ESFJ and a weekend recap

Remember that super cool family I introduced you to last week? Well the whole crew came into town to visit and celebrate and have a good time. My sister and her family are missionaries in Germany so we rarely get the opportunity for all of us to get together. It's one of my favorite things to  have our whole family together again.






 We baked cakes for all the Sept birthdays in our family (three total.. me, dad and my cousin Moriah)


   
biked around Lake Crabtree and such



we played


the whole famn damily

and lots of cuteness....

Day five of Blogtember: Take this short personality test and respond to your results.

 Now for my personality.  I'm the ol' ESFJ today.  As with anything, I agree with parts and disagree with others. I've taken these tests before but I couldn't tell you if it's the same as before. Memory isn't my thing. Nor is saving anything. I know I'm extroverted but the older I get, I feel a little introvertedness creeping in. I crave alone time now. Whereas 5 years ago, that sounded like the worst idea ever.   Actually the last time I took this it told me I was introverted by 1%. Who knows what I'll be tomorrow.

bottoms up!

Today is the last day of super strict detoxing. Three-ish weeks is over and done with!

We decided to stop at lunchtime today so that we could celebrate over the weekend. Duh - you can't achieve something and not properly celebrate with a glass of bubbly and delicious treats!

So, tonight is the night!

Bottoms up {or perhaps, plates up is more appropriate}

The plan is to start with a dinner out {and a drink or two or three}

followed by a movie {which inevitably includes the most obscene size of popcorn available}

and end with the biggest, chocolate-e-ess dessert we can find.

{bring on the toxins, grease and sugar!}

YUM!

that's the plan. i've been warned we may wind up overdosed and passed out after the first course.

Oh, and don't forget we've got the entire weekend to celebrate.

Saturday calls for bringing out the big-daddy coffee press and crepes filled with all treats imaginable. I haven't thought past that course.. I'm sure at that point, I'll be craving a big heap of veggies.

...

here's to starting the night with

one of my fav cocktails: the fargarita

combine in shaker:

one shot of  1800 tequila 100% agave

juice of one lime

Diet Sierra Mist (or you can do soda water)

ice

.shake what yo momma gave ya.

.pour over ice.

.drink with style.

 {I should prob come up with a better name for a fake margarita, huh? suggestions?}

...

Despite my excitement to break all the rules from the past three weeks,

we do plan on sticking with what we've learned and eating 'clean' the majority of the time

{i.e., healthier portions; better snacks; less added sugar, dairy, gluten, caffeine; and more variety}.  

I think we will do just fine {as long as we can control that sweet tooth}.

p.s. i swear our life does not completely revolve around food. we do have other hobbies aside from eating.
