\"\"<\/a>Hi gang!\u00a0 How was everyone’s weekend?\u00a0 Mine was jam packed! :o<\/p>\n

Friday night Scott and I went out to dinner because it was Restaurant Week!\u00a0 We headed to a local establishment for amazing food and great conversation.\u00a0 On Saturday we had errands to run, of the shopping variety.\u00a0 Scott needs a new desk and I wanted to look at Christmas decorations.\u00a0 What?\u00a0 It is<\/em> the holidays!<\/p>\n

First we headed over to Garden Ridge, do you have one of those?\u00a0 They are amazing!\u00a0 It’s like an Big Lots (or Odd Lots depending on where you live) but uh, bigger and with way better stuff.\u00a0 I got a lot of tree decorations from there.\u00a0 I put up a bunch of trees for Christmas, but “bunch” I mean like over five.\u00a0 I need more decorations for the trees and Garden Ridge had some lovely glass bulbs in some amazing colors.<\/p>\n

Then it was off to my next favorite store, World Market!\u00a0 Sadly they didn’t have the desk Scott wanted any longer but we were able to find a nice piece of furniture for our entry way that we will also be able to use as storage.\u00a0 Score!\u00a0 And I bought more Christmas decorations and we stocked up on wine.\u00a0 Now the wine rack is full and ready for the holidays.\u00a0 YaY!<\/p>\n

Sunday started early as we got up and headed over to a race!\u00a0 For me, not for Scott.\u00a0 Scott did the dutiful runner spouse job of taking pictures and standing around waiting for me to finish.\u00a0 He’s such an amazing guy to do all that for me as I run all these races!<\/p>\n

After the race we came home to a much needed hot shower for me, and plenty of coffee for us both.\u00a0 I also got busy making Sunday Breakfast which thankfully took almost no effort on my part because I basically just had to heat everything up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>When I make pancakes, I make a big batch and then freeze the leftovers.\u00a0 This way I just have to pop them in the toaster oven and heat them up when I want a quick breakfast.\u00a0 Yesterday, the most taxing thing was peeling the clementines and I had Scott do that!\u00a0 I would have done it but I cut my thumb about a week ago and it’s still healing.\u00a0 The cut is such that I can use my thumb to press on things just yet and that includes peeling fruit.<\/p>\n

Along with some sausage that got heated up in the oven, breakfast was complete!\u00a0 I topped my pancakes with:<\/p>\n
