Hey everyone, I hope you’re all having a good week so far! Not too much to report here other than a couple meetings (looking for temp work to make some $$ while I keep job hunting), small group, and a movie with a friend! (GO SEE PHILOMENA – SO GOOD!) By now I hope you all know what Thursday means around here –> Thursday Thoughts!
1. Molly has replaced me. I wrote about it before, but Molly is still obsessed with this stuffed monster! She normally destroys a toy immediately, so it’s really weird that she’s had this one for almost a month and just carries it around with her.
2. I can’t remember if I mentioned this (I know I instagrammed it) but I made egg drop soup a couple weeks ago and just made it again! It is SO easy and so good! This time I added chopped carrots and broccoli and it worked perfectly! (old photo)
3. Can we discuss how appropriate my post was on Monday? I almost laughed and then almost cried when I woke up and saw that this was our hourly weather:
4. My new favorite snack: homemade jello!!! I learned how to make it from A Gutsy Girl and now I’m using all different flavors of tea (I add a bit of stevia) to make different jello flavors. I’m kind of obsessed.
5. Another Molly picture – this is her “sad face” that she makes every time I leave and don’t take her with me:
6. One of my all-time favorite movies is Pride and Prejudice and I love finding quotes from the movie on Pinterest!
7. I have always been a huge fan of anything flavored lemon. When I was a kid we’d go to Bagel & Bagel (now Einstein Brothers…) and everyone else would get a cinnamon twisted donut or a cookie but not me, I would always get a lemon bar! I saw this recipe for Lemon Poppyseed Muffins on Hungry Hungry Hippie and I’m dying to make them!
8. Make the most out of your day!
Does your pet have any weird quirks?
Are you a lemon person?
What is your all time favorite movie?
Hey you! Thanks for lovin’ on my JELLO so much. So I got a new Banana Foster one from TEAVANA. And yes = LOVE!!! Have a great day!
Oh my gosh – that sounds delicious! I need to go to a specialty tea store to find some good flavor ideas.
Tebow makes the sad face too when I leave! 🙁 it breaks my heart!
Awww I know, I walk out saying “I’m sorry, so sorry, I love you!”
What is this tea jello? Sounds absolutely intriguing! We have a little Dachshund named Delilah and she destroys her toys! She can just get her little teeth all into the seams and slowly but surely destroy them. The squeaker is the primary goal, the filling is secondary. Otherwise she is a serious burrower. She’ll find her way under any blanket or pillow and loves to snuggle in the crook of your knees.
I liked to the recipe in the post! Haha and for Molly the stuffing is what she’s after!
Yikes! That is some COLD weather!
I do love lemon! I’m typically more of a chocolate gal, but lemon is pretty high up their on my favorites list too. Like, I LOVE lemon bars, lemon muffins, or lemon cream pie!
Haha chocolate is a pretty good choice too!
I love Molly’s stuffed monster. Our dog has a little sock monkey toy that he has been obsessed with ever since Christmas 🙂 Someone also got him a Lamb Chops doll that he carries around a ton too. I love watching animals play. They are adorable.
Awww those sound like adorable toys!
OMG, those temps make me want to curl up in a ball and start crying. Seriously Chicago. And my dog has so many weird quirks… The weirdest one is that he sits on the shower rug while anyone is showering and waits for us to get out. SO WEIRD 😉
Hahaha he probably just wants to make sure you don’t drown!
that egg drop soup looks amazing! & i can’t imagine ever being in temperatures that cold. i’ve lived in California since i was 4 and moved down to LA for school so now i’m used to even hotter weather. i would probably curl up under a ball with 5 million blankets, and not emerge from my bed for weeks if i had to go through the winter you’re going through!
left the wrong link for my blog in the last comment so i figured i’d comment with the right one! haha
Ahhh California sounds so lovely right now!
you’re such an amazing friend. i so wish i was hanging out with you this weekend! miss you love
Awww MISS YOU TOOOOOO!
yes love lemons!!
and oh look at Molly’s face — precious. Jax gives me that sad puppy dog face too, so hard to walk away from that!
Haha so hard to walk away!
I absolutely love lemon. LOVE. It’s the freshest, most tasty flavor ever. Molly’s sad face! Hahahahahaha too cute.
She’s pretty darn cute no matter what her face
