Poor Buns | Green Dog Wine

November 24, 2009 | Filed in: Uncategorized

Happy Tuesday! (or should I say “Friday” for some VERY lucky people!)

I still have to work on Wednesday – so I’ve got a little ways to go, but if I get stressed or upset – I just keep reminding myself “2 more days, 2 more days, 2 more days” – because Thursday…

I’ll be in MEXICO!

Okay – I’ll stop rubbing it in.

Because of our trip – I’ve been trying to use up items in our pantry/fridge/freezer that I know will go bad while we are gone. I knew I had Almond Milk to use up – which meant I HAD to buy cereal at the store on Sunday!

My choice:

Fruity Cheerios!

These tasted exactly like smaller Froot Loops! And while the ingredient list may not be “all natural” or “organic” – I was impressed that I actually could pronounce MOST items on this list:

Whatever. I eat “Kids Sugar Cereal”. And I make no apologies for that.

Lunch was the rest of the romaine (that I think had already started to go bad – doesn’t this look like one sad salad!):

and the rest of my Shells & Cheese/roasted veggie combo from Saturday night:

and for snack (as if my Shells/Veggie combo didn’t have enough sodium) – some Lindt with “A Touch of Sea Salt”

This is still the bar I got in San Fran – and it’s almost gone!! I need to find a place in Cleveland that sells these suckers on the cheap!

At the end of the day – I was working away, while simultaneously day dreaming of how fabulous Thursday will be – and I decided I wanted to get in a few more good “sweat sessions” (I know – lame word, but it’s the phrase that I thought. So at least I’m lamely consistent. ) before our trip.

I rushed home, got changed, grabbed half of an apple, and took a picture of my man hand holding said apple, while my crazy dog begged at my feet for a walk instead of Mommy going to the gym. (Was that really even a sentence? )

I am seriously OBSESSED with spinning right now. While I would rather be running – my foot isn’t totally cooperating, and spinning makes me feel like I’m still getting in an amazing workout! LOVE IT!

By the time I got home it was 8pm and I hadn’t eaten dinner – and I wanted something IMMEDIATELY. I went straight for the veggie dogs!

Served up on “poor buns”.

Funny story*. (*I am by no means making fun of the poor)

When Mike and I first started dating – I had suggested having hot dogs for dinner one day. (Yeah – I’m a classy gal) Here’s how the conversation went:

Me: Want hot dogs for dinner?

Mike: No, we can’t have hot dogs, we don’t have buns.

Me: (extremely nonchalantly) Oh that’s okay, we have bread

Mike: (staring in disbelief) What would bread have to do with hot dogs?

Me: We can just use the bread as buns.

Mike: (left speechless)…

To this day – Mike finds it simultaneously hysterical and mind boggling that we grew up eating our hot dogs on slices of bread. He just can’t wrap his head around it. Apparently – if you grew up with a house over your head and a warm bed to sleep in – all hot dogs should be eaten on hot dog buns.

I digress.

Dinner:

Dessert – some ghetto guac:

My avocado OBVIOUSLY was not ripe enough since I could barely cut it – but I wanted “needed” to eat it since it would go bad over our trip. It was still tasty – just not the consistency I was going for!

On the agenda from now until we leave – GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO! Are you ready for your holiday? Is it time for you to relax??

I’m soooo jealous. Have a blast in Mexico…swimming, fruity drinks, tasty eats, suntans!!!
My hubby gets super fussy about funny things too…normally he is such a go with the flow guy, but if you try to give him some generic american cheese instead of Kraft he will cry! LOL

Have a great vacation!
