<\/p>\nHi gang and a big huge welcome to 2010!\u00a0 Which I keep wanting to type as 2110 for some reason. I would hate to think what my state of being would be like if I were to make it to such a date!<\/p>\n
Thursday evening we had some bubbly and snacks.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mmmm chocolate cookies!\u00a0 We watched a bit of Twilight Zone and I just barely made it to midnight.\u00a0 I quickly kissed my boys and headed to bed time where I immediately crashed out.<\/p>\n
Friday<\/strong>, the first day of a brand new year and this is what I was greeted with.<\/p>\n Now I realize that this doesn’t look odd.\u00a0 It’s a coffee pot, big deal.\u00a0 Well the thing is, that’s not my coffee pot.\u00a0 In fact I have no idea who’s coffee pot that is or where it came from.<\/p>\n This over here.<\/p>\n The one sitting on the floor?\u00a0 That’s my coffee pot.<\/p>\n Like whoa!\u00a0 Apparently some shenanigans happened after I went to bed.\u00a0 I just went about my business prepping dinner and then poured myself a nice mug of coffee.\u00a0 I had plans of possibly a light run or maybe some shred but my body said, “Hey, let’s not.”\u00a0 And so I didn’t.\u00a0 Rest days, we all need ’em.\u00a0 I had a wee bowl of yogurt + granola, and a bite of gingerbread bagel.\u00a0 When I say bite, I mean that literally.<\/p>\n I basically lounged around being a total bum and it was pretty amazing.\u00a0 I did some laundry and then Kim<\/a> told me it might be back luck.\u00a0 Well I don’t need any stinkin’ bad luck so I immediately ceased all laundry.\u00a0 Thank goodness I found that out early on!<\/p>\n Eventually Scott got up and I made us some breakfast.<\/p>\n We had gingerbread waffles and a huge fruit and yogurt mess.\u00a0 The fruit was:<\/p>\n The rest of the day was spent gaming our hearts out.\u00a0 I found out that the impostor coffeepot was ours pulled from the 7th circle of hell, the depths of our basement.\u00a0 Apparently it was me who broke the original coffeepot.<\/p>\n Oops!<\/p>\n See, it was pouring very very slowly.\u00a0 So slow that sometimes we had to tip the coffeepot forward in order for it to pour faster.\u00a0 When I cleaned the pot out on Thursday, I guess I scrubbed and scoured a little too hard.\u00a0 It stopped holding liquid altogether.\u00a0 It pees its pants basically.\u00a0 Hence Impostor Pot.\u00a0 Now we are shopping for a new pot.\u00a0 Impostor is nice but he doesn’t need to live here.<\/p>\n Soon dinner called to us and we fell for its siren song like punks.<\/p>\n Pork and sauerkraut, mashed potatoes, and roasted carrots and parsnips.<\/p>\n The pork was a butt roast that I cooked in the crockpot along with the kraut.\u00a0 There were also some tomatoes, onions, and green peppers in there as well.<\/p>\n I loaded up my plate mostly with sauerkraut because I love it oh so much.<\/p>\n I ended up not eating much mashed potatoes because I just wasn’t feeling that.\u00a0 Veggies, kraut, and pork were awesome!<\/p>\n We watched a Pens game which was horrible and I snacked.<\/p>\n I sipped on some red wine and had some nutroll and chocolate cookies.\u00a0 Clearly not that entire plateful, that was for both of us!\u00a0 I hit the hay and decided to play Saturday by ear.<\/p>\n Saturday, January 2nd:<\/strong><\/p>\n I got up at 8:30 this morning.\u00a0 Total craziness!\u00a0 I’ve been going to bed way too late in the evenings.\u00a0 This after midnight business is killing me.\u00a0 Ugh.<\/p>\n Muay Thai school opened back up today and I debated long and hard about going.\u00a0 I miss hitting stuff!\u00a0 But this weekend is the last two days of vacation and well, I want to get the most out of it that I can.\u00a0 Plus Scott and I had a few things that needed done so we stayed home.<\/p>\n I should have run this morning or done some shred but I didn’t.\u00a0 I did walk my dog and it was crazy cold outside.\u00a0 OY! I had on two pairs of gloves which did not work.\u00a0 My fingers were red, swollen, and numb when we got back home.\u00a0 I seriously need to find me some good gloves! Where can I look friends?\u00a0 Should I check out REI and see what hardcore campers and hikers wear?<\/p>\n Scott had leftovers for dinner this evening but I did not.\u00a0 I needed some light, filling and loaded down with veggies.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/OHC-01-01-10_coffeepot1-300x225.jpg\" "\\"Impostor")
