Good morning to you! I hope you were able to enjoy a fun weekend with some relaxation thrown in as well.
Our weekend was filled with lots of time outside!
Sadie was in frisbee heaven!
We also found a used washing machine to replace our old washer that kicked the bucket back in December. I never blogged about it, but our washing machine completely overflowed one day into our kitchen and living room. We thought we fixed it when, a couple weeks later, it caught on fire when Ryan was home doing a load of laundry. Two strikes and you’re out!
On Saturday we found a replacement on craigslist and so far it seems to be working quite well. We had a month’s worth of laundry built up to tackle yesterday, so I posted up in front of the TV to sort through my clothes while watching the Golden Globes.
I don’t usually care about award shows at all, but I think Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are hilarious, so I was curious to see how they would do as hosts of the show.

I thought they killed it with their opening monologue! I only tuned in for about an hour before calling it quits, but Tina and Amy cracked me up! I also loved Adele’s acceptance speech.
As for the beautiful dresses? I thought there were quite a lot of gorgeous gowns last night, but my two favorites of the evening included Jessica Alba’s coral dress and Kerry Washington’s champagne dress.
The coral color of Jessica’s dress looked fantastic on her and I thought Kerry’s dress was different and absolutely stunning.
Workout
This morning I was up nice and early for a workout. It’s week two of Best Body Boot Camp! The workouts are the same as last week’s workouts, though the tempo of the exercises changed slightly.
Today’s circuit wasn’t crazy hard, but it still had me sweating!
Breakfast
When I walked through the door after my workout, I grabbed a banana and ate it as I prepped breakfast.
Scrambled eggs + Chicken sausage + Spinach
Yum!
Questions of the Morning
- Do you enjoy award shows?
- Did you watch the Golden Globes last night? Did you think Tina and Amy did a good job as hosts? Did any dresses stand out to you?
I never really care too much about award shows, but I was excited to see Tina and Amy last night and thought they were hilarious!

I completely agree with you! Absolutely loved Jessica Alba and Kerry Washingtons choices for dresses! I really like Kate Hudsons, too.
I love logging on to your blog to see what yummy concoction you have come up with! I just HAVE to make those scrambled eggs! Do you wilt the spinach before you put it in the eggs or just throw them in at the same time? I SO can’t wait to have some!
I’m not too into awards shows usually either but I watch some of the red carpet and the beginning of the show. I loved Tina and Amy as well – so hilarious! My favorite dresses were Jessica Alba’s like you showed and I also really liked Jennifer Garners.
Oh my gosh Jessica Albas dress is gorgeous! I too, love Amy and Tina. They have a great article in Entertainment Weekly that kept me giggling this weekend. Your food looks great as always! I really need to get myself some chicken sausage! Mmm!
I love award shows! The people, the fashion, the music…Last night did not disappoint – sooo happy for Daniel Day Lewis and Ben Affleck!!
I don’t usually have the patience to watch award shows either, but now I’m wishing I tuned in last night! Everyone has such raving reviews!

I didn’t watch the awards shows but I’m currently in California and drove past the red carpet at The Beverly Hills Hilton. It was cool to see!
Tina and Amy were definitely two of the major highlights of the awards show. It just would not have been the same without them!
Ahhhhh I missed the awards show! I always love checking out their dresses. Jessica Alba looked gorgeous!
I always love finding out who wins, but I don’t normally watch the shows. The academy awards are the only ones I’d actually sit down & WATCH. Ya know? But I do love seeing the dresses!
Omg Sadie is such a little ham! She never fails to crack me up or to remind me of my own Vizsla.. Love her!!
Jessica Albas dress is SO gorgeous!
Here’s a recap of their funniest bits — I love those ladies so much! http://www.vulture.com/2013/01/best-of-fey-and-poehler-at-the-golden-globes.html
The intro that Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell did was awesome too. I don’t really care who wins (allthough Ben Affleck was pretty damn adorable giving his speech), but I love watching for some reason.
Hey Julie! My name is Elena Hicks. I subscribed to your blog a few months after I started my own . I was hoping you could check it out and if you like it, promote it on PBF. It would mean the world to me! I was also wondering how you’re paid for blogging when PBF isn’t connected to any specific business or company. I would love to be able to review clothing and other products from health and fitness companies. What connections do I need? How do I get there? Forgive me, I’m just a 15 year old Iowan! I would love to hear from you. Email me at eloves2run@hotmail.com and visit my blog at http://elenahicks21.blogspot.com/ Thanks for your time!!!!
I thought the opener for the awards show was REALLY funny! They did such a good job! Considering I never watch awards shows because they bore the pants off me, they kept me entertained!
“We’re over there pissin’ ourselves” Gotta love Adele.
Also, Jessica Alba’s dress was my favorite from the night. I love the coral color! I thought Tyna Fey’s dress fit her really well, too, and the color complimented her skin tone!
I DVR’d the show, but haven’t watched it yet. I did read on some internet news about Jodi Foster’s strange speech. Btw, I’m currently reading Bossypants by Tina Fey.
Damn. I thought this was a post dedicated to moi. I was all like “Who’s Amy? I guess I can roll with Julie loving her and me.” 😉
I go back and forth on watching awards shows or not. I ended up watching the Golden Globes last night and I agree, Amy and Tina were funny. I liked Jessica’s dress and also Stacy Keibler. There were more that I didn’t like, than did. I wasn’t thrilled with most of them. 🙁
By the way, I can’t believe your washing machine caught on fire! That is so scary…good thing you were home!!!
I watched the first hour or so last night solely because Tina and Amy were the hosts–they cracked me up! I thought Jennifer Lawrence and Claire Danes looked absolutely stunning!
I thought they were hilarious too! I loved seeing the beautiful dresses and fashion.
I thought that Tina and Amy did a great job as well. Fun fact: Amy Poehler’s dad works for my landlord and actually showed me the apartment I’m living in! He says he does it because he wants to reach people my age to tell them about his daughter 🙂
So, I’m late jumping on the band wagon here…but chicken sausage, scrambled eggs, and spinach is such a great combination! I never would have done it if it weren’t for your posts! thanks for the idea!
