Won't You Be My Neighbor?

First and Foremost, I must give my humble apologies for not blogging yesterday, I meant to after I got home from work, but it got insanely busy at work and I had to stay late and then the bestie came over right after work so we could have our usual Wednesday night pool and karaoke. haha. I only participate in one of these activities, I'll leave it a mystery as to which one ;)

Here are a few pictures of how my night went last night:

wednesday 022
Brittani found her a man straight away...he might be the one!

wednesday 029

I was a little jealous.

wednesday 043

Brittani KILLED the competition.

wednesday 038

I may or may not have been checking blogs on my Blackberry. haha.

wednesday 049

My friend Grant is worse than a girl, he took about 9837492 pictures in which everyone he looked at and promptly deleted. I managed to keep this one though!

Ok, ok enough of that...I know what you are really here for!

wednesday 001

  • Flat Out Wrap
  • Spinach
  • Turkey
  • Salsa
  • Greek Style Hummus
  • Spicy Mustard
  • Golden De-lish Apple
  • PICKLES!

Speaking of pickles dont you find it odd when someone like pickles but hates cucumbers or vice versa?! Does anyone feel that way?!

I tried a new type of hummus in my wrap that I found at the store. It was just called "greek style" so im not sure what the flavor really is, it tasted kinda garlic-y. But I LOVED it, I think I may have even liked it better then my usual Red Pepper Hummus.

I did manage to squeeze in a gym trip that included:

  • 35 minutes on the eliptical
  • 15 minutes on...geez, that other thing. haha.
  • Approx. 400 calories burned.

This morning for breakfast I had the usual oats:

006

There is a seafood restaurant in Charleston that serves a dish called "the bucket of scrapes" and its just a big pail type thing with samples of all kinds of different seafood. This is what I think of when I make oatmeal, because I just throw in anything that I think would be good in oatmeal. So here is my "bowl of scrapes"

  • 1/2 cup oats
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup skim milk
  • 1/2 Naner
  • Handfull of Blueberries
  • Dried Apricots (NEW ADDITION!)
  • Cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp. Maple Syrup

Pretty random mix, but yummy all the same :)

OTHER EXCITING NEWS ALERT: I think I may have found some Arnold's Sandwich Thins. I have done the search online for close stores that sell them, but it always says there are none. Well, yesterday I gave it one last shot and it found TWO STORES in my area that sell them. Now, I havent gotten them yet, so I'm not gonna get my hopes up too high, but I am gonna go on the hunt today and I will let you know the results!

It such a gorgeous day outside and I fully intend to enjoy it girls!Plans for today:

  • Laundry
  • Gym
  • Tanning
  • Spontaneous trip to Asheville??
  • Grocery Trip
Also, Check out the wonderful Erica at Itzy's Kitchen for a great giveaway!

Hope everyone has a bright and sunny day as well! Lots of Love <3 Ems.
