Saturday

Saturday was just one of those great days that you want to remember. Nothing too exciting happened. But I got to spend time with a lot of my favorite people, in my favorite places. Sometimes simple is good.

I woke up early and decided to make breakfast for B and his roommate. Call me old-fashioned, but I just love cooking for my man. It's true. I bought really good applewood smoked bacon and made them a manly breakfast of eggs, bacon, cinnamon rolls {not baked by me. let's not get crazy} and sliced strawberries. {i am still eating healthy - I've lost 23 pounds!- so I had one egg on a bagel thin and strawberries}. They were super appreciative.

And then my bff and I took advantage of the beautiful hot weather and lounged poolside. I have been missing my bff. As I have written about, he's gotten sober {60 days this past week, yeahhh!} and there have been lots of changes. We have a unique relationship. Almost 10 years of basically being family, in some way or the other. So it was important to me to have some time with him to catch up.

And then I baked. Well...healthy baked. 

These are chickpea chocolate chip cookie dough balls. Yes. Chickpea. They're vegan, gluten free, and low calorie. They're...interesting. But overall, two thumbs up for a healthy sweet treat and time in the kitchen {pretty much my favorite weekend activity}.

After baking, I headed to Huntington Beach to meet some coworkers {friends} for a bonfire. This is the second time this summer that we have done this and it's just really fun.

With my hair smelling like bonfire and sand on my feet, I then headed down Pacific Coast Highway to meet B. B has been working all summer {it feels like for.ev.er} doing lighting for a play in Laguna Beach. I'm happy for him - he makes a living doing what he absolutely loves - but he has shows 6 nights a week all summer long. Rawr. Anyways, we had a few cocktails and smooches and let's just say I love him lots and lots. No pics, because sometimes the iPhone just needs to have an early night.

Such a good day!
