Treats Love

Sometimes I like to bring treats to work whether it's for a holiday or special occasion or just for fun.  Today for Easter I brought in Sugar Cookie Bars.  I whipped them up last night and they were super easy and delicious.  In fact, the entire tray was gone by the time I got back from my strength class at 1:00!  I was glad I picked a quick, easy recipe since last night after work I went and saw The Croods with my friend's son and went running later in the evening.  Luckily the recipe hardly took any time at all.  I don't think I mentioned this yet but the Stroganoff I made on Tuesday turned out sooo good.  And it really tasted good with spaghetti squash instead of noodles.  If I made it again the only change I would make would be to use less bacon to make it a little healthier.  

Delicious!

Equality Love

This blog is all about the things and people I love most.  I am fortunate to know and love many gay individuals (gay Americans if you prefer the Jim McGreevey parlance).  I believe that equal rights for homosexuals is the most important civil rights issue of our time and I hope that our current Supreme Court comes down on the right side of history (not the conservative right side, the correct side).  Everyone deserves the right to marry the person they love.  

Love my gays! 

 

Pilates Love + Healthy Substitutions

Yesterday I took my first pilates class in a long time and it was so fun!  As much as I love my workout schedule and the classes I take it was a good reminder that it's fun to mix it up occasionally.  After pilates I came home for a quick dinner before going to Cher's for DWTS.  My dear mother had made Smothered Pork Chops and Roasted Turnips for dinner.  They were delicious, especially the chops.  

My mom said, "aren't you going to take a picture of this for you blog?" so I did!

Train Love

Happy Monday friends!  Was your weekend an ideal balance of fun, relaxing and productive?  Mine was pretty close.  Friday I went running with Cher.  She made a new route for us and it made a huge difference.  We've been running the same route for several months and I think we didn't realize but it was getting kind of boring.  Afterwards we got fro yo and of course it was amazing. 

Sleep Love

Last night I had the pleasure of attending my friend's sweet son's fourth grade concert and it was so much fun!  I am so lucky to have Rachel and her family in my life and cannot wait for them to welcome their new little angel in a few weeks.  And wow, Dickinson Elementary puts on a good show! 

Thank You Love

SPOILER ALERT IF YOUR INITIALS ARE SECD.  I've recently posted here and here about the new shoes my darling Sam surprised me with.  Growing up, the rule in my house was, any gift you receive from someone who is not there in person needs to be acknowledged with a thank you note.  This means that people who come to my birthday party and bring gifts don't require an additional thank you in the mail since I can thank them in person (although it's always nice to do so) but any gift that arrives in the mail needs to be acknowledged with a TY note. 

Daily Outift Love

Happy first day of Spring.  It doesn't feel like it here but in honor of the occasion I wore a sundress:
