Giant Scissors

You are so fantastic, truly. Yes, you! All my readers, please give yourself a pat on the back. I'll wait.

Good?? Ok.

It's such a great feeling knowing that no matter how vulnerable my posts are or if I feel the need to rant about something, I can. It's nice to say what I need to say. Even though I've never met 99% of you & probably never will, I really do appreciate every single comment I receive. Just another thing that I am thankful for.

It seems like a lot of us require a certain amount of alone time to maintain our sanity. I think that being able to sit with your own thoughts is extremely important. Maybe it's a female thing because my husband seems to have trouble with being alone. The week I went to Hawaii in Jan/Feb? He went crazy. The guy does not like to be alone in our house at all.

Anywho.

Yesterday I had a near-empty almond butter jar that needed attention so I warmed up an apple with a sprinkle of cinnamon for 90 seconds in the microwave & dumped it into the jar. Topped with some plain Greek yogurt & a few sliced strawberries.

Right after I took this photo I switched the camera to the hand holding the jar & promptly dumped almost all the strawberries onto the floor. Klutz.

I went to work for a couple hours & then to my husband's automotive shop where he was being honored by the Red Carpet Committee from the Chamber of Commerce. There was a speech, a little bit of mingling & then he & I had to talk about the business. Um, say what?? I have to talk too?? I thought I was just supposed to be here for support. ACK.

Thankfully it went smoothly, he did the ribbon cutting ceremony & we all posed for pictures.

I want those scissors. They're 100% real too - they weigh about 6 pounds.

Notice he dressed up?? Score one for the persuasive wife!

After the ceremony I drove back to work & snacked on a Clif Mojo.

For lunch I brought a turkey & cheese sandwich on spelt bread - which I toasted in our little toaster oven at work.

I also added a wedge of laughing cow cheese & some lettuce.

After work the hubs asked if I wanted to go out for dinner to celebrate so I ran home, got in a quick workout (Level 2 of the 30-Day Shred) & ate a cookie dough Luna protein bar (no pic). But not before I split my knee open on a 25 lb tub of cat litter - klutz again.

We wound up at the Rio where I ordered one of their famous margaritas on the rocks & the steak quesadilla. I forgot my camera - bad blogger. I ate about 2/3 of the quesadilla & of course finished the marg. :)

Friday started off with a simple cup of coffee with cream & an almond butter/plum jam sandwich on spelt bread. I took it to eat in the car but this bread is ridiculously crumbly. I was covered by the time I got to work. Fail.

I also sipped on some POM Wonderful juice.

My packed lunch/snacks for the day are snap peas, a peanut butter perfect foods bar (!!), pink lady apple, spelt English muffin with laughing cow & a couple of hard boiled eggs.
I received a box full of these bars yesterday free from Leigh at the Perfect Foods company. I gave the Peanut Butter flavor to Dave this morning for breakfast (have yet to hear his review) and I also grabbed one for my afternoon snack. Full review to come once I've had all the flavors.

This weekend Dave and I are going to Denver for a two-day training for automotive business owners. I'm sure it will be just as exciting as it sounds. :( Especially since I'll be completely confused the whole time....BUT I was promised two nights in a hotel & a fun night out on Saturday.

Wanna bribe a foodie to give up her weekend? Offer her a free dinner out in a big city. Works every time.

Enjoy your weekend!
