I was never so happy as to see Friday arrive! I was all braced for snow, even wore my snow boots to work, and we didn’t get one flake🤣. I’m not complaining though!
Teaching:
I love how I mentioned a storage problem I was having to my mom yesterday and this morning I got to work to texted suggestions of what to do😍. We haven’t quite got the solution to how to store all these loose parts materials, but hopefully we’ll hit upon it soon!
My students were quite upset when there was no more penguin picture of the day (we ran out of types to look at), so today, we watched a penguin short video of the day. It was a great way to start the day:)
We wrote our Friday top ten list, had gym and tackled some more adding. This afternoon my students started building a home for Roz and Brightbill (The Wild Robot characters) with their big buddies. It was neat to see them all dive in!
Exercise:
After work I met up with L for a workout. It’s been a while and it felt great to get a good workout in. I have to admit I didn’t love going my cardio on the elliptical though! We did cardio intervals, then squat thrusters, squat jumps with overhead press, sit up with Russian twist and plank up downs, squat with front press and plank rows. It was enough for the first workout in a month!
Eating:
I had asked if L wanted to do dinner at the Green Mustache the other night, but it was too late, so we went tonight after our workout instead. I was really craving comfort food, and told them they should offer Mac n cheese! However tonight I had the chili which turned out to be really good! It’s probably the best tho g I’ve had so far and it was a big serving as I was too full to try one of their delicious desserts.
Knitting:
My movie date with a friend was cancelled so I’ve had a quiet night st home. I’ve been knitting the handwarmers. I thought I was done until I realized one was two rows shorter than the other. I couldn’t leave it and took it apart to add the two rows. Hopefully I’ll be done by tomorrow!
Well I’m off to ponder whether it is wrong to order grocery delivery when I live across the street from the grocery store???
Have fun!

I really like the grocery delivery. Makes it easy to stick to the list. Happy Weekend!
Thanks for your input! I was thinking it would stop impulse shopping:)
I’m guilty of ordering from places across the street from me. We have a pizza place and a Chinese place right across the street and I order delivery from them all the time. The rare exception is when I want wine and have to run to Target which is in the same plaza. Then I’ll pick it up myself.
Thank you! You’ve made me feel better:)
LOL if you live across from the grocery just go especially if they were expecting a snow storm call it a act if kindness..lol
The snow never materialized and I found out the grocery store across the street doesn’t deliver:(
If your feelings on food shopping are the same as mine, definitely order. LOL. I hate the chore. I like it if it’s quiet but I always get annoyed by other people and crap service
Lol I used to have a friend who would pick me up Saturday mornings and take me when she went as she knew I wouldn’t go grocery shopping otherwise!
Food looks so yummy and hope your storage solution works out. I am moving from a 3 bedroom house to a 1 bedroom apartment when I move to Colorado so I’ve been thinking a lot about “storage solutions” in addition to major downsizing of my stuff 🙂
Wow that will be a big downsizing! Storage seems to always be a problem for me and I don’t feel like I keep much other than my knitting supplies
That chili looks amazing! Happy weekend!!
It was really good! Have a great weekend!
Have you ever done The Penguin Dance by Jack Hartman with your students? So fun! 💖
Oh no I haven’t. I’ve used him for math and socials regularly but didn’t know about that!
It’s just a fun dance. My daughter loves it!!
Ill have to try that out next week!
Ok. Let me know how it goes. 💖
glad things went well at school today. I love that your students are enjoying their research so much. I can’t justify the price of delivery, but I don’t mind shopping. I am pretty good about not impulse buying much if I bring a list with me. Plus walking around the store burns calories!
I ended up going grocery shopping today. I really should have waited until tomorrow when I would have had a list, but I was already out
The Green Mustache is quite a name for an eating establishment.
I know! I wonder where it comes from?
I’m not sure I want to know. John has had a mustache for 50 years. Son John $ had a big mustache and beard for a while, and things got caught in his.
My dad has always had a mustache and it’s often out of control. I don’t think I want to think of that meaning either!
The idea of grocery delivery is something I have wanted to try myself. There are times when it is just so difficult to get to the store. Give it a try. Maybe wait for a day when you really, really don’t want to deal with people! (I have a lot of those!)
Lol I went today so I won’t be getting delivery this week. Maybe it would be cheaper if I was out of the store!
It would be cheaper for me, FOR SURE! My 23yo son likes to shop with me; he is a personal trainer and can eat me out of house and home.
Lol yup any young man seems to be a bottomless pit!
Oh AJ you crack me up, grocery delivery from across the street! Stay warm this weekend!
Lol I ended up going and buying my groceries after my run today. Now I’m like a lizard soaking up the sun on my couch!
Your dish looks amazing. Grocery delivery is life changing for sure.
That’s what my friend Lyndsay said too. It didn’t happen this weekend, but maybe soon
We don’t do it all the time as there is an upcharge but it sure comes in handy when you’ve got a busy day!!
I might try it out when it snows:)
We’ve used it on rainy days. It’s so nice.
Oh that would be a good idea!
That is handy having delivery across the street – I wouldn’t have to stock up with everything in the Fall … that dinner looks delicious!
The dinner was delicious. Unfortunately the store across the street doesn’t deliver:(
Well that’s a bummer – especially when you have torrential rain. My Meijers now delivers – I don’t remember the minimum order … maybe $35.00 or $45.00? You pay $100.00 per year for the service which really is not bad when you think of it, especially for housebound seniors or someone who has difficulty getting their groceries in.
I really don’t have a problem going, just hate doing it:(
Me too.
Your food looks yummy! Sounds like a great day! A penguin video definitely sounds like a wonderful start to the day 🙂
It was a nice way to ease into the day:)
I bet it’s relaxing to knit on a winter’s night!😊
It is:) I’m hoping to knit on a winter’s day today!
That’s cute that they were so attached to the penguin pics!! But I know a movie would certainly suffice 🙂 Oooo that chili looks like a great healthy comfort food option! MMmm! Thanks for sharing, AJ !
The chili was so good!
