Winter Wonderland

Anyone else in the same sitch right now? 3 feet of snow? It’s absolutely beautiful, but I WISH I could get out…I’ve been cooped up for 3 days now. I am extremely thankful that the power is still on, though. Any tips on making use of my time with things other than homework/studying? I’d appreciate it :)

About 3 feet of the pretty white stuff right thurr.

What do you do when you’re snowed in?

Funny thing is, we’re supposed to get a foot or more tomorrow afternoon into Wednesday. Global warming, what?!

Anywho, being in this state, I haven’t really been moving much, which sucks because I get extremely antsy. Not gonna lie, I am starting to feel a little terrible about being COMPLETELY sedentary (besides walking around the house) for so long. I know it’s not gonna kill me, but still. I’ve been dabbling off and on with a few pilates videos online and such, but nothing keeps my attention for long :( Maybe I’ll talk a walk (or swim?) in the snow later on. Poor Cara is SO confused as to why she can’t go to the bathroom in the backyard…we’ve been taking her onto the driveway which my neighbor partially cleared off with his front-end loader. Thank goodness for thoughtful neighbors, right? :)

How do you deal with the guilt of being sedentary for more than a few days? I could really use some advice :D Thanks guys!

Also wishing I could go to 7 Eleven and grab one of these tasty thaaangs.

Unfortunately, bad news…my camera got stolen last week, so I’m borrowing one of my Dad’s cameras for right now, and I haven’t really gotten the swing of it yet, so pictures are gonna be experimental for now :P On the bright side – someone’s got a new cute little brown camera…although I do  miss it v. much :(

LOL wow…terrible picture.

Snackage has been delicious, as usual. Lots of yogurt messes (one above w/ banana and a crumbled Jamfrakas bar!) Also, pancakes have prettymuch become my new favorite dessert – I’ve been sticking with either Kath’s oatmeal (or in my case, oatbran) pancakes, or some other form of gluten free recipe. Delicious! Next week I’ll probably experiment with something new, though. Gotta switch it up…I get bored easily. Got any ideas?

What’s your favorite night-time snack or sweet treat?

Nana’s GF Banana cookie + banana a la OIKOOOS :)

Another delicious mess. I highly, HIGHLY recommend Nana’s Cookies - even for all of you non-GFer’s out there. They’re perfectly crumbly, and taste great alone or with yogurt. So far the lemon and banana flavors are my faves ;)

Yeah, I did.

Referring to the caption – I bought Cara a Snuggie. I take her on bi-weekly trips to PetSmart (spoiled much?) and usually buy her something small after we flounce around the store and she says her “hello’s” to everyone, and I couldn’t resist, plus it was only ten bucks, totally worth it in my opinion. She deserves it, and she actually seems to really like it. We’ve bought her sweaters and such before for the winter months,  but she always seemed to find a way to gnaw them off and get really pissed off about it, but I feel like she’s able to move around more in this :) Now just to find a Snuggie for myself… ;)

Do you dress your pets?

Asleep in her Snuggie + blanket on the way home.

Alright guys, I’m off to get some food and probably study for a bit. Nothing better to do, seriously. Praying for all of you that are snowed in as well! Be safe if you try and go out!

Much love! Stay warm!
