The Flu

I wanted to thank all of you for your support during the Pops in a Post contest. I did not win, but I was very honored to even be a finalist! Check out the winner here.

Anddd I want to apologize. It has been way too long since I posted. But, I do have a good excuse. I have the flu. I have been feeling under the weather for about 3 weeks now but this past weekend is when it hit me, bad. This has compounded to mean no dishes and no cooking. When I say no dishes, I mean it. it got to the point where there was no silverware (not even the backup set!), cereal bowls, plates, mixing bowls...

It was near impossible to find something to heat up my Trader Joe's spaghetti Os. Which I lived off of over the weekend. I think I ate about 6 cans.

This has meant that I haven't really caught up. I have dishes to eat off, of course, but each load only puts a tiny little knick in the mammoth piles of dishes in the sink and spread all over the counters. Everything I have cooked has been a repeat and something extremely easy to make without dishes (aka veggie burgers and roasted potatoes).

So, I am going to apologize again for no posts. I am hoping to completely recover this weekend and be back to normal very soon. It's painful to be this out of whack. I also have a very exciting Valentine's meal idea that I can't wait to share with you.
