Jack Frost = late start

Happy-finally-Wednesday!

Well, the expected snow and cold weather arrived. Unfortunately, I didn’t get my snow day as I had hoped. I did, however, get a late start, so I took what I could get ; ) My husband was lucky and didn’t have to go in today and I was jealous!

I took some snow pictures yesterday evening before I went to bed …Picture 108Picture 109Picture 112

By the time I realized work had a late start, I was already dressed in my workout clothes ready to begin my day. So rather than going back to bed, I went about my morning anyway.

With my extra time I made French toast : )  I was reading blogs this morning and Diana’s post about French toast inspired my taste buds to crave it … thanks, Diana!Picture 125

I normally go home for lunch (as I live about 3 miles from work) but with the cold and inclement weather, staying at work sounded like the better option. I decided to pack 3 slices of some leftover Amy’s pesto pizza.  Pizza wasn’t my first choice but it did the job. Picture 131

Lunch + cube … I ate at my desk today and here is what I look at each and every day from 7-3 …Picture 134 

A few hours later when I got home from work, I snacked on an apple (I love apples!) Picture 094

I’m now off to eat some leftover chili as my taste buds and body are looking forward to the comfort of warm soup.  The temp tonight is predicted to be –3 with a wind-chill of –7 to –17 … yep, that’s cold enough for me! Ha.

While eating my warm, soothing chili, Julie & Julia is going to be our entertainment … I’m excited to see it. I’ve heard mixed reviews but the overall consensus seemed to be it was at least a cute movie worth seeing once.

Have a great evening! : )

    Oh Mine. Love the snows!!! we only get a few snow flakes last Saturday, even didn't cover the grass! so disappointed!

    The french toast looks soooo good :-D It's really a great idea to top it with some fruit ( I always forget !)

    We have snow too:( I don't like driving in it and it is freezing! I always eat at work-saves money, fat/calories, and time:) I always eat an apple for my snack too:)

    Bummer that you didn't get the full day! Love the looks of your french toast and the snowy pictures are so gorgeous, too bad ours didn't stay as snow, it quickly changed to rain!

    OH I cna't wait to see that!

    Today I heard that eating an apple is similar to a cup of coffee. Not bad! I got excited when I heard that.

    I saw Diana's post earlier, and I was thinking about it today actually. Kabocha French toast?? Awesome. I'm definitely in the French Toast mood now, after your wonderfully colorful photo!

    That first picture does not look real it all, it looks like something from a disney movie, like Christmas Carol. I wish I can visit the snow! :)

    I hate eating lunch in my cube but sometimes you just gotta give in.

    Those pictures are GORGEOUS! Looks cold but no joke, that 1st picture needs to be framed--like I would totally buy that in a store, it's so pretty! :)

    I'm sure if it snowed in San Diego I wouldn't be so mesmerized by it!

    Ooo wow you did get quite a bit of snow--the huge MN snow storm actually passed us up! :-)

    I love apples too..I chop em up, toss with cinnamon, and add to cottage cheese topped with a bit of cinnamon granola.
