Feb 2 – The Day I Ran Without Fuel

This is one of those days that just doesn’t feel like it warrants a post. But, I’m committed, so let’s do this: 

Started the day with a run with a work friend, and to my great dismay, we were out of coffee at my house. That meant running, before the sun was up, with not a drop of caffeine in my system. That post-run coffee at work was like my carrot motivating me to finish. I’m an addict and I know it, don’t judge me!! And, if you’re wondering, it was GLORIOUS (the coffee, not the run, duh).

Highlights:

1) Chips and Salsa Thursday! Am I going to write this every other Thursday that I eat chips & salsa? Maybe.  It really is that exciting to me, people.

2) Made more of that delicious broccoli for dinner, and ate it all to myself because Husband started the Flat Belly Diet for Men and he’s only on day 2 of the jumpstart (no broccoli allowed!). I later regretted the decision to inhale all those little green trees as I burped garlic/broccoli for the next 3 hours. Just saying.

3) Went to work on invites for my nephew Roston’s welcome party. You know what happens when you put two incredibly indecisive, mediator personalities in one room to start a project? Nothing. Nothing happens. We went round and round on wording, design, paper size, and “for the love of cheese, should we use ‘of’ or ‘for’?!” Despite all that stood against us, we actually DID manage to make a little traction, and we had fun along the way! Roston, you will have a glorious party! Even if it takes us a reeeally long time to decide what we’re doing! :)

Love & Indecisiveness,

Jan 29 - The Day We Believed It (or Not!)

Sunday is tied with Thursday for the position of my favorite day. God certainly knew what he was doing with that whole "day of rest" commandment! Sunday was spent worshiping with my CLC fam, Chicken E, teenagers, grocery shopping, and the best broccoli I've ever eaten (and that's saying something considering that I don't really like broccoli!) The better part of the afternoon was spent with the aforementioned teenagers at Ripley's Believe it Or Not, and the Palace of Wax. The former: fun as always, and I enjoyed seeing the kids get weirded/grossed out. The latter: whose job is it to make those wax figures?! They should seek other career paths, I think...some of those things are downright creepy (and not at all accurate). I was particularly offended by the train wreck that was the Harry Potter crew. Sad. Who cares about how well you made Obama, WHAT ABOUT HARRY?! ahem.

 Highlights:
1) So, the broccoli: Toss florets in olive oil, sea salt, cracked pepper and garlic. Roast at 425 degrees for about 20 minutes. As soon as its out of the oven, sprinkle with lemon juice and parmesan cheese, and toss.Thanks, Pinterest!

2) Thought about blogging. Didn't blog. Was totally OK with this decision (see my very first post)

3) Made a list of how I can make my week more productive. We'll see how that goes, since I have a not-so-great track record of sticking to my own well-crafted plans.

Love & Roasted Broccoli,
