just some stuff

Disclaimer: this post is a bunch of run-on sentences of random things that are going on in Winn land. Commence post: There hasn't been too much going on around here lately but I feel like what has gone on has been fun. This past weekend we had a love love feast (yes, love 2x) at church for v-day, that was fun. I tried a new macaroni and cheese recipe that I found in a magazine, it.was.so.bland. So that was a bummer (esp since it was the first time I'd gone to the trouble to make home made mac and cheese!). One of my best friends from college came for a visit, an unexpected but awesome surprise. For v-day Adam and I didn't have much on the agenda, it was a pretty typical Monday, Brennan and I went to our play group (and for the record, out of 10+ women who were there, I was the only one who wasn't pregnant and/or lactating! I clearly need to stay away from the water in this town!), and then later in the day I made B her favorite dinner, we put her to bed a little early, and then Adam and I got Thai take-out and watched Lost (thankfully only 1 episode to go, I cannot wait to get my life back and not be so tied to that dumb show!!). All in all, it was a nice day, pretty low key but nice. Today while B is in school Adam and I talked about going on a little date to get some lunch and run some errands, that'll be fun. Cousin Mike is coming to visit! I love having company, and now that we have a legit guest room it makes it all the more enjoyable. It will be so fun to have him here for a couple days! Mi casa is tonight, we're having breakfast for dinner so no new recipes to share, BUT for my "new recipe of the week" last week I made these carnitas. They were good, but I do think shredding meat is so time consuming and not my favorite thing to do in the kitchen so not sure I'll be repeating this recipe any time soon. Well, there you have it, my rambles for this fine Tuesday morning. Happy day to you! xo

(Kind of a random pic but Daniel had to leave super early in the AM so when I walked into his room the next day, I found this note on the bed, made me smile). :)

I love that you're getting into this New Year's resolution to cook more & sharing all your recipes with us. It's inspiring. Wish I could come visit, soon.

Ha ha on staying away from the water at play group -- when I saw your title "unplanned" a few posts back, I'd wondered if you were sharing that kind of news ;-)
