BBQ and I will be enjoying a gigantic cheeseburger. I never really realized just how hard being a vegetarian is, but I did realize that it is not for me. I am thinking that I am going to cut back on meat, but I cannot go 100% without. I found out today that my friend J that was doing the veggie eating with me gave up the 2nd week in July and didn't tell me! He said that he didn't want me to give up so he just kept it to himself. What a sweetheart (that is totally getting his ass kicked this coming weekend!)
Anyway, that is about all. I am going to try and get E to go see The Ugly Truth this week. He picked the last movie (other than HP) and I think it is my turn.

What A Weekend...
I got to work the day shift at work on Friday so I was able to start my weekend early. E and I went to St Anthony Village shopping center to grab Chipotle for dinner, went to the liquor store to stock up on beverages for the party on Saturday and hit up Cub to grab the last odds and ends we needed for grilling. When we got home we had planned to hang out with some friends, but instead we decided to sit out on the patio, have a few beers and just chat. Saturday we got up a bit early, made up some of the sides for our party and just took it easy. We had a successful BBQ, I grilled up portobello caps and a MorningStar Farms Italian sausage. I liked the mushroom cap a lot, but I did not enjoy the sausage.
After eating we realized that at least two houses around us were shooting off some pretty fun fireworks so we went out front to watch. Unfortunately my psychotic neighbor (who I have mentioned before) decided to start some drama. I was already pissed since her two gigantic pit bulls almost attacked me, so I went off. It got pretty ugly but thankfully her boyfriend was sober and told her to shut up. Her son also came and apologized later on that night.
Today I got up really early (for me anyway) had coffee with my friend JB out on the patio and then cleaned up the house, read the paper, had lunch with E and did some other chores. E and I also walked to Subway for dinner. I had the veggie delite (the first time I have tried it) and it was so good that even if I don't keep up with this vegetarian eating I will be getting that again. It has been five days and so far so good!
I am hopeful that this work week goes by quickly. On Saturday E and I are going to The Wedge (finally) and to the French Meadow bakery for lunch. Saturday night E is going to order UFC 100 so I am sure we will have a house full of people. I am hoping that we can convince JB to bring Catan. He brought it over a few weekends ago and it was so much fun! I am going to have to order it so he doesn't have to bring it over every time we want to play.

Fun Stuff...
Everytime I see the Smirnoff Ice commercial where they make a slip and slide on the golf course it makes me think about how much I want a slip and slide.
Two More Days...
Until I can enjoy some sun (hopefully), some portobella burgers, some delicious sangria, friends and some fun, but in the meantime I will be working, even on Friday. Boo.
I started my veggie diet today and I had everything all planned out. I made a big healthy salad, had some fresh watermelon and blueberries, some black bean dip and some veggies and some butternut squash soup all ready to go. It wasn't until I got to work that I realized that my soup had tipped and had leaked all over my car. Next time I will bring the entire container (cardboard box?) instead.
On top of this healthy eating I have decided that I am going to take a break from buying lunch at work. I am also going to say adios to Caribou and Starbucks (unless E is buying.) I figured out how much I spend on that stuff in a month and I will be putting that into my savings account. Just to make a point anytime I break down and buy lunch or coffee I will be depositing double. Hopefully I can get out of this spending habit I have been in. I figure though, I gave up Diet Coke completely so giving up Starbucks and stuff shouldn't be all that hard, right?
For you Minneapolis bloggers out there, have any of you been to The Wedge? I am thinking of checking it out for the first time on Saturday. Is it worth the trip or should I just trek to Whole Foods?

Quick Update...
I know I have been gone for awhile. I will be back soon with a bigger update, but I have decided to do something BIG for the month of July. For the entire month (this weekend included) I am not eating any meat. I am really stepping up my game of healthy eating and I think that this is a perfect way to go about it. If it works out and I actually enjoy it it may become a permanent change. If not, at least I gave it a shot. I will be back with a full post soon. Promise!
