taco thursday

Hello everyone! It's been a pretty good week so far.

I did end up sailing later on Tuesday and it was pretty good conditions. The first couple of races were light wind and the middle race the wind picked up and the last race was lighter again. We did well. Afterwards Elena and I went to dinner. It was a good day!

Wednesday morning I tried to go for a run but I only made it a little over 4 miles before I decided that I probably wouldn't make it home. Luckily my mom was willing to pick me up and we got a little breakfast and then headed home. It was really hot!

I really didn't do anything else on Wednesday besides go to the grocery store and get a couple of things so that I could make dinner. I made stuffed peppers! The same kind that I'd made once before but they were super yummy the second time around. Here's the recipe I used: https://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/enchilada-chicken-quinoa-stuffed-bell-peppers/ I really didn't change the recipe at all except I only had three bell peppers instead of four. Instead of throwing away the leftover filling my mom cooked it and we saved it so that we could make tacos another time.

After dinner we just hung out and I convinced her to start watching Parks and Rec! So far she really likes it, we watched it again tonight. I love that show and I really enjoyed it the first time around, it's just as funny this time.

Today I had my first haircut in two years. My cousin Cassidy is a hairdresser, she actually cut my hair before plebe year so naturally I trusted her to give me a trim. It didn't take long at all, she literally took off the split ends, blow dried my hair and I was done! Right before my haircut I also learned that I didn't have class today so today was a good day.

I tanned after my haircut and started reading a new book. It's called Girl, Wash Your Face, it's been an easy read so far and I really like it. Eventually I'll update my "book of the month" to this one. I just did her 5-day devotional with my mom and I just happened upon her book in Target and I couldn't pass it up. She has a few more books that I think I'll probably read afterwards.

Then I met my friend Claire and we got our coffees and went on a walk! She's one of my best friends and it's always good to walk and talk with her. However, it was really hot because we chose to walk at definitely the hottest part of the day. We hung out for awhile and then I went home to help my mom with dinner.

We had tacos! We used the leftover filling from yesterday's peppers and some corn tortillas and they were tasty. I would definitely recommend making these peppers and saving the filling. I just added some guac and salsa and mmm, they were very good.

We watched some more Parks and Rec and now I'm blogging! I think I'm going to run tomorrow but it might rain so we'll see!
