Bogged Down

Yikes! My bloggin' has definitely been placed on the back burner lately with all of this homework I've had to do. Sorry guys. To all 4 of you. And, if there are more of you reading, I would gladly apologize to you too if you'd click that little follow button down there. No? That's cool. Just thought I'd mention it.

Anyway, things have been a little hectic lately as this was a big assignment week with my classes and I also put in more hours at work than usual. So, that in turn meant less blogging. Boo. Not a fan. I'll try to be better.

21/365: Monday, I spent some time with my kiddos talking about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. They're pretty young, so the concept was hard to grasp. However, they did tell me that he was a nice man who helped people. Mission = accomplished. Then we spent some time making rainbows out of pegs. Their idea completely. I thought it was somewhat fitting. 
22/365: Adam sent me some "emo" pics of our pets. I could not stop laughing. Love my fur babies!

23/365: Made a delicious salad this night. You can find the recipe in here. And, if you don't buy the book, at least buy this dressing. It is my fave! YUM!

24/365: Today was lots and lots of studying. These cuties kept me company while I read and reviewed articles on the origins of Applied Behavior Analysis.

25/365: To treat myself for all of my studying, I headed over to Tickled Pink and purchased some new (old) canisters for our kitchen. I am absolutely in love with them (shhh -- so is Adam)! The best part, though, was when I texted my mom to show her my find, she replied that she owned the very same canisters many years ago! :)

26/365: Saturday, I woke up with a cough and a sore throat. So, I had ice cream for breakfast. It helped temporarily. 

Any other recommendations for cough/cold/runny nose? I'm loading up on vitamin c and washing/sanitizing my hands frequently. Hoping this bug goes away soon!

Weekend at Home

11/365: So, this weekend was our first weekend at home, just the two of us, in a while. It has been so nice and relaxing. Friday after work, Adam and I ate a quick dinner and then went to see a movie. I can't believe it, but I agreed to see The Hobbit. Anyone who knows me knows that this is sooooo not my type of movie. I have never really been gripped by the fantasy films. Although, as I type this I realize that Wizard of OZ and E.T. are two of my faves. But, that's different, right? Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Twilight...those are movies that don't really interest me much. At least, I didn't think so.

I liked it. Like, really enjoyed all 2 hours and 45 minutes of it. I couldn't believe it! I am actually excited to see LOTR now (shhhh, haven't shared that with the hubs, yet). Also, I didn't eat the entire bag of Sour Patch Kids like I did at our last movie. So, that was another plus. 

12/365:  Today, my husband got up and made me some GF waffles. I added some frozen berries to them and they were delish! I couldn't even finish one! 

Adam's so sweet with his waffle maker. Fun fact: I gifted him the waffle maker for his 22nd birthday.

What a cutie! :) Also, now that I think about it, what a weird gift for a 22 year-old. His face kinda says, "Oh...cool. A wafflemaker. That will go great with my new bass guitar and metal CDs. You know me so well." 

I guess I must have done something right. I mean, he did ask me to marry him. He looks much more excited here: 

Yes, that's much better. 

Anyway, the rest of my Saturday consisted of running errands, football, and making dinners that remind me of my childhood. Tonight, I had GF macaroni and cheese AND chicken nuggets! 

Not the healthiest of dinners, I know, but when you are new to the GF world and discover breaded chicken nuggets youdonotpassthemup. You just don't.  They weren't bad (read: edible), but when you are craving some old school food, it does the trick.

Now for a full night of sleep and relaxing Sunday! Goodnight!

Yum!

Day 8: Forgetting my gluten free waffles at home this morning may just be the best non-decision I make all day.
