Missing Pieces

Well it’s a good thing I happened to notice the gorgeous and take pictures tonight because apparently I totally failed as a food blogger today.  Mondays are sooooo hard.  Waaaah.

Before leaving Michael’s this morning he filled me up with leftover breakfast burrito.  My body was in shock at the concept of food at 7:30am…my eyes were barely open let alone ready to tackle photos.

On the drive home I grabbed a triple grande non-fat vanilla latte with the last of my Starbies gift card.

For second breakfast I busted into the fresh raspberries I forgot in my fridge over the weekend.  Thankfully they were no worse for wear and my yogurt was still good too.

Instead of lunch I munched a Carrot Cake Larabar before heading to the gym.  Quite delicious but I don’t think I would guess the flavour if I didn’t know what it was. 

After the gym I munched on toast with almond butter and another handful of raspberries but I guess my body was still confused by the workout and didn’t tell my brain to grab a camera.

Dinner was a total cop out.  After work I zoned out with my laptop and this weekend’s episodes of True Blood, Entourage and Project Runway.  I had no desire to cook, so while I ran to the grocery store for milk I picked up the most unhealthy deli salad I could find.

Three cheers for mayo, pasta, cheese and ham.  Yum.

The sunset provided the perfect backdrop for chocolate covered almonds, pyjama pants, and Crazytown (also known in your TV Guide as Bachelor Pad).

Happy Monday kids!

Bits of Weekend

Right behind Michael’s house is this lovely green space…perfect for doggie walking (and Saturday morning coffee sipping).

Saturday brunch: egg puff/omelette with corn and ham. Oddly delicious combo.

Impromptu family BBQ.  Perfect excuse for leftover fancy cheeses and such.

Super sunny day.  Breaking in my Greece travelin’ hat and cuddlin’ my pupper.

Hot day quencher.

Rumblin’ tummy filler.

Smart aleck family cheeseballs.  :)

Super late Sunday brunch a la Kitty’s.  Oatmeal appetizer.

2-2-2-2…apparently the kitchen can’t count French Toast.  Win!

Massive breakfast burrito.  This doubled as Monday breakfast as well.

Brunch companions.

Clearly when your Harley’s gear shifter thingamajig goes kaplooey on the drive home you use your girlfriend’s hair elastic to fix it.  Apparently he was a boy scout in a previous life.

After a rough afternoon of sunbathing, book reading, and dog petting a comfort food dinner seemed the way to go.

Salad by her.  Stroganoff by him.

Bye bye weekend, we’ll miss you.

Love from Austin

What a lovely way to start my weekend.  On Friday I popped over to the post office to pick up a package I had missed delivery of.  I just knew it was a much anticipated package from Janna!

Lookie here…another Starbucks City Mug for my ever expanding collection!  (My cupboard is totally overflowing!!)

She also tracked down the Carrot Cake Larabars for me because apparently new flavours take a bazillion years to come to Canada.  (If anyone has the elusive Blueberry Pie Larabars, pleeeeeeaze hook a girl up!)

Literary Love!  I had been tweeting my little heart out about how I cannot get The Help for my Kindle (yet another weird Canadian phenom) and the library waiting list is like six years long.  So instead of trotting out to buy the paperback Janna sent me her copy (which I will then pass along when I’m done) and also Little Bee because she’s certain I will love it.  :)

I’m already on chapter 6 of The Help…loving it…and will probably plow through the entire book this week.

As if that wasn’t enough already she also threw in this totally adorable ceramic travel mug from World Market.  I already sipped my Saturday morning coffee from it while walking the dogs with Michael.  In fact, it’s so cheery maybe I’ll make it my permanent dog walking mug.  :)

Thanks Janna girl!!  Love everything.  You are a sweetheart.  xox
