Pop the top

Phew!  Made it through the day today – holding down 3 people’s work load.  How?  Because it’s a Friday in the summer time so it was quiet anyway I’m awesome like that !  :wink:

Our whole group when to cheer Kristin on at lunch time – and to make up for my earlier post – here’s a much nicer picture of Kristin:grin:

I’d say we pulled our “showin’ support” weight! :mrgreen:

Yesterday’s eats – are underwhelming, and sporadic, at best…(god, aren’t you just SO excited to read on…:razz:

Breakfast toast/PB/J combo:

For lunch – I scrounged up what I could, with what was left in the house – and I was surprised with the finish product!  Here’s the “supplies”

  • the LAST FlatOut wrap
  • 1 Laughing Cow Wedge
  • some veggies I threw in a pan to cook while I was getting ready for work:

I was VERY happy with how the veggies turned out:

This was a really really tasty wrap – but TOTALLY not filling at all.  I thought I was going to gnaw my arm off about 5 minutes after I was done with lunch!  :(

So I “filled up” (can you feel the sarcasm) with applesauce:

No dinner pictures…because…well…dinner was in liquid form.  Strongbows at McGinty’s were calling our name!  Not to mention – we had to celebrate Mike FINALLY getting his INSANELY busy schedule for next semester locked down!  :wink:

I can show you a few pictures of the drinking instead? :razz:

We both look confused and/or hurt (and I’m not sure why we needed to take our glasses of)… :mrgreen:

Lastly – I saw this driving to work today (and it made me laugh).  Fire trucks are seriously EXACTLY like the little toy ones – you can just pop the top of when you need to fix them!

Doesn’t it make the cab look like it weighs nothing?  :cool:

Happy Friday!!!!  :mrgreen:

Looks like you did a great job at supporting Kristen… love the pink! !

The veggies look good! Sorry it wasn’t filling!

[Reply]

I always underestimate how hungry I’m going to be when I pack my lunches in the morning. “Hmm…half a bagel? Sure, that’ll be plenty!” Not exactly!

I never knew fire trucks could do that! Trippy.

Congrats on your friend/co-worker doing the breast cancer walk! I participated as a walker and/or crew member in the Chicago event for 7 years and it was a great experience!
Hope you are able to finally fill up on groceries this weekend…I know a Costco trip is in order for us this weekend as well!

[Reply]

Who knew? Lol… fire trucks are cool!

OMG I love Strongbows… *sigh* I need more of them in my life!

[Reply]

Again, I’d say you do pretty freaking well given you’re working with whatever you have at home! Kinda looks like my typical lunch when I do have groceries haha. Have a good weekend

[Reply]

That flatout sandwich looks good.

I haven’t had a Strongbow in a long time. Might have to have one soon.

[Reply]

hey, we have a mcginty’s here too. just realized that. how odd. i wonder if its a chain or just a popular name for an irish bar?

[Reply]

Those veggies look delish!!!

Ha, love those firetruck pictures … who knew??

[Reply]

Hahaah! You guys are so sweet!
And man, that DOES look just like a toy! So cool. But the real ones make TONS more noise!

[Reply]

I guess I never had the firetruck toys because I didn’t know firetrucks did that till I saw one in person a couple years ago. I took a picture of the top-up firetruck I saw awhile back and posted it on my blog titled “What the Firetruck!?” lol. They look so strange like that!!

Sorry about the lunch…plain ole veggies don’t normally fill me up either. I need meat, cheese, or beans to help. :)

[Reply]

That veggie wrap looks super yummy!! :)

[Reply]

I haven’t had a liquid dinner since my first year of college! Now that certainly brings me some memories :)

[Reply]

Pretty veggies!

[Reply]

Your dinner was just like mine! We went to a BBQ restaurant and I’m a vegetarian – nuff said ;)

[Reply]

oh wow, i’m sure kristin was thrilled to see you guys cheering :) i can’t imagine walking that much in 3 days!! looks like a fun night;)

[Reply]

One day this whole “posting of embarrassing photos of others” is going to come back to haunt you! ;)
