Walk-Thru Coffee

I officially booked my mover today.  June 25th!  My worldly possessions (minus the cat, clothes and a few choice plants) will be loaded up and hauled across the country.  My road trip will start two days later.  Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!

Before I did that I checked another item from my never ending to-do list.  Took my car in for a couple of recalls and a burnt out brake light.  While I waited I walked up the block for my morning coffee.  Was heading for Timmy's (blech) when I realized that the drive-up cappuccino bar allowed walk-ups too!

I sipped a large triple non-fat vanilla latte.

Also munched this banana I carted around in my purse this morning.

After the car appointment I came home to work for a bit, then ran back out for a chiro appointment.  I've finally learned that going to the chiropractor the day after going to massage makes a HUGE difference. 

I grabbed a granola bar from the stash on the chiro's counter. :)

Before hunkering down to get some serious work done, I made lunch.  This baby watermelon has been staring at me all week, so today I made it a salad superstar!

Watermelon + feta = deeeelish

So a quick Watermelon Salad was born.  Insanely easy.

  • 1/2 baby watermelon, cubed (about 3 cups)
  • 4-6 romaine leaves, chopped
  • 2 ounces light feta, crumbled
  • drizzle of olive oil
  • drizzle of balsamic vinegar
  • s&p to taste
  • missing today: fresh basil

Mary's Crackers on the side for crunch.

Dinner is going to be a bit late...cuz it's sushi at Doraku!!  Woooo.  Belated birthday dinner for Miss Sarah and I can't wait.

Just snacked on a bowl of cereal to hold me over.  Kickin' it old school with Special K Vanilla Almond with vanilla soy milk.

It ain't no Kashi Honey Almond Crunch, but I still lurve it.

Incidentally this is what I had for dinner last night after my incredibly sweaty and lovely yoga class.  After the class I stayed away from the computer, chatted with my Mom and didn't turn my brain on for kitchen options.  Sometimes that just the best!

Weirdly, I had watermelon and feta salad this week, too! Mine has a secret ingredient though. The salad is watermelon chunks, fresh mint, lime juice, a little Splenda, and crumbled feta. The contrast of the mint and the watermelon is amazing! I think you should give it a try.
