Sometimes, I still cant get over the fact that Hubs favorite day of the week is Monday! Its not like I hate Mondays, but seriously favorite day of the week. I think not! Give me a FRIDAY!!!
This past Friday didn't disappoint. Hubs and I baby sat 3 beautiful kids and had a blast! Are we getting old?
Saturdays... I LOVE THEM TOO!!! This past Saturday was Hubs and my day to just be together! We ate out every single meal... who does that? Well we did and we tried new places! Breakfast (at 11am) we went to Tartine Egg white omelet for the lady, Salmon Tartine for the gentleman. Lunch was at a new restaurant in town Kabob House we split a Hummus Platter, Felafel's, and Hubs had some Gyro Meat stuff I wouldn't touch. Dinner was out with Hubs parents! It was a great day! Filled with lots of Fun!
Sunday we had a dinner party and now we are onto MONDAY, BLAH! Oh well, I am VERY thankful it SUNNY outside!
Yay for a Sunny Monday!

11.11.11
I am thankful for today! I am thankful for a great friend and her precious son who graced me with a lunch date! My friend Shelby moved away from town several months ago. We hardly get to see each other anymore, but when we do, we could talk for hours! I so miss our Friday morning coffee and walk, but am so thankful for lunches and hours of time to catch up!

10!!!!
Today is the TENTH day of November! I cant believe it... this month is nearly half over and I still feel like it is summer time (when I don't look outside and see the snow) Reality hits when I walk outside and feel the cold air or when it is dark on my drive home from work. Hubs and I were discussing the other night it is kind of relaxing to have it dark so early...
One thing I love about summer time is the abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables. But the farmers market is over and now we get to celebrate fall and all it has to offer. I found this great article on Shape.com it is 50 fall foods... it is a great reminder to the awesome food that is in season right now.
so today I am thankful for the change in season and that God provides for us in each season!

Day 9
Well we had our first snow of the season. I cant say I am excited about it, but what I am so thankful for is COVERED PARKING! It is a HUGE blessing not to have to clean off my car after a night of snow!
Speaking of Snow it makes me crave yummy comfort food! I think I am going to bring back Butternut squash soup tonight, in honor of our first snow of the season.
The other thing I want to make tonight is another batch of yummy quinoa granola
Enjoy! I usually put it over plan greek yogurt as it is high in calories but they are good calories.
Check out the Stats: about 1/4 cup, maybe slightly less

HAPPY DAY
Thanksgiving time is one of my favorite times of the year... the leaves are changing and comfort food is on the rise. I traded in my cold morning smoothies for warm pumpkin oatmeal. It warms my body and preps me for the day!
To get in the mood and participate in the season I am going to write something I am thankful for each day leading up to Thanksgiving.
Thankful For:
Yesterday was Time at home to clean and organize my closets!
Today breakfast with my pops and great conversation
I was asked what relaxes me and relieves stress?
walking
baking
chopping vegetables
pedicures
massage
long drives with hubs
laughing
lunch with mamma and sisters
In other news today is American Heart Association National Day of Health!
What are you eating healthy today?
What I ate Wednesday (WIAW)
oatmeal and egg whites for breakfast
Spinach Salad with Chicken, feta, and olives for lunch
Greek yogurt with chopped apple and strawberries for a snack
Dinner with Mom at La Mie (probably eat salmon)
Make one healthy choice today! Health starts with one change at a time!
