Hello Lovelies! How were your Wednesdays? Mine went swimmingly – fairly uneventful in my world. (see below for the very eventful moment of my day). Let’s start with breakfast… A toasted cinnamon-raisin English muffin – it doesn’t really get better than cinnamon + raisins + bread I had an apple and peanut butter while teaching … Continue reading »

Yes, I want to run.
Whooooo! I feel like a billion dollars. Butt kicking runs on Saturday mornings are THE highlight of my life. Say what you will about that, but I swear, nothing makes me happier.

On top of that went lean ground beef, black bans, salsa, and a little cheddar. Halfway … Continue reading »

Cookies, Cookies Everywhere
Here I am before I left for the cookie exchange… and after! Look at all the variety… I somehow managed to only eat one of these (the chocolate buck eyes you see right in front) before dinner. Sweet potato with black beans. I cooked the ‘tater in the microwave for 6 minutes, then cut it … Continue reading »
Denim and Dropping Temperatures
Brr! It’s so stinkin’ cold here in Colorado! I’m not even sure the temperature got into the double digits today – eek!
