When I don't take pictures of my breakfast, I eat PopTarts. At first, it was the the organic PopTarts from Trader Joe's, but now I have stooped to the generic-not-organic-not-whole-wheat-ones. I need an intervention.
However, Margaret loves them and they (somehow?) keep me full until lunch.
When I remember about my 9:00 meeting with a client while pulling out of my driveway at 8:40, my usual 30 minute drive to work miraculously turns into 20 minutes. I also learned that my Terrain can off road just fine because my new neighbors had their cars' parked in the middle of the street(?). After I honked a few times I drove through their grass to get to work. Crazed, late, pregnant women who just drank their one cup of coffee for the day will do anything. I hope I made a good first impression.
When I eat grapes and cottage cheese for lunch most days of the week I eventually get sick of them. I didn't know it was possible, but after 20+ meals of the same combo, I found I need to give it a break. Moving on to pineapple and cottage cheese now...
When I watched this week's episode of The Parenthood I ugly-cried.
Actually, it was more of an hysterical sob. I literally couldn't catch my breath. If someone would have come to my house he/she would have thought the worst. Don't watch it. But do watch it, because it is such a good show.
When I meet up with my friends from high school, I am soooo happy.
Sarah (bottom left, who is doing her residency in North Carolina and who I visited a few months ago) is in town for this week and we all met up last night. Even though our conversations have changed from boys, shopping, and homework, to parenting, work-work, and maybe still a little boys and a little shopping, the dynamic still feels the same. Seeing these girls fills my heart.
When I open birthday presents I am so excited.
Sarah gave me the cutest measuring cups
and little bowls. When I got home and showed Dan, I told him that I was going to use these for my ice cream. He laughed and asked if I was going to use all 4 at once. Whatever. My ice cream serving size may need a reality check and these bowls will help.
Thought for the day
Question for the day
What is your favorite Pop Tart flavor? I have mostly stuck with brown sugar and cinnamon, but I saw pumpkin pie at the store the other day and almost bought them.
Are you still friends with your friends from high school? I know a lot of times people lose touch with high school friends - and I have with some, but feel blessed to still be close with a few.
Gah, I missed Parenthood this week! I've so many comment about needing a tissue. I'm gonna have to watch it on Hulu tonight.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I want a PopTart now.
*Seen so many comments
DeleteYou need a tissue (or at least a sleeve) for sure! :)
DeleteI haven't watched Parenthood but my friend was just telling me about it last night. Not a huge pop tart fan (the WW points!). But I think I would like to try pumpkin. One of my best friends is a friend from high school.
ReplyDeleteI missed reading your blog while I was gone! I love this post. I wish I could say things as succinct and to the point as you do... Love the measuring cups and bowls! Poptarts are a weakness for me. I have to stay clear. I'd actually forgotten about them! But there is a Trader Joe's run in store tomorrow... hmmm...
ReplyDeleteI missed you reading too! :) I do try to stay on point, but that is because in 6th grade my English teacher would scratch out half of my papers, saying a lot of my words were pointless. Ha! Now at work I have to always add MORE detail, because they say I am too brief. Haha.
DeleteShould I say "sorry" or "you are welcome" for telling you about the pop tarts? Haha.
I ugly-cried, too AND I think T had some allergy issues or something. Love that show! :)
ReplyDeleteI love good ol chocolate on chocolate pop tarts!!! the best!!!! Smores are good too, i bet pumpkin pie is amazing...
ReplyDeleteOh Racheal, Pumpkin Pie, I must find these. I saw pumpkin donuts the other night, and had to pull myself away from the shelf. I did not give in. When it comes to pop tarts, chocolate fudge are my favorite, more so when put in the toaster. YUM!
ReplyDeleteI have two girls from high school that I have been friends with for more than 20 years. Oops just gave away my age. :) One has been there for me through everything. spats with my hubby, the birth of my daughter, and she was a phone call away when my dad died 8 months ago. I cannot imagine her not in my life.
Good for you! I hope I stay friends with these girls that long! :)
