My husband and my dog just left me in the dust! 
The three of us went on a 2-mile walk/run to the grocery store this evening. I needed a few ingredients to test a recipe for Sunday’s cookie swap, and my boys totally left me behind!
On the way to the grocery store, Mal and I walked and chatted while Murphy sniffed every single thing he encountered. On the way home, we ran 3/4 mile, but the last 1/4 mile, Mal and Murph pulled ahead in an all out sprint until they reached the front door of our apartment. Who knew pugs could sprint? Not me! Mal even admitted that Murphy was faster than him at times! Oh, my little pug athlete. (There’s another oxymoron! I’m full of ‘em today! 
)
Dinner
Mal whipped up dinner for us tonight. We had tuna melts with jalapeño cheddar on toasted Sandwich Thins.
And, also a pickle on the side. Seriously, how good are pickles!?!
Dessert is baking in the oven right. Smells SO good! I can’t wait to indulge! 
Afternoon Snack
I planned to stop by the mall on my way home from work this afternoon. I’m always hungry around this time, so I brought a snack with me, so I wasn’t tempted by mall food. And, I made sure to leave my Odwalla Bar in the car, so I didn’t mindlessly munch on it at my desk, which I probably would have done if I had it with me.
I love this flavor of Odwalla Bar! It’s easily one of my favorites. It reminds me of a nutty oatmeal chocolate chip cookie.
Hunt for the Perfect Pair
My mission at the mall was to find the perfect pair of winter boots.
Those of you from New England probably won’t believe this, but I have not owned a pair of winter boots in YEARS! No wonder I complain about the cold, right? 
I have a pair of rain boots that I wear in the snow (and, um, rain), but after 5 minutes, my feet are frozen. My father-in-law gave me a gift card to the Walking Company for Christmas, so I could (finally) buy myself a pair of winter boots.
When I arrived at the Walking Company, I was psyched to see this sign in the window:
Wahoo! So many boots on sale to choose from! 
So, which pair did I pick?
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
F.
Leave your guess in the comment section of this post. Have fun! I’ll tell you guys in the morning which pair of boots I chose.
Off to watch Modern Family (via DVR)!!!!!

I like D the most. They’re interesting looking. I’ve never seen Uggs like that.
I think you chose B!
I’m going to guess B or F. They are all cute though!
I think B or F. B looks like more your style, but F looks a bit more practical.
I think D?
D??? Fashionable yet practical and will go with everything!
I hope you didn’t pick C. That knit style wouldn’t stand up to Boston’s snow and slush very well!
I love pickles! Especially the “Sandwich Thin” ones, they are perfect on ham and cheese sandwiches
I’m voting D, I really wanna know!
I live in Boston also and I’m thinking D look the most pratical for the winters here… but who knows. We don’t ALWAYS have to be practical!
I’m voting D, they look very practical. Also if I were to get another pair of dog walking boots those would be them!
i like b
I like b a lot, but I feel f would be good for all of the snow.
I think D!
A or E would be my pick!
F!
I have some much like B. They’re warm and comfy but I love F!
I vote C
i am going with D
I totally think that you will have gotten D. or E.!! I love both og those pairs!!
D! At least that’s the pair I would’ve wanted!
I’m rooting for D!
Cute! I have a bulldog athlete! She really is rather athletic…for a bulldog, anyways : )
Love all the boots — can’t go wrong! Oh, and Modern Family MAY have been the funniest yet! Enjoy!
I say E because I like them
I think you picked B…….
i like C and E, but i’m guessing you picked F? maybe i don’t know!
♥ lindsey
you pciked C
I think B.
Enjoy Modern Family- last night’s episode was pretty funny!!
I think you chose A
B…second is E and third is A
I vote for D! They are so cute! And they look like they’d be nice and warm – and waterproof, which is key.
I wish we had Arnold’s sandwich things in Canada. I’m always so jealous when I see them!
I have D!!! I got them for Christmas and they are wonderful. No water seeps through and they have a great grip on the bottom that prevents slipping! I’m guessing you got either D or E!
I already tweeted this but, I hope you went with A or D
I’d go with D if they were for me!
D look the most practical, but I’m thinking you went with E?
Love the boots — I bought a pair of cute black Uggs a few years ago and wear them all the time.
F!
I’d say D, but they are all super cute!!
I love D because they are so cute and they look like they would be pretty weather proof.
oooh…hard call! D….or F??
E or F are my faves.
Can’t wait to see what your dessert is and what boots u pick!!
D looks the most rain/snow proof!
Love me some pickles! Kev and I found bread and butter spears last night and he loves them. But I’m still all over the kosher dill. Ohhh my!
I think you chose F! I really really like D though. Cool gift!
D!
i think E for sure
I’m torn between D and E! I think D looks super durable and like those duck boots that were huge in the early 90′s. I’m saying….E though.
For some reason I feel like D is the winner. Are you going to be disapointed if everyone likes the boots you didn’t get? For your fashion peace of mind I hope we picked the same ones you bought.
I think you chose “D” – However, any pair of UGGS will do! =)
I LOVE THEM – I have three pairs………………..ENJOY!
D or F!
My vote would be D. They look like your style!
I’m gonna guess “F”. Modern family is the greatest!
