Surviving the Storm

How we survived this week’s super storm[s]:

Jazz vs. Mavericks game at ESA.

Eating Reese’s hearts while watching the Biggest Loser at work.  A new low, even for me.

Meal planning…sort of.  [This is one of my New Years Resolutions.  It has definitely helped me get more organized, unfortunately what usually is planned for Tuesday ends up on Thursday and Wednesday‘s meal ends up on Sunday.  But whatever, right?  There is a plan in place, nonetheless.  I even made myself a sheet to help…click on the link below the image to download.]

Meal Plan

Helping out the staff at a Wendy’s location in Evanston, Wyoming when a man spilled his entire super-sized beverage all over the floor.  The napkins didn’t help much, I realize…but the sign sure did.

Purchasing corn dogs and 8-Ball tickets for the Idaho 80 million dollar lottery…and losing with both, honestly.

Bribing deer with apples and then scaring them all away to check on them every 10 minutes…

Watching the playoffs [most importantly the 49ers game] at the cabin with my family…while getting a foot rub.  Football for Zach = Foot rub for Katie.  It’s a fantastic trade off.

Below freezing temperatures at Bear Lake.  -6 to be exact.  See those grassy areas amidst the snow?  Those are deer beds.

Taking the gorgeous road home through Logan Canyon.

Watching the Golden Globes and eating Manicotti – Zach’s favorite.  This was supposed to be Wed’s meal, by the way.

This upcoming week we have a lot going on – including a trip up to the Pines [Yellowstone] with Zach’s family over the weekend.  I can’t imagine it can get much colder than -6 degrees…but I don’t dare jinx myself.

This week’s assignment:  stay warm.

    I must admit, I’m a sucker for awards shows, especially movie ones. Don’t you just love Jennifer Lawrence? Girl crush.
