Wine and Quinoa

Hola,
Yes... everyone this post was named after two food items. I resolved to do more "adult" type things since I was starting to quote cartoons in a lot of my conversations. So here I was on a Sunday night wondering where I was in my quest for balance between home, life, school, and own personal endeavours. As I was thinking about this I realized that I had cooked the boys baked Tilapia with white quinoa and well.. that was a great start to our journey into healthier eating; so I gave myself a figurative gold star for the week. Seeing how when we were younger we would get rewards for tasks well done, I remembered that I had a bottle of sparkling pink wine (yes .. pink) in my fridge, and I asked myself: "When was the last time I had a glass of wine?"

Well, here I am writing to you and excited that I learned how to paint my nails in funky new ways this weekend, I am drinking a fabulous glass of chilled wine, and about to begin my homework for my second semester of grad school: LIFE IS GOOD.

This week I will try to do something fun and grown up (and girly ... since I am in a house with all boys). What about you, have you taken the time to do something you enjoy? If not, this is the perfect week to start! ;)

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
