OK, great start to the morning so far, the boss’s son just pointed out to me that I might want to untuck the hem of my skirt from the back of my pantyhose. Grrrreat. At least he told me before I went outside and crossed over into our other unit….although I may have noticed myself when I felt the cold breeze up my backside! This on the heels of locking myself in the bathroom yesterday and then later, completely losing one of the days of the week. I swear, there’s a part of me that still has an intermittent brain injury caused by the events of the last year.
Anyway.
If you follow me on Instagram (ladyshanny) you’ll already know that I made and served a grain free apple crisp as our dinner last night. Don’t gasp, if you think about it, a grain free apple crisp isn’t bad! Apples: good. Coconut: good. Pecans: good. Almond flour: good. A small amount of maple syrup: not the worst thing in the world. All baked up and warm and fragrant on a cold, dark night: perfect. Eaten in front of a roaring fire with the Christmas tree lit and 70lbs of dog on my feet: too much good to talk about!
Tonight I have to do Costco (really starting to hate doing it by myself). And, I just cancelled some Friday evening plans which is a bit disappointing. My mom, sister and I were supposed to go to the Christmas Market in Vancouver. It’s an outdoor event and it’s going to be extremely cold tomorrow night. Add a Canucks home game and the annual tree lighting festival to the first-Friday-in-December Christmas market and you have a recipe for insane crowds, packed trains and long lines. So…..while it would have been festive (and freezing), we have decided to nix the idea. I was really looking forward to buying some hand crafted soap, kind of bummed.
In happier news though, my sister will be taking the train to my house on Saturday morning and we have a day of Christmas festivities planned including a wee bit of Christmas shopping, decorating the banister, looking at old (and apparently hilarious) photos and maybe a bit of baking. We also plan to head over to the forest near my house and see if we can take some (or get Ray to take some) sister-pictures. And then, after we’re frozen? This:
We’re planning to make coconut milk hot chocolate with whipped coconut cream and candy cane stir sticks!
Happy early weekend, beautiful people! The sun is shining beautifully here and if you turn your heater on you can almost pretend it’s not winter!
