i love that i had monday off because today felt like a monday at work, but it was really tuesday, and tomorrow i will already be half way done with the work week.
i am lobbying for mondays off permanently. think my boss will go for it?
because i had the day off yesterday, i didn’t open my laptop all day long and instead, i went snowboarding. sometimes you just need to enjoy the great outdoors!
before hitting the slopes, i had breakfast:
oikos greek yogurt with some ancient grains granola and peanut butter.
wheat toast with peanut butter and homemade raspberry jam. this is, hands down, my favorite thing to put on toast.
my friend jessica and i went to the canyons. it was a gorgeous sunny day!
we met up with jessica’s fiance, simon, and took some runs.
turns out that although it was a nice day, the snow wasn’t exactly spectacular. after a few runs, we decided to get some food and bask in the sun.
i went with the veggie chili, loaded with cheese and onions.
delicious.
baskalicious.
after snowboarding, i picked up some chipotle for me and the mister. i basically ate all day yesterday.
we watched adventureland while our chipotle digested and then headed to the bar for jessica and simon’s engagement party.
congrats to the happy couple! aren’t they so gorgeous? they are going to make some cute babies one day.
i didn’t drink any booze at the bar, but i definitely ate more food. i mean, why not? marshall had cheese fries and vanilla frozen custard, which i had my fair share of.
i tried to get to bed at a decent hour since i had to be to work in the morning, but i managed to stay up past midnight. i always have the hardest time getting to bed early after the weekend! it made this morning rough. but knowing that there are only 3 more days of work until the weekend make it all okay.
i’ll be back later, it’s dinner time so i have to go eat more food.
Qs~
1. to the working folks: how many days a week do you work? i am a monday through friday, 8:00-4:00 gal. although i would be SO down to work four 10’s.
2. what’s your favorite thing to put on toast? see above for my two cents.

I do 5 8 hour days, but I could totally do a condensed work week! My favorite topping is just plain buttah!
Right now, I am obsessed with putting hummus and guacamole on toast. Like… obsessed.
I love your googles! I need to get some new ones, mine have been fogging up inside for no reason.
i do m-f 9-5pm i would do 4 10hr days as well, that last day is just such a waste ;)
Ah, snowboarding! I haven’t gone in 2 years–I need to get back out there.
I hope to work 8-4 once I’m in the working world! Even though I love staying up late, I’d rather get home at a decent hour and get up earlier!
As for now, I only work one day a week from 9-5 and classes take over my other days.
9-whenever for me but for the most part 9-5 pm. I love strawberry jam yum!!!
Working at home as a contractor can really suck balls, and sometimes I work 7 days a week. Not all day all 7, but way too much to make in order to make ends meet. I am actively seeking other employment to get me through school, and I’m actually going to be filing the big B this year which should actually serve to help me substantially. Just blows me away that they want $1800 in order for you to say you have no money. Grrrr.
Peanut butter and honey on toast. And lately peanut butter and maple syrup, eaten with a fork. Mmmmm.
Ahhh you boarder chick you! I had off yesterday too, but I spent it being mad lazy. I work 5-8’s but I have the option of doing 4-10’s…I don’t like leaving the pup that long at home though so I stick with crazy 8’s.
looks like such a fun day!!! That chili looks like it was so warm and hearty!
I really want to try snowboarding whenever I see your snowboarding pictures!
I have a weird schedule since I’m student-teaching for a year. Before this, I worked 6 days a week, 7-8 hours a day. Hated it. Once I start teaching, my schedule will be 7am-3pm M-F with summers off! Woo!
I work 7 days a week pretty much. It sucks :(
Peanut butter on toast all the way ;)
So nice to have Monday’s off. I just realized I have one coming up. Martin Luther King day I believe? That’s one of the benefits of working for a bank. All of the government holidays can be taken advantage of.
Cinnamon toast! Love!
