We did have school today…it felt like a Monday. But with the knowledge that Friday was just around the corner. No complaints, here. Also, it’s been snowing since noonish – and I was home by 4:30 and in my pajamas. Snow makes things cozy. Breakfast Oatmeal cooked in water, raisins, earth balance, milk, walnuts Lunch/Snacks … Continue reading »

They showed up anyway!
I had plans to have some friends over for dinner tonight. But we got slammed with a snowstorm, and friends called to say they couldn’t make it through the ice and snow (which was completely understandable, seeing as I am the wussiest snow driver that ever lived). I was left with a jumbo pot of … Continue reading »

Springtime in the Rockies
In October, the first snow of the season is always exciting. Even the snow through January is enjoyable. However, come March (or April, or May…) the snow gets old. Snow during spring break is a very typical occurrence in Colorado. While it makes me want to curl up in bed and dream of warm beaches, … Continue reading »

Messy Monday
First of all, it’s snowing like crazy right now. And I don’t have a delay or a closure or anything. I’m a little terrified of the drive into work – but it’s only about a mile, so I’m sure I will make it. Second, I started to make oatmeal after my workout, I put extra, … Continue reading »
Buried, again.
I woke up with a plan to workout, make pancakes and go to church. However, I also woke up to over a foot of snow – and I’m a big wimp when it comes to driving on icy roads – so I only got the first 2 completed. I just couldn’t get myself in the … Continue reading »
‘Tis the season
…for soup! But before we get to that, I tried a new drink that I got as a sample after my race a few weeks ago. It claims to “control the appetite” – so I decided to give it a try when the mid-afternoon hunger struck. The stats aren’t bad… It does have some weird … Continue reading »
Buried
We were supposed to go on a field trip today… This was taken at 8am, after Meeker attempted to dig us out, and it has been snowing like crazy all day long. If you didn’t already guess…I had another snow day today! I can’t really believe it. Consecutive snow closures haven’t happened (to me) since … Continue reading »
SNOW DAY!!
Yup, it happened. It’s a snow day. I woke up at 5:00, looked out the window and thought… “no way” – there was hardly any snow. However, I checked anyway (hoping for a delay, at best)…and I found out the entire school district is closed. That’s wild. I tried to go back to sleep, but … Continue reading »
