New Quinoa Recipe, 4 Miles, Ricky Gervais, Shower Prep!

Thanks you guys! I like the random facts too!! :) Happy Monday! Mine was a bit of a long day. I didn't sleep well at. all. and therefore woke up tired and crabby to rainy, dreary weather. Lovely! I just worked, walked 4 miles during lunch, worked more and then headed home to work on some stuff for my sister's shower! To clarify: the shower I went to for her last week I was a guest at. This one i'm hosting. It's a couple's shower and it looks like we're at about 30 peeps right now - so fun for the couple! I hope it goes over well - I've always wanted to host a baby shower for my sis! And now to share a recipe I made last week... loved it:

After making a few things for the baby shower (i.e. making cupcake flags, favor tags and Menu signs) I just read and hung out with the pups (Reuben got a haircut and little Remy got spay today.... poor baby - more on her and her hopefully quick recovery tomorrow!). One thing we did watch, to end on a funny note, is clips of Ricky Gervais hosting the Golden Globes. I'm sorry, mean-spirited perhaps but funny nonetheless - this many cracks. me. up. Check it out if you haven't already:

Q: Do you like Ricky Gervais? Who is your favorite comedian? He is so wrong he's right - I love it. I'm a huge fan of him, Ron White and Lewis Black. Many others too - but they're at the top!

Q: What's your favorite grain? I can honestly say mine is rice. It's just the bomb. HOWEVER, quinoa is so dang good. I wish there was microwavable quinoa for the lazy lady like me. Is there? Must google...
