Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine’s Day!  I hope that your day is filled with love, kindness, and appreciation from your family, friends, pets, coworkers, and even strangers J
I started the day waking up next to my #1 love of my life.  He wasn’t being a bed hog, so I loved him even more.

I stopped by the post office on the way to work to send off some packages.  One is to the boyfriend that contains chocolate chip cookies (courtesy of the super secret chocolate chip recipe given to me by my Foodie Pen Pal last month), Jell-O Gelatin, and Jell-O Pudding.  The boyfriend is getting braces put on today, so I know he will be wanting some soft foods (yea, the package is going to arrive late….oops!).  The other is my package to my February Foodie Pen Pal.  I’m excited to see what she thinks of my goodies!


Since I had to pass by Panera on my way to work, I decided to make a quick stop and pick up a Blueberry Muffin (free! Thanks to myPanera!) and a Jalapeno Cheddar Breakfast Sandwich.  Is it bad that I ate both before my computer even had a chance to boot up this morning?  Oops…




I don’t have anything exciting planned for the rest of the day.  I’ll take my furball Valentine on a nice long walk when I get home from work—and then maybe hit the gym for a couple easy miles on the treadmill.  My knee was in excruciating pain after my Run for Sherry on Sunday.  I find it odd that my knees never bother me during the run, but as soon as I finish my run (within 5 minutes of finishing)—my knee is stinging in pain with every step.  It’s okay though.  I am happy to have ran in Sherry’s memory.
In honor of Valentine’s Day and being able to show your love and appreciation to those near and dear to your heart--I wanted to share an awesome Cook for the Cure Raffle hosted by Cassie at Back to Her Roots.  Cassie is raising money for Avon’s Walk for Breast Cancer.  Her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was in elementary school and is cancer free today.  Cassie is raffling off some AMAZING prizes including a KitchenAid Artisan 5-Quart Stand Mixer, Bob’s Red Mill Gift Pack, Whole Foods/Williams Sonoma/Crate and Barrel Gift Cards, and Chobani Sampler Cases.  You have until Friday, February 17th to be entered into the drawing (number of entries dependent on how much you donate).

  2. When I went to Florida I ate Panera every day!!! I think it was their cinnamon crunch bagel that I became obsessed with!! They finally opened one in Ontario but it's pretty far from me. That's probably better though!!! I probably would become addicted.
