I am so relieved this week is over! With being on call for work, running on a lack of sleep and juggling tons of stuff, I thought it would never end! Plus my Chi Ceramic hair flat iron decided to die in the worst way possible, the plastic power switch assembly broke off for no […]
Lentil Quinoa Chili
So happy this week is almost over! I’ve been on call for work and getting a lot of night calls this week and I’m feeling the lack of sleep. But enough whining, every once in awhile I get a thank you gift at work from co-workers happy to have working computers. Today I got one […]
Rushed Lunch & Remixing Leftovers
For some reason I keep thinking today is Thursday – wishful thinking! But at least the work week is halfway over. Typically I know better than to go to Whole Foods for lunch on a rainy day. But I decided to risk it today since I needed to pick up a few things. Our Whole […]
Baked Squash & Skillet Fail
This week is slugging and mostly because of my long “to do” list constantly running in the background. I love the holidays, but they can bring a lot of stress! I did finally finish my Christmas cards. Now I just need to finish my gift list, shopping, meal planning, family planning… ugh! Since this week […]
Salad, Stir Fry & Our Tree
Last year we went all out for our Christmas tree, driving to a nice tree farm in Apple Hill to select a fresh cut tree. That was fun and it was an awesome tree, but also pricey, time-consuming and next to impossible to get in the rain. Since the weather was mushy and time was […]
More Eating Out & CIM Relay
Whew, what a day! I survived my leg of the CIM relay and the rest of my plans for the day and am now ready to relax. Especially since it’s pouring rain outside as it has been for most of the weekend and I’m getting the stink eye from a very frustrated dog for not […]
Malt Kale & Sloppy Wraps
It’s a rainy and chilly Saturday here, but we’re having a lovely, relaxing day at home decorating and getting ready to meet my sister at Ikea for dinner and race packet picket for tomorrow’s CIM relay. Yesterday was a chaotic day at work with last minute issues popping up constantly, so I’m glad to relax […]
Farm Box Challenge & Lentil Soup
Blah, what a wet and cold day. And a busy day at work, so relieved tomorrow is Friday. If this week had a theme at work, it’s crashing hard drives because I’ve spent a lot of time scrambling to recover data from 4 laptops that users didn’t back up. If you have a laptop, make […]
Impossible Shot & More Leftovers
We’re officially over the week’s hump and that’s a good thing! I burned the stresses of my work day by taking a long run in our brisk, 40-degree weather and it was nice seeing all the decorations already up in our neighborhood. Quite a few of my neighbors are way ahead of us. :-) Without […]
Shopping & Socca
At least it’s not Monday, but this is already been a long week. Staring at a long to do list of Christmas cards to send, gifts to order, stamps to get, etc. isn’t helping. It’s crazy how many little manic tasks the holidays tend to bring on. This morning our newspaper had a greeting card […]
