- alarm went off at 4:45, 4:46 and 4:47. yes, i set three.
- i pressed snooze until 6 AM. i had good intentions to wake up and work out at 5, but it just didn’t happen. not sure why it didn’t.. since i went to bed at NINE THIRTY the night before.. but it didn’t. i am a snooze monster.
- threw on my workout attire and did two insanity dvds:
- pure cardio
- cardio abs

- showered, did my makeup, got dressed.
- turned on the electric kettle and grinded the coffee for a pot of french press.
- put oats on the stove to cook.

- lunch time! went to the kitchen and fixed my lunch.
- took my lunch into the conference room for its photo shoot. totally normal.
- thought about how delicious this spinach, cottage cheese and three grain medeterranean salad would be as soon as it hit my mouth.
- got harassed by my boss as i was exiting the photo studio conference room. he told me i better hurry and get my lunch up on the internet. all in due time, boss man.
- opened my google reader to read some blogs while eating lunch. do you know whose this one was?
- how about this one?
- so many blogs.. so little time.. didn’t get to you all today.
- finished my lunch, took more supplements and vitamins.
- debated taking all my dishes down to the kitchen to wash them, then decided against it and added my lunch bowl to the growing pile. what?

- took a break to play words with friends.
- took a photo of my iPhone cover because i realized i never showed it to you guys. isn’t it dope? i got it off society6.com

- drove home. thought i was FOR SURE going to run out of gas.
- got real nervous.
- passed a dead skunk in the road
- passed another subaru driver who gave me “the two finger wave”. did i miss the secret initiation meeting when i bought my subaru? every time i pass another subaru driver, they do this secret little wave. and i am never quite sure how to react…sure wish i had been invited to the initiation meeting.
- made it home. didn’t run out of gas. made a mental note to leave early tomorrow so i can get gas.
- walked inside, kissed the husband, the basset hound and the entlebucher cavalier.

- prepped the sweet potatoes and threw them in the oven.
- prepped the fish sticks.
- put the fish in the oven.
- made a sauce using greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, dried dill and old bay seasoning.
- watched the ovens and waited.. patiently.. oh, and steamed the broccoli.

