Today ended up being a bit of a rush around. I had a bunch of errands to run mid-afternoon, so lunch was a quick chow-down at the kitchen counter.
Turkey, cukes and hummus wrapped in an ancient grains tortilla…
Apparently I must have eaten it before getting further photos!
While running errands I had to head downtown, so made a pit stop at lululemon. (Where I tried on the Astro pant and I’m totally in love! I am certain they named it “astro” because it makes asses look out of this world!)
They had a cute April Fool’s joke going on…
It was funny watching people stop to read the signs and obviously believe it! Could you imagine?! The horror!
I did buy a super cute new No Limit tank for yoga classes (and general Summer livin’ I’m sure!). It was my replacement gift from Arron since I ended up returning the Garmin he got me for my birthday. He laughed when I thanked him (mostly because I actually bought another gift, but somewhat because he is sure I must own stock in lulu).
Speaking of lulu-fool’s…did you see the funny product they released today?
The No-Mat!! Almost seems plausible if it didn’t look so goofy.

They really went all out. Here’s a video on how to personalize your own No-Mat. Seriously creative.
Because I stupidly went downtown near rush hour, it took me a while to get out of there so I snacked on this Kashi bar I found smooshed in the bottom of my purse…
I am so glad I work from home when I realize what traffic is really like. I’ll die if I ever have to commute again.
When I got home I threw together a salad and a treasure from the freezer. Chicken Pot Pasta Salad!
Simple salad in the big silver bowl: organic mixed greens, radishes, matchstick carrots, cucumber, EVOO and S&P…
Topped with a serving of Chicken Pot Pasta. It slightly wilted the lettuce and made a healthy yet comforting meal. Nom!
I had planned to spend the evening catching up on work. Arron left tonight for his impromptu trip to Winnipeg to see his son before his big deployment so I ended up on the phone with my Mom for over two hours, then puttering around tidying up like I always do when he leaves.
It’s funny…I’m totally used to him going away…it’s really a major part of our lives…but this time is different…it’s a big step to the even bigger step of his major deployment and my subsequent move.
Blah.
So now I’ve grabbed my sippy cup of water and a few Girl Scout caramel deeeeeeeeeeeelights, and here I am snug as a bug in a rug talking to you all.
I don’t have tomorrow off because it’s not considered a stat holiday in the US. Kind of a bummer, but I actually have a ton of work to get caught up on so it’s OK. I hope to keep focused and just bang things out bright and early.
One can only hope! :)

Lol, I'm hoping to never have to commute for a job again either. Every time I go to my Mom's and get stuck behind a slow person I'm thankful I don't have to travel that route on a regular basis anymore!
Jaime: Oh girl, what a tough time. :( If there's anything I can do anything for ya please let me know - Sbux, wine etc., xoxo *hugs*
Last year lulu did the same thing saying they were closing down and I went there on my b-day for a lulu outfit and I laughed at all the people on the streets stopping in their tracks in horror! lol I knew better of COURSE!
This year, they got hubby b/c he was walking by and saw the sign and called me immediately called me to make sure I knew! lol I told him it was April Fools and he's all "it's after 12!" So i tweeted how funny it was and then Lulu tweeted back trying to pull my leg that it was true! Friggers! lol
I want those caramel cookies. They look sooo good!
And what Lynn said. If you need anything just let me know :)
I've been trying to avoid a Lulu addiction, I don't think my bank account can handle yet another shopping addiction. You're making it difficult.... pants that make your ass look out of this world. I need me some of those!!
