A Breakfast Date (Followed by a Sugar Coma)


I had some lofty goals for today. I wasn't planning to be especially productive, but since I was cooped up most of last week due to sickliness, I wanted to get out of the house and do something adventurous. I decided Matt and I should have a brunch date because we hadn't done that in a while and brunch is our favorite. 

Sadly, neither of us slept well at all last night. In retrospect, I should never have taken a nap at 6:00 p.m. because I paid for it later with insomnia. I woke up slightly frantic this morning, thinking that I'd overslept (even though there was nothing for me to sleep through). It was only 8:30 and even though I knew I had major plans to be adventurous, I was in no mood to engage in activities other than couch-sitting and blog-reading. So that's what I did until about 10:30 or whenever it was that Matt got up. 

But, even in our haze of grogginess, we decided to embrace our semi-adventurous sides. We headed out into the 14 degree weather and went to a local (less adventurous but still delicious) spot where we chowed down on cinnamon rolls and a chocolate croissant. A sugar high ensued, from which I managed to muster up the energy to deep clean our kitchen and living room (hooray!). I slipped into a sugar coma by about 3:00 p.m.

I hope you had a great, adventurous weekend, whatever you did!

{I'm still pretty groggy so I'm just hoping this was coherent.}

  2. Oh gosh, well at least you got the energy you needed to get some cleaning done and be productive. I probably would have just passed out, ha

    1. I know! Luckily I get pretty impulsive during sugar highs, so I just went with it ;)

  3. darling post my dear. i know all about taking ill-thoughtout naps that sort of throw off the entire plans for the day, haha. and honestly sometimes just sitting all day on the sofa looking through blogs is super enjoyable - i mean i can tell you that i do it all the time. you shouldn't feel guilty for it :3 glad you were able to get out of the house for a bit though - it sounds like you and matt had a great afternoon and i would give anything right now for a real cinnamon bun dripping with icing - hmm seems like i might just have to get into the kitching sometime soon and attempt making them from scratch. cute photos and bangs really suit you!