I have always said I”m a “bullet points girl” – anything else and you lose me. Loved this!
*Love your phone cover
*You love lists so you probably love bullets :)
*Those shoes are divine they look super comfy
I love the bullet points. Are your shoes Sanuks? I LOVE THEM! Andy has a pair and I have 2 pairs of the yoga mat flip flops they make. LOVE!
Owl phone cover? We are soulmates.
i like white fish, but not very often.
as for filling up on gas, i wait forever and ever. I put it off way too love, but i have never ran out! so its all good lol *knock on wood*
*Love the shoes!
*I love fish. I need recipes too! What you made tonight looks delicious!
*I get in SOO much trouble with Ryan over both my gas procrastination and my oil change procrastination.
I love the cover! I also almost always run out of gas, my gas light has never worked so I keep going and going until I’m sure I’m on fumes. Luckily I’ve never had to walk to a gas station!
I’m not sure if I ever got the two-fingered-wave memo either! Then again, I think the most popular car in Colorado Springs has to be the Subaru Outback (which I have) or the Subaru Forester, so we don’t feel the need to salute each other. I think it’s more like an unspoken, “Yup…me too…awesome…yeah.”
i loved this list! so many details! :) i would NOT want to blog like that every day – it seems like it would have taken forever to write!
i can’t believe how long it’s been since i’ve had fish sticks – since high school!??
i love those shoes. i wish my feet could wear them (mine are too narrow)
Those shoes look comfy!! I can see why you like them. And I adore fish…it’s one of my favorite source of protein. I love oily fish like mackerel, croaker, chilean seabass…the sustainable issue always trips me up though!
Just caught up with the last post and was touched by Momma B’s post! Haha, if she is serious about adopting all your readers…she will need a heck of a shoe-house! ;-)
LOVE the shoes! they match your mousepad… :D and I recognize Allie’s pineapple crowns!
Jason makes this awesome salmon on the grill – I top it with dijon mustard and brown sugar, put it on a cedar plank and he grills it, SO yum! it’s almost grilling season, I cannot wait!
I am SUCH a procrastinator with gas… when the light goes on I reset the tripometer to zero, so I know I’ve got about 27 miles more! once I cut it too close and ran out of gas on the freeway offramp.
I love handwritten lists, and love bullet points!
I forgot about that notepad!! I have one myself somewhere around here. This challenge seems like a blast. Maybe I’ll try it out someday.
Mmmmmmmmm…. fish….. I love fish, all kinds… but orange roughy is by far my favorite!
I have run out of gas more than I would ever like to admit.
Love bullet points… and lists and this post! :)
bullet points are so fun! this was really fun to read. :)
I just realized I was typing like you. HAHA!
Love the shoes. Love the owl iphone cover. I don’t have a cover for my phone but maybe I should look for a cool one.
Those fish sticks look awesome. I love fish but for some reason it never occurred to me to try to make my own fish sticks. That’s an awesome idea I might borrow!
Ahhh I want your dinner! Looove fish! I really like grilled mahi or salmon in a teriyaki glaze. Mmmm. My breakfast today looked similar to yours and I agree- so tasty! Wish I had a toucan spoon :)
I’m not a huge fan of fish, but those fish sticks look so good!
Thanks for posting about Society 6… I’m looking for a cute cover for mine so I’m headed there to check them out!
that was fun!!! communication would be so efficient if we could always use bullets!
~love your shoes!!!
~made me laugh to see the pile of dishes under your desk!
~i’m ok with fish, not passionate about it, don’t hate it. a couple times a week is fine…love the way my brother does salmon, broiled with a maple syrup glaze
~gas tank is always on FULL! after all, you never know when you suddenly have to make a 300 mile trip! haha!
will look forward to your video!
WOw, when you bullet it all out like it, it looks like you had one incredibly productive day. :) I love the fish stick recipe.
I love your phone cover- so cute, so you! This is kind of a fun post. I’m not doing the thirty day challenge…but I kind of want to do this one anyways :) Dinner looks like it came out great and it makes me want sweet potatoes again tonight. Luckily, I have some on hand. Can’t wait for the video whoop!
1. do you like fish? favorite kind? favorite recipe? I’m iffy on fish, there are a few I can eat…or could eat. Since I’ve become preggers, fish has been a little tougher. I blame it on my super nose
2. when it comes to filling the gas tank.. are you a procrastinator or are you a never-have-to-worry-about-running-out type? I usually am pretty aware of where I am on the gas-o-meter. But I do let it go to pretty much empty each time (even though Josh tells me this is bad for my car ;))
I have that same design (from your phone cover) on a shirt! Love it! Actually I’m wearing it in my profile picture.
The thing about the Subaru wave made me laugh. My ex boyfriend drives a 1970 VW Beetle and vintage VW drivers totally have a secret wave! Actually it’s just peace fingers, but it’s also supposed to be the “V”. When I bought my Yaris, I decided that I wanted to start a Yaris wave (making a “Y”) but it seems to confuse a lot of people because the “Y” hand looks exactly like the “metal fingers” symbol…
I am not a fan of fish, although I wish it was. So lean with so many health benefits.
And I am usually not a procrastinator when it comes to my gas tank…especially since gas prices go up every other day. I always feel like I should get it NOW before it goes up again.
so many blogs.. so little time.. didn’t get to you all today. = isnt that the truth!
love the phone cover. I just had my iphone stolen (only 6 weeks old!) out of my purse yesterday. posted about my nightmare. And i think i need that case for my new phone when it arrives.
the dip for the fish and sweet taters…nice!
i love fish. i just dont eat it anymore. I think I am going to start tho…but i love to bake/broil it in the oven with lemon juice, EVOO, season it, keep it very simple.
hahahah this is hilarious!your phone cover i smaking my plain blu eone self-conscious :)
