Return to Normalcy

I’m so happy to have another week off! The glamorous side of teaching, I guess.

Breakfast was leisurely…a bowl of veggie scrambled eggs.

And some really good coffee from Meeker’s amazing Christmas gift…

A single cup coffee maker! His parents gave this to him as a Christmas present, and by default, I also got a fantastic gadget.

I ran errands and made some cookie dough (more on that later), took Punky for a snowy walk, and then came home for a nice sit-down lunch – which I hadn’t had in a while.

Turkey sandwich with hummus, cucumbers, and lettuce.

A crispy gala and a chocolate peppermint cookie!

Yum, yum, yum. After Mexico, then two Christmas celebrations, it feels good to be eating my normal food again.

Tonight, I am having seven friends (most of which I have known for 15 years or more!) over for a cookie decorating party. I am also making a white chicken chili for dinner. I plan on a lot of hugging and laughing…and don’t worry; I will be back with a full mouth-watering recap tomorrow!

Happy Monday!
