yay!

i'm just feeling really great right now.

:)

this morning i had to get up a little early--okay, so 9 am is probably not really "early" but it is since i've been on vacation being a lazy daisy for the past two and a half weeks.

i had a doctors appt, just a little checkup this time.

all was well!

afterwards, i went to work and got my check.

i'm really happy with it, because i only have to take $10 out of the bank to meet my car payment.

and then, i just have plenty of dees leftover, since i've already paid my other bills this month.

that's such a good feeling--being on top of things!

i went to the gym and walked a mile and did five miles on the bike.

i'm not really hardcore with it or anything, ha.

i'm just trying to ease myself into things, because i don't want to get burnt out on it.

so far, i just love it and how it makes me feel.

last night, josh and i made dinner again.

we were doing two different things at once, and at first it was really stressing me out.

i accidentally let a pot boil over and i melted part of the cutting board.

but, everything was fine in the end. thank goodness.

he made himself taco burgers, which is a sloppy joe with taco seasoning.

and fritos with cheese on top.

i decided to take on danielle's (from Sometimes Sweet) recipe she shared the other day, but with my own twist on it.

i did everything the same as she did, but instead of eggplant used squash and zucchini.

and i also had a spinach, tomato, and avocado side salad with balsamic vinegariette.

it looked really pretty.

i wanted to take a picture, but i didn't have my camera on me.

i definitely want to start cooking like this more often.

what's your favorite recipe?
