Monday Thoughts :)

Hey There,

I hope you all had a very nice weekend! Even though it was over in the blink of an eye (as they all are!), I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful weather and spending time with friends.



 

On Saturday evening, I went to a phenomenal surprise 30th birthday for the stylish cowboy in the center of all the ladies :0)



 

I think it's safe to say that if there was a bouncy castle, he would have been in it! Who am I kidding, I would have been, too.

I ate some colorful food.

Whipped up a Sunday snausage frittata for PJ and I. Yes, I meant to write snausage.

Sipped lots of Pellegrino out of wine glasses. Honestly, if you haven't slurrped this sparkling goodness out of a fabulous glass, try it. I promise it tastes better and you feel oh so fancy.

I made this AWESOME dish on Thursday evening.  It's hiding under the creamy chickpeas, but I served this yummy spinach and chickpea mixture over polenta.

Moving along, I thought I'd  share some wonderful words that I stumbled across last week. This weekend, I thought a lot about how being the victim of judgement  is completely unavoidable. Whether you call it judgement or not, we are constantly forming opinions of those around us. At the same time, those individuals  are developing their own thoughts and ideas about us. While the word judgement has a negative connotation, the fact that people judge and criticize is part of human nature in my opinion. With that said, no matter WHAT you do or how you act, someone somewhere will find a way to criticize. With that said, I have thought a lot about the importance of doing what YOU feel is right; whether that means helping someone, leaving a party early, or asking for help. People are always going to have their opinions. It's unavoidable, so do what makes YOU happy. As a friend once said to me:
