Daily Check-in ANG: Monday, March 17th šŸ€

Listen, Blendies. Do I love you all? You know I do. Do I also love a good night of sleep? You definitely know that! And being that I havenā€™t woken up naturally without an alarm since I donā€™t know when, and I donā€™t want those of you who are hours ahead of me to have to wait until noon/evening, Iā€™m posting Mondayā€™s check-in the night before. So pretend that itā€™s 6 a.m. my time and that Iā€™m sitting under a blanket with my first cup of coffee!

A big thank you to Lea for keeping us going over the weekend. We appreciate you, Lea!

Right. Happy St. Patrickā€™s Day! Do any of you celebrate? I decorated, and I usually make some sort of Irish meal and read a bit to my boys about the historical St. Patrick. This year I made vegan Guiness brownies and it was a flop. The recipe said to only bake them for 13 minutes and that they were supposed to look underdone, but that theyā€™d firm up in the fridge overnight. Well they didnā€™t firm up at all, and we ended up eating them with a spoon and they were incredibly boozy! My boys told everyone at church that they did underage eating and I got them drunk off my brownies. Stinkers! šŸ™„šŸ˜† I liked the sticky texture, so I ate multiple spoonfuls!

Enough blathering about boozy brownies. Are you working out today? Iā€™ve got low impact cardio with Nicole and some more mobility with Kayla.

Even if youā€™re not working out, youā€™ve got to eat. Whatā€™s on your menu? My guys are having chili and cornbread. I have leftover BBQ tofu and cabbage steaks for me onesies.

Okie dokie, thatā€™s enough rambling! I hope your week is off to a great start, and all are welcome here!
