quickie.

it’s late.

i’m stressed.

but i still want to ramble. what can i say, it makes me happy. but i can’t ramble for long~ i’ve got physical therapy at 7:45 AM.

thanks for those of you who participated in my impromptu protein bar giveaway :) it was fun to see how a lot of you managed to incorporate the word “yahtzee!” into your comments. clever friends. anyway, i pick the winner old school style and asked marshall to give me a random number.. and then i counted the yahtzees until i got to that number.. and so yahtzee #19: marie (reader), you win! email me your address and i will send you some bars.

meal 1: chocolate raspberry protein oats.

  

i could eat this every day. and i probably will, until my EAS chocolate protein powder is gone.

i had a hot lunch date this afternoon! as i was driving to lunch, i polished off my bag of mini bell peppers.

i need to go back to costco. stat.

my lunch date was with mary and shannon!! 

mary is driving cross-country right now, on her way to oregon. she was sweet enough to take some time from her trip to go to lunch with me. it was so nice to finally meet her in person! she is just as sweet as you’d expect from reading her blog. mary is currently staying with shannon who lives a bit south of SLC.  i had never read her blog before so i didn’t “know” her until today~ she is freaking awesome. love meetups!

we went to a mexican joint in the SLC: cafe rio.

meal 2: grilled chicken salad with LOADS of pico.

with GUAC.

good times. then it was back to work. boo.

eventually i hit the road to go meet marshall at the dentist. i had my snack on the go..

meal 3: apple + mighty maple peanut butter.

i chopped the apple, threw it in a mug, slathered the PB on top and threw it in my cup holder. called it good.

yeah. my car is a mess. i am well aware.

yum.

dentists are expensive. yikes. i don’t want to talk about it.

Qs~

1. favorite melon? w-a-t-e-r-m-e-l-o-n. actually i hated honeydew and cantaloupe up until about two years ago. now i love all melons, but nothing beats the watermelon. ever tried a casaba melon? those are pretty good, too!

2. do you like the dentist? i love love love getting my teeth cleaned. it’s the part where i have to get *work* done that i don’t love. luckily that doesn’t happen to often.
