Make it Marvelous

by Amanda on February 18, 2013

Happy Monday! It’s the day before my birthday! I don’t have any crazy plans or anything just because I’m far too lazy to actually plan something. So if anybody wants to get on the bandwagon, you just let me know! You’re welcome to come to Philly and play on a Tuesday.

MiMM

I’ve never participated in Marvelous in My Monday before (thanks Katie!), but today I think I’m going to try. Try to bring a little bright spot into my blog without any whining this morning. You know.

Marvelous is…having parents and a sister that drive down to Philadelphia to take you out for your birthday dinner. We went to Buddakan and had such a great time. Definitely a birthday treat!

BuddakanThats pure class, my friends.

Marvelous is…getting my yoga in this morning. Enough said.

Marvelous is…getting an e-mail this morning that my credit card was billed for the Broad Street Run, even though technically we aren’t supposed to know anything about getting in the lottery until tomorrow morning. Trying not to get excited, but I’m excited.

Marvelous is…only spending $18 at Reading Terminal Market yesterday on fruit and veggies. Because you know I love my student discount Sundays.

Marvelous is…not having to think about dinners at all this week. (If you’re interested in some recipes, I’m trying this, this, and this!)

Marvelous is…LIFTING WEIGHTS. I’m getting into the gym today to do some weight stuff. Haven’t found a routine yet, but I’m going to spend five minutes scouring to see if anything strikes my fancy this morning.

Marvelous is…reading.

Marvelous is…being done with my quizzes and exams for the day at 11am. Please, ignore the paper that I have to write before Wednesday because that will CRAMP on my marvelous style, man.

Have a great day!

What eats are you looking forward to this week?

What’s marvelous about YOUR Monday?

I wish I got off today! The presidents decided to skip over Temple University. Haha. I hope you had a great one!

Aw what a fun birthday celebration with family! I was supposed to do broad street run but decided to forgo it this year because it’s during finals week :( Now I wish I had made a bad decision and done it so I could have run with you!!

That it is! I’m definitely less excited than I usually am for it, but I think I can blame that on the dang weather.

My goodreads challenge that isn’t going anywhere you mean? Haha. I’m looking for some really great new reads to suck me in. Weight lifting HURTS and I love it. I’d be interested in taking a class to see how far it could push me!

Happy early birthday! Something marvelous for me is that I’m almost done with my work day! Another half hour and I’m out of here to grocery shop and hit the gym :)
