Oh my goodness, I made this Creamy, Light Mac and Cheese for dinner last night, and it's freaking awesome. It smelled soooooo good when the squash was cooking.
I got a lot less done last night than I'd originally anticipated, but I DID make up a batch of homemade coffee creamer (Pumpkin Spice). We tried it this morning and Derek and I both agree that it's needs a bit more sweetness, but it's really good. I think next we'll try and Cinnamon Strudel flavour.
Tonight, Survivor! And I'll DEFINITELY be working out. Must. Must must must.
How is everyone today?

We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?

Re: Happy Hump Day!
This week has been pretty nuts so far, but I'm glad it's Wednesday. Last night, I worked late, and I'll probably have to do so again today and maybe even tomorrow. That's ok. It's the end of the quarter, so it's to be expected. Aside from that, not too much is going on.
Raynes, that mac and cheese looks amazing!
Good morning, ladies.
RECIPES!! I love recipes.
Beautiful fall day here - 63* for the high temp, and the Aspen are starting to turn. I love fall, but I'm not looking forward to winter driving. Bleh.
Have a great day, everyone!
Good Morning.
Last night I made it home late and me and Jordan had hair appts so I did not have time to cook the chicken I planned to cook. Instead we had pizza hut, but thats okay I am cooking the chicken tonight.
Today should be a fairly slow day at work unless I have to leave at lunch to take preston to the doctor. Poor little man just can't get rid of his cold. Mississippi weather is killing us. I am ready for fall or at least some consistent temps.
P.S. I wish facebook would stop changing. It was perfectly find the way it was. Why fix something that isn't broken??? I am a little annoyed by it.
Oh, I'll have to make that mac and cheese dish when Josh is out of town (he's not a fan, and that's putting it mildly). It looks great!
Nothing much going on over here. Met with my book club last night, it's still kind of slow at work, and I just put the finishing touches on my latest book review. Tonight will be a gym night, then trying to finish up the book I'm reading right now. It's a depressing book, but I can't stop reading.
Have a great one, all.
I'm back at work today even though I'd be happy to have stayed at home collecting my paycheck forever. Sadly, life doesn't work like that and I really didn't need to use up any more leave since physically I am doing ok. So, I'm sitting in my office with my door closed hoping that people will just leave me alone this week.
I don't really know what is on my plate for the rest of the week, but I am going to assume that I'll be busy since I missed two days.

Morning ladies.
Lastnight, I tried to change our living room around since I am sick of pulling the boys off of the back of the couch, and off the stairs (he climbs from the back of the couch to get to the stairs). I hate that there isn't much you can do with it. UGH. Oh, and Zach has also mastered climbing the changing table. I tried to catch him on video, but he would stop when he realized I was taping him. The little stinker.
Tonight DH goes back to work, boo! So it will be the usual routine, and hoping I can climb in my bed early to watch Survivor.
Have a great day everyone.
I have a HUGE visit that I've already worked 35 hours since Sunday in preparation for and still have to work every day this week... Hello, overtime!
The president of Chicos, FAS (Chicos, White House Black Market, and Soma), the board of directors, the CEO of Soma Stores, and a handful of potential investors are all coming into our store today. Talk about wanting to barf. Fingers crossed that everything goes well!
I may have to make some punkin pillows when I get home tonight. Baking is good de-stressing.
Good morning!
Last night I got some good studying in. I also made some blueberry turnovers for breakfast. They came out awesome!
Today Is my first day without my ankle brace. I am hoping all goes well today and I can get back to running. I really miss it and feel like a sloth with out it. If it is fine today I think I will take myself out for a walk/jog tonight on the treadmill. (It's raining here.)
Good morning!
I ended up using this recipe for chocolate chip cookies last night and oh my, they are rich and yummy. I'm going to drop some off at my next door neighbour's place since she has been super nice to us ever since we moved in. They have 3 little boys so I hope they enjoy them.

Good morning, ladies! I'm back at work today so I've been trying my best to play catch up. Reba - hugs to you; that was not the news that I wanted to see when I got home. ECHC - congrats! Ciaram - I'm glad to hear that you finally got a surgery date set.
Our trip was great. We had a lot of fun traveling around and being tourists. The wedding that we went to on Saturday was beautiful. I'm so glad that we decided to fly out for it. Yesterday was a long day though. I got up at 6am to pack and get checked out of the hotel. After a day full of traveling we finally got home around 9 last night. Today I'm really wishing that I would have taken an extra day off of work as well, just to play catch up, but we're in our busy time at work so I didn't want to push it too much. Tonight I have no idea what my plans are. I'm just trying my best to get back into my routine.
Good morning girls! Today is off to a great start, chilly fall morning, pumpkin spice latte, a coworker brought me a breakfast sandwich, and my boss is out of town. Can't get much better than this!
Tonight I'll be putting together food trays for the grand opening and hopefully I'll be able to catch Up All Night, that show is hilarious!
Have a great day ladies!
Today was much busier at work which was nice. Hopefully tomorrow will be a the happy medium. lol
A friend came over to see our new house after work so we are just getting dinner started now. I likely won't get to the gym tonight so I'll take it as a rest day. Hoping to get up at 5am tomorrow and Friday to get some good runs in. Might have to DVR Modern Family tonight so I can get to bed on time.
Evening! I had a crazy busy day...school was straight out from the time I walked in the door at 6:45, then I had a meeting with my co-Teacher Leader in the building until 4:30. I made it home by 5 and got in a 4 mile run and then made shepard's pie and brussel sprouts for dinner. Then Ed and I caught up on the DVR.
Now I am wiped out, but I feel good about the day, so it is the contented exhaustion.
