Good Morning
Good morning. The sun is shining here.

It’s time for coffee…

And a donut.
Baked Orange Banana Coconut Donuts with Orange Coconut Vanilla Cream Cheese Glaze

And this post is a test to see if things are working on my end. It was a very glitchy day yesterday so just seeing if this post hits google reader and is published without a hitch.
What’s on your agenda for the day?










YES! I got it!! Good morning! Working, walking outside with Kay, taking a cross-fit like class at the gym (they want all of our instructors to take it/promote it) and then dinner with the instructors

Missing the sunshine today – but we do need the rain. Just another day at the office for me. I do plan on hitting up spin class at least. Love a good midday workout. Have a great one!

Good for you for fitting in a midday workout sesh. Makes everything better when that happens!

I would love some sunshine. It was finally warm in Ontario (Canada) yesterday, and although it’s still warm today, it’s rainy and gross. I’ve just been sticking in doors and maybe venture to the library after lunch. I’ll enjoy the sunshine through your pic instead :)

Coffee and donuts. Sounds like Sunday mornings at my grandma’s house growing up.

Hoping all of your techy probs have been resolved. I haaaaate when something doesn’t work right on the blog. …like when the formatting looks great in the portal and then after I post the spacing is wonky for 1/6 of the post. UGHHHHHH. Why?!

Blogger is the worst on those weird formatting glitches…grrr! Sometimes when I import pics from my old Blogger post days, it will format weird even in WP!

Sunshine, coffee, and doughnuts sounds (and looks) like a dreamy way to begin the day!

So jealous of that weather! What a beautiful photo! It did get to 61*F here yesterday, so I really can’t complain. Have a fabulous day :)

Gorgeous weather here too, love it! Sorry about the blog glitches, those can be über stressful. Work, recipe writing and working out are on my agenda.

My agenda … I am finally back from my extended business trip … went to the dentist and I am supposed to be enjoying a day off … instead I am still at Starbuck’s finishing some emails it is almost 3 and I am still here.
After 3 weeks of restaurants I am trying to juice today … but I am dreaming about food … it is sunny but windy and said I was going to run … but I just can’t get myself to do it.
Also … did you see that the new Lightroom is out? I think it is calling my name … or should I just buy Photoshop?
Have a wonderful day … send some motivation my way!

I comment replied to another person that LR 4 was *just releaseed yesterday* and so I bet they have some really good deals on LR3 right now, or I think LR4 is only $149 It’s a MUST Buy. I dont know how to use PS and am trying to teach myself but LR is much easier and more self-explanatory and it’s all I use (or know how to use). You will LOVE IT

Thursday is my last work day for the week. It was 58 degrees this am and raining but I managed to get in a quick run between showers. I finished off the evening with my guitar lesson which is always the quickest 30 min. of my day!

I bought some Cafe Bustelo the other day and I have to thank you for helping me discover it. It was delicious! And it cost less than $3.50 for a brick of it, finally a decent coffee that’s easy on the wallet!

Just blogged about a recipe I think you would like…similar to your white chocolate puppy chow but with a yello cake mix.
