Breakfast/Lunch/Peppermint Marshmallows!

The commute into work today was horrible!  It took me an hour to get home in blowing snow last night, this morning was cold, but bright sunny skies and it took me 45 minutes to get in!  I expected to see an accident, but nothing! I had planned to stop at the store to get chocolate milk, because I brought my secret ingredient recipe to work today:...

Let it snow!

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwMvcdWua1U] This is what it looks like out my back door! Hannah had dinner over at a friends house tonight, so Tony and I decided to go out.  It’s kind of a running gag in our house – when Hannah isn’t home, we tell her that we went to thrift stores, eat sushi, go to pet stores and pick up tiny dogs! Because the weather is...

Rain turning to snow. . .

What a miserable drive in this morning – its raining hard and people are driving as if they have never driven in rain before.  As the temperature drops, it will turn to snow and in my neck of the woods it could be six inches of snow by tomorrow morning.  Yuck! On a happy note, I got to work and found this on my desk!...

A snowman a day. . .

Yep, its official – its snowman time!  Unfortunately for Tony though!  I will admit though that I have only brought out about 2 dozen this year!   I don’t like all snowmen though – I am kind of picky!  So from now until Christmas I will be showing pictures of some of my favorites.  I don’t know what it is about them, but they make me...

Honeycrisp Apples!

Oh my!  I’ve read other blogs about these apples, in fact, they are my brothers favorite!  But I’ve always heard that they were expensive so I never bothered. Well I stopped by a different grocery store yesterday and they had them on sale for .99 a pound!   They are the perfect balance of sweet and tart – this may be a new staple in my...

Weekends go by so fast!

For breakfast I made sliced apples on peasant bread with extra sharp cheddar cheese.  So yum!  I just love this combo of sweet and sharp.  Then it was time to put up the tree!  It’s a prelit tree, which is so nice, except it maybe took me about 15 minutes to hook all the pieces together!  But I love how quickly it goes up –...

love sleeping in!

That’s probably one of the things I love most about the weekend.  No hurry to get up, nowhere to be.  I know some people wake up at the same time every day no matter what.  Me, I could sleep until noon if given the chance! And we were out late last night, we got home about 12:30.  Having Hannah as our designated driver was a great...

Busy day today!

Tony and I slept in until 9:00 this morning and nothing gets me out of bed quicker than suggesting we go out for breakfast!  I quickly got dressed and ran outside to brush off the snow on the truck.  We probably got about two more inches over night? Hannah had my camera, so no breakfast pics.  I did pretty good.  I ate two eggbeater eggs,...
