Hi guys!\u00a0 Busy day so far at the HQ but let’s get this recap started!<\/p>\n

Last night while Scott and I watched TV there were snacks.<\/p>\n

\"too

too sweet...<\/p><\/div>\n

Parisian macaroons from WF<\/abbr>, one chocolate and one pralines and cream.\u00a0 I was also poured another glass of wine which I did not finish.\u00a0 I don’t think I even drank half of it, I was at my wine\/alcohol limit.\u00a0 I had the chocolate macaroon and one bite of the pralines one.\u00a0 I ate 1\/2 the chocolate macaroon and even that was pushing it.\u00a0 Good lord that thing was so sweet.\u00a0 It was like gaggingly sickly sweet after so many bites.\u00a0 I am so thankful that I’m not a sweets person aside from the occasional chocolate because I don’t have to worry about being tempted by things!\u00a0 However, the lack of a sweet tooth is balanced out in the cheese and savory snacks catagory.\u00a0 We all have our weaknesses, right? :D<\/p>\n

I hit the hay around 11pm but should have gone to bed long before that.\u00a0 Part of my problem is that Scott and I aren’t sitting down relaxing until later in the evening (between 8pm-9pm) and I want to spend time with him so I stay up later.\u00a0 If I go to bed at 10pm or so, then I only get a short amount of time with him in the evenings. :(\u00a0 I guess I’m just going to have to suck it up and deal with it.<\/p>\n

I forgot to show off the plate some of the snacks were on last night!<\/p>\n

\"Retro

Retro plate <\/p><\/div>\n

It’s a plate I got from my grandmother’s house.\u00a0 I have no idea if it was part of a set or if she only had the one because this is all there is.\u00a0 And it’s a dinner sized plate but I loved the design.\u00a0 Seems very art deco-ish, like something you would find in a 1940s kitchen. I love it!<\/p>\n

This morning I slept in till 8am and got Rocky out in time just before it started raining.\u00a0 It’s been raining pretty much all day long since then.\u00a0 After I took care of him, I headed staight to the office and sat there for 15 minutes icing my leg.\u00a0 Then I was able to start on breakfast.<\/p>\n

I decided to make a small bowl of oats this morning to have with my coffee.<\/p>\n

\"Oats

Oats on the outs....<\/p><\/div>\n

Cranberries, crushed walnuts, and some cashew butter mixed in.\u00a0 As I was eating this I realized that maybe I’m starting to become an oatbran girl.\u00a0 This bowl wasn’t nearly as exciting or comforting as oatbran seems to be lately. Oh my!<\/p>\n

After breakfast, I got dressed and started doing some laundry.\u00a0 Then I went around and started getting some stuff better organized.\u00a0 And I also went through the house and lit some candles.\u00a0 Very calming and relaxing on this gloomy dreary day.\u00a0 Plus it makes the house smell good!<\/p>\n

After that and getting Bobbi’s feature<\/a> ready for publication, it was time to make lunch!\u00a0 I wanted to cover all the bases today: Veggies, fruit, and comforting.\u00a0 I think I nailed it. ;)<\/p>\n

\"Hitting

Hitting all the bases <\/p><\/div>\n

There was Amy’s tomato soup to which I added some chopped spinach and leftover sausage from last night.\u00a0 On the side was a “fruit salad”.\u00a0 Mixed greens dressed wtih balsamic, honey, and a bit of oil.\u00a0 Topped with:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Kiwi<\/li>\n
  • Orange<\/li>\n
  • Blackberries<\/li>\n
  • Dried cranberries<\/li>\n
  • Pumpkin and sunflower seeds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    In the middle was some pumperknickle, moz sticks, and eggroll.\u00a0 I was only slightly hungry when I put the food on the table and didn’t think I would even make it through my salad.\u00a0 Not only did I finish the salad, I ate all my soup, 2 slices of bread, and the eggroll.\u00a0 :o\u00a0 I guess I was more hungry than I realized!<\/p>\n

    I’m finishing up laundry and then doing more things around the house.\u00a0 Including switching desks!\u00a0 It’s time to get this office in shape. :D<\/p>\n

    \"I'm
