FML, really?

May25

The weekend is coming to an end sadly. I just got home from Brian’s house. We, well they, did some grillin’.

I’m putting in a nice little gallery instead of picture by picture due to having to balance my laptop on my knees to get internet for some reason today.

First of all, I bought whole wheat pitas in an attempt to recreate Pita Pit awesomeness. As you can see in the first picture, mine fell apart. The pitas I bought were too dry or something. Inside the pita was a Laughing Cow Swiss cheese wedge, the LAST of the pound of spring mix from Costco (I was determined to finish it. See giant empty container picture), jarred banana peppers, fresh banana pepper, grape tomatoes, bean sprouts, mustard and barbecue sauce. It was pretty tasty.

After eating this around 3, I went to friend’s house for the grilling/porch sitting. I just accidentally typed “porching.” I think this should become a word. Anyway, I provided chips and salsa plus pretzel chips from TJ’s which are the BEST. Andy brought mayonnaise-less (I hate mayonnaise) potato salad and lime-tinged asparagus and Brian and other Andy got a bunch of stuff including mushrooms, mango, pineapple, potatoes, and some kind of beef to grill.

The last picture is of my plate. I wasn’t too hungry because I had just eaten my pita plus I snacked a bunch today. I did eat some pretzel chips though.

It was a good time. Our conversation revolved around questions like,
What sport or position would benefit most from having the ability to read minds (goalie perhaps) and Would a Jeanie try to pull a fast one on you if you weren’t specific enough about your wish (i.e. If you wished to be fluent in Spanish, might said Jeanie take away your ability to speak English?) We then concluded that your wish should be, I would like to be fluent in Spanish but also have my English speaking ability remain.


That’s about it. It’s 9:30 now. I’m thinking about running in the AM. We will see.

Goodnight!

Ridiculously Long Weekend Recap

May25

Hi Everyone!

I’m currently sitting in Crazy Mocha. It’s Memorial Day. It’s lovely outside. Let’s review the last couple of days since I dropped off blog world for a bit there.

I’ve been making TONS of these:

Blended iced coffee with cream and sugar.

Saturday morning, I think I had this though it may have been Sunday. Can’t remember… Bed of roasted kale with 1 whole egg and 2 egg whites on top (w/ ketchup and sriracha):

Saturday night, I went to Hough’s in Greenfield with a bunch of people that I haven’t seen in a long time. We had big beer:

That x 1.5.

We watched the Penguin’s game at Hough’s while drinking giant beers. They won!

Afterward, we went to a friend’s house to celebrate his birthday.

There was BIG pizza:

Hangover cure:

Iced tea x like 4 and iced coffee.

Eggs for breakfast again:

Needless to say I did not accomplish much yesterday. I stayed in bed until 10 and then woke up and ate and went grocery shopping. I came back, ate some more and then napped forever. Later on, I watched Twilight (for the 4th time) with another friend and then went to bed around midnight.

This morning, I woke up around 6:30 and decided to go to the gym super early. I had 1/2 a banana, Z Bar, and iced coffee first:

I went to the gym and was the ONLY one there until 8 AM. I ran on the treadmill for 3 miles. I went a total of almost 4 miles between warm up and cool down. It kind of sucked today. I’m not sure why. I was starting to feel tired and figured I was close to the 3 mile mark so I checked and I was only at 2.5! I had to get to 3.25. I was doing a 5K and had walked for the first .15 miles. LAME. I dragged on though and finished. Towards the end, I was running at 7 mph just to get done. UGH.

I finished and then did some weight lifting because I’m super buff (I put my AC in the window by myself yesterday) and then did two of the ab machines. I left by 8:30 and came home to make some eggs.

  • 1 whole egg, egg whites
  • 1 small onion
  • some grape tomatoes
  • a few asparagus spears
  • 2 handfuls of spinach
  • way too much ketchup to document on the blog…

    What else did I eat today??? Ahhh some oatmeal, a ton of yogurt, a handful of cereal, more frozen coffee. I don’t really remember. I just woke up from a long nap and now I’m drinking more iced coffee.

    Right now:

    I think later on I might go to a friend’s house for some grilling but I’m not totally decided yet. For now, I’ll sit here and take advantage of the kind of slow but still better than mine internet here.

    Happy Memorial Day! I hope you are grilling things and sitting on blankets on the grass.
