BLIZZARD 2006
We woke up to white out conditions this morning- we could barely see the houses across the street. The wind was so crazy, it was pretty hard to see how much snow we actually got. I'm guessing 12"+. Today was the beginning day of Tim's company's annual conference (thankfully here in town this year). I really wanted to go with him and stay at the Broadmoor (the only 5 star hotel in Co) but I also didn't want to risk taking my children into a potentially life threatening situation by taking them out into the horrible conditions. Tim attempted to leave today around 1pm and got stuck about 1/2 block away. Conditions cleared a little and then he left around 6pm and arrived safely at the hotel about an hour later. I'll meet him tomorrow with the children. Tomorrow's forcast says it will be 55 degrees here. Only in Colorado.

70 days until...
CHRISTMAS!
I can't wait. Tim and I did our Christmas budget last Saturday at Starbucks- this is the official opening of the Christmas holiday at the Giedd house. We even ordered our Christmas cards on Friday night. I can pick them up on Wednesday! I went back to one of my favorite web sites organizedchristmas.com and printed out a whole slew of helpful work sheets to put in my Christmas Organizer binder, like the christmas card list, and the catalog order sheet and the master gift list, and there are even sheets to help you clean your house! I highly recommend it.
On a side note, as you realize, I was very pregnant this time last year. I thought that my early Christmas decorating and planning last year was part of the nesting phase. I think I was wrong.

Great recipe!
I've been searching for a good 3 bean salad recipe for a few weeks and I think I found it! It's low carb, too, if you're into that sort of thing.
THREE BEAN SALAD
1 can (15 oz) garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained and rinsed
1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drianed and rinsed
1 can (15 oz) green beans, drained and rinsed
4 green onions, chopped
1 stalk celery, sliced
1/2 c. cider vinegar
1/4 c. vegetable oil
1 Tbsp. honey
1/2 Tsp dry mustard
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
In a medium bowl, combine all of the beans, onions and celery. In another bowl, whisk together the vinegar, oil, honey, and spices.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before eating.
******************************
I just realized while typing this out, that I never added the vinegar. So, just in case you're wondering, yes, it can be made without the vinegar. Also, I didn't have any green onions so I added about 1/2 c. of yellow onion.
