I've had enough

Looks like the split between those who crave change and those who work best with a set routine is pretty even. I'm excited to get a move on with my new attitude - and I think my dad said it best in an email I received early this morning, "The only constant in the universe is change...stagnation is extinction, and anyone who says"but we have always done it that way" is a dinosaur, or soon will be."

Love you, Dad!!

My husband always claims to hate change but he's constantly trying new things, especially when it comes to his automotive business. In fact, tomorrow morning his business is being honored by the Fort Collins Chamber of Commerce. There will even be a red carpet and ribbon cutting ceremony! I'll be taking a couple hours off work to go watch, I'm so proud of my hubby. Now if I could only get him to dress up for it!!

The food highlights of my Tuesday were:

Breakfast: Spelt English muffin with hummus, fried egg, sliced turkey and Sriracha. With a too-ripe banana on the side - way too sweet, I prefer green bananas.
In my effort to warm up after work I made a cup of peppermint tea to honor one of my favorite eclectic bloggers, Heather.
Paired with a cool mint chocolate Clif bar, it was the perfect snack for a snowy winter afternoon.
Another highlight of my day was the warm & comforting dinner I threw together without any prior preparation or planning. Chicken stir-fry with peanut sauce over brown basmati rice.
I cubed and marinated two chicken breasts in tamari, toasted sesame oil and (bottled) spicy peanut sauce for 30 minutes.
My serving (there is rice under there) with a hefty dose of Sriracha.
Workout: 2 miles on treadmill and a 25 minute ab workout on the balance ball.

Remember when I mentioned that we got a bit of snow last week? Well, it melted quickly & then Monday was back to 68 degrees and sunny.

I should have done my much-needed grocery shop then because Tuesday after work the town looked like this:
According to the radio this morning, we are expecting anything between 16 to 20 inches of snow by 6 o'clock this evening. Frick.

To quote my nephew, who was the ring-bearer at my wedding,
"I've had just about enough of this!!"

  1. I'm so confused; are you quitting blogging :-( Or have you just had enough of the snow? I hope whatever change you take is for the best!

  3. More snow? Are you kidding me? It's almost April!!!!!

    Congrats to your husband- that's great! I think people change and branch out a lot naturally so it's not considered "change"...just evolution.

    You don't like ripe bananas?! Crazy lady.

    Can you explain your ab workout? I am new to the balance ball and just do crunches on it!

  13. I am such a fan of egg sandwiches! So easy and delicious! Have you tried this sriracha sauce? It is really good...better than the rooster sauce. Preservative free!
