big. week.

Welcome to a whirl wind week!

Just a few things going on:
1. I am starting book #4 (The Shack)
2. My spring campaign kicks off on Thursday. Nine candidates will again compete for the title of Man & Woman of the Year. They are rock stars and their goals blow past my budget...let's hope those goals become reality! It is such a fun campaign - but a ton of work. I put some major customer service pants on for this campaign.
3. We fly to florida for the weekend. hola early morning with a 6:30 a.m. flight the morning after a huge event for work. are we crazy?? maybe...but a weekend of sun (hopefully), friends (the McLeonards!!!) and seafood and wine should be just what the Dr. ordered. Oh - an NO computers per David..I won't have any issues with this, but we'll see how he does :)

It is also the start of lent...believe what you want of course, but I do find that truly sacrificing something does make me remember why I am making that sacrifice - which is a great thing.

So...adios queso and vino. Those are true sacrifices for me (sad I know). But I LOVE cheese and wine! I am getting my fix as much as I can from mexican with the Sterleys on Friday, to grilled cheese on Saturday, to a WONDERFUL DAY OF LOVE DINNER at Corner Wine Bar for Valentine's day (thanks, David!) that included cheese ravioli and wine. Now, tonight I am making eggplant parm. oh cheese, how I will miss you.

That's my week...a big week, but nothing new in the Glenn household. As this campaign gains momentum, so will our schedules. yikes!

2010 book update

onto #3!

The Weight of Silence

I am so excited that I will have 3 done in the first two months of the year!

Farm Fresh Virgins

Today was our first Farm Fresh delivery day! It was so exciting to get the email on Thursday announcing what was in our bin for the coming week and to have the opportunity to comb through the substitutions I wanted to make and add other goodies. I had been looking forward to it so much that I can't believe that I forgot today until the drive home!


Our bin waiting on the porch!


Opening up the bin...ooooo what do we have?

All kinds of fresh goodies!
rainbow carrots-too fun! I know carrots look like this, but in the world of bagged baby carrots....I almost forgot that carrots do come with greens on top and need to be peeled!

I really want to thank my co-worker mallory and our friend Sara for their motivation to join this great "club" and get fresh produce delivered! I am so excited to swap recipes with Sara and try new foods. Plus...the real hope is that we consume more fruits and veggies.
First meal with FFD: huge salads!

January fun!

In late January, Erin and the kiddos were in town and we had Grandma Bonnie's 80th Birthday Bash!

It was a great week/weekend of family from Indiana, Boston and Wisconsin---such fun times!
