So today is a new week, as I take a deep breathe. I've posted recently about how I've been in a funk. Well, I can't seem to shake it, but I'm ready to work hard this week and get things done/moving/happening in my life. As long as I can fight off this sinus thing?/allergies?/cold? that I feel coming on. I'm downing some tea with ACV and taking echinacea like it's my job so hopefully that helps. Here are some of the mostly marvelous things that happened this past weekend!
Marvelous is checking out the Baltimore Book Festival this weekend. I love used books and street festivals-the weather was fantastic this year!
Marvelous is getting some miles on my new sneakers which are now sitting in the box until the marathon (in 11 days!!!).
Marvelous is getting some fancy drinks out on a Saturday night.
Marvelous is finally trying out the Afghan restaurant The Helmand in my neighborhood and having an amazing meal. I got a chicken dish with lots of veggies in a spicy tomato sauce and split their famous afghan ice cream for dessert. It was a cardamom ice cream with fig, date and mango pieces. It was amazing, and I'll definitely be back!
Not so marvelous is slacking on some much-needed studying for my medical terminology test which I need to take this week.
Marvelous is Breaking Bad series finale last night. I thought the commercial breaks after every scene really took me out of it, but they definitely tied up the series nicely.
Marvelous is spending Sunday afternoon with a pumpkin beer, burger, and football (even though both the Eagles and Ravens played horribly, ugh).
The most marvelous of all is going to my first expo-Natural Products Expo East, which was right downtown, and pretending I'm a real big-time blogger who networks and passes out business cards to companies that I'd like to work with. Let's be honest, the most marvelous thing about it was the three big bags of swag I picked up. My thoughts and reviews on the expo and the awesome products I tried will get it's own post :)

How was your weekend?
Fancy drinks are always marvelous ;) I had a fancy pumpkin pie shot Friday!
ReplyDeleteHope you get out of this funk girl! #livehappy <3
Ooh pumpkin pie shots should awesome! I'm trying to get out of it :)
Deleteso jealous you got to go to the expo, what a blast!
ReplyDeleteI almost forgot about MIMM!!! Happy Monday girl and I am so jealous of the natural products expo. Sounds like heaven!
ReplyDeleteIt was amazing :)
DeleteFunks stink. Seriously, I have been in one on and off for the whole semester. Let's knock them out by hanging out and doing fun things! Also, I think serious training (like for your marathon) have a tendency to exhaust us mentally and physically which can also lead to those feelings. I'm glad you at least had somewhat of a good weekend!! I can't believe the marathon is so soon!
ReplyDeleteI don't feel like marathon training has been crazy exhausting but when I think about it that probably contributes-especially now that I'm freaking out about race day!
Deletehooooray swag :)
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty much the best :)
DeleteWow that's a lot of goodies!!! :) I love going to expos! :)
ReplyDeleteIt was my first expo but certainly won't be my last!
Deletewow, that weekend sounds super marvelous! what is in that fancy drink? and pumpkin beer + burger sounds so relaxing and VERY sunday fall afternoon! expos are the best. can't wait to hear about it!
ReplyDeleteIt was one of their competition winning cocktails that had whiskey, sherry,
DeleteLillet Blanc, and orange bitters in it. Yum!
