china rich girlfriend Archives

This ended up being a true ‘Parita’ weekend. With Vishnu working on both Friday and Saturday, I had lots of time to get the ‘must do’ things out of the way – cleaning, laundry, etc. And in between all of the musts, I made time for one of my favorite activities…reading!

You guys! I finished both Crazy Rich Asians and its sequel China Rich Girlfriend. I went on reading frenzy! I’ll share more about these books later, but I highly recommend both. If you’re looking for funny, crazy, over-the-top books, Kevin Kwan’s novels are it.

Before sitting down to read on Saturday morning, I turned my living room into a pseudo barre studio and completed a 40 minute online Barre3 workout. I’m enjoying the different workouts so far and even bought the Barre ball (because a towel just doesn’t cut it!). More about Barre3 online coming soon!

Saturday also included a little bit of baking. I had a hankering for cookies that combined peanut butter and chocolate chips, so I tried my hand at making some…without a recipe. And they didn’t out half bad! I’m sure I’ll be making these again soon, and next time I’ll jot everything down and share!

While I waited for Vishnu to come home from work with our dinner, I watched UGA kick S. Carolina’s butt! And then when he got home, we continued watching the game while eating eggplant parm pizza. YUM!

On Sunday morning, I woke up, asked VIshnu what the temperature was (a cool (ha!) 79 degrees), and headed out for a run. Umm, my run turned into a run/walk and then just a walk. The heat was unbearable. By the time I got home 45 minutes later, it was 85 degrees. CENTRAL FLORIDA, PLEASE COOL DOWN ASAP!

After I got home and got ready, we headed out for our lunch date that Vishnu planned. He made reservations at a restaurant in Tampa called Green Lemon, a hipster Mexican place (Vishnu’s definition!). The atmosphere was very relaxed, fun, and colorful, and the food/drinks were delicious and very fresh.

We started with spicy Bloody Mary’s. YUM!

For my entrée, I ordered a veggie quesadilla, and for his, Vishnu’s ordered a trio of tacos. We both left fuller than expected but happy with our choices. Everything was flavorful and satisfying. Exactly what we were looking for!
