…when you’ve got a “monkey on your back”.
Or in my case, when you have a baby on your desk! 
One of the girls I work with brought in her baby at the end of the day yesterday – and I happily volunteered to “assist” in watching this handsome little devil. He spent about 15 minutes just hanging out on my desk, answering the Mouse Phone, and the Calculator Phone. Here, I’ve just been answer my Phone Phone when I’m at work. Think of all the calls I’ve missed! 
For breakfast – I was too afraid to try oats after my hurl fest the day prior – so I stuck with an easy classic, that I knew wouldn’t upset my belly: PB&J!!!
Before I show you lunch (Gosh – how will you handle the suspense?!) – I wanted to show you the one thing I was able to get off the couch and do on Monday:
I made my veggie quinoa stew with roasted veggies! I wanted to show you that – because the above picture is far prettier, than the leftovers, which is exactly what I had for lunch! 
and some watermelon:
Yesterday I was supposed to have my “final interview” for volunteering at the local Boxer Rescue – but it got canceled because of the crappy Cleveland weather. Boo! 
Because I had planned on not really having any free time last night – I was all thrown off – so rather than put any thought into dinner – I just ate more quinoa! 
Just – this time – it was on top of lettuce!
And now, for no reason at all – because I can’t come up with anything better to end this thrilling post with:
Underbite Lando! 
Happy Wednesday!

LOVE the kid!! Sorry to hear about the canceled interview
I’ve always said that when I move out on my own, I’m going to get a Boxer as my first dog. They’re just like the Brat but bigger!

Quinoa stew sounds great!
Adorable baby! It always throws me off when I hear children at the office. It just sounds so out of place. But it’s a fun variation on the norm.

Do you know how dirty desks are? You might as well have let him play in the toilet. Not that there’s anything wrong with a little toilet play.
Miss me?

Lando! I have a friend who does Boxer rescue around here and LOVES it!
Ummm, you have got to lose it with the baby references. Surprises, babies on the desk, I can’t take it. Next thing you know we’re going to be having a blogger baby shower and shipping you homemade baby food. Not cool lady, not cool.
