Man, I am in A MOOD today! No idea why, but I just feel kinda blah. Does that ever happen to you where you are just kind of cranky for no apparent reason? Good thing I’m not married as of yet — my husband would have complete grounds for divorce based on my attitude all morning! Tals, on the other hand, is stuck with me. Pretty sure she would sucker punch me today if she could, but luckily, she knows whose wallet feeds her. I know what she is thinking though….I can see it in her crazy little eyes!
Blurry picture, I know. Sigh.

To combat my case of sass, I took Tals on a bit of a trail run this morning. I was supposed to go skiing with some friends, but the snow up there is seriously pathetic. I don’t know if y’all read SR’s blog, but she is at Mammoth and has some pics of their not-so-stellar snow. The snow here isn’t quite as bad as that, but it’s definitely cringe-worthy. I like to call our current conditions “crust on dust.” Needless to say, I’m a ski snob and although we all have season passes, none of us were willing to make the 1.5 hour drive just to carve on some ice. Unfortunately that tends to happen when you come off a powder year like last year! Keep your fingers crossed for some snow, please!
Anyway, that was a totally random tangent. Whoops. So I didn’t go skiing but instead, I took advantage of this 60 degree sunshine and took Tals on a trail run. I have to admit, it pulled me out of my funk a little bit. There truly is nothing like Colorado sunshine and a lovable mutt to make you feel a little more content with life, you know?
I topped our vitamin d-filled escapade off with a nice little snack once I got home. If you follow me on The Twitter, you probably saw how thrilled I was to discover “banana ice cream” a few days back. Apparently, so many of you in the world knew about this discovery and failed to tell me. Rude.
For those of you in the dark like I was, here is the scoop: basically, you freeze some bananas over night or whatever. Whenever you’re ready, peel them and stick those babies in a food processor for like 5 minutes. Wala! Banana ice cream. Something about the consistency of the frozen banana really equates to soft serve fluffiness, minus all the calories and sugar.
Unless you’re like me. I put chocolate syrup on top and it was delightful!

I need votes here: who knew about this banana ice cream deliciousness? Was I truly the last person on Earth?
What do you do to pull yourself out of a bad mood?
