Have a lovely weekend

Doesn't Aubrey look so gorgeous and classic? Makes me wish I lived in an area I could bike more...

This is the first weekend in weeks that I'm not doing anything too exciting. My fiance and I are on a very, very tight budget...especially with rent due next week. I know that we will definitely be sleeping in. (Even on my vacation I woke up at 6:30 so I could spend time with my fiance before he went to work.) Tomorrow morning in laundry. Other than that we have nothing planned. At the moment we are watching a Michael Jackson Marathon on Fuse and soon heading out to Barnes n Noble to relax with some coffee business books and actually drink coffee. BTW, this book is amazing.

Take care <3

Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.

I was honestly uninspired to write anything today. I'm a day away from my week vacation from work (taking off Thursday-Wednesday) and I've been taking care of my sick fiance. It wasn't until watching Modern Marvels on the history channel that made me decide to quickly write about the book I am reading. The book is In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan.

The episode of Modern Marvels, Fast Food Tech. The entire time I was completely grossed out by how the burgers look pre-cooked, the handling of the food behind the scenes, the look of the sauces being squeezed onto burgers. Yuck!

During my lunch break I went to grab a tea and yogurt. One co-worker (who was sipping on a soda from Burger King) said to me "that's why you are so small, you can actually eat healthy!" I just mentioned the book I was reading and made her think about this..."Look at a carrot under a microscope and it would still look good enough to eat. Then look at a burger from McDonald's under a microscope." She then gave this nasty look. My response "Exactly." I want to get a copy of the episode I just watched on Modern Marvels, maybe even grab a copy of Super Size Me and play them for my co-workers that depend on the local fast food restaurants or a quick lunch.

Seriously read the book above though. It's amazing and will make you think about what you're putting in your belly.
