To take a line from my husbands’ playbook. Today was a lucky day, even despite not getting a snow day. Well they did close my office early but I couldn’t wrap things up fast enough to take advantage of it. There was only about 6-8 inches of snow by the time I got home, not bad considering it had been snowing all day. It is still coming down, so more to come. It has been awhile since we had a really big snow storm, we’ll see if this is the one.
Now for lucky part. I came home to a few surprise packages arriving. The first one was a Holiday Giveaway I won from a favorite site I follow, The Local Beet. That is where I found the beet hummus recipe. I ended up commenting on the recipe and became a winner. Yea, for me! I am the happy recipient of homemade tart cherry compote, strawberry jam, and grape jelly. They came from Chicago’s very own Monogramme Events and Catering owned by Melissa Graham (a favorite blog I subscribe to – I so admire the work she is involved in). Homemade scones are a must this weekend to enjoy my prize.Another package was an additional free copy of Seth Godin’s book Linchpin: Are you Indespensible? I just about finished with the book and have been enjoying it so far, more on that when I’m finished.
OK the other packages were no winnings, as I paid cold hard cash for them Always fun to get the packages though. Added bonus, the bubbles kept the kids busy while they waited for dinner.
Packages are always fun! Yum! I love bubbles too, did you know there's an app for that?
I did not know that, does it work on iTouch?
