sprained ankles and hummus pizza

Crazy title, huh? And no, it's not a belated april fool's prank.
I did sprain my ankle, and it sucks. I guess it was Wednesday, and I was sitting on the porch with a friend and the pup. We had just finished a good dinner and were sitting outside (still gossiping) when all of a sudden, Beaux took off after another dog. I ran after him, but unfortunately, missed a step on the porch stairs (mainly because one of them is falling apart aka I'm blaming my landlord) and landed on the brick path ankle first.  So I laid around Thursday with this guy:

how could i stay mad at him?

And on Friday, I did basically the opposite and ran errands before Justin came to town. And boy, did I wear my ankle out from Kroger, the post office and the liquor store. So we just rested Friday night, and visited with the friend that he carpooled with. Anyway, Saturday we took Beaux to the dog park, and he loved it. Someone had set up a kiddie pool, and he had a blast. He'd run around like crazy with the other dogs, and then jump in the pool. Again, we realized that Beaux needs a place to run around and swim once we move somewhere. (Unfortunately, that won't happen for the next year, as Justin is signing a lease on an apartment in Clinton, but we'll make it work.) Beaux even made a girlfriend at the dog park.

she was really just into him, not the other way around.

Now, we'll get onto the hummus pizza. I found this recipe on Pinterest, and because hummus is my new favorite food, we gave it a try. Though mine was not as colorful as the picture on the recipe, it tasted darn good. And didn't look too bad. 

yummy and healthy? i'll take that.

I had to add feta cheese, because what's pizza without cheese? Other than that, we just soaked up as much time together as we could, watched Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (way intense) and Adventures of Tintin (not that great). Oh, and bought a vacuum (one of the best things about Saturday, actually). Then Justin had to leave Sunday afternoon (very sad face), and it's back to the work week. I have a test and a project this week, and then we'll be that much closer to graduation (aka I'll be closer to Justin and that's what's really exciting!).


I didn't want this weekend to end, but I found this image earlier today, and think that this is an excellent way to look at Mondays when the weekend was just too perfect!
