Poco-Cocoa

Lunch: leftover pizza.

Snack: the last two Oreos. Time to go grocery shopping.

Dinner with Bryan and Jason at Cafe Express: some kind of chicken alfredo pasta dish. I thought it was pretty good, though probably very fatty. Bryan and Jason gave it two (sideways) thumbs up.

Dessert: mini-Reese’s peanut butter cup Blizzard from Dairy Queen. Jason is a HUGE fan of Dairy Queen, so Bryan took us there after dinner for Blizzards. They have these mini sizes now, which is good, because I usually just pick out the candy and leave most of the ice cream, and now I won’t waste so much. 🙂

Also, we had Bryan’s 7-week old son Anderson with us, but I didn’t take any pictures because he was fast asleep in the covered carrier all night. I did risk waking him up at the end of the evening, though, when I had no choice but to smother him in kisses. He’s so cute.

And also, it snowed!

Probably about an inch. This is nothing to most of you, who actually get a real winter every year, but we never (NEVER) get snow in Austin. Actually, I think last year we had flurries for about 4 1/2 minutes one afternoon, but that’s about it. So since the roads were icy, and we Austinites are horrible at driving in any kind of inclement weather, there were a lot of road closures, and more importantly, my office was closed! So I had the day off, which I spent making final book edits, napping, and reading. It was quite lovely.

Hope you’re all keeping warm out there – we’re supposed to be back up to 59 degrees tomorrow.

Breakfast: potato and cheese taco. I picked all the cheese off. My friend M. brought this for me – he’s really sweet.

Lunch at Clay Pit with Lindsay: buffet stuff (potatoes and peppers, coconut veggies, rice, dal, naan). The yellow lentil dal was so delicious. Aside from the food being great, it was wonderful to hang out with my friend.

Dinner: Pizza Hut! Justin has been craving Pizza Hut for weeks now, and I never let him have it. Today seemed like a good Pizza Hut day. I had half cheese, half sausage-mushroom. Justin had pineapple-jalapeño and Buffalo wings. We have a TON of pizza leftover.

I’m still trying to get used to this cold weather. We live in a very small place, but we only have one space heater, so it gets chilly at night. We turn the oven on when we’re in the living room, and we threw extra blankets on the bed. I’ve been falling asleep hugging the heating pad, and then Justin turns it off when he comes to bed. It’s not worth getting another heater – it’s supposed to be back in the 60s by Sunday. Crazy Texas weather.
