Let me see ya casserole

[Don’t be afraid to sing] I’m so glad to hear I wasn’t the only cranky pants today. Working out was exactly what the doctor ordered- I felt a thousand times better after some schweaty cardio and the holiday issue of Real Simple. Speaking of doctors, here’s my post-midwife appointment treat: Thanksgiving came early! I was…

Crisis Averted

Hey from the road to Cali! [Random: We always sing “On the Road Again” when we get into the car for roadtrips, since we’ve taken so many together. Except we change the lyrics to “On the road again, we’re on the $*&@&*(@ &*@(!& road again”] I ended up crashing last night in the middle of…

Just the essentials

Hi friends! Thank you so much for the wonderful birthday wishes <3 I loved reading all them and they made my day even brighter than it already was. I’m up late blogging since we were out partying our faces off! Ok, not really. I went to work, came back to the casa, showered (“I can’t…

Reader’s Request: Techie Training Buddy

It’s almost the weekend… and another day closer to being in San Diego, breathing in the ocean smells. I can’t wait 🙂 Lots of breakfast and random foods have been happening over here this week, because a favorite guy of mine had a flight upgrade. So this means open-faced sandwiches [Black rice bread, heated organic…

Dust off the mat

I did it. Something about hearing your stories about getting back in the swing of things lit a yoga fire under my booty, and I actually went to a class tonight. I had my yoga mat propped up by the garage door all day as a visual reminder (and it “Om”-ed at me every time…

Now or never

It was a lovely Thursday over here. Lots of Bella-snuggling, errand-running and getting things ready for the busy weekend ahead. After I tested out the Schweaty November Workout –should be up tomorrow am!- I snacked on many Popchips (I used to not like the texture of them, but they’ve grown on me. kettle chips are…

{Video post} Not a costume

Halloween ended up being a fun whirlwind over here: Teaching Zumba doc appt back to the casa to leave out candy for trick-or-treaters dinner with madre and nana   [Twist my arm, eh?] followed by some shopping… A lovely day indeed 🙂 Remember last week when I said night weeks are over? Apparently it was…

That kind of night

We found our Halloween costumes! The Pilot is a video game nerd and I am a sleepy blogger. I’m saving Bella’s costume until absolutely necessary –to take blog pictures on Monday- because she’ll hate me the entire time it’s on… She will not tolerate antennae for longer than 5 minutes. I think we both knew…

It’s already starting…

After a night of partying and piñata-smashing, I hit the snooze button a couple [more] times this morning. After making breakfast for the birthday boy and he left for work, I made some pumpkin oats. (Love that the 1/2 C scoop is a pumpkin!) Since it’s a special occasion –even though I’d do this on…

The whole canoodle

Look who I caught canoodling on the couch when I got home from work… So I did what anyone would do: cut in and stole her. Heh heh. She looks really happy about it 😉 Today was a doozy, but a good day. Breakfast and snack were frantically eaten in between classes (egg-rito, and later…

Found the power

I think I missed the boat on this one, but I still would like one of the obscenely large pumpkins that I keep seeing… [Shoe is in the photo for size reference] Did anyone out there pick up a giant pumpkin?? Maybe I’ll wait for next year, or maybe I’ll just go for it… After…

Quality control

One of the perks about making goodies for other people? Making sure they taste ok 😉 [Side note: roon with almond butter may be the most insane combo ever] Sending roons for the giveaway winner + a batch to an unsuspecting reader tomorrow! Today at work was my lucky day. I got to assist 3…
