(The hole in the photo above is a gas line, which couldn’t be paved over, so it’s filled in with some dirt/gravel.)

Ahhh! I love it! You should have seen Mal’s face when he came home from work yesterday afternoon. He had the goofiest smile on his face””ok, we both did””because he was so happy with the final product. It looks so good! Hooray for a new driveway!

Workout

I didn’t end up going to CrossFit last night. The workout was running + Double Unders, and I did plenty of running on Sunday, so I “saved” my CrossFit workout for tomorrow night. Plus, things have been a little weird digestively (no blood, thank God!) since I ran 10 miles and then drank wine and ate crap on Sunday, so I figured taking another day off would probably be good for me.

Instead of CrossFit, I took Murphy for a 2-mile walk around our neighborhood, which was a nice and relaxing way for me to get some exercise”¦ well, for the most part. At one point during our walk, Murphy found a boneless chicken finger (like from McDonald’s or Burger King) on the side of the road and would NOT let it go. I kept telling him to “drop it,” which he usually responds to, but this chicken finger was much too delicious. I reach into his mouth to pull it out, but it was all slimy and nasty and there was no way he was going to loosen his grip on it, so I just let him eat it. What a butthead. He’s so stubborn sometimes.

Dinner

Delicious dinner last night! I made Honey Cashew Chicken and it turned out great. I didn’t follow the recipe exactly (the chicken was already cooked and we didn’t have any cornstarch), but I mostly followed the measurements for the ingredients. The recipe didn’t have a super strong taste of honey like I expected, but it was still really good. I’m sure you’ll see this one on CNC again!

After dinner, I broke into a jar of Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Butter. My mom and I were talking about it the other day, and I realized I hadn’t had any yet this season, so I stopped by TJ’s to buy some yesterday.

I added a huge scoop of it to some microwaved and mashed Sweet Potato Slices with raisins, and, oh my goodness, yum. It tasted like thick, creamy pumpkin pie filling.

Question of the Day

Just for fun”¦

Would you rather eat pumpkin pie or apple crisp?

P.S. Dogs in Halloween costumes. That is all.

P.P.S. I’ll have Wednesday’s plank/core workout in my afternoon post!
