But switch out clouds, and insert “eggs in my spicy oatmeal” 
Remember the other day when I was positive I saw a whale’s fin? 
I swear, I’m not taking crazy pills over here!
Well take a look at this ugly bowl of spicy oats: 
It really just wasn’t feeling photogenic! Although – I think the eggs look a little like Africa. Anyone else see it? 
Isn’t my tiny jeweled spoon so cute?! (if I do say so myself…) 
After picking up some serious groceries the other night – my lunch was back to super star status: Pear/Feta/Red Onion/Poppyseed dressing combo back in full effect! 
I’m not sure what kind of pear I used – but the red is by far my favorite, compared to green pears! YUM!
Snack: boring orange, sassed (did I just say “sassed”??) up by my lovely notepad back drop!
While I regularly profess my hatred from winter – I will say – I do LOVE when citrus is in season! 
2nd snack – to hold me over until dinner:
Blueberry Zbar and PB – I wasn’t sure about the combo at first…
… but then scarfed every last bit down! Blueberry & PB – WHO KNEW?! :wink:
I didn’t leave work until 7 last night – so when I was walking out and my friend Angelina said “I could really go for some pizza and wine” – I immediately said – COME ON OVER! WE’LL ORDER PIZZA, AND I’VE GOT WINE IN THE FRIDGE!
Papa John’s with banana peppers:
Sauv Blanc:
with a side of Modern Family? Can a Wednesday night get any better?
So who else is obsessed with Modern Family??? I remember watching the preview before the season started thinking “Eh, looks okay” – and now I’m totally obsessed – it’s the highlight of my week, and it’s actually winning out over the Thursday night line up on NBC in the race for “Allison’s favorite TV show”! What’s your favorite new show this season?

Community is my new fave show!! My hubs and I gave it a try and it is really getting funny. We did catch Modern Family last night…I love the gay couple and that adorable baby!! They are the best part of the show.
Thanks for sassing up that boring old orange!!! :>

Hey there! I’ve been reading your blog for awhile but never commented because I didn’t have a blog of my own. I just started one today so I thought I would de-lurk. I LOVE your blog. Your pictures are always so colorful. And I have a banana pepper fetish, so I always love when you incorporate them! Now I want pizza.

Modern Family is fantastic, honestly we need more funny shows on TV. I wish it was an hour long and then some.
I am working on a little creation, Miss-Sass-A-Lot, which might be right up your bowl of oats. I will “ship it” to you, since packages from me to you like to take the “road less traveled” as one might say.

Pizza and wine is sometimes the answer to life’s most difficult questions.
I’ve never seen Modern Family.

I’ve never watched Modern Family, but I’ve heard so many good things I know I’m going to have to start watching.

I’m jealous of that gorgy spoon!! Yep, I see Africa! Love the notepads – green and pink are one of my favorite color combos.
I’m thinking I need to get back into Modern Family – I watched the first episode and loved it but never got ‘into’ it. That should change!

Love Modern Family! I didn’t start watching until it was a few episodes in and omg, thank goodness for hulu
it’s up there on the record list w/community and parks & recreation (though, i think both of those are kinda hit or miss lately)
