holy crap!

thursday? already? so the headache continues and so do the car issues. I decided that whatever I needed to get done that involved leaving the house yesterday was not going to happen. "betsy" agreed and I let her rest some more. in her final days I want to make her as comfortable as possible. oh who am I kidding! I was scared to drive her any farther than a 5 km radius for fear that something would break and I would be stranded and freeze to death.

yes, people it is freezing cold out there! I may not have gone out, but I did have to let the dogs out and every time I did I got quite the chill.

yesterday I managed to get the laundry all done, christmas cards completed, and a secret present I am working on for someone special who might read my blog so I won't spill the beans was also worked on. amazing what happens when you stay in!

this made me very happy yesterday:



muffins! I found an awesome muffin/pancake mix which is locally made. I substituted apple sauce for the egg and coconut extract for the vanilla it was nummy! REAL muffins! it has been a long time.

this was my mid morning snack:



muffin, latte (REAL milk!) and applesauce. yum! 

focus on the good and the bad will melt away, right? perhaps I have been trying to focus SO hard on the good that I have literally given myself a massive headache? ahhhhh......and tomorrow? vegas! where I will witness his FIRST marathon! so excited for him! and hey, it will be pretty kewl to see elvis too! 

*pack lots of tylenol, motrin and don't forget sunglasses to protect eyes from all the lights. I am picturing a truly tacky, uber noisy place with lots of cheap food and drinks so that you will spend your money gambling. am I wrong?

thursday goodness...




made me some muffins! morning glory with pineapple, carrots, coconut, sunflower seeds, flax and the kitchen sink! I loaded these babies up. then to use up some of the bazillion zucchini that have come my way I made chocolate zucchini muffins. both gluten free, dairy free goodness. no special recipe here folks! I used the gf muffin mix from here and just made sure all the other ingredients were safe. YUM!

and in between batches we had some time to enjoy the sun and this silly mutt...



he has been driving me crazy going in and out the door and barking up a storm. seems he has lots to say about the leaves flying around and the birds heading south. busy boy!

and looks like he found time to do some sidewalk art!
