Halloween was pretty low-key here, hubby carved the pumpkin into an adorable minion from Despicable Me. And I dashed to Target after work to grab Halloween candy which probably wasn’t the best idea waiting until the very last minute, the candy aisle was total chaos with bags thrown everywhere and slow-moving carts trying to find […]
Just a Chill Weekend
So happy the weekend is here after an emotionally draining week. Things are getting better at work now that we’re not shorthanded and I’m thankful, but there was still a lot going on this week with training and balancing a huge workload. Hubby and I started the weekend at a new Thai restaurant we found […]
Recovering
This weekend wasn’t nearly as spectacular as last weekend, it was mostly hanging around the house whining with a cold and trying to get chores and a long run done which didn’t go so well. My long run was more like a long walk since I was low of energy, stuffed up, and gasping for […]
Smokey Curry Avocado Dressing
At least it’s not Monday anymore, right? That’s the most positive thing I can come up with today and I apologize because I’m feeling pretty fried. There’s a fun little stomach bug ripping through our department that I may have caught partially or am still trying to fight it off because I’ve been feeling tired […]
Another Creamy Avocado Dressing
So far July is off to a stressful start here, the work week started with a bang with a couple of server issues today and I’m on call this week dealing with more issues tonight and hoping for things to settle down enough to get in a workout, ugh! I had a feeling this was […]
Fun with a Julienne Peeler
Another weekend went by way too fast, mentally prepping myself for another work week is more challenging than usual after a crazy week. But I’m trying to be optimistic, this week could be much better – right? I caught up on about 6 loads of laundry today getting ready for the week, including washing the […]
Tangy Green Dressing
Happy Saturday and I am so glad the weekend is here! What a week at work! Down time is so important now when things won’t be slowing down over the next few weeks, our team is short-staffed again and lots of people taking vacations, except me :-(, and still plenty of projects and upgrades going […]
Edamame Corn Salsa
Sometimes I wish I could party at home all day like Miko. And he’s ready to party more when I get home letting me know it’s toy-throwing and tug-o-war time. How can you resist this face? And a good growl session is very therapeutic after another crazy day at work. So is a bright and […]
Getting Back to Normal
After a long day at work, it was nice to get home and relax with these guys. Not sure Miko was ready to relax, he sat eagerly in my lap determined to not let me catch up on my Words With Friends games. Maybe he’s right, having 15 active games is a bit much. A […]
Juicing for Cake
Ick, how did Monday get here so fast? Thankfully it flew by at work, but only because it was insanely busy. Miko seemed to be as thrilled as I was to climb out of bed this morning. I did get a 9-mile run in Saturday which the weather was just gorgeous for. Too bad getting […]
