After eating a whole bunch of Pumpkin-Chocolate Chip Dough Balls this afternoon, I completely crashed and burned. I’m actually not surprised considering my pathetic lunch (salad + sweet potato fries) and the six sugary dough balls that I consumed. I was useless for the rest of the day.
Clearly, the pug was too. It must have been all of those Peanut Butter Treats! š
This is how we spent the majority of the evening:
Cute and cuddly, butĀ useless.
Dinner
Mal didn’t get home from work until really late, so we postponed Christmas shopping until tomorrow. (I know, we’re totally those people who wait until the last minuteāābut at least it’s not Christmas Eve yet, right?!)
Dinner was fast and simple tonight. I had a ham and cheese sandwich with cranberry mustard on whole wheat bread.
On the side: Kettle Backyard Barbeque Chips and tomato slices with salt and pepper.
Fast, simple, tasty.
So, I actually wasn’t totally useless today. I went to the gym, where I ran 3 miles and did the elliptical for 30 minutes. I also cleaned and organized our china cabinet.
Remember the Great Wall of China? Well, I finally put it away!
Pretty! 
Somehow, I’m exhausted after today, which makes zero sense.
G’night!
P.S. I saw your comments about a sugar cleanse. I seriously need one in my life, so if you’re game, I’m starting MONDAY!

I was useless today too. I need things to do in order to keep my energy up. I’ve been tired since 3!
A sugar cleanse will be great – too bad I have SO many baked goods in my freezer!
what is a sugar cleanse?
I am useless right now. Laying around!
i’ll do a sugar cleanse from monday because i see lots of sweets that will disappear by sunday
Awwwww…Murphy is so cute! My dog likes to cuddle on top of me like that too, except she is a 70 lb pit bull so I can only take the cute for so long before I have to kick her off so I can breath š
And HEAVEN’S YES to a sugar cleanse! I am a little nervous to start today though considering Christmas is 3 days away and then New Year’s a week after that. But then again, why not…The holidays are about more than sweets, right? I dunno, I might wait a week and a half and kick off 2011 sugar-free because it DOES need to happen! Keep us updated on what you choose to do.
Yes yes yes to the sugar cleanse!!
I will need a sugar cleanse post-baby. My sweet tooth has been out of control. Part of pregnancy, I guess.
The china cabinet looks gorgeous.
LOVE the cabinet! So pretty š I hear ya girl about the sugar detox. But tis the season, right? heheh
I think sugar = ’tis the season. A little (or tons) is perfectly acceptable this time of year š
your china & cabinet are beautiful!
I will so join in on the sugar cleanse! We can come here and complain when we’re all grumpy instead of taking it out on those close to us in person š
Holidays are meant for lazy days! Especially when they’re usually spent with a ton of hustle and bustle.
Yeah, if you tackled that wall of China, I would say you did plenty! I think we all need a sugar cleanse after this season. Dinner looks simple, but delicious!
Yes, sugar cleanse = EXACTLY what I need. I’m game.
It’s amazing how much better one feels without all the sugar! I could use a sugar cleanse for sure! …..if it just wasnt’ SO addicting though.
I need more deets on this sugar cleanse!! I’m DOWN!
Your china is GORGEOUS!!! I can’t wait to get a cabinet. Our china is still in boxes…lol.
ok i need to get back to my veggin on the couch. Glad im not the only one š
Count me in for a sugar detox! I need to “right” my system after all the holiday indulgences. With upcoming travel for work in January & 15lbs. (at least!) of baby weight to lose (and the baby is getting ready to turn 1!)…I could use the structure of a sugar cleanse.
I think the whole blog world could use a sugar clense! Buttt I don’t see it happening, we are all too crazy!
Sometimes you just need a day filled with cute and cuddly and not much else š
I’m starting a sugar cleanse after the holidays as well. It’s fine to enjoy them on special occasions, but I don’t want my sugar cravings to become a habit!! Dough balls are sooooo worth it though š
I’m probably starting a sugar cleanse next Wednesday oncee my family leaves, but I’ll see how I feel. Good luck when you do it!
A sugar cleanse sounds AMAZING! Gah! Especially with my half- marathon coming up in 16 days!
I think you meant to say “At least it’s not Christmas Eve YET.”
I think you did plenty. It’s a holiday!!!!
Yes, I agree about cutting out the sugar. Christmas is like one giant vat of sugar around here.
Aren’t you totally stressing? I’m going to sleep the best I have in weeks tonight cuz I finally finished everything today.
Sugar cleanse after the holidays sounds great but not before. I feel like I eat well enough most of the time that it’s ok to indulge over the holidays a bit!
Oh your china cabinet looks like something right out of Better Homes & Gardens!
I need a sugar cleanse!
haha. I was pretty useless today too. Every single time I tried to be productive, I would get sucked in by the computer. At least I got some grocery shopping done. Our bodies are probably telling us to get some rest!!
I am totally in with the sugar cleanse!!!
wow, that is a wall of china. Beautiful china š Sometimes you need the useless days to just…relax.
Murphy is too cute and cuddly. I love your china, is pretty. Sometimes a useless day is a good day. š
I need a sugar cleanse, too. I am eating chocolate cake as I type this! Monday sounds mighty fine!

i always crash after eating too much sugar in any form!
2 things – your china cabinet looks so country chic, like it’s straight out of a pottery barn catalogue! Super cute. And I definitely need a sugar cleanse, I think I’ve had something sweet every single day in December.
I think that Monday is an excellent day to start a sugar cleanse! I havent really eaten an actual meal I dont think since dec 1st haha! Just cookies I think that is a sufficent diet don’t you haha!
I’m in for the sugar detox…Monday? 7 days? no sugar? What should we do???
Aww, you and Murphy look so cute all snuggled up together like that!
I love the way you organized the Great Wall of China! š
I’m definitely going to need a sugar cleanse too… but I think I’ll wait until after NYE! š
I’m totally in for the sugar cleanse!
Your china is gorgeous!! I laid with my dog all day like that too š
Your china cabinet is absolutely to die for! I love it.
My pups and I have been having similar lazy, cuddly days. I think it is a rather appropriate reaction to the season.
I’m totally on board for a sugar cleanse too!
And I thought I was the seinslbe one. Thanks for setting me straight.
I need a serious sugar detox as well. The china looks lovely!
