I’m still recovering from the fun-loaded weekend after being on call for work, celebrating, running errands, and our Easter celebration. I need a weekend from the weekend! But it all went good and we had a huge and active Easter celebration at my sister’s house with family, friends, and way too much food. Thanks to […]
Chocolate Mousse Cake
Miko has discovered a new game called stash treats in the couch. I found quite a few cleaning over the weekend which made him very excited. The thought of heading back to Las Vegas makes me excited because I have a soft spot for the Wynn Las Vegas. I did a huge report and presentation on […]
Potluck Vanilla Chai Chia Seed Pudding
It’s still raining here and that’s okay, we still need it and have plenty of holiday cheer inside. But Miko is still not happy about the rain, he’d like more active walks and is ready to party in the evenings! I went to a work party/brunch potluck today. I know, brunch. Why brunch? An awkward […]
Chocolate Cherry Banana Soft Serve
Guess what day it is…. hump day! It’d be pretty awesome if a camel wandered through our office. Miko seems to be in a slump today and a little frustrated with me for not paying enough attention to him. He’s happily at my feet now in his favorite mushy bed. But I needed a slump […]
Easter Weekend
Even though it was a busy weekend, I still miss it! I had a great 6-mile run Saturday training for an upcoming 12k race. And had enough energy to take the dogs for a long walk after to visit grazing sheep in our neighborhood. They all came to the fence to get a closer look […]
Raw Protein Gingerbread Ice Cream
Even though this week has been hectic, I’m finally feeling relaxed and giddy about the holidays because my shopping is done … I think. And the chilly winter weather, Christmas playlist, and gorgeous holiday lights have been making weeknight runs nice! Shadow has been having his own celebration snoozing under the Christmas tree as much […]
Holiday Time
Whew, the last few days have been a blur of making a mess of my kitchen, cleaning it, running, shopping, and getting ready for the holidays and another family gathering last night. But I’ve also been sleeping in and cuddling with sweet pets in the chilly weather here, it’s been heavenly to have a few […]
New Shoes & Orange Sherbet
Long weekends are the best, so nice not having to prepare for the work week on a Sunday night. I played in the kitchen instead and it was wonderful. I’ve also been braking in new running shoes this weekend – Asics GEL-Kinetic 4s. The problem with running more miles is I literally kill running shoes […]
Celebrating with Chocolate
As a kid, I hated the day after Christmas because it was tough coming down from all the excitement, gift opening and family. Now I appreciate it more, it still feels like Christmas to me minus the stress of wrapping gifts, cooking and shopping. Today I’ve been relaxing, cleaning and enjoying the peace after so […]
