Woohoo, this long short week is almost over! Work is still so busy and we had more yucky weather today with lots of clouds and rain. For the last few days I’ve been feeling really tired and having to find more drive to workout and bang out tasks on my task list. Along with the […]
Creamy Orange Salad & Another Socca Trial
Today was my Monday after a long weekend and it felt like it! Work dragged while being busy and hitting one frustrating snag after another making it not the most productive and more to look forward to tomorrow. I hate that. And our days continue to be cold, wet, windy and gray with more rain. […]
In The Dark, Soups & Salads
Wind, rain and bad hair were constants for today and I’m so sick of rain. But that’s not the worst – we lost power for most of yesterday thanks to the wind taking out a power pole. I was in shock because that’s such a rare thing here. When we lived in Florida, it was […]
Fries, Salad & Surviving Costco
Rain, rain, go away… We’re on day 3 currently of solid rain and I’m over it. I’ve given up on having a good hair day and am seriously considering investing in rain boots now. What makes this more icky is it’s always dark and the house feels cold, so all I want to do is […]
Another Gift Guide
Yesterday was a wonderful relaxing and lazy day where I disconnected for most of it tacking little home projects and watching TV. It’s a great thing to do once and a while. The weather was horribly rainy, windy and cold, so I stayed inside most of the day except for some Christmas shopping errands that […]
Simple Lunch & A Whatever Dinner
What a week, I’m so glad I’m taking tomorrow off! It won’t be entirely relaxing though, I have a list of errands and tasks to do at home like wrap gifts, meal plan, shop. Though I’m not looking forward to the errand part so much, holiday road madness is in full force! Why does something […]
Ginger Stir Fry
Today was kind of a dirty trick weather-wise, it was sunny and crisp while not being too cold. Perfect. But I had to work all day. And now rain pretty much sums up our forecast until Christmas. Oh well, a good excuse to stay inside, enjoy the fireplace and play in the kitchen. Thankfully my […]
Fast Meals & Trying to Stay Dry
Ick, it’s been raining pretty much all day. And it’s hard to get out of a warm bed when it’s cold, dark and raining, I seriously had to motivate myself this morning. But my workouts have been fun lately because I’ve been setting our DVR to grab every Christmas movie I can find to watch […]
Curry Chickpea Stew
Well happy Monday, I hope it treated everyone well. Mine was okay, but I felt pretty scattered at work trying to get back into the grind while mentally preparing for the holidays. Monday’s aren’t typically my most productive days, so adding a layer of holiday complication did not help! Luckily I got it together by […]
Dining Out & Christmas Lights
Ah, this has been a relaxing weekend. We just got back from having lunch and spending some time with my 90-something grandma setting up her new flat panel TV. Poor thing, the old tube TV she had has been dying a slow death with a screen so blurry she could hardly make out the characters […]
