Look who went back to bed this morning!
Murphy and I went for a 30 minute walk around the neighborhood this morning and now he’s totally spent. He’s actually still sleeping in our bed. I’m telling ya, Murphy lives a very nice pug life.
I really wanted to curl up in bed with Murph, but work calls this morning. I didn’t get much done yesterday because I was running around all day, so today is all about catching up.
Breakfast
I started my day with a big bowl of oatmeal, which was half Mad Hectic oatmeal and half old-fashioned oats. As much as I love the Mad Hectic oatmeal, I find that if I mix it with regular oats, it holds off my hunger for much longer.
I also added chia seeds and two scoops of peanut butter to the mix.
No iced coffee with breakfast because we’re all out. 
I’m brewing some hot coffee right now though. I wonder if I can make the switch for today?
55 Knives
So, guess what?! One of my recipes is featured in a new downloadable ebook put out by Nick at Macheesemo! So cool! 
The 200-page book is a compilation of stories, recipes, and tips from 55 food bloggers. Each of us has a chapter and a story included. Mine is about my husband and one of his favorite recipes. The book is priced at $19, but this week, it’s only $14 (until June 1st).
Here’s where you can learn more and purchase the ebook: 55 Knives. Nick also includes some interesting FAQs about the project.

I’m the type of person who always…enjoys a good book and a glass of red wine.
I am the kind of person who can always put myself in the other person’s shoes and see their side. I guess I am trying to say I have the gift of empathy. It makes me too emotional and sensitive sometimes but I try to remember it is a gift.
I’m the kind of person who is always working. I don’t stop because my job doesn’t get done in just my office hours. And I work weekends too. I enjoy it though so I don’t mind.
… can’t slow down and rest. Even with a 103 degree fever yesterday, I was still thinking about how to cross things off of my never ending To Do List!

-can never sit down, take a rest, just do nothing

I’m the kind of person who always plans out her whole week ahead of time. I put my stack together for each day, lay out my workout clothes and work clothes for every day. I’m OCD.
