One more day ‘til the weekend – eeeeeek!! Got any fun plans I should know about?!

Ok – do you ever have those weeks where you just don’t feel like exercising? This week has definitely been one of those… I don’t know if it’s the gray and cloudy weather we’ve had since last weekend or what – but I am in a slump my friends! I canceled my 3 mile run this afternoon but am thinking about heading out on my bike for a cruise after dinner. Yep, I committing.

In other news, our state tax refund check finally arrived in the mail! We’re cheap and it was something like $60 to file electronically, so we went the old fashioned route and filed by snail mail for free…which means it took about 6 extra weeks to get our refund…d’oh! Are we putting the refund towards a fabulous vacation, wardrobe makeover or exciting night on the town??? Nope – we’ve got to paint our house…double d’oh!! Owning a home is hard word don’t you know!?

So I arrived home from work hungreeeeeeee – and I may have spoiled my appetite by eating a few of these…

(I couldn’t help it they are so good! I immediately stashed the rest of them in the freezer!!!) so I made a light and semi-random dinner of steamed green beans and a mashed potato

I just love steamed green beans – I don’t, however, love standing over the sink, snapping their little green bean ends off! My Mom finds it therapeutic…how about you?

I used some Drunkin’ Priest Dippin’ Sauce in my mashed potato and boy was it ever good!!!

Oh, back to those sugar cookies – a few of you asked about the icing I used. I just made a simple royal icing – here’s a good recipe to try!

Ok, I am seriously going right.this.moment., changing my clothes, heading out the door and grabbing my bike. It’s Tour de Iowa Girl Eats’ neighborhood time!!!
