…when you are super busy!   I’d love to say “time flies when you are having fun” – but there hasn’t been much time for that this week.  I can’t believe it’s already Friday!

First – I wanted to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my most favorite southern gal in the whole wide world – MERIDITH!   Happy Birthday – on your ACTUAL birthday!  I love you!

L to R: Sarah, me, Meri

Now onto food – not going to be that descriptive, because I have another rock and roll day!   I get my new glasses today though – WOOHOO!   So watch for a nice dorky comparison picture to come!

For lunch – a standard salad, with some veggies on the side:

I munched on some balls for a snack (that’s what she said) (I have the maturity level of a teenage boy)

One of my friend at work had a whole bag of these – basically like jelly beans is ball form – they were so good but soooo sugary – I stole a few more yellow ones when she wasn’t looking! 

As we were wrapping up at work, Kristin invited me to run on a quick Christmas shopping trip with her, and since Mike was studying – I happily obliged!   We ended up stopping at Whole Foods which was awesome!  I picked up some great stuff – and got to try out there salad bar!   I have to be honest though – this Whole Foods was way smaller, and not as nice as the one VeggieGirl and I went to.

I snagged some Saffron Cous Cous Salad, some “Best Foods” salad with wheatberries and kale, a little bit of vegetable penne pasta, and then some salad – it was ALL DELICIOUS.  I also bought some Annie’s Sour Cream and Onion bunny crackers (totally forgot to take a picture) – they are sooooooo good!

I stopped and grabbed some DQ on the way home for my hard working student – and grabbed a small vanilla ice cream cone for myself.   To be perfectly honest – I was so excited to eat it when I got home (walking in the door for the first time all day at 9pm) – that I didn’t even bother to take a picture – I just started to devour.  So no picture for you, and I’m not apologizing for not having a picture! 

I decided to eat breakfast at home this morning – because I had picked up my free Hemp Milk while I was at Whole Foods – THANKS MS BRIT!  I had some Kashi H2H and vanilla hemp milk – a divine combination! 

And that’s it – it’s back to the grind now!   Thanks for all your kind words this week – this really is such a great community of caring, compassionate people.  Ya’ll are the best!    HAPPY FRIDAY!
