In case some of you are liking the re-addition of my meals, here's what I had yesterday...
Breakfast was late but my meal didn't seem to mind as it smiled at me. PB&J English muffin, low sodium cottage cheese, small banana with 1/2 tbsp cookie nookie and raisins with some green tea.
Lunch was turkey and arugula sandwich with the usual freggies.
Dinner was BBQ chicken naan and a side of Brussels.
Oh and on a side note...Tom Mison was ROBBED for not getting nominated for an Emmy for Sleepy Hollow. I mean...HELLO...
We are road trippin' to meet up with some friends from Chicago this weekend so I'm super excited! I'm hoping to find a few treasures at some antique stores to help bring the new living room refresh together. Regardless, good friends, good food (we're comin' for ya Punch Burger) and antiquing with our men in tow? Perfect weekend!
What's on tap for your weekend?

Love the smiley face you ate for breakfast. Cute! Tom Mison was robbed but hopefully he has a chance to correct that with season 2. I sure hope they are able to make season 2 even better and not screw it up!
ReplyDeleteHee hee. My breakfast was happy. I can't imagine those writers would screw up anything, they are freakin' genius! But yes, given how completely out there (yet believable) season one was, they need to walk a delicate line with war so as not to lose people. They won't lose me unless they go all Dexter with the season and take a great show and flush it.
DeleteTom Mison is gorgeous but that series properly disturbed me! although I loved Penny Dreadful??? Thats my random comment for Friday :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous indeed! Never heard of Penny Dreadful. Will have to see what I'm missing!
DeleteI make your Brussel sprouts all the damn time now. LOVE THEM!
ReplyDeleteThat, m'lady, is the highest of compliments! Thank you!!
DeleteBikini chick: she looks great! We're all crazy in our heads about our bodies. Example--I'm smaller than she is, and 'society" would probably think I would look better in a bikini than her, but in my mind I'm like "she looks awesome. I could never work that bikini like that" smh again, we're crazy.
ReplyDeletesmartphone addiction side effect: don't forget about...um...hold on gotta check this link..forget about...um...hold on lemme send this text...what was I saying? OH YEAH! shortened attention spans!
Your meals: a half TBSP of cookie nookie sounds so meager but from that pic, I see it's MORE than enough! a good visual reminder about what portion sizes should look like
Yeah my nana was pretty small so I couldn't justify the full tbsp I allotted myself so I decided to half it and put raisins on top. But yeah, I'm always astonished at how far 1/2 tbsp of Nutella spreads too. It's perfect to get a good flavor of it but not feel like I've gone overboard.
DeleteSome of those fixes were awful, but some were absolutely ingenious - when you're broke as sticks and trying to get by until payday. I particularly like the beer can shower head, hand mirror as a car mirror, and plastic tub as a sink.
ReplyDeleteI'm obsessive about 12 & 13 on the travel checklist. Even if we're only going to be gone overnight I have to have the fridge cleaned out, trash out, laundry done, and clean sheets waiting for me. I'm pretty sure it makes hubby crazy.
Thank you for stopping by my page "over there" yesterday. It was a rough day, and seeing your goodie and kind note really helped.
Oh girl, I came home to an unkempt house one vacation and it COMPLETELY deflated me and made me depressed. So ever since, we make sure everything is tidy, dishes done, trash out, etc. Same with the sheets and just give it a spritz of lavender for a refresh before that first magical sleep in your own bed!
DeleteSo sorry to hear you had to do that and my heart goes out to you. Please email if you need to talk. (((HUGS)))
Enjoy a very fun weekend! I got to leave work an hour early so I got to come home to the hubs who had taken the pups to the dog park and he said they were SO happy chasing each other and playing in the pool. I work tomorrow then we might go car shopping for the hubs. Mom didn't get the most encouraging news so that's been disturbing this week, but she was meeting up with her friend for lunch and they were looking forward to gabbing for hours! Already have a load of laundry done so that's one less thing to do tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the pups were happy campers! Please shoot me an email about mom. (((HUGS)))
