Simple Sunday

I am pretty sure I have the most sensitive body to caffeine.

I could not sleep last night; I think I maybe slept a couple of hours. I had what was supposed to be a decaf iced Americano around 3 p.m. yesterday, but that cup o’ joe must have been fully caffinated. Finally about twelve hours later, think I dozed off. I am going to be dragging today, but hopefully that means I sleep like a rock tonight.

Despite the lack of sleep I got last night, it was quite the nice little Sunday.

I got up around 6:30 a.m., worked on the computer, had breakfast, and then got ready for church.

When I came back home for lunch, I made a very flavorful salad for lunch.

I will be the first to admit I am not very good at making salads at home. I usually try to combine really bland items resulting in a very lackluster salad, but this one turned out much better.

Taco Salad

spinach, romaine lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, roasted chickpeas, salsa, and tortilla chips

These are the tortilla chips I used. They are local and very authentic-tasting. I highly recommend them. We have been buying these Taco Loco chips for years.

After lunch, Craig and I went to Kaladi Brothers Coffee Shop to “hang out” while we each worked on our computers.

I am still trying to trouble-shoot my Ecto problems.

While at the coffee shop, we both had iced coffees. Mine was supposed to be decaf, but it most certainly was not.

I got a nice compliment on my shoes though.

Craig deep in thought while writing cheesy puns to post on Facebook and make his friends laugh. . . . .he’s so punny.

Me all bundled up because it is still below zero these days.

It was nice to get out of the house for a while and do something different. Otherwise it is very easy to get cabin fever. . . . .oh wait, I think I had that back in November.

When Craig and I came home, made dinner, and got ready for the work-week. And so it begins.

Hi, I'm Michelle

I love running around the lakes of Minnesota, running after my two boys, and racing anything from the 5K to the marathon. I have been blogging here since 2010 when I ran my first marathon. I finally secured my sub-3 hour marathon after trying for 8 years.

    As a teacher, it’s SO important to get a good night’s sleep- and when you don’t- just getting through the day is the hardest thing ever. It’s those occasions that really make me miss having a desk job, where I could just hide in my cubicle. Not possible when you have to be “on” and “perform” for kids all day! Hope you sleep better tonight. 🙂

      I often miss having a desk job, too some (most?) days. Did you used to do something else before teaching?