I almost always put pb and fruit on my toast. Apples, pears, peaches, sliced berries. It’s like pb&j toast, but with a much bigger bite and less added sugar.
Favorite thing on toast: pb and jam. LIKE YOU! :D
I can’t believe it’s Tuesday evening already. Time is flying by.
i love peannut butter and eggwhites on toast…sounds wierd but it works! the flavors and textures work SO well together and I love it!
that veggie chili looks darn good!!
congrats to your friends, they will surely make pretty babies one day!! (just like you and the mister :) )
Gah, I would kill to work 4 10’s as well. I work m-F 8-5A, meh. Your day looks like so much fun–I want cheese fries and custard! I love all the beautiful onions on the chili as well.
Best toast topping=Laughing Cow and cherry preserves!
I have 3 rotating shifts at the hospital: M-F 8:00-4:30, M-F 6:30-3:00, and M-Th 9:00-7:30. All the shifts have their pros and cons, but I like that they all rotate and give me a little variety!
Fave toast topping: avocado and jam!
Looks like you had lots of fun! I’ve never been snow skiing. I’m a Mon-Fri 7-4 gal. I would love love love to have Mondays off (or Friday). I’m a firm believer in 4-day work weeks ;-)
I would be super down for 4 10’s too. That would rock my world. I currently work M-F 7-4. Blah.
Fave thing to put on toast – whipped cream cheese and apricot preserves. LOVE.
Honey Butter sounds pretty awesome right now : )
I am a 9a-5p Monday – Friday. I firmly believe that I devote way too much of my life to my job, I wish I could work less….
gosh this makes me miss living in Denver…love the mountains, just not too good with the snow – driving in it ;)
I work 4 10’s and I do not like it…I think that if I didn’t have kids I would like it, but since I work 8-6..I am putting them on the school bus and then getting home at dinner time…we eat, do baths, read and then bed…I don’t get much time for them..and there i no time for me at that point. I do have Tuesdays off..but I find that I am cramming dr’s appointment, grocery shopping, Target runs in on that day…Sometimes I feel like..if I worked an 8 hr day I would have more time at home and more time to unwind…
My favorite thing to put on toast is a layer of butter and then top that with a layer of apple butter or strawberry jam. So good!
As far as working is concerned, I’m a graduate assistant right now while I’m in grad school, so I’m only working 20 hours a week.
I work at my office job 2.5 days a week, but I train at least 1 or 2 clients about 5 days a week!
I work 7 days a week at my paid job.
And 7 days a week at my unpaid one, i.e. mom, wife, cook, cleaner, etc.
I will work this pace until all my debt is paid and I have a certain sum saved. Period. I am ruthless :) or maybe insane.
The onions in that bowl….omg, i am lol’ing i hope everyone else was eating onions too…haha!
camera question…what setting do you put on your rebel for taking food pics, do you use the macro setting? and if so how far back/close do you stand? I am off auto settings and playing aorund with the P and the macro setting.
I also need to buy the 50mm 1.8 lens that everyone has and likes for about $100. Do you have that one? Sorry for all the cam questions but your pics inspire me!
Been reading your blog for awhile; haven’t commented much before.
I work as a teacher, so usually about 7:30am-4pm, 5 days a week. Plus probably about 10 extra hours a week at home, getting stuff ready. Four 10’s would rock! But summers off are pretty nice too… :-)
I am a waitress and work 4x a week plus clean the restaurant once a week.
I also do laundry for a wealthy lady 3x a week 4 hours each day- crazy, right? It’s good money too!
PB and homemade jam on toast is my FAVE. Homemade jam makes you detest all store bought jams…I think I’m tainted now. The slopes look amazing! So fun :)
I worked 4 10s when I was planning my wedding, but my boss put me back on 9-5. Boo.
I love hummus on toast. Mmmmm.
