Perfect Match

Thank goodness it’s humpday.

And that I have had a great morning so far  :)  That’s what getting up on time, spending some time in Proverbs, and playing with a puppy will do for you.

It didn’t hurt that Nick made breakfast for us, either.

I figured I would have either some oatmeal or a pb & j sandwich, but Nick cooked up some bacon and eggs for both of us while I was finishing getting ready.

You know you married your perfect match when they give you the eggs that didn’t break  :)  Thank you Nick!

I had 2 eggs, 1 slice of bacon, and 1/2 an apple that we split this morning.

No coffee at home, sadly, but I’ll probably have that or tea at work – I have a feeling today is going to be just as busy as yesterday.

And Maggie says hi –

IMG_1045

We keep her in her kennel when we’re eating so she can eat her meals and so we actually eat for a few minutes.

Nick’s actually about to take her on a short walk this morning to burn off a bit of her energy ;) She’s a little fireball.

Everyone had such great guesses yesterday! All of the answers you had made total sense, but the first person to guess Rose was…

Amanda (Two Boos Who Eat)

Chickpeas? It’s gotta be Rose.

Congrats Amanda! Email me your address and I’ll get your gift on it’s way :)

 

What’s your morning schedule?

Puppies + Mugs

I better be quick! The Orange Bowl is just starting  :)  Georgia Tech vs. Iowa – I have no clue who will win, but I have to hope for the ACC in this one.

Work was nuts today – we’ve been so busy lately! It’s never slow in our office, but it’s not normally this busy at this time of year either.

I ended up not having a snack this afternoon and I’m glad I didn’t because I would have wasted my dessert!

We got home around 5:40 today and played with Maggie a little bit until we wanted dinner.

Cute, huh?

Too bad she can make your hands bleed in 2 seconds.

Or make you wash the kitchen rugs again because she had her first accident in the house in days.

Oh well – puppies are puppies, right?

Thankfully, dinner was leftovers tonight, but they were more fun than last night!

I got to use one of my Christmas gifts tonight!

IMG_1036

My older sister painted a mug for me and Nick for Christmas, and this is mine. I love it!

It was the perfect thing to use to try this new brew.

I found this one this weekend – the company started in Virginia, but is in Delaware now. I liked it!

I heated up the leftover chicken, couscous, and green beans from last night and we ate that while Maggie ate dinner in her kennel.

Having a puppy just makes the days go by so fast! I feel like it’s so late already. At least I’ve already gotten some things done.

  • I fed my sourdough starter.
  • I made hard boiled eggs.
  • I packed part of lunch for tomorrow.
  • I started washing those rugs…
  • I’ve got dessert ready and waiting :)

This is why I’m happy I didn’t have these for a snack :)

I’m happy I have them for dessert!

Nick and I went to The Chocolate Spike at lunch today, and I got 2 truffles to try.

1 milk chocolate gingerbread and 1 mint medley fudge.

and….she just pooped in the kitchen.

It may be a long night.

 

You all had some great guesses – I’ll announce the winner in the morning :)

 

Foods for Thought

Today’s lunch made me think of another blogger.

Can you guess who?

I’ll give you a hint.

My lunch was leftover Indian and it had chickpeas.

IMG_7683

and a clementine, but that’s not what made me think of this person.

Any guesses?

First one to get it right will something from me :) 

The prize? A surprise!

 

Do certain foods make you think of other people?

Almonds and Joy

I got up on time today! And not because a puppy was whining – Maggie is actually really good about being quiet now when she’s in her kennel at night and in the morning.

I actually got up when my alarm went off, which has made this morning pretty nice. I’ve had plenty of time to get ready, play with Maggie, and make us both some oatmeal.

IMG_1029

While I was waiting on my oatmeal to cook, I had about 4-5 different toppings out for my bowl.

IMG_1030

I just couldn’t decide what I wanted this morning! And then I saw the sliced almonds I used in the couscous last night and my mind was made up.

A candy bar in a bowl?

  • 1/2 cup oats, 1 cup water, pinch salt
  • 1/2 banana, sliced
  • cinnamon
  • 1 Tbsp dark chocolate peanut butter
  • 2 Tbsp sliced almonds
  • 1 Tbsp coconut

IMG_1031

Even with the pb, banana, and cinnamon, this still kind of tastes like an Almond Joy.

 

Can you believe it’s 2010? It seems like such a weird thing to be in a “new decade” and it doesn’t feel like 10 years have passed since 2000.

Where were you in 2000?
