My productive day continued into the afternoon with errands, cleaning, working, and a trip to the gym. I don’t think I stopped moving all day!
Murphy, however, rested for most of the afternoon while Mal and I got down to business.
Murphy actually had an exciting afternoon. In addition to going for an hour-long walk with Mom and Dad around the neighborhood, he got an early Christmas gift: a Puppia Camo Harness! 
I didn’t think Murphy was the type of dog that could pull off camo, but he looks so cool! 
He seems to like his new harness quite a lot. Murph definitely walked around Southie with a new type of pug confidence this afternoon. I think I even saw a little swagger in his step! 
Dinner
Tonight’s dinner was a repeat of last week’s Pasta With Brie, Mushrooms, and Arugula. It was just so tasty, I needed to make it again.
This time, however, I changed-up the ingredients. This evening’s meal had broccoli, mushrooms, and baby spinach in the mix.
I cooked dinner right after I got back from the gym, so I drank from my water bottle during dinner.
Dessert was a really special treat: Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride tea! I can’t believe that I found it! After two winters of not finding it anywhere, I finally got my hands on my very own box. (The Whole Foods in Hingham sells it, but I bought the last one on the shelf. 
)
With my tea, I enjoyed some holiday chocolates.
Best dessert ever!

You can actually find most of celstial seasons holiday teas stocked up at Market Basket in Chelsea. They have a ton of Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride. I definitly stocked up on a couple of boxes.
Murphy in his camo=too cute! I bet he had a little swagger in his step, he looks like a bad ass!
I love Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride! It’s liquid sugar cookie… Ah Bliss. I made a Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride Protein Shake with it that’s just like melted ice cream. http://pimpmyproteinshake.blogspot.com/2009/12/sugar-cookie-sleigh-ride-shake.html
I love sugar cookie sleigh ride too! I also found candy cane lane at the store that I’m going to have to try soon. The gingerbread is pretty good too
A bit late but I ordered mine directly from Celestial Seasonings. The tea is unavailable in Canada (at least it is in my part of the country).
Even though this was last year, I had to recheck this post
I THOUGHT this might be the TEA! I saw it in the store yesterday…should have bought it! Will definitely go back to get some! 
Woohoo!
