cozy up

I've been fortunate to have short work days this week as the kids' grandmother has been in town and very hands on.  Today I backed out of the driveway at 1:45 and ran errands for nearly two hours without buying one thing - just returning items and taking care of business at the bank (including closing two accounts that I haven't used since we were married!).  Since I was dressed I thought about going to the gym, but I could tell my body just wanted/needed to relax after four days in a row among the crazy resolutioners (though I'm not hating, it's just making me so thankful for my trainer's workouts that require only my rectangle of space that I can handle!).  Home was calling and I'll just go to the gym tomorrow :)   

I've had the most relaxing afternoon bundled up in my chair with a cup of hot tea reading blogs and actually leaving comments! 

I am trying to make a better effort of reading and commenting on blogs that I enjoy reading.  I am trying to slowly weed out blogs in my google reader, so that I can focus on the blogs I actually enjoy! 

Simple & happy 2013 in go-mode.  

I am also trying to make a better effort to use what we have, including leftovers.  We always have them from dinner (well as of late we do), so Rob & I decided to have a leftovers dinner night once a week.  Great in theory, but in practice this is what I end up with for dinner: 

Wine & cereal.  I'm just still not a fan of leftovers, but I sure tried.  Fortunately Rob does like them, so maybe at least some of them will get eaten and I get one night off during the week from cooking!

It's the little things I suppose that make my life great #simpleandhappy2013.
