Weekend Wrap Up!

Happy Tuesday!

Yesterday I posted my Dam Half race recap so my Weekend Wrap Up got pushed back.

I hope your week has started off well!

We were super busy this weekend and I am proud of us for getting out there and having some fun!

Even though I go to bed very early, I am always tired when my alarm goes off at 5:30am! Luckily, some hot coffee helped perk me up before my run.

I ran 6 miles in my hood before work. Fun fact: I got that sports bra from Good Will when I was in COLLEGE. That's right, it's about 15 years old! It used to be purple. Now it just has a teeny tiny hint of purple left in it.

The kitties and I have morning rituals. One ritual Christmas and I have is that right after my shower, he busts into the bathroom and hops up on the toilet to get his teeth brushed. It's chicken flavored toothpaste and he is a pig.

At work, I spilled some of my coffee on my pants, so I dumped water all over them so it wouldn't stain. They actually dried pretty quickly.

My voice hasn't been lasting me an entire week. By Thursday afternoons, it is raw and scratchy. On Friday, it was really uncomfortable to sing and talk. I hydrated as best I could.

One fun thing that happened at work was that I got a package in the mail. My crayons arrived! The PTO gave us money for our classrooms, so one thing I bought was crayons. 48 packs, to be exact. Kids take terrible care of crayons. These may last until January.

Why does Amazon put a BOX in a BOX!?

Happiness!!!

It was an early dismissal day for the students, so I only had to teach 4 classes instead of 7. My voice was happy for that. I spent the last two and a half hours of work setting up my classroom for Monday (that didn't take very long) and COLORING. I'm coloring some boomwhacker and bell music. I really colored for about 2 hours while listening to murder podcasts...

For some reason, I brushed all of my hair forward when I got home from work. It wasn't pretty.

"You looked like one of the Beetles when they were 22!" Paul told me.

"I look 22!?" I exclaimed. I can extract a compliment from anything!

My garden is on the outs, but I did get a couple tomatoes and a huge zuke.

Then I sat on the couch, caught up on some TV and blogging, and drank some wine. Paula Farris was on The View and she is INSUFFERABLE.

I ended the evening with some wine and Hillary...

The best part of waking up is Chrissy in your face...

Seriously, there is no better way to wake up!

Paul and I watched some TV and then hit the gym!

After that, we went to see the movie Mother! Yesterday, I told you I thought the movie was horrible and I had no idea what it was about. Well, after Googling it and reading lots of analysis and reviews, I got a better jist of what the movie was supposed to be about. That's all I'm going to say as to not spoil it for you. However... I still didn't like it. I even apologized to Paul for dragging him!

I wear glasses. Only when I go to the movies or the theater. These are so old though... I know they look really outdated. But I don't even know what kind of glasses people wear these days! I just don't notice glasses. But I did notice these are NOT good!

Then we hit up two wineries to do some tastings. First, we went to Hunters Valley Winery in Liverpool. We did the five 2oz tastings for $10 and it included a wine glass! We ended up getting some bottles to take home.

  

 What half marathon!?

My favorite was Heart of the Valley and Susquehanna River Red. 

Before leaving, we walked around the vineyard. I never saw grapes like that up close!

Bucks Valley Winery was less than 10 minutes away. This winery had beer too. They make pizza and stromboli on sight. The ladies that took care of us here were a hoot. The tastings weren't as good- three tiny sips for $3.

Yay, no smoking!

I ended up buying a glass of a sweet apple wine and Paul got a beer. We drank on the porch overlooking beautiful Pennsylvania. I know we ooh and aah over California and Colorado, but PA is pretty too!

By now, we were STARVING! Off to Red Rabbit we went! This has been on my bucket list for years! I've lived within 30 minutes of Red Rabbit my whole life, yet I had never been there. This is an old fashioned 50s drive up food place. The waitresses come to your car!

Paul and I got Bunny Burgers, fries, diet coke, and a vanilla milkshake. The burgers were really good, the fries tasted like Wendy's, but the shake was DIVINE. Best shakes ever. Even better than Chick Fil A. (And I don't go to that place anymore, so at least now I have a place to get shakes that are just as good!)

Then we zoomed home. I needed to get sleep for my half marathon the next morning!

The Dam Half was hard but I felt so accomplished by the end. I recapped the race yesterday!

When I got home from the race, I did a lot of blogging and cooking! I was so tired and would've rather have gone straight to bed, but then I'd be up all night.

Instead, I did some cooking! White chicken chili, broccoli for lunch during the week, a pasta type casserole with cauliflower and chickpeas in it, and a Pumpkin Supreme Bar I made from a box.

Paul watched football while I cooked. But we did spend some time together when we cracked open a bottle of wine!

Bed felt gooooooooooooooooooood!

Local peeps: Any wineries I need to hit up?

Local peeps: Do you like Red Rabbit? Anything else we should try from there?

Who is reading What Happened?

Did you go see the movie Mother!?
