Maybe Mike doesn’t buy me flowers more often…because when he does – I sit and “Ooooh” and “Ahhhh” over them all day! 
All joking aside – I really do love how fresh flowers can liven up any room! It’s a great trick/entertaining tip – and I don’t use it nearly enough! 
Since my stomach issues last week still had me a little freaked (but I apparently forget them during my Reuben-fest) – I decided a smoothie was the way to go for my Monday breakfast:
In there we’ve got: spinach, blueberries, pineapple, strawberries, almond milk, and PB – YUM!
I forgot how simple and super yummy smoothies can be! Although – they are must tastier in the warmer weather! 
Below lunch – I stumbled on to these sweet treats at my friend Mel’s desk:
I used an empty condiment cup as a scoop – and walked away because otherwise – I would have eaten the whole bowl! 
I heart Jelly Bellys!
Lunch was a salad, with cukes, beans, and hummus as dressing:
Followed up with a nice crunch, thanks to Angelina being generous and letting me try her Mary’s Gone Crackers Sticks & Twigs!
Good thing she walked away with the bag! If they were left at my desk – I don’t think she would have gotten anything back from me! 
Afternoon snack – Ruby Red Grapefruit! 
When I got home – it was GORGEOUS out so I took the pups for a nice long walk, – and then came home to make some dinner for myself since Mike was down at school. The end result:
A REALLY darn tasty hodge podge plate!
Here we’ve got:
- 1/2 bag of 90 second vegetable rice
- shrimpies
- veggie gyozas
- soy sauce
- sriracha
Quick, easy, and YUMMY!
Honestly – I’m just beside myself with this warm weather – I drove to work today with the SUNROOF OPEN! Does anyone else (like me) go CRAZY at the first sign of spring????

Yes! I got bonkers when it gets warm- wahoooo! Your flowers are beautiful! You should appreciate them. I try to buy flowers every other week (one of the $3 or $4 packs at the grocery store)-they always make my week. Great hodge podge din din

Are you kidding me? I have had the sunroof open for 6 days now!
It’s Ohio – you never know when the sun will come back, so you have to enjoy it while you can!

Those were the colors of the roses from my wedding! So pretty
It’s weird I would never buy Jelly Belly’s for myself (I usually go for chocolate) but put a bowl in front of me and I would probably destroy it too!
