The day I became invisible.

by Jen, a priorfatgirl on February 17, 2013

This weekend went way too fast, as most of them do.

I got home Friday absolutely exhausted after a long week at work. I’m in charge of the annual week-long fundraising for JDRF and have people help me but it takes up a majority of my regular work week. We hit our goal just as I was shutting down on Friday at about 5pm so thankfully, now we can just coast for the next week until the Walk for the Cure at the Mall of America. {anyone else doing the walk on Feb 23rd?}

I met a friend, Mandy, at Good Earth at 8:30am on Saturday. I got the breakfast quesadilla.

When he walked into the living room, he noticed my Nook on the couch and asked if he couple play Angry Birds. I told him I didn’t have that on my Nook but he kept asking. Over and over and over.

So I downloaded it..Before I knew it, he was showing Carlos how to play! Eventually, Carlos downloaded Angry Birds on his tablet and then… I became invisible.

Colton left after a couple hours and then, I may have played Angry Birds for the next FOUR HOURS! {Okay, there were a few breaks in there to eat, go to the bathroom, and come up for air.} I think I’m just going to have to uninstall that dumb game because I can’t stop playing.

I did manage to pull myself away from Angry Birds to clean up the kitchen, sweep, clean a bathroom, and dust. In case you didn’t know, I often talk to my mom but when I dust, I always say hi to her :)

Her ashes were split up between me, my sisters, and my dad. I love it. Whenever I walk into the living room, I instantly feel warm and wrapped up in love; like she is there hugging me.

Carlos and I watched Skyfall and then, as I curled up in bed, I downloaded a new book to read. I feel like I’ve been reading so many books and never know what will be good so this time, decided to read a classic book: Scarlet Letter.

Sunday morning, I got in a really good workout – 2 mile run, 20 minutes elliptical + 25 minutes weights. By the time I got home, I had gone from hungry to HUNGRYANDMAD. I was so hungry, I was mad at the air! I had a fairly good dinner Saturday night (5pm-ish), but by the time I woke up, worked out and showered, it was 11:00am and the world was ending.

Carlos scooped me up and we went to a neighborhood cafe. We ordered a pancake to share (he eats the edges/outside ring + I eat the center of the pancake) and then, I got 3 eggs & some turkey sausage.

eggs and sausage

I am the cheapest breakfast date ever! $2.50 for the sausage and $3.00 for the eggs. We did some grocery shopping and then spent the rest of the day at home.

Now, it’s back to work. As the world turns, huh?!

Lol, what a cute post. I suck at Angry Birds…my 6 year old has it on all of our phones…and all of the tablets….and even for all the dang gaming systems. Aaand I think the outside ring is the best!!!! I haven’t eaten a pancake in forever…but I really want one now!!

We call it hangry at my house too! Always have to make sure when you’re about to bring up an issue with the Significant other, is this a real issue, or am I just hungry??
