Breaking Up The Work

By Courtney 20 Comments

Spending four hours of my Sunday doing all of the grading the I procrastinated doing during the week = total bummer. Ughh. 😳 One of these days I’ll learn!

At least I was able to break up the work with some football & a couple trick-or-treaters. And I must say, I was quite proud of the fact that I only stole one piece of candy from the candy bowl! 😯

Then a little while later, I figured hey, a little wine never hurts either…

Oh yeah, and dinner’s a pretty good way to break up the work too. 😉

Jay and I decided a quick and simple dinner was in order, so we cooked up the package of ravioli that I got last weekend at Trader Joe’s.

I topped my ravioli off with some sautéed onions and broccoli (which were generously coated in some Garlic Gold seasoning), marinara sauce, and some fat-free Mediterranean feta crumbles.

To be perfectly honest, I wasn’t a huge fan of the ravioli. 🙁 I didn’t really love the flavor of them…must have been the mushrooms? Luckily, I had cooked up a boat-load of broccoli, so I didn’t feel deprived.

But even though I wasn’t huge fan of the ravioli, here’s a couple things I am a fan of:

Watching Cody fall asleep in the funniest positions EVER.

AND, the fact that I have this huge bowl of candy sitting in my house…

IMG_6033

with no more trick-or-treaters in sight.

Yeah…hubby was nervous we wouldn’t have enough candy after the 4th trick-or-treater came, so he went out to get some more.

That was about 2 hours ago, and we haven’t seen one since. Looks like it’s gonna be time to get creative in the kitchen!! 😉

Question for the Evening:

What do you do with your leftover Halloween candy?

    Keep it hidden in a cabinet, but to make sure I enjoy a couple of pieces once in a while. :) You can't deprive yourself of the things you love. Life is too short to not have candy (mainly chocolate)! HA! Happy Halloween!

    We have lots of leftover candy, too. It's all going to work with my hubby this week for the office to enjoy. P.S.Cody's a cutie pie.

    Cody is so cute! I would have a secret stash somewhere for whenever you have a sweet craving and then bring some to work :) We don't buy Halloween candy (for trick-or-treaters anyway haha) because I never have any trick-or-treaters where I live.

    I love Trader Joe's but I'm not a big fan of their ravioli either. Whenever I have extra candy or cookies, I bring it to work! My co-workers appreciate it, and I'm not tempted to eat them all by myself ;)

    Haha - i love watching my cat fall asleep. He is so cute when he curls up in a little ball when he sleeps. Sometimes he puts one paw over his eyes and I can't help but squeeze him.

    Freeze it!! Good job on only eating one thing, I wish I had your self-control. I am a teacher too and I get so mad at myself when I have to bring work home over the weekend, but we will never learn to just finish it all during the week:)
