Memorial Day Week/Weekend

I somehow managed to be off work from last Wednesday at 1:00pm until Today. I had nothing planned for the 5 day weekend. So I just relaxed and had fun!

I made a turkey and veggie wrap to enjoy by the pool.

 

Mimosas and books by the pool.

Chicken Fajita bowls for dinner.

Unfortunately, I got a little burnt. Not at all what I was going for!

Watched a few tutorials on using my camera. I have been using my SLR for awhile I just haven't taken the time to learn all the things I can do with it yet.

Found SPF 110 at Walmart.Didn't even know it went this high!

Received a $5 gift card from Starbucks in the mail encouraging me to reach the Gold Card status. Of course my Mom and I immediately went to Starbucks and spent it.

After Starbucks we went to Barnes and Noble where I had another gift card to thanks to one of my sweet friends. I bought these books.



Then I went home and added them to my to-read stack.



Gardening is becoming one of my new favorite hobbies. Gardening, as in pots on my patio garden.

Soon-to-be Chives

Soon-to-be Bachelor Buttons

My tomato seeds have actually grown lots!

So have my cayenne and jalapeno seeds!

Lots of painting was done (my other favorite thing to do)

Of course more laying by the pool.

I hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend and took some time to remember those who gave their lives for our freedom!

I am picky when it comes to fish. I received several free coupons as part of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program with Mrs. Paul’s and Van de Kamp’s for their Parchment Bake fillets. I was not sure if they would be good or not but I thought I would give them a try. So far I have only tried the Lemon Pepper Tilapia.



Mrs. Paul’s Parchment Bake Lemon Pepper Tilapia is good! I can’t wait to try the other flavors. The sauce was just right. There was no fishy taste. Each box comes with two fillets. I like that the fillets are wrapped separately so you can cook one at a time. Trey was in town so I cooked both:). He liked them too.

These opinions are my own! I would not share something with you all if I really didn’t like it!
