I got some good quality time in with my sister and hubby on Sunday. Things were low key, but fun. We spent the day together relaxing.
Here’s what we did today – Sunday morning, I got up and wanted to get my day started on the right foot, so I headed to the gym to get that checked off my list.

After church we hung around and talked to a few people and then we decided to eat out for lunch…my sister had a gift card, so we went to Olive Garden. I actually don’t like the Olive Garden anymore, but my sister does and I want to do things that will make her happy and make her trip fun. The food was pretty good. I had the

After lunch, we headed home and watched some football.
Later on, we decided to head over to Barnes & Noble to look at some books and magazines. We also had a delicious coffee too – I had a tall, sugar-free vanilla, soy latte ( 130 cal). We probably spent 3 hours there. I looked at a bunch of magazines and my sister read part of a book and then bought 3 from a new author she loves. She was so excited to find them…which made me happy. I want her to have a fun time here.
When we got home I fixed dinner – I had a pita sandwich(215 cal) + pretzel chips (75 cal)

After dinner, my sister and I made Muddy Buddies – she loves them and wanted to make some for her and to take to my aunt and uncle when she visits this week. They were delicious…I made some for myselft too.
