Home Days

Christmas was wonderful.

We opened presents, went to the gym for a workout, and then ate enough food for a week at Cafe Fleuri. (I dreamed about their Chocolate Croissant bread pudding for weeks leading up to Christmas.)

Since then, life's been getting back to normal, sort of. We got snowed in yesterday, so I worked from home, then roomie Emma and I shoveled and had hot chocolate with our neighbors. Afterwards, we went to an impromptu potluck at my mom's house. Every single person brought soup. It was fantastic.

Today I worked from home, starting at 6 a.m. Even with the early start time, it's been pretty great.

Tea is good for a snow day

I've been able to make as much tea as I want, I haven't changed out of my pajamas, and I'm finally getting to spend some quality time with our Christmas tree.

It makes me happy.

  3. I have been spending lots of time enjoying my Christmas tree too. And drinking gallons of tea (and the occasional hot chocolate with Baileys)

    Enjoy the snow, Abbie. Happy Holidays!

  7. Your christmas sounds like it was wonderful! And the bread pudding sounds amazing! I made some bread pudding for christmas dinner dessert, with apple, raisins, marmalade and whiskey. It sounds like a strange combination but was wonderful!!

    And also, I'm seriously impressed about going to the gym on Christmas day!!
