Blogger Love in a Package

Boy, did I feel the BLOGGER LOVE today!!!

Early this morning, I mailed the Valentine’s Day Scavenger Hunt care packages to the winners. I’m excited about the goodies that I picked out– I really hope the winners like what’s inside!

When I arrived home from work, I was greeted by not one, but two packages! 

The first was from my “Secret Cupid:“ Heather from Hangry Pants!!! I was especially excited to receive my secret Valentine’s Day gift from her because I read her blog every day.

Heather totally spoiled me with the goodies she sent: granola planks, fun V-Day socks, chocolate kisses, and a polka-dot bowl. 

I’m totally in love with the bowl that she gave me! It reminds me a lot of my polka-dot oatmeal bowl, but much cuter! THANK YOU, HEATHER!!!!! You put the biggest smile on my face today!

FYI: The best part of Heather’s V-Day gift package is at the end of this post!

Package #2 was awesome as well! Recently, Laura (a reader) and I did a bar exchange with one another. She lives in an area where Larabaras are hard to find, so I sent her a package with all sort of bars, including Larabars. Today, I received her package with Zbars, a breakfast cookie, and a coupon for a Think Bar. THANK YOU, Laura!!! I’m super excited to try the breakfast cookie! I do love cookies for breakfast!

Dinner

While I was at the gym this evening (I did the 45-minute treadmill run), Mal cooked dinner for us. He made Annie’s Mac & Cheese with TJ’s turkey meatballs and steamed spinach. 

My plate with a refreshing glass of POM + soda water… 

Dessert

As part of my V-Day package, Heather baked Barney Butter/Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Olive Oil Muffins!!! The name is quite a mouth-full, but HOLY YUM! They’re the perfect mix of ingredients– all in one single muffin! 

I just ate one of these delicious treats, and I am already considering having another one. Heather is a baking goddess in my book! Thanks, again, Heather!!!!!!!!!!

It’s SO bedtime for me!!! G’ night!
