Oh hey.
Sorry I’ve been a little MIA. The holidays are in full swing since I’m done with school, and we’re starting our trips to see family.
I’ll get you all caught up though.
Recap #1: The X-mas Party
The outfit (80′s office party chic) yes, Joe is wearing an ascot
(I wasn’t the only one with this idea)
So water cooler chat was inevitable
You can’t tell, but I’m wearing Christmas cat earrings.
The food?
Of course, some taco dip.
Layer 1- refried beans mixed with taco seasoning
Layer 2 – sour cream mixed with cream cheese
Layer 3- salsa
Layer 4- shredded cheese
Layer 5- Lettuce, Tomato, and black olives
And some personalized sugar cookies
Recap #2: Exercise Challenge Results
I finished the 5 day/week exercise challenge with a 5 mile run with my sister yesterday morning!
Recap #3- Xmas in CT
Joe and and I spend a lot of time on the road over the holidays. Our families are 8 hours apart from each other so we can’t bounce from house to house easily.
For the first leg of our X-mas tour, we’re in CT. We are going to Joe’s family for X-mas Eve and Day, but we’ll enjoy pre-holiday festivities with my family. We got a very exciting present for my nephew.
Can you guess what it is?
Lightning McQueen Power Wheels!
It’s a hit!
We had a big dinner with family last night. But I didn’t get too many pics
Just one shot of the best eggplant parm ever
Now I’m off to get in another run in the freezing cold, and spend some more time with family. The holidays go so quickly, don’t they?
Did you finish the exercise challenge?
Do you split up the holidays among family? How do you do it?
Jamie! The 80′s themed office get ups are great!!! Shoulder pads on a red power blazer–awesome! You worked it girl! It looked hawt. I like your gingerbread house
xo
Mindy
Thanks girl! Can’t take credit for the gingerbread house- my sister and mom made it!
His parents either love you or hate you for that present! LOL
I’m sure love though. Look how excited he is!
Hahaha, I think it’s a mixture of both. We asked permission before we took put it together.
ahaha i love the giant car wrapping job.. i sure wouldn’t have been able to guess what that was!
I did finish- even though two of my workouts were kinda lame!
I love your red 80′s jacket, you look like your straight out of Pretty Woman (except for that whole hooker thing). And I stuck to the 5 workouts thanks to you! Now just need to squeeze in at least 3 this week and try to lay off the sweets (my ultimate downfall).
You’ve been busy! I love the office party outfit. The eggplant parm looks to die for, too.
Way to meet your goal!!
Very fun looking gingerbread house! Have a great holiday!
thanks SO MUCH FOR YOUR SWEET COMMENT!!
and YOU, my dear, look freaking awesome as well!!! and i love those hilarious outfits!! those are awesome!
gingerbread houses ROCK!
