Oh hello, how are you all today? Still crippled over here, even my armpit hurts, waaaah. Yesterday I attempted to workout, and wanted to cry the entire 40 minutes I was on the elliptical. I’m hoping this soreness goes away by tomorrow just in time for me to do the workout again and cause severe pain for the weekend. I’ll probably end up on the elliptical again today watching the World Cup game at lunch time. Go USA!
Last night when I was cooking dinner, I found myself faced with yet another zucchini and yellow squash to use up before they went bad. Now don’t get me wrong, those are two of my favorite summer time veggies, but I just couldn’t face them one more time roasted or grilled. I ended up peeling both into strips and throwing them in a pan with some olive oil, salt and pepper to saute. This was still sounding super boring to me, so at the last minute I transferred everything to a casserole dish, mixed it with marinara, topped with some cheese, and threw it into the oven. I’ve made zucchini and yellow squash lasagna before, so I didn’t think this would end up a complete disaster. I was right.
Blurry iPhone picture, but you get the idea. Served with a piece of BBQ chicken, a weird combo for sure, but it was good, and a lot less boring than plain roasted veggies. After dinner I actually got to chat with my boyfriend for a little while (his hours are insane in the summer) and got into an interesting discussion.
Apparently that day at work, he was brainstorming proposal ideas (I wish he wouldn’t tell me these things) and running them by his guys, and thought he had come up with some good ones. Now, knowing Dar is a little, umm over the top, I managed to slip it into the convo that I think intimate proposals are a lot more special and what I would prefer. He was surprised and then said, “well I guess I can tell you about what I thought was a good idea then”. Long story short, baseball stadium surprise proposal. I was like, nope no way, I would die of embarrassment with all those people there, much more low- key please. He was like, ok well I’m glad we had this chat. Men, sometimes they need just a little help.
So yeah, ladies if you’re married/engaged how’d your man propose, if you’re not, how would you want him to? I wouldn’t mind if a few close friends and family were there, but 65,000 strangers, no thanks!
