Lazy Sunday

Today was such a relaxing day, I thought I'd share.  Because it was pretty awesome.  And I want to remember how peaceful a day can be (even at the Zike house).  Oh and to make you jealous.  =]

I woke up for church around 8:15 (after I had snoozed my alarm about 4 times - I promise I'm not usually that bad) and found an email saying church was cancelled due to the weather (it was snowy).  So, like any normal person, I yelled this information to Ben so he could hear me through his earplugs, then went back to sleep.  For 3 hours.  At least.

When we both finally woke up, I made pancakes.  Blueberry for Ben and chocolate chip for me.  Added Bonus: the dishes were done the night before by my beloved husband (rare instance, but I'll take what I can get), so I had a clean kitchen.

The day consisted mostly of a lot of laying around and being lazy.  I finally got around to making dinner (we sorta skipped lunch...) where I made Stuffed Bell Peppers.  *Flashback to my childhood, where I would pretty much beg my neighbors to have me over for dinner when they were having Stuffed Bell Peppers.  It was a favorite of mine, and Amal sure knew how to cook em!*

Anyway, before I started dinner, I decided to make chocolate chip cookies (it was a chocolate chip kind of day, apparently - and let's be honest, when am I NOT thinking about dessert?).  So, we had some delicious cookies for dessert.  And we ate all 12 of them in less than an hour.  Good thing I only made 12...?  Sometimes I don't question why Ben has to make me eat healthy. =/

To finish off the night, I convinced Ben to let me use this homemade scrub on his hands and feet.  We had a church activity on Saturday where we used this scrub to make our hands super soft, so I wanted him to feel just how soft his hands and feet could be.  I even offered to rub his feet afterwards as a bribe.  He then counter-bribed me, and told me we could watch Frozen if I rubbed his feet for 10 minutes each.  Being the sucker I am, I totally gave in.  And it was worth it.  Frozen was hilarious.  (Ben asked me if I was 5 years old because I enjoyed it so much - so what if I am..)  Olaf is definitely my favorite.

Anyway, that was our day.  Simple, yet pretty perfect.  So what if we're like an old married couple.  We've been married almost 4 years, so it definitely feels like it sometimes.  And that's OK with me =]


PS - Canada's spell check totally sucks.  It gets me all confused.  For example - neighbors vs "neighbours" and favorite vs. "favourite."  Ridiculous.  I just want to speak American.  Is that too hard to ask?
