We sure got a taste of winter today! Right after I got back from Atlanta this summer, I had a moment when I thought I cold handle cold, but I totally changed my mind today. I must migrate south. But, the wonderful news is that the heat came on in one of my schools today and it was blasting. I wasn’t just warm, I was hot!! Some of the older schools have great heat.
After work, I did one of my most dreaded tasks – I put air on my tires. One of them looked really low and once I got to the gas station and measured, all four were nearly 5 psi under! I’m not sure how bad that is, but I’m sure glad I checked. I hate that you only get a certain about of time with the air machine, and since I literally only had $1 cash, I was under a lot of pressure to perform! But I was able to fill all four and get gas, so I feel I accomplished quite a bit.
Then, I came home and made dinner [and lunch] for Matt and I. He’s busy busy with five interviews (!) for post-MBA jobs, so I’m trying to help him out a bit. The only problem is that I was rushing so much to make both of our lunches while dinner was cooking, that I dropped and shattered a brand new jar of banana peppers. I made a trip to Harris Teeter this weekend and was excited to get them for Matt – they don’t sell them at TJ’s or Whole Foods so we were especially sad to lose them:( Speaking of Harris Teeter – compared to my usual grocery trips, I felt extremely overwhelmed with all the options! I won’t be going back soon though, because many of the things I like (aka peanut butter) are actually more expensive. Oh, and the fresh apple I bit into today was rotten.

As you can see, dinner was another version of Caitlin’s Cornbread Quiche! This time, I used broccoli and added sharp white cheddar. I kinda ran out of cornbread mix though, so it wasn’t quite as thick and fluffy as the last time I made it. I just looove cornbread and I think the TJ’s mix is better than the fancy pepper cornbread I had this weekend. And I love leftovers – they brighten my day!
What brightens your cold, rainy Monday?

I've created this blog because I'm in a bit of a quarter life crisis. Since graduating from college in 2008 and earning an advanced degree in school psychology in May, I still don't know what career path to follow. All I know is that time is moving way too fast and I find myself living only for the weekends. Bear with me as I attempt to reclaim my twenties by finding pleasure and balance in the work week and incorporating my passions of food, fashion, fitness, and fun into everyday life. 
Tennis with friends brightens my sunny, cold Monday. Also seeing all the Halloween decor in my new neighborhood – especially the cheery mums! Do you have a garden at your place?
Agreed on winter, tires, Harris Teeter quality and TJs cornbread
Hot tea always brightens a rainy Monday for me!
Good you got air on the first cold day. Probably 2 of the 5 #s low were due to the colder temps. Check them again when lows are in the 30s.
