Leftover Lunchies. This antique looking fork was in the drawer in our staff lounge. Me likey. This is the most uneventful lunch post, I know. I also had some cherries while the kiddos were taking a reading test, and I ate some trail mix in between dictating words for a spelling test. I didn’t think … Continue reading »

Kitty in the Cupboard
I went for a very lovely bike ride this morning as a cross-training workout. Riding my bike is always (1) more challenging and (2) more enjoyable than I think it will be. Plus, I got to see a very pretty, orange sunrise. Then I whipped up this guy If you are thinking, “Ugh, that looks … Continue reading »
Thursday, really.
Yesterday, I thought the entire day was Thursday. I even started passing out “Thursday Folders” to the kiddos – until the class of third graders politely reminded told me how wrong I was. What a bummer. However, today really was Thursday, and I had good eats to go along with my favorite day of the week. … Continue reading »
Coyotes and Cottage Cheese
A pre-sunrise walk this morning with Punky led to a pre-sunrise run when I heard coyotes in the bushes. I thought they were far, but Punky seemed to think they were right on our tails. Her ears were perked the whole time and she was scanning the dark bushes frantically. Yikes. Upon returning home – … Continue reading »
Mama said
Last week, I was whining that I couldn’t eat after my speed-work runs, and my mama said that I would probably feel better when the weather cooled off. Well – Mama knows best. It rained almost all day today – cleared up around 5pm, and I was able to come home from wrok, do a … Continue reading »

Monday, Monday
Remember how yesterday I said that if I had plain yogurt and a chocolate Odwalla bar… my breakfast would be stellar? Well, look who was hiding in the back of the pantry… plus 1/2 cup plain yogurt, a splash of vanilla, cinnamon and chopped almonds = Ah, perfection in the form of breakfast. What a … Continue reading »
veggies and chalk
Such a relaxing Sunday…just what I needed. I had seen a very enticing cookie recipe on Caitsplate for some Whole Wheat Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies. I just happened to have all of the ingredients, and an afternoon with no plans…so away I baked. Best. Cookies. Ever. Look out Jocelyn, there is a package sitting on … Continue reading »
Breakfast, Work, Church, Lunch.
It’s 1:50pm, and I feel like I have already had a full day! The first few weeks of school are always a little chaotic, and I forgot how many hours of prep work it takes for a classroom to run smoothly during the times the kiddos are there. With that being said – I felt … Continue reading »
Lunch with a friend
This afternoon, I drove down to Colorado Springs to have lunch with a very dear friend named Tracy who I have known since elementary school! She lives in Connecticut, but she is staying in CO with her parents while she recovers from brain surgery that she had 2 weeks ago (to remove a tumor) . I … Continue reading »
