I was going to write, but I went out for Korean BBQ with friends:
I was going to write, but I spent Saturday at the gym:

I was going to write, but life happened.

It was a marvelous weekend. Β Check out Katie’s blog for more marvelous!
What was the highlight of your weekend?
When was the last time you shirked responsibility in favor of life?
Debbie @ Live from La Quinta says
Ha! I could pretty much have started my post the same way. Big plans but life happened. Good for us! Life is so much more important than a blog post.
Laura says
I needed to hear that today. Thanks, friend. π
Kristina says
LOVE. IT.
I did the same thing this weekend – had all kinds of kitchen ideas and things to work on, I played instead. ALL weekend.
highlight? seeing a dear friend after WAY too long. and mimosas for brunch.
HAPPY WEEK!
Laura says
Good for you! Mimosas are always a good idea.
Lucie@FitSwissChick says
Love it!!! Good you enjoyed life and the weekend!
I can not even count how many times i shift my duties in favor of pleasure. It happens daily. Laundry staring at me everywhere – know this?
YOLO.
Angela @ Happy Fit Mama says
Life can’t wait. Writing can!
Kim @ FITsique says
Looks like an incredible weekend! I spent most of it working at a new part time job, but I am very thankful for that too! Have a great week π
Laura says
Congrats on the new gig!
Amanda @runtothefinish says
I’m glad life happened π
Carla says
ALL
THE
TIME
WITH
MY CHILD!!
Tara @ Sweat like a Pig says
This is how I feel all the time. Hence, twice weekly blog posts haha
Linz @ Itz Linz says
gotta love when life happens! π π
Laura @ Mommy Run Fast says
Love it! I could’ve written the same thing this weekend, but somehow forced myself to sit and write last night. Glad you made the most of your weekend!
Maureen says
These are the BEST types of weekends!
Kimmi says
Loves it !
Krista @ Tiny n Fit says
Love this! Just learn to enjoy life when it happens! Such a great weekend!
Laura says
Thank you! I don’t know why that’s so hard at times!
Tina Muir says
Yes! I think that is a good thing! Sometimes we feel like we “need” to write posts regularly, and I find myself panicking that I have not got anything for people to read….but its more important to live life! Very effective post! Glad you had a wonderful weekend π
Laura says
Same here! I continually have to remind myself that this isn’t a paying job. π
Meghan@CleanEatsFastFeets says
Don’t worry; I wrote enough for everybody today. Now I’m exhausted and off to play. Or really go to work, but once I come home, I’ll play.
Your weekend looks ideal. Way better than writing. π
Laura says
Come play down in GA!!!
Meghan@CleanEatsFastFeets says
I blew my travel allowance on Blend this year. It’s rough being a sugar mama with education expenses. Hell that was one of my reasons for going childless: to avoid tuition payments and look at how well that turned out. You could always come to Cleveland. You could bring a friend too.
Laura says
Careful what you wish for. Broccoli and I are going to show up at your door one day.
Meghan@CleanEatsFastFeets says
I’ve got two guest bedrooms. You could fight over who gets to sleep in the Alice in Wonderland room.
Brittany @ Delights and Delectables says
looks like so much fun! Life is more important!!
Jody - Fit at 56 says
LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was off social media most of the weekend with family in town – it was GREAT!!!! I was not going to write but post pics – I did that! π
Glad you had a wonderful time!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
Sounds like you had an incredible weekend! Yay!
Sam @ Better With Sprinkles says
Love this! Obviously, life takes priority π
ta says
where did you get that ‘thought she be but little…’ top?! i love it! i’m five-foot-nothing, so quite little x
Laura says
I ordered it on Etsy long ago.. I think it was from Fire Daughter? Cheers to the shorties! π
Heather (Where's the Beach) says
YES live instead of writing about it π
Susie says
I too had aspirations for the kitchen… and then we went out. Or lazed. Or just did otherwise. Mostly the gym and PT. But I also have the excuse of going out of town and not wanting to have things that might sit around, you know?
And I saw a “Sleeves=Holsters” meme, and actually thought of you!
Also, I am now out of jicama. Sad. Face.
Laura says
I’m about to do that this weekend – leaving for a week and there’s no way I’m going to add to my stash of food!
Alex @ therunwithin says
hey that is the kind of way to spend your weekend. no regrets there. I have always wanted to go to a korean bbq place.
Laura says
Come visit and I’ll take you! π
Megan (The Lyons' Share) says
I’m glad you let life happen!!! Your arms look amazing – you sure do need those holsters π
Laura says
Thank you!!! π
Whitney @ To Live & Diet in L.A. says
Holy moly, look at those guns!!!! You really need to get a shirt with that saying on it π
Laura says
If I see one, you better believe I’m buying it! Thank you!!!
Maria @ The Good Life says
Well, it sounds like it was more important and fun to live than write a post… and I love it! π
Christa @ Edible Balance says
ALWAYS a better ‘plan’ to let life happen!! Much more fun… looks like you had a great weekend! Mine was full of fun birthday shenanigans. Well, it was pretty low-key due to ridiculously COLD weather, but it was a good one nonetheless! I still need to try jicama nachos, they look so tasty and right up my alley!
Laura says
Birthday shenanigans are the best sort of shenanigans! Happy happy! xo
Lisa says
Sounds like my life story right about now;) Every time I’m about to blog I have something that pops up. But hey, that’s life and it’s better to live it than write about it.
I actually managed to write a post. It feels weird to be back blogging again after such a long break;)
On another note, I need those jicama nachos! Yum!
Kelly @ Cupcake Kelly's says
Love!
lindsay says
writing is overrated. Eating and playing is more fun!
Shashi @ http://runninsrilankan.com says
This is awesome! A picture is worth a thousand words and feelings! Glad you shirked on the post and invested it in some quality time! I did that yesterday too – thats why I had zilch today π
Laura says
It was too pretty outside to stay in and write, wasn’t it? Almost spring!
Debra says
Gotta love a great weekend goofing off!
Elena says
Love this- you need one of these days/weekends every now and then. I did work this weekend, but only because I was feeling very behind.
Laura says
That’s usually me… hope you get to play this weekend!
Hannah says
Although the details are different, this is why I’m blogging at a rate of about one per week right now. Life is simply so much more grand than mustering up the energy to write some words about it.
…except I still want everyone else to blog so that I have something to read over breakfast and dinner. Ha!
Laura says
Hahaha – I feel the same way! Come eat ice cream and slack on blogging with me!
Hannah says
Please please please buy that private jet so I can. xox
Nicole @ FruitnFitness says
Love it! Glad you enjoyed your weekend!!
Purelytwins says
glad you lived life! and enjoyed yourself, writing is overrated π
Kim says
Sounds like you had the best kind of weekend – much better to be living than writing!!
Laura @FitMamaLove says
Your arms are amazing! That’s all. π
Laura says
Thank you so much! <3
Gina @ Health, Love, and Chocolate says
I can’t find jicama anywhere anymore, wahh! Although they do have it at the WF salad bar…perhaps I should steal some? Sometimes life > blogging, but you managed to get a nice little post up anyways so win-win. π
Laura says
Awwww! I think it’s year round at my market. Whole Foods was out of sweet potato the other day…. how weird is that?
Heather @ Better With Veggies says
My favorite kind of weekend right here!!!!
Heather @ Kiss My Broccoli says
LOVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVE this!!
