Hi guys! Can we discuss my undies for a second?\u00a0 I have a story about them which is hilarious and totally embarrassing at the same time.\u00a0 First some background!\u00a0 About two months ago Scott and I were in the car on our way to a martial arts class.\u00a0 He was wrapping his hands with hand wraps (what boxers wear) when I noticed something sticking to the bottom of his wrap.\u00a0 Yup, a black pair of my undies.\u00a0 Whoops!\u00a0 I pulled it off and stashed it under the blanket that covers the backseat.\u00a0 The reason the two even met is because I wash wraps and delicates in a mesh laundry bag.\u00a0 He pulled his wraps out not thinking anything about it, but they had a friend.\u00a0 Good thing we caught it before we were in class!\u00a0 Oh how we laughed.<\/p>\n

Whew crisis averted!\u00a0 Somehow the undies end up in the trunk and I think it’s from rolling the blanket up and shoving it in the trunk when we had company over.\u00a0 I think but I’m not positive.\u00a0 I completely forgot all about them!<\/p>\n

Last night we did end up going to the grocery store.\u00a0 It actually was nice, no one was around really so shopping was a breeze.\u00a0 We did have a slight encounter with a gentleman in the canned tuna\/salmon section who first started talking to us about herring but it somehow derailed into how handy those yogurt drinks (smoothies?) are.\u00a0 Because when it’s too early in the morning to grab a beer you can have one of those instead.\u00a0 I bet you didn’t know that did you?\u00a0 Neither did I.\u00a0 Try to learn something new everyday kids, that’s the goal.\u00a0 That was one of my lessons yesterday.<\/p>\n

My other lesson came at the checkout.\u00a0 I told the cashier that we had some bags and plopped our reusable bags down on the counter.\u00a0 I was standing there while Scott was unloading the cart.\u00a0 I noticed something darker mixed in with our bags and thought that one of the handles got wet somehow.\u00a0 Then I noticed Scott giving me bug eyes and looking at the bags.\u00a0 It took me two seconds to realize that holy shit that’s my undies sitting there, not a wet handle.\u00a0 I picked up a packed bag and the undies, squirreling them away as quickly and covertly as I could.\u00a0 I’m sure the cashier saw them but at least she was a chick.\u00a0 I’m not sure if that makes the situation any better but I’m pretending it does.\u00a0 I was trying not to crack up because let’s be honest, that’s effing hilarious.\u00a0 Once the groceries were bagged we bolted and didn’t look back.<\/p>\n

The moral of the story is, if you use reusable bags, double check to make sure your undies aren’t frolicking along with them.\u00a0 At least mine were 1. attractive and 2. just washed. Silver lining people!<\/p>\n

By the time we were done shopping, putting away groceries, and sitting down for the day it was 10pm.\u00a0 I know, crazy!\u00a0 I was also starving.\u00a0 Yesterday it seems that my stomach would not stay full.\u00a0 I had a snack.<\/p>\n

\"Snacklicious

Snacklicious <\/p><\/div>\n

I busted out some garlic hummus which I was afraid of at first but it’s flipping fantastic.\u00a0 Kashi crackers and two slices of sheep’s milk cheese.\u00a0 I had the smaller one and gave the other to Scott.\u00a0 Then I went back in for a bigger piece!\u00a0 And two very small glasses of wine. Oh and there’s a laughing cow wedge there, and I had two crackers with that.\u00a0 The rest Scott ate.\u00a0 It was 11pm and I crashed out in bed.<\/p>\n

Normally I get up at 7am on Saturdays but decided to try and sleep till 8am.\u00a0 I was close, woo!\u00a0 I got up and got Rocks taken care of, then I poured myself some coffee.<\/p>\n

\"Perfection

Perfection <\/p><\/div>\n

Which was totally amazing today.\u00a0 Partly due to the Meijer Organic creamer which is actually the best creamer yet.\u00a0 It’s so good and makes the coffee taste creamy dreamy.\u00a0 After watching some rich people landscape their backyard (Dude was using all marble. Told you, rich) and once Scott got up, I made breakfast.<\/p>\n

\"Blueberry

Blueberry blue <\/p><\/div>\n

No cold oats this morning, just regular oats.\u00a0 With a banana, raspberries, and blueberries.\u00a0 Mmm!\u00a0 Mix-ins were crushed walnuts and a small scoop of almond butter.\u00a0 I also had a little bit more coffee which turned into just a few sips and then I was done.\u00a0 I watched a little bit more TV and then it was off to MT<\/abbr> class for some all around butt-kicking fun.<\/p>\n

After class we headed over to Sam’s to get a few things.\u00a0 I like getting salad mix from there because it’s cheaper and seems more fresh.\u00a0 Because we only needed a few things that allowed us a little bit more time to look around.\u00a0 I never look at their clothes but I did today and holy crap maybe I should pay more attention!\u00a0 I got two pairs of really nice sweatpants for $11 each with an original price tag of $54.\u00a0 What the wha?!\u00a0 Who pays $54 for some sweatpants?\u00a0 Good lord.\u00a0 I also got jammie pants, two sets of two for $13 each.\u00a0 And a set of two pairs of yoga capris for $20.\u00a0 Oh yeah!\u00a0 And we got some wine and various other fun things.\u00a0 I also snagged a sample of Kung Pow Chicken which was horrible.\u00a0 I needed something in my stomach because I was starving but I didn’t have my purse so there was no emergency bar available to me.\u00a0 This had no flavor and was totally processed tasting, yuck!\u00a0 But I ate it and I’m over it.<\/p>\n

Finally back home and bags unloaded, I made some lunch!\u00a0 Super super quick:<\/p>\n

\"Cold<\/a>

Cold because I'm hardcore <\/p><\/div>\n

One small slice and 1\/2 a slice of leftover pizza.\u00a0 Cold because that’s how I roll.<\/p>\n

\"Plenty<\/a>

Plenty of nut love today <\/p><\/div>\n

And a very easy salad:<\/p>\n
