happiness came in a box over the weekend, but monday came and ruined it all (ok. not really. monday, you aren't so bad).

well hello! hope you had a wonderful weekend. 

it rained for the most part where we are, but the sun came out on sunday so of course we decided to spend it indoors and just relax {we were actually a bit too sore to go out. read on to find out why}. i did get around to watching a few episodes of x-files, season 9, but i missed mulder so much that i ended up watching it from season 1. it's a great show, so despite the fact that some special effects were super cheesy, it was fun {and scary!} to watch.

yangkyu and i also decided to follow along to shaun t's alpha cardio instead of going to the gym, and i tell ya... i have never cursed so much while working out. but the workout is actually strangely addicting, even though those lunges he makes you do are a killer. my arms and thighs are burning. good news though -- on sunday, we completed 14 days of working out so we did a little high five and happy dance to celebrate that benchmark.

it's a new week! hope your weekly goals are set, your coffees brewed and tasks lists ready to be crossed off! have a wonderful 5 weekdays ahead!

some images from our weekend: 

 ^^ remember this gallery wall i started last year? well.. it's still in the works. i am actually taking my time to finish it as i collect prints and photos that i want to frame in this space. and i'm not really sure with what's going on with the shape but i figure it'll turn out looking somewhat normal in the end. so far our prints are from albie designs and rifle paper co. the lamb print is actually a postcard we picked up at epcot when we visited a couple of years ago.

 ^^ stickygrams galore. i remember getting our first batch in september 2011. back then though i was into the whole cropping instagram images using squareready so our earlier stickygrams look a little funny. but i'm continuing to add to my collection, which now are back to the full square images. i actually just ordered a batch a few days ago and can't wait to get them in the mail.  

 ^^ i don't care if you're from a box. you're delicious! trader joe's coffee cake mix was the highlight of our happiness this weekend. so good. 

^^ our cactus featured on the first floral friday series saw its first bloom! 

^^ i picked up some fallen branches during our morning walk with piri and gave them a new home. i love this look. only at night when the lights were out, the branches almost "gouged my eyes out" according to yangkyu. i think he's being a little dramatic. ok, maybe the branches are slightly a bit long.

^^ this guy ate one too many apples over the weekend.