I’m still an estudiante so no full work week schedule for me. Which has its pluses and minuses obviously, but I have no Friday classes so hoorah for 3 day weekend! I’m crossing my fingers for your perma Mondays off. Maybe someday it’ll just magically happen. Who knows right?!
Toast is good topped with ANYTHING. Why the heck don’t I eat toast more. Sometimes I just love toast straight up plain. Sometimes just with a bit a butta. Sometimes with CHEESE. So good with cheese.
Your food pictures are ridiculous! I’m full…but you are getting me hungry! Lol
If you look at it from far away your chilly looks like frozen yogurt with candy! haha
lucky! i’d do just about anything for the 8-4 schedule…i’m M-F 8-5…blah. but the company’s not too shabby, so it works :) and favorite thing on toast? probably either butter and honey or butter and strawberry jam…YOM!
i’m monday-friday 8-430, just today i got a promotion and raise, so things are definitely turning up!
I love strawberry jam or nutella on toast!
I would never want to work 4 10’s….I wouldn’t have time to fit everything into my daily schedule. When would I cook? When would I workout?
Currently I work 7:30-4:00. 7:30 is too early!!
I work M-F 8:30-5:30 with an hour lunch break. My first job was T-F, 9-7 and having every Monday off was wonderful!
I’m commenting again to tell you my husband’s awful work schedule. He works Wed-Fri 3:30 am – 12:30 pm and then Sat and Sun 2pm – 11pm. Sucks.
I just have to say I love that you snowboard. It’s so cool to see a blogger do a different kind of sport! Brent did 4 10s the first year we were married. It was nice with a new baby. Now it’s even better and he works from home. LOVE. IT.
My favorite thing to put on toast is jelly! :) Or a little bit of butter and a LOT of cinnamon! :)
Those raw purple onions make me want to throw up in my mouth!
Such a fun day with you !!! I love doing stuff with you always. We should do fun stuff together every Monday. I”ll have a word with your boss. xoxox
GET IN MY POCKET.
i work five days a week but I have multiple jobs each day. I teach cooking at schools to days a week and I’m a private chef five days a week for about four hours at a time. I like my hours because I can sleep in or work out in the mornings.

i love that you can go to the snow for the day, thats way past awesome
Haha I don’t have to go anywhere for it.. there’s tonssss in my yard right now!
I work monday-wednesday 8-5, then thursday-saturday 12-9, I’m a workaholic and I’m not even 18 yet..
And my favvv thing on toast.. Which everyone finds weird.. Has got to be salad cream,banana and lemon! Don’t knock it til yourve tried it ;)

I love putting any kind of nut butter on toast, but when I’m being “bad” I like frosting on toast. ;]
I work 7-5 M,T,TH,F and 7-12 on Wed. BUT I JUST PUT MY TWO WEEKS NOTICE IN!! Wahoo! Pursuing my dreams!
Toast..I dont eat often enough because I’m gluten-free anddd those loaves are expensive! But, back in the day I liked butter and honey. Warm ooey-gooey!
Looks like a fun day! And that veg chili? YUM. I love how many onions they put on top- I would be in heaven! Congrats to the couple! They are totally adorable.
1. to the working folks: how many days a week do you work? I work 5 days but I work 75% time, so my Mondays and Fridays are shortened, and then I teach at the gym
2. what’s your favorite thing to put on toast? I either like it plain or with jelly
I love Nutella on my bread.. but I’ve also been a been fan of just butter and cinnamon.
Adventureland was filmed at the amusement park in my city :)
I hope you enjoyed it!
Pittsbugh is amazing! :)
I work MF – 7-4. We should be getting 1 work from home day a week soon.
Wanted to let you know I received my coffee press cups Monday – can’t wait to try them out! Thanks again!
I work too much. I officially work 9-9 hour days out of every ten and get the 10th one off. So that’s a 7-4.30 schedule, but I usually end up working at least a half hour to an hour more each day. And then sometimes that day off doesn’t really materialize either…
