What I'm Reading This Week #4

Another Friday is upon us.  It has been a whirlwind of emotions good and bad this week and I'm tapped.  "I need happy hour...on sad days."  I need some Weezer and wine to slide me into this weekend.  On an up note, we've been walking almost every day this week even though it's felt like the arctic because of wind.  Looking back at calendars past, I notice a pattern of jumping into a new year all balls to the wall and then having very little to show for it on the scale and a lot to show for it in the pain department.  Next week, we'll be throwing some strength training back in for funsies.

Here's a wrap up of dinners for this week.  Beyond Burger and potato wedges.

A serving of Ina's Lobster Pot Pie I froze last month.

Fish tacos with Brussels.

Homemade Chinese with cauliflower rice.  (No bao since we haven't been to TJ's since we got back.  It was sorely missed.)

Orange roughy and the last sweet potato gnocchi (now we REALLY need a TJ's run)

Not sure what we're having tonight, probably something easy.  I do have some frozen TJ's ravioli I could thaw then make a sauce and pair it with a salad.  (Don't get set on that Mr.  I don't know if I'm feeling ambitious enough to make a sauce.)

Let's get into...

I would absolutely install a camera if I didn't already have one and then turn her in to the HOA for trespassing and destroying property.  Pfft!  There's always one in every neighborhood.)

Speaking of which, our Christmas stuff is still up.  I've officially beat my previous record, I think.  We're not any of the lucky ones getting any snow so nothing to play in.  I think I've watched all of Netflix and Showtime.  Now what?

Anything dazzling planned for the weekend?  (I don't know why I said dazzling.  Clearly I'm missing some sparkle in my life.)
