a serene state of mind.

one of the many highlights of my weekend were these babies. i went all out and ordered 2 earl greys, 2 cappuccinos, 2 caramels, 2 chocolates, and 2 coconuts (for z, cus i hate coconut-anything). interestingly enough, the earl greys tasted like fruity pebbles and brought back childhood memories. my favorite, though, had to be the chocolate - you just can't get between a girl and her chocolate.

we actually had a lot of good food this past weekend: flamed grilled chicken with stuffed poblano peppers, honey marinated chicken kabobs, good ol' pizza and wings, and of course frequent stops to yogurtland for dessert. my only regret is not having pictures to show you guys (but you can see the kabobs from a previous post here). we tried to balance out all the food intake by joining friends for a hike yesterday at Peter's Canyon. it was such a beautiful day for a hike and the view from up top was pretty amazing. i've been wanting to go hiking for about a year now, so i'm happy that z liked it enough to try and do it more often. if all goes well, expect more posts and pictures of trails and nature!

now the clocks get set back to the 9-5 grind. i have a test in both classes this week so it's going to be a tough one.. but you know what? i'm feeling kind of good. i don't know if it's because of the great weekend i just had, or if the universe is just smiling on me today but something in me says that nothing can stand in the way of me and my sense of serenity and it's a great feeling to have.

how's your state of mind this monday?
