This weekend I drove 700 miles to drop my beau off at his summer-long internship.
This weekend I cried.
This weekend I ate a lot and cooked very little.
This weekend I
indulged in: cheap deep-fried Chinese food, an Oreo milkshake, a bagel
smothered in peanut butter and honey, beer, key lime strawberry pie,
chocolate chip cookies, red wine, and blueberry pancakes.
This weekend I didn't do a single second of formal exercise.
This weekend ended, I returned to a quiet house, drank two more glasses of wine, and made myself the best dinner I could think of to make myself feel whole again: a warm spinach and broccoli salad and grilled salmon paprika.
Key lime strawberry pie?! What an interesting combo, I dont think i have ever seen that before! It sure sounds like your weekend had some great food, I love salmon! :)
ReplyDeleteit was great! one of my dear friends made this pie for us and it was really light and refreshing.
DeleteAwwww =( Long-distance is so hard even when it's temporary!! Hang in there! You'll appreciate each other so much more come the fall =)
ReplyDeletethanks, sable!
DeleteHope you're feeling better today! New week, new start! I have been in long distance relationships myself and they are really difficult, but just focus on all the time you'll have for yourself and friends! It will get easier, promise :)
ReplyDeletei am feeling better. and yes - i just have to remember that now i have more time for other things. i will be just fine - i'm sure. :)
DeleteAwww, rough day! Sorry to hear that the time for the internship rolled around so quickly. You two are going to make it work though...and fall is going to be absolute bliss once he's finished!
ReplyDeleteit did come around more quickly than i thought, huh?
DeleteThese pictures seriously make me drool! Yum!
ReplyDeleteSounds like this weekend had lots going on.
ReplyDeleteI feel for you, Sara. It will be hard, but you have a light at the end of the tunnel! Will you be able to visit each other over the summer?
ReplyDeletewe have a few visits back and forth scheduled so i will see him. it will just be really really different going from seeing him all the time to hardly at all. skype?

ReplyDeletesounds like an awesome weekend!! (except for the dropping off your beau part) But you food looks delicious :)
ReplyDeleteOh how I love broccoli :)
ReplyDeleteLong distances relationships are terrible. I've been there. I think grilled salmon is an excellent way to end it. It looks wonderful :)
ReplyDeletehaha. grilled salmond (and wine and chocolate) cure all my woes.
DeleteThanks for the inspiration. I think I'll be making that Salmon this week. Keep busy and the summer will fly by before you know it!
ReplyDeleteAawww I'm sorry! I wish I lived closer so we could share a tub of ice cream and a bottle of wine together :). Hopefully it'll fly by! x
ReplyDeletei SO wish we could do that too!
DeleteAww, I'm sorry he's so far away for the summer. But know he'll come back eventually :)
ReplyDeleteOreo milkshake must have softened the blow just a little bit...;)
ha! you know an oreo milkshake definitely softened that blow. ;)
DeleteWell my dear, that sounds like pretty much the greatest weekend ever.
ReplyDelete:( It's okay to cry. I have to tell myself that all the time. I have this weird notion that crying=weak. But, sometimes we just have to let it go. I definitely almost cried at graduation last week and have since.
ReplyDeleteIf you need anyone to hang out with this summer, I am around!! ;)
I am ready for classes to start back next week because I am being sooooooo lazy and I hate it.
Your salad looks yummy, by the way!
