Day Dreaming

Dreaming of Here . .

Happy Monday All!

What a Difference a Day Makes

Finally! A dream has come true for the Gold family. We have stepped it up in the world, and invested in a king size bedroom suit . . FINALLY! This is a really big deal for us :)

But, the transition of bedrooms did not go super smooth.

These photos are dark because I took them on my phone. Anyway, I was assisting Jase in holding the mirror that was attached to the dresser. As he was unscrewing a screw, something happened that he let go of the screw driver which subsequently flew out of his hand and hit me in the mouth as well as this spot on my arm. I may or may not have cried alittle. It was worse than it looks :)

Looking closely, you can see that Jason is missing a sock. Not even 5 minutes after the screw driver escapade, as we were moving said dresser, I did not realize we were breaking for a minute. The end result was the corner lifting up Jason's toenail. Gross I know. It didn't rip it off or anything, though you would have thought that by his reaction. Then again, he didn't cry like others of us.

Moving on . .

Our bedroom looks alot different empty. The plan was to move our old bedroom suit to the guest bedroom. Last weekend, we got rid if the Jason's old bed from college that had been in guest bedroom, so all we had to do was get the bed, dresser and night stand moved from the master bedroom.

Easier said than done. What a mess! And, I had to leave things undone like this Friday night until our new stuff came on Saturday.

Thankfully, the delivery men came early :)

Again, these pics are coming off my phone and they are horrible!

Guest Bedroom-

So, all is well and put back together in the Gold house tonight.

My view isn't bad either-

;) Night Night.

Simple is as Simple Does

Last night I began to spread my exploratory cooking wings, if you will. I can cook, when I choose to. Lately, it seems like Jason and I are on 2 different schedules, so cooking has been tough. But, hopefully we are getting to the other side of such a busy season. Last week we ate no evening meals together!! Had to change it up this week!!! :)

A couple of things to note-

1. I have been very much in tune to the royal wedding, as I am sure has most of the free world, these past weeks. I was looking online at some old pictures of Kate and commented to my soon to be sis in law how much more toned she looks now versus a year ago. She shared with me the diet Kate was on (website here ) and just some general info about it. Of course I had to try :)

2. After research and careful consideration, I decided to kind of personalize the diet with a more reachable expectation of myself- plus I had to get Jase on board, and he wasn't following Kate's diet.

3. We are eating healthy, not buying junk (makes grocery shopping a breeze) and exercising in hopes of having more energy and looking more toned up!! Bathing suit season is upon us!

Back to last night's dinner . .

I found this recipe which ended up being GREAT! I even took some pictures of the meal in progress, which I am most impressed with myself about!

Spices, Olive Oil and White Wine . . EASY!!!

Gross. I HATE raw chicken and handling it. I washed my hands so many times they were literally bleeding last night around my knuckles.

Throw in alittle roasted squash and zucchini and YUMM O!

It was easy and delicious- a great combo!

Tonight's Menu- steaks, grilled veggies and roasted sweet potato fries. I realize the fries are not good at all, but better than a loaded baked potato, right?!

Incase you haven't noticed, I do things in small steps :)
