Sometimes, life hands you a day off. We had some plans for today: E was going to go to work for a few hours, and we were both going to go to the aforementioned candy making party. There were several inches of snow on the ground when we woke up, which scuttled the work plans. The steady snowfall throughout the day (and our not-so-great-in-fresh-snow car) led us to, regretfully, pass on the candy making.
Instead, it's been a peaceful day at home. I'm still wearing my PJs, if that's any indication. I made a big pot of coffee and a leisurely breakfast of pork and sweet potato hash. We bought some gifts online and are now close to wrapping up our Christmas shopping. Best of all, we decorated the Christmas tree! Since it's been several years since our last one, digging through the ornament box revealed many we had forgotten about.
Pretty soon, I'll get started on dinner prep. On Sunday nights, I like to make meals that produce a lot of leftovers to get the week off to an easy start. I'll make a double batch of "minis" (what we call this WOD recipe), some sauteed kale, and roasted butternut squash. We've got White Christmas on deck to watch this evening, with our pets cozily curled up around the room and the Christmas tree twinkling away in the corner.
