Hard to believe Christmas is less than a week away and I’ve been feeling like I just got to get through this week with the holiday chaos. And I have it pretty simple considering. But between work potlucks, last minute shopping, and preparing to host at our house this year, it’s been an interesting week. […]
New Vegan Restaurant & Running
I am getting excited for the holidays and next week should be fun, if a little stressful, with last minute prep and our office party. I am being daring this year planning to take a raw vegan dessert to the dessert contest. I’m a realist on it’s chances of winning, but it could be a […]
Simple Dressing & Running
It’s been an interesting week with ups and downs as the holidays get closer, but I think we’re pretty much ready and I’m looking forward to a little time off after Christmas. It’s been chilly here, so Miko has been making his backyard trips as brief as possible preferring lap cuddle time. I have been […]
Just Egg & Running for the List
This week flew by, right? And Christmas is getting closer! I’m not complaining, shopping is pretty much wrapped up and truthfully with no kids or huge office parties, my shopping is pretty simple. I did get gifts for the pups this weekend, a new toy for Miko and treats for Leela since she’s not into […]
Brazil Nut Dressing & Gift Guide
Whew, it’s been another crazy week here and it feels like time is flying and Christmas will be here like tomorrow! The pups aren’t stressing, they’re enjoying the fireplace fully relaxed. Miko leaves his toy in front of the fire a lot to warm it up. This time of year can bring on a lot […]
Holiday Spirit for the List
Another weekend whiffed by and whoa, it’s December! 2018 is almost done, that is crazy. We’ve been getting so much rain here lately that things are starting to look green and clear which is such a welcome change after all the smoke. Miko has been happy to snuggle in his blanket and skip the cold […]
Easy and Interesting Meals
I had every intention of having a new recipe ready this week, but that did not happen. Work has been crazy, on call has been crazy, we’re still eating through leftovers, and time has been an issue. Oh well! The fall trees are gorgeous here and we finished our Christmas tree. Both of our chihuahuas […]
Rain and Celebration for the List
It’s been a great few days off for Thanksgiving, so great I’m a little sad about going back to work tomorrow. Oh well, back to the grind. Thanksgiving started with an easy 4-mile run in the chilly wind. I didn’t mind, so great to see clouds and fall lease everywhere after smoke and dryness during […]
Post Holiday Peanut Dressing
Today was a celebrated rainy day in Northern California! That’s rain making our backyard view hazy, not smoke! Isn’t that beautiful? Many would consider today’s weather gloomy and wet, but we celebrated it to clear the smoky air and help firefighters. And hopefully much more rain to come in the next week or so. Miko […]
Ups and Downs for the List
It has been a strange week due to the sadness of the fires up north and terrible air quality just being a drag here. That mixed with the oddly dry weather has made it really hard to get into the holiday spirit and while the air quality is miserable, most are reluctant to complain knowing […]
