Hey y'all!  Hope your Tuesdays are going really well!  I know mine is (for the most part)...it's been really great to read everyone's comments on having a pen pal :)  I would totally recommend it to anyone! Lunch today was different than usual!  Started things off right with a bagel thin (everything flavor): And a Hugh Jass salad with spinach, romaine, 1 large carrot, and the remainder of my cherry balsamic vinaigrette (check out the recipe page for the details!) Followed with some snacking ... continue reading...

First, you should check out this amazing Larabar (yes, you read that correctly!) giveaway at Health for the Whole Self! OR This giveaway for some Bob's Red Mill samplers from A Foodie Stays Fit! Morning everyone!  Happy Tuesday :)  How about that basketball game last night?!  I was going for Butler...but don't 'boo' me yet!  I don't have anything against Duke at all - it's a great school! - I just always go for the underdogs (or whatever team Nate is cheering against :)).  It was definitely ... continue reading...

Afternoon guys!  Hope you guys are having a wonderful Monday so far!  Just remember, it means there's only 4 more days til the weekend instead of 5 now ;) Today's eats have been pretty interesting as I still haven't gone to the grocery store (on the to-do list for tonight)!  We are in severe, dire need for some fresh fruit and veggies in our house! First up, some peanut M&Ms because, well, you know, it's the day after Easter! Besides, a small handful doesn't hurt, right?  Right!  Let's ... continue reading...

So wow, I can't believe that I haven't had a "real" post since Friday night!  I would say we have some catching up to do :)  This weekend was very lazy and unproductive, and Friday night was no exception!  Nate ended up leaving work a little early, so by the time I got home he was fast asleep on the couch.  Poor guy was exhausted!  We decided to eat out that night.  Here are some hints: Any ideas?  No?  I think these next 2 hints might help :) MEXICAN FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!! I'll be honest, ... continue reading...

Hey y'all!  The winner's listed at the bottom of this post...but I hope that you want to read what's in the middle too ;)  Today was such a sloooooooooow day at work.  Granted, I'm not upset about that, but it definitely made the hours creep by!  I started getting snacky around 11 and dug into this bag of locally made chips: I LOVE salt and pepper chips!  These were no exception, and they had a little bit of sweetness to them as well.  Such a tasty snack!  Then (since we all know that a bag of ... continue reading...

Today's the last day of the Stonyfield Oikos contest!  I'll be picking a winner at 5pm Mountain Time today...so make sure you've signed up!  :) Little known fact (to the blogging community) about me:  straight out of college I was in the management training program for Starbucks (SBUX is their NASDAQ name) in Dallas!  I was doing that for a year and half before I figured out it just wasn't for me.  I liked the early morning shifts because I could get more done during the day, but as I progressed ... continue reading...

Mustache Madness was/is today, and even though I don't LOVE Nate's mustache, it has been great to see the entire company participate in something fun.  There's been a lot of laughter around the office!  Also, it's the end of my company's fiscal year, so they arranged for the ENTIRE COMPANY to have a free 10-minute massage from Bodywork Boutique!  Talk about ... continue reading...

Today I'm just going to do a run-through of ... continue reading...
