Chuck Todd made an appearance on the Today Show this morning!

The week is more than half over! I’m looking forward to the weekend. I’m not exactly sure what I’m doing but there are lots of things going on so I’m thinking it’s going to be a good one.

I started out the morning with shutting off my alarm when it went off at 5:15 and sleeping until 6:15. I wasn’t supposed to run today but I just thought I might be feeling it this morning. I was not.

Of course I had pumpkin oats with Twigs this morning.

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin
  • 1/2 cup TJ’s Fruit & Nut Medley
  • Tablespoon or something of cinnamon

    Last night I put together a tomato salad for lunch with some of my fresh basil:

    This stuff plus olive oil and balsamic vinegar were involved:

    Here’s lunch today:

    I walked over to Penn Mac in the Strip today at lunch to stock up on ground cinnamon. It’s almost embarrassing to see how much cinnamon I go through. I LOVE IT and it’s not bad for you so whatever.

    I also purchased a new bottle of SRIRACHA at the Asian grocer in the Strip. That would be bottle #2 so far in my life. I plan to keep track of how many I consume during my entire life. I will estimate it to be about 50 unless I can’t stomach the stuff when I get older or something. Won’t THAT be an accomplishment?

    So I got home from work and made a green smoothie. It’s become a daily occurrence. Spinach, frozen banana, Almond Breeze, teaspoon of vanilla. This is what happens when your blender SUCKS:

    I cleaned the apartment a little after this and thought about running but decided to put it off until tomorrow morning. Monday and Wednesdays are technically my rest days but I’m probably going to skip yoga on Friday so I was thinking about doing something today. Oh well…

    So dinner was scrambled eggs that I forgot to photograph(!) and an acorn squash that I microwaved and then scooped out of the skin and covered with cinnamon and a bit of raw sugar.

    Alright I’m about to have some yogurt/fruit dessert. I have a mango. Yeaaah. Friday night maybe hanging out with an old coworker and then Saturday not really sure yet.

    I wish I had something more exciting to discuss here but I have nothing. Uhhh that’s it. BYE
