Love Like Winter

♪♫Warn your warmth to turn away.♪♫

♫♪Here it's December... everyday.♫♪

Little AFI for you there. If you've never heard the song "Love Like Winter" go listen to it now. Go. I'll wait. 

I just think of that song a lot when it's cold out. It is also off the album Decemberunderground. Kind of fitting for the cold weather don't you think? I love AFI. They are one of my favorite bands and I'm currently listening to them and only them in my car. His voice is so unique, I can't seem to get enough of it.

Foodie Food:

Yesterday went really well. Since I had gone to the store I was prepared for any crazy hunger pangs. Plus having my meals all planned out always helps. I grilled up my portobella mushroom caps and they were delicious! I got really lucky because at the very end of grilling them my tank ran out of propane. BOO! 

I put on 1 oz of reduced fat swiss cheese and some BBQ sauce. I ate it on a whole wheat sandwich thin and it was absolutely delicious. Plus, it was SUPER filling. I was stuffed after I finished eating. I had also made tortellini soup to have with it and that was, of course, very yummy. 

Today's Menu:

B: Cinnamon Raisin Bagel, 1 T cream cheese, 1 c organic milk, 1 egg

S: Cheese Sticks

L: Tortellini Soup, the other mushroom cap with swiss and BBQ, WW Dark Chocolates

S: 16 RF Wheat Thins, Laughing Cow cheese wedge

D: TBD

Activity: Nada, it is orchestra night

Andrew and I usually go somewhere for dinner on Thursday since it is orchestra night at UIS. I'm not sure where he wants to go but I'm hoping for something easy like Subway.

Other Things:

I had the best night of sleep I have had in a very long time. I had gotten Andrew a nice pillow for Christmas and he goes on and on about how awesome it is and how he doesn't have neck or back pain anymore. So, I decided to get myself one. It is and ISO Cool pillow. Here's a link. It is magical. I also thought to myself, why not get a sleep mask? Sometimes I go to bed earlier than Andrew and then he comes in and reads for a bit and the light distracts me. So I added this to my cart. Normally I don't like sleep masks because I find them to be uncomfortable and they fall off. Not this one. It stayed on perfectly and I barely knew it was there. (Plus it's cute.) I fell asleep around 9:30pm and didn't wake up until 6:20am when my alarm went off. I haven't sleep that soundly in a very, VERY, long time. I'm super happy with my purchases and I'm looking forward to going to bed tonight. HA! 

WALTER!

So precious. He was very well behaved last night... until he peed on the floor right before bed. It is frustrating. I have devised this plan where I take him outside every two to three hours since he's still a puppy. He'll have to learn to go longer periods of time between potty breaks once he's older, like Caesar does, but for now I'm able to do this schedule for him. Well, it was coming up on that two hour mark and since I was getting ready for bed I was getting all bundled up to take him out. Nope, he couldn't wait two more seconds. Silly dog. We'll get there eventually.... I hope sooner than later.
