A Bad Bite

Today was going well…until we were eating dinner.

I don’t know what it is, but right when I was finishing my meal, I just started feeling sick.

Don’t you hate that?

Especially when it tasted good until the one bite that ruins everything?

Nick and I went to the local Mexican place for dinner and I ordered the veggie fajitas.

All was going well until the last bite. I don’t know what it was, but my stomach just turned and I’ve been feeling pretty gross since then. I haven’t actually gotten sick, but I do not feel good.

We’re home now, watching the football game and trying to get Maggie to calm down and cuddle :)  We’ll see if that happens.

 

I think a cup of hot tea is in order.

 

What is the best thing to cure an upset stomach?

I know ginger is supposed to help, as well as peppermint tea.

Work Routine + Blogger Sighting

It’s so strange to be back at work today!

My email was crazy and took me forever to get through, but at least the office is quiet. It’s just me and one other guy in here today – I’m glad at lease one other person was here because I get kinda creeped out when I’m the only person in the office.

With all the emails waiting for me, work went by pretty quickly this morning and I was more than ready for lunch when Nick came over.

I didn’t want to leave any food in the fridge this weekend, so Nick and I both had some of the leftover tuna casserole for lunch today.

I also had the last of the broccoli from last night.

After we ate, we ran some errands around town. And I found a fun thing in my newest Fitness Magazine!

It’s MizFit!!! It’s so fun seeing people you “know” in magazines  :)

 

Have you or someone you know ever been in a magazine or on tv?

Apple of My Oats

Good morning!

No headache to speak of this morning so far :)  I’m happy about that!

Maggie’s been playing like crazy this morning – which means toys are everywhere, shreds of toys are everywhere, and I have lots of little bite marks on my arms, hands, and toes.

It’s a good thing she’s so cute ;)

This morning is the first morning with us both getting ready to leave for work and playing  with her, taking her out, etc. Nick woke up and took her out this morning and fed her breakfast before I got up, and then he played with her while I was in the shower. After I got out, we switched and I played with her while he was getting ready.

That system seems to work pretty well right now, and I’m very thankful that Nick has been getting up early to let her out and feed her in the morning.

I decided on my breakfast last night so I could get ready pretty quickly today.

Apple Cinnamon Butterscotch Oats!

And actually the butterscotch was a last minute addition, but a great one!

  • 1/2 cup oats, 1 cup water, pinch salt
  • cinnamon
  • 1 small apple, diced and microwaved for 1.5 minutes with cinnamon
  • 1 Tbsp cinnamon raisin pb
  • 1 Tbsp butterscotch chips

Apples + butterscotch = A great match and a great breakfast.

One more trip outside with Maggie, and I think we’re ready to go.

 

What pet(s) do you have?

Worn Out

Hey, hey, a dinner post :)

Maggie just laid down and is snuggling Nick on the couch – it’s been a busy day with her.

I got a little laundry done while she was napping this afternoon. When she’s really sleeping, she doesn’t even notice me getting up and moving around the house, which is great – otherwise, she wants to follow me everywhere and we don’t have her (or want her!) going downstairs yet.

After taking her out to the bathroom and sneaking Roxy a little leftover yogurt snack, Nick took Maggie for a short walk.

I heated up some of the leftover tuna casserole from last night and steamed some broccoli for dinner.

Salt + crushed red pepper make everything better.

We finished dinner and played with Maggie for a while before she got sleepy again.

I’ve got one load of laundry to fold (that just finished!) and then…

I’ve got a Christmas treat plate waiting for me  :) 1 homemade sugar cookie (baked by Nick’s parents, iced by Nick and me) and some of my Mammaw’s fudge. This will probably also involve a cup of hot tea, which has happened the past 3 nights.

 

*And I have not forgotten about football. Oh no. ;)

I’ve been watching the bowl games, but with Maggie taking over our lives and traveling, I haven’t been remembering to put them up!

So – tonight! 8 pm – should be an interesting game.
