Hi guys!\u00a0 Happy Monday to you all! :)\u00a0 Let’s not groan, it’s almost over (for us on EST anyway)!\u00a0 I hope you’re having a good one.\u00a0 Mine has been productive.\u00a0 It’s productive in a sort of sporadic hurryhurryhurry!! kind of way.\u00a0 I have no idea if that makes any sense but that’s how it seems.\u00a0 I’m getting a lot done even though it doesn’t really feel<\/em> like I am.\u00a0 But let’s talk eats!\u00a0 Oh starting with last night’s decadence.<\/p>\n

\"glass

glass 1 <\/p><\/div>\n

First there was a glass of wine.<\/p>\n

\"Mmmm

Mmmm chocolate <\/p><\/div>\n

Then there was a second glass with some dark chocolate torte.\u00a0 YUM!\u00a0 Scott was the one who actually suggested that maybe we pull a slice out for a snack. :p\u00a0 We split that to a point, I let Scott have more.\u00a0 We watched House Hunters, My First Place, and Property Virgins while sipping and snacking.\u00a0 I have to say the couple on My First Place last night were a bit, um, unrealistic.\u00a0 They were looking for their “first and last” home.\u00a0 First home and their last home because they wanted it to be their forever home and only<\/em> home.\u00a0 I understand buying a home that you can raise a family in, if that’s your goal.\u00a0 But your only home ever?\u00a0 Be serious.\u00a0 Your kids are going to grow up and move out (I hope!) and you are going to get older. Not many seniors can take care of a huge 4000 sq. ft. house and the property it sits on.\u00a0 They downsize which is a normal process.\u00a0 To say you never will and this is the house you’re going to die in, is well a little naive and unrealistic.\u00a0 And weird.\u00a0 There I said it.<\/p>\n

I went to bed way too late last night at 11pm because I got sucked into watching the Property Virgins trainwreck and I wanted to see how the situation ended.\u00a0 It ended like most trainwrecks, with drama.\u00a0 Crazy home buyer night! :lol:<\/p>\n

I got up this morning around 7:30 and was a little groggy.\u00a0 I could not wait for some coffee!!\u00a0 Got Rocks situated and noticed how breezy chilly it was outside.\u00a0 Brrr!\u00a0 Hoping it’s not going to last!\u00a0 Especially since some folks are getting snow.\u00a0 Eep! :O\u00a0 I’ll have none of that thank you!<\/p>\n

\"yogurt

yogurt mess <\/p><\/div>\n

Came in and had a yogurt mess with some coffee.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 2% fage<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 TBSP ground flax<\/li>\n
  • Small scoop vanilla whey powder<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 a banana, sliced<\/li>\n
  • Cranberries<\/li>\n
  • Fruit and nut granola<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Mmmmm!\u00a0 I did some work related things and cleaned up my desk a bit.\u00a0 Then it was time to get my loves up.\u00a0 Is that too mushy?\u00a0 Or do you not care?\u00a0 Then I had another little bit of coffee.\u00a0 Just a bit or else the tum would get upset.\u00a0 I started laundry and did some bloggy stuff, and got some things on my to-do list knocked off.\u00a0 One thing I’m looking forward to this week?\u00a0 Date night!\u00a0 We’re going out to a show later this week as part of my b-day activities. Stay tuned for more details. ;)<\/p>\n

    I walked the Rockster around the ‘hood.\u00a0 I was trying to also time it with the mail so I could just bring that in after the walk.\u00a0 No such luck, mail was major late today.\u00a0 At first I thought maybe today was some sort of federal holiday but no, the mail was just late.\u00a0 Naturally when I’m waiting on payment for a project!<\/p>\n

    The mail finally arrived and but my check did not.\u00a0 Grrrr!\u00a0 That’s the one downside of running your own business and being an independent contractor, waiting on the moolah to show up!\u00a0 A polite and professional business email was issued.\u00a0 Let’s hope the check arrives this week!<\/p>\n

    Speaking of mail, I’m currently awaiting so many cool packages!\u00a0 All part of some fantastic plans I have for the site regarding future giveways.\u00a0 Whee!<\/p>\n

    Then it was time for lunch and I will tell you that all I wanted for sure was some cheese!\u00a0 Light lunch which was awesome today.<\/p>\n

    \"veggieful

    veggieful <\/p><\/div>\n

    Multigrain bread with spinach, tomatoes, and topped with 1.5 slices of swiss.\u00a0 Popped in the toaster oven to crisp the bread and melt the cheese.\u00a0 On the side was a quick “salad” of cucumbers and chopped carrots dressed with:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • White wine vinegar<\/li>\n
    • Soy sauce<\/li>\n
    • Olive oil<\/li>\n
    • Seasoned with S&P, garlic powder, red pepper flakes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      And in the middle was an orange and some dried apricots.\u00a0 I had 1\/2 the orange and 3 apricots.\u00a0 All of my chopped salad and 1.5 of the open-faced sammies.<\/p>\n

      After lunch it was more work.\u00a0 I sort of feel like I’m juggling a lot right now.\u00a0 Household stuff (which we all do so no big deal just adds to the pile though), business stuff, site stuff, and also new business stuff.\u00a0 Scott and I have some ideas we are tossing around and trying to figure out how to bring to fruition.\u00a0 We need to sit down and have a serious business talk it’s just finding the time!\u00a0 I realize that probably sounds silly but trying to find time in the evenings or even weekends to actually sit down and have a long serious chat about things can be challenging.\u00a0 I’m hoping we can get some things discussed tonight.<\/p>\n

      But fun things first!\u00a0 I forgot to show you guys this!<\/p>\n

      \"birthday

      birthday prezzie <\/p><\/div>\n

      It was a birthday prezzie from my loves. :D\u00a0 Scott and I are obsessed with things 30s and 40s (okay you can toss 20s in there as well).\u00a0 We love that era!\u00a0 And that is a typewriter key (the one you push to type, not the one that actually strikes the tape) from a 1940s typewriter.\u00a0 It’s a necklace!\u00a0 YaY!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
