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 […]
Trying to Warm Up
Ah, Monday and after a long, relaxing weekend. I wasn’t exactly thrilled to jump out of our warm bed in the dark cold this morning and trying to get back into the grind was not easy. But I am grateful I had Black Friday off work. I worked for a small, private IT company for […]
Changing it up
I hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend, I am and getting some stuff done. Actually I’ve been a bit bored this weekend, which isn’t a bad thing after all the holiday excitement. Coming down from all the food prep excitement and retail over stimulation left me feeling a little blah yesterday. It didn’t help […]
Leftovers & Being Lazy
I am still decompressing from all the Thanksgiving preparations and festivities, we’ve spent most of today cleaning a trashed kitchen and lounging around the house. My cats have this art mastered on what’s essentially become their personal couch. Rough life. And joining me for a lazy TV snack. Then we crammed in a little shopping […]
Chipotle & Butternut Lentils
One day countdown to Thanksgiving and I successfully navigated my way through Whole Foods without losing my sanity today. Sure, it was crowded, but no where near as bad as I was preparing myself for. And I even got a parking spot in the front without trying. Granted there were two monster trucks on even […]
Pineapple Tempeh Stir Fry
I wish I could say this week at work has been relaxing and you’d think it would be with so many people taking the week off. But oh no, it’s been crazy! I’m so glad it’s a short week, everyone seems stressed and cranky – including me. And my mom’s cats who stalked me when […]
Clearing out & Butternut Day
Whew, Monday again! Good thing it’s a short week and I’m feeling pretty good after a productive weekend. I got another car load to the Goodwill and found that location was pretty packed with stuff already. Since the holidays can mean lots of new stuff coming in, nice to get the old out first. And […]
Vegan Chili To Go
Don’t get me wrong, I love that huge monitors are so cheap these days. I remember paying over $400 for a 17″ CRT monitor not that long ago and today an awesome 23″ LCD that’s many times better can be had for less than $200. But such a low price does not include a height […]
