Good Morning!
I just wanted check in this morning with ya! I am so busy right now that I feel like I am going non-stop. I love it though! When I am not busy I feel like my life is crawling by...Busy makes the day go by faster which means it makes the weekend come faster! I am taking Monday off (for no reason at all) so a long weekend is what is in store for me, boy I cant wait! Let's go back for a minute though.
Over the weekend I bought a new laptop! Yay! With the new camera I couldn't download my pictures because are so high quality! I have had the same laptop for about 6 years now and well, it was about time! I shopped around Saturday and found one that had all the requirements that I had. I gave Best Buy one more shot...and to my surprise they were helpful and had me walking out with my new computer in under a hour. I am pleased so far with my purchase! 
It is pretty sweet looking at a screen that is not half broken ;)
Looks like I am moving on up!
This post is going to be all over the place but you know how I roll by now...A few things that I want to talk about since we are on the topic of entertainment is T.V. I haven't really talked about this too much but I feel the need today...You all know by now that I have moved into my own place and it is p-e-r-f-e-c-t (for me). There was a couple of surprises when I moved in, naturally. One of the surprises that I got when I moved in was that there was cable "included". Ok, so I could be stealing it, I have no idea! All I know is I plugged the t.v. in and the screen started talking. I have one problem though.
I HATE T.V.!!!! I will admit, when I found that I had free cable I was jumping around like a kid. I haven't had cable in 7 years and I will admit, it changed my life when we decided to cut it off.
I HATE T.V.!!!! I will admit, when I found that I had free cable I was jumping around like a kid. I haven't had cable in 7 years and I will admit, it changed my life when we decided to cut it off. Well, one hour of t.v. has now turned into about two a night for me. I know that in the grand scheme of things that isn't that bad and with all that I do I may deserve a little "down time" before bed. Except one thing...I HATE IT. I have decided something just now actually. When I get home today, I am "cutting it off." I thought about this a day or so ago. I had a little day dream of myself calling the cable company and saying "I think that I am stealing free cable, could you come out and disconnect it from my house please." I laughed at my desk at the thought of making that phone call. I even thought about video taping going to the store and begging for the free brain sucker be taken away from me. That would be hilarious to me. Only.
Well, I am not ready to actually dive in however I am ready to go half way. When I get home the t.v. will be connected to the dvd player (right now I can only have cable and no dvd player because there is only one connection to the t.v. and I don't have a box). No, I don't want your box. Thanks though :)
By doing this I will loose the cable and gain a dvd player to watch a movie if I want. I am ready. I have had a full month of cable bliss. I have literally not gone out in 4 weeks. 4 weekends have passed me by and it is because I have found myself on the couch eating and watching the crap on the tube. It just feels comforting and after a few hours it just makes sense to stay put. NO MORE!!! This is not going to continue to happen...
R.I.P. life sucker, known as my T.V. You wont be missed.
R.I.P. life sucker, known as my T.V. You wont be missed.Ok so on to other things! Still on the entertainment topic before moving on to eats. Music! I have a new love in my life (not the tube).
Bon Iver, will you be my boyfriend???So that I can dump your ass and then you can write yet another amazing album in a tin shack crying about how much you once loved me. No worries, I will let you ;)
Seriously though, this album is amazing. I am sure that I am totally late on the music front but if you haven't herd of this guy or this album, get it now. It is dreamy. It is the absolute PERFECT hangout, make out, cookout or workout to album. Ok, maybe not "workout" but you get the idea, I have done yoga with it on though! This album was given to me (by my dear Karen) over the winter and made me cry the first time I heard it. It is magical. I don't rave about new music ever. I am a Neil Young old school 60's and 70's lover. I do come across some gems from time to time and this my friends is worth the purchase. You can thank me later! This guy got dumped, traveled to the mountains and stayed in a tin shack covered in snow while he recorded this album. Everything you hear is him. It's great!
Ok so finally!!! On to eats, lets just do a photo story shall we? What I have been eating for Breakfast:
English sprouted muffin with jam and smart balance. 
Ezekiel toast with a egg and almond butter and pumpkin on the other slice.
Oat bran, almond milk and raisins. Breakfast always has been and always will be my favorite meal of the day. If I am going to allow myself to get away with something it is at breakfast.Lunches:
Hummus and veggies, hummus and veggies and more hummus and veggies. It is all that I want these days, I cant help it. My hummus recipe rocks!Snacks:
Dinners:
Lettuce wraps galore! You know me....when I like something I go for it! Evening munchies:
Frozen watermelon. Thank god Spring is here!!! I missed my fruit!!!
Frozen grapes. They are the perfect all natural Popsicles! I love love love frozen fresh fruit! This is it guys and gals! My rant for the day and my eats for the week! I hope you enjoyed the post today. I will be reviewing products like crazy this week so you may or may not hear about what is going on with me until next week. More than likely not though, you know I cant stay away.
Question of the day...
Do you watch t.v.? If so how many hours a day? If you have a good story on how you broke the habit, tell me!
See you next time!
