Stash! | Green Dog Wine

I’ve gotta problem.

Wanna know what that problem is?

Halloween candy around the office!!!!! I’ve mentioned this before – I’m not really crazy about chocolate, but when it comes to gummy related candy – well – it’s another example of my food kryptonite! I think I’ve had at LEAST 2 Laffy Taffy a day, every day this week!!

Tuesday I got up early and went to the gym, and ended up doing just a little over 45 minutes on the elliptical! I tried doing more intervals as Tina recently suggested, and I was definitely a sweaty mess by the end!

Because I was so hot from my workout – I didn’t want anything to do with oatmeal – and went straight for my PB Puffins with ice cold Almond Milk!

My breakfast keeps getting earlier and earlier, because I’m eating at home after working out, instead of once I get to the office. Eating breakfast at 7am instead of 8:30/9 – means I am HUNGRY by 10am at the latest! Luckily – I had some fun stash in my secret drawer snacks in my desk drawer!

Funky Monkey “Purple Funk” – freeze dried bananas coated with acai!

SERIOUSLY funky! (doesn’t it look burnt?!) 10.21upload 006

Other side – normal lookin’ freeze dried banana:

These were pretty good – I actually liked them better than the Jive-a-Lime Pineapples! My only complaint – they get stuck in your back teeth, like taffy, and (yes – I’m a weirdo) for some reason that feeling drives me CRAZY!

My lunch was a repeat of last nights dinner – tofu with some rice (and I added some Ken’s Lite Caesar to spice it up!)

But when I was about 4 bites into it – I KNEW it wasn’t going to fill me up like I wanted… so I hit up the vending machine and got a bag of pretzels to dip is my extra stash of hummus I keep at work! (okay – I don’t really keep hummus at work, it was just leftover from my lunch last week – but you get the point!)

As I was leaving work – I dipped into my Celestial Seasonings stash – and made Candy Cane Lane tea…

…to help tide my hunger over since I knew my hair appointment wouldn’t be over until at least 8! Can I just say – I am in LOVE with Candy Cane Lane!!! You smell or taste it and it just SCREAMS holiday! Makes me very happy!

As for the hair appointment - I love my new hair color (and the cut was really just a trim, so it’s nothing exciting) – but I really wasn’t feeling photogenic yesterday/today. Maybe if you are lucky I’ll give you one by the end of the week!

My parents had so graciously offered to babysit my little monster pup face, so I had to stop over there and pick her before I could go home! Since I was pretty hungry (and even though I haven’t lived in my parents house for over 5 years – I still help myself to whatever I want) – I plopped down at the dinner table and threw together a buffalo chicken salad with the leftovers from there dinner!

Not to shabby, huh?!

I ended up not getting home until after 9 – which just makes for SUCH a long day when you leave the house by 7:15!

Alright kiddos – I have to get ready for my ride to pick me up! Yep – that’s right – I’ve got a ride! Unfortunately – Mike’s car started making some crazy sounds yesterday, so we are doing lots of car shuffling the next few days! Hope you had a great Wednesday!

ow! Can’t wait to see the hair color. As I think I told you before- I am the SAME way. I’m not a big chocolate fan but love gummies. People around my office have been having the laffy and twizlers but I have been ignoring my temptations some how! Pretzels and hummus is one of Josh’s favorite snacks Enjoy your night. Hope you guys get the car situation worked out!!

om gosh- btw! Have you seen the petsmart commercial with the baby lando??? Lookout for it- so cute

I really need to get the holiday Celestial tea flavors! I’ve been dying to try them, but can’t seem to find them. Maybe I just need to look around more!

You are such a tease with that hair color! I want pictures!!!!
Reeses PB Cups are my kryptonite for sure. I forbid them in the house.

What a tease! Show your new hair color!!

My candy “kryptonite” is definitely jelly belly jelly beans. Love.

Oh, I can’t STAND when things are stuck in my teeth – hence why I break everything (sandwiches, wraps, bars) possible so I don’t get anything stuck in the front chompers. I want to see the new ‘do!! I bet it looks gorgy

Do you remember the song Laffy Taffy?? If not, search it in itunes RIGHT NOW. “Shake that laffy taffy, that laffy taffy, girl shake that laffy taffy”. lol that’s all I can think of when I see laffy taffy.

that is one thing I do not miss about the office…the bowls of candy!! someone complained to me today about our office

I love laffy taffy too, would eat it everyday if I worked in an office too! You should put up a picture of your hair, I’m thinking of doing something new and love to see what other people do!

Hmmm that cereal is looking so good right now.
I’m actually glad we don’t celebrate halloween here. There’s already a lot of holidays this time of year, I don’t need more candy and sweets

Whoa, those freeze-dried bananas are wild. They look gross, but I’d eat them!

Remember when Laffy Taffy came as a square? I used to love reading the corny jokes on the back. Simple smiles. Have you read any good ones lately?
“Where does a general put his armies? — In his sleevies”

Ahh laffy taffy. I have a coworker who always has a whole jar of them and it’s torture! I love the pink ones:)
Look at that tea stash! I love Celestial.

TOTALLY feel you on hating that “something’s in my teeth” feeling. Drives me crazy! No worries on skipping the post-style photo sesh – you have to break in that color/cut anyway! And can I just say that I’m super jealous of your holiday tea? I can’t find any at my grocery store!

Ugh exclamation overload – sorry.

I have been averting my eyes from the candy stash, but I’m not sure I can any longer!

We are going to be out of town for Halloween…so I didn’t buy any candy and that is probably for the best!!! Because I would probably have to go out and buy some more later anyways when my hubs and I ate it all!!!!

Celestial teas are the best! My favorite is honey vanilla camomile. You should try it.
Like you I am not a huge chocolate fan buy love gummy candies! Put a bag of gummy bears in front of me and they’ll be gone in seconds. When I was a teenager I used to eat airheads at least once a day

I’ve never had Laffy Taffy. I’m not a chocolate fan either though. I love love love those Haribo Peach candies! They’re my weakness.

You’re a tease about your hair.

i had that problem with halloween candy last year, that is why my NYR was no candy. i sure do miss it! but at least i didn’t have any cavities when i got my teeth checked TWO WEEKS!

That funky monkey doesn’t look appetizing but that’s the best–food that looks odd but tastes amazing

[...] avoid the Halloween candy jars – I made sure to bring my own sweet treat yesterday – some nice COLD dried [...]
