I’ve seen the what to eat pad and love it! I’d love to own it!
Congrats Sarah! Please email me your address so we can get your winnings sent to you!
What’s the best thing you’ve ever won?!?
I would have to say…one of the coolest things I remember winning was this HUGE stuffed raccoon – you know the one from the animated Pocahontas movie? My little sister and I entered a raffle at a Food Lion and we won it! It was a huge stuff animal, like 3-4 feet tall, and we loved it!
I got up pretty late only to find out that work is not cancelled – we don’t even have a delay! I don’t know how they’re doing that if they never got the parking lots cleared….I just hope there aren’t a lot of accidents or people getting stuck in the snow because of it.
We may just have to drive in and follow our tracks right back out of the parking lots!
I guess we’ll see.
I am running behind today, but I made sure to make a good breakfast. It’s cold here! And we may have a few more light snow showers before this thing is totally over.
Well, 2 days in a row with no real lunch! I don’t know what got into us.
I think having big, filling breakfasts and eating later than normal just filled us up.
After eating breakfast and getting ready to brave the cold weather, we ran up to the Walmart near our house for a few things we needed for our Christmas gifts. They ended up being out of one very important item, so we drove over to another store, but they didn’t have it either.
We tried one more place (no luck) before heading back home to drop of the goods we did pick up.
Nick actually had to go into the lab for about an hour this afternoon, so I took a book and went into town with him. I sat and read Espresso Shot for a while, and then I got to look at some cells under the microscope – it reminded me of science class! :)
We trudged through the uncleared parking lot back to the truck and headed over to the mall. Since we were out in town already, Nick and I both finished shopping for each other and we got almost all the rest of our gifts for family.
Since we were still out in town at 5, we decided to eat at Olive Garden –we were both finally hungry and just happy to be out of the house.
I had 2 bowls of salad, 2 breadsticks, and a bowl of the zuppa toscana soup.
Nick got a sampler plate for his dinner, and I had 2-3 tiny stuffed mushrooms and 2 toasted raviolis, too. I was hungry! And this dinner didn’t really fill me up at the time, but once we got home and I drank a glass of water – I felt stuffed!
We came home and got all our Christmas stuff put away for now and are pretty well organized. Now the last thing to do is to make everything! The next few days will be pretty busy in our house, but it’ll be fun.
I’m hoping work will be cancelled – or at least delayed – tomorrow since the parking lots at work were still completely full of over 1 foot of snow…but we’ll see. My work isn’t known for closing down unless it’s really bad.
The snow stopped for a few hours yesterday afternoon, but then started up again last night. We don’t have big snowflakes anymore, but it’s coming down again as I type this.
Yay for lazy + snowy weekends!
Nick and I went back outside yesterday after our hot chocolate lunch and played with some of the kids from across the street.
We helped build a snowman (and provided the carrot nose) and I slid down our hill on my butt a few times. I’m too chicken to get on the sled because our hill is pretty steep, but snow bibs are slick, so I was still going pretty fast!
We came back in, changed clothes, heated up leftover picadillo for dinner and watched a movie. It was a nice cozy night.
This morning, we woke up to see it snowing again! I thought it would really be done yesterday, but I’ll take it when I can get it.
Without having to get up or use an alarm clock, you’d think that we would have gotten enough sleep – but Nick and I got out of bed this morning, laid on the couch to watch some news and we both fell back asleep and took a little morning nap! I guess we were just worn out from yesterday.
Once we woke back up, we got started on breakfast.
Nick made some biscuits and bacon and I cooked some eggs for us.
We also made little apple turnovers with some puff pastry for dessert last night and had some apples that wouldn’t fit so we heated those up to have with breakfast.
I had some eggs, 1 biscuit with some of that awesome Frog Hollow Farm Apricot Conserve, 1 slice of bacon and some apples.
And lots of coffee :)
We’re about to brave the snow and go up to the store.
