Good morrow to ya. Sooo, I’m traveling to Portland, Maine today via Amtrak because Matt’s friend Jeff invited us skiing!!!! Jeff grew up in Portland, so we’re going to be spending tonight at his house and then skiing at Shawnee Peak on Sunday. Tomorrow will only be my fourth ski trip ever, so wish me luck! Growing up in the south, I didn’t ski for the first time until college, so I still get nervous when I get to the…

Dinners
I was really countin’ on a delay this morning, but no, nothing. And, I stayed up a little too late last night, so I was really really tired today. Aside from me being glazed over all day, nothing out of the ordinary happened: Matt made the usual Thursday pancakes for breakfast; I worked on the never-ending report; I did the stair climber after work. I wasn’t in the mood to do a whole lot of cooking, so dinner was prepared…
No work tomorrow!!! Although we will have to make up the day in June, I’m hoping my workload will be a bit lighter on the last day of school and maybe I won’t need to go… The nice thing about a snow day is that it kinda of forces you to relax because I’m guessing that not a whole lot will be open. I’m planning to sleep in, finish writing a report, get a decent work-out in (my gym time…
Waking up late and having to rush through my oatmeal put me in a bad mood. Matt claims he’s still a terps fan, but he couldn’t help but smile when Curry hit amazing 3’s. I missed my computer soooo much this weekend and I’m way more productive when I have it. There’s talk of a legit blizzard tomorrow night. I’m so glad to have habanero wraps back in my life. I’m not as glad to have Monday class back in…
Well it was bound to happen – I left my computer cord at work, so I now have a dead computer with no way to revive it until Monday:( I’m still able to blog Matt’s computer, but I don’t have the pictures from this week and thus the lack of a Fashion Friday post… Other than that, Friday was good and very low-key. My meeting went surprisingly well (we found the child ineligible for special ed) and I got quite…
Today was essentially the opposite of yesterday – I quickly knocked out the gym and came home and got sooo much accomplished! There’s been a pile of reject clothing in the corner of my room for a while and I finally got around to washing all the items so I can get rid of them! While I was on the project, I also cleaned out some other areas and ended up with three huge bags of old purses, shoes, and…
Good evening, I’ve been surprisingly upbeat for the first week back after the holidays. Maybe it’s been the sunny, not-freezing weather? I hear snow is on the way though. I can already tell that my vacation-induced sleep surplus is running out quickly because I was dragging while babysitting today. If only I could stay rested during the work week! Any tips for getting everything accomplished (without working on my to-do list at work or giving up cooking, blogging,or working-out) while…
I finally got back in the kitchen today and made Angela’s Lentil Walnut Burgers again. I used a real egg this time and they held together much better (I think my flax egg failed me the last time I made these). I also made parsnip fries for the first time and I’m in love. They were sooo sweet! Who knew? This dinner was delightful. The burger’s texture kept reminding me of something, and about halfway through dinner I realized this…
Yo friends. The first day back was a success. I kind of liked feeling productive again. I got reacquainted with the stair climber after work and then took a brisk walk with Matt to run a few errands. Since Matt had the day off, he cooked dinner tonight…what a treat! He made lemon + pepper pasta with shrimp (inspired by this recipe from cooking light). It was perfect:) On to resolutions. To be honest, I’m not that into resolutions. The…