oh and fish has been my late obsession…i never make it at home because for some reason it grosses me out when i make it but I order everytim ei’m out to eat!i really like tilapia and mahi
I loved reading about your day! :)
I don’t like fish. I’ll only eat shellfish such as shrimp, crab, lobster tail, clams and scallops. Those are the only fishy things I will eat. :)
I am a total procrasinator when it comes to filling my tank. I actually need to stop after work today but I really don’t want to.
i love bullet points…they make it all easier to deal with! your phone case is so cute!
One day I will win a words with friends game with you, my friend. I know it hasn’t happened in the like 10 games that we’ve played, but one day!
Love this post! It is funny, because it was bullet points I felt like I needed to read it fast, as if is was a commercial recap or something. Way fun though.
I love Tuna steak for dinner with a little evoo and black sesames seeds on it, grilled. It’s way good. Gas well I don’t drive that much because I live in Brooklyn so I guess I don’t really pay much attention.
Love you!!!!!!! I recognized BOTH blogs you were reading ; ) ha!
Those fish sticks look amazing, I love the pop chips idea with it! How yummy!!!! Can you please just come and cook for me ; ) I seriously need to come visit you for a weekend! Would be amazing!
I run on fumes! lol! I am always on ‘E’ , and mike is so opposite, he will fill up when it’s not even down to half a tank, he is crazy! lol
Have a beautiful day!
LOVE the phone cover!!
xoxo <3
I love your phone case! And the first blog is Live Laugh Eat — not sure about the second one.
Usually I am good about getting gas the night before, since I never seem to wake up early enough to do it before work. Or I go get gas on my lunchbreak. But I almost always wait for the gas light to come on, eek!
Just had to say I love words with friends. I just got an iphone and I am officially addicted! I love your iphone cover…so cute. Whenever I see owls I think of you and I see owls alot. Loved your post. It was really fun!
Your desk looks really organized compaired to mine!
I use to eat fish. Loved mahi mahi and salmon.
I hate getting gas too. I usually wait and make my fiancé get it. And now that it is soooo expensive, I hate it even more!
You know I love those owls! And fish breaded in s&v chips is brilliant!
– love the bullets.
– love the phone cover! :)
Haha…this made me laugh! :D Cute!
I am ALWAYS waiting till my gas light comes on to get gas….it’s probably not a good habit. :/
I love fish – after years of refusing to eat it because the bones put me off! You have to try this Delia recipe for salmon with pesto crust – it’s delish! Do you guys know who Delia Smith is in the States? She’s old-school and she rocks :) give it a whirl! x http://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/main-ingredient/fish-and-seafood/salmon/roasted-salmon-fillets-with-a-crusted-pecorino-and-pesto-topping.html
I love that you have a notepad that says Stressed is just desserts spelled backwards. When I learned that, my world was pretty much turned upside down.
haha I like this one!
This is making me want to do the 30 day challenge too. I think that giving purpose to your day REALLY makes a difference. Each day should have a purpose!
yay for subies! my car has gotten me through some serious storms, love that thing. my favorite fish is salmon and cod, and smoked salmon on toast with chives and cottage cheese or goat cheese, yumm! been enjoying that lately, love it
hahahaha I love this post, your little side comments had me cracking up and I LOVE that iphone cover! I used to have a wallet with owls on it and it looks similar to that!
I am a fish lover, My favorite recipe is to make a little teriyaki sauce, and bake it in the oven because the sugars in the sauce get caramelized…mmmmm :-)
I procastinate every time I need gas. I should probably start filling up each time I have only 1/2 a tank left.. but that would be at least once or twice a week!
I have a Subaru, too, and haven’t gotten any 2-fingered waves – maybe a special sort of 1-finger wave, but that’s not the Subaru’s fault…
I’m the kind of person who starts thinking about and stressing over filling my gas tank up once it hits a quarter of a tank, which it did this morning. I’ll stare at it incessantly while driving, always convinced I’m on my last drop of gas.
Longest post ever.
Look like you had a busy day! Can’t wait to try that fish stick recipe, looks amazing!
sometimes I wish I could be a ‘snooze’ person– but once that alarm goes off I’m up and at it.
your productivity still puts mine to shame though lol.
i don’t really eat fish, except for the rare occasions I crave shrimp or scallops or a spicy tuna roll haha. Love grilling shrimp and scallops with some lemon or coconut additions but I also love making a paella.
WOO – you had a full day. I love that you stack your dirty dishes at your desk ( me too – eek!) and that you go into the conference room for your photo shoot. LOL awesome!!
The fish looks great – love the idea of “breading” it in pop chips!!
I’m BAD about getting gas – my car is my id – I treat it horribly and always have. I’m trying to get better but am still known for running out of gas and riding around for hours with my gas light on – oopsie.
I love fish! Sea bass is one of my faves. I love it pan seared with just olive oil and salt and pepper. So light and delicious!
I usually wait until the light comes on… I hate getting gas.
I will have to give you the two finger wave next time I see you. haha ;) Maybe I will make those fish sticks when D is out of town for like 4 weeks. Getting gas is my most hated chore. I NEVER fill up before the light comes on. HATE IT!
I have to comment about the “secret wave” thing. We dont have a Suburu but my boyfriend has a Jeep and he has been swearing to me for years that there is this “jeep club” and they all wave at each other no matter what. I wasnt buying it , and tried to tell him that there is also a Ford Escort club (but not so much). Anywho, the more i pay attention the more i do really think there is a jeep club wave- so i wouldnt be suprised if the Suburu drivers also have a club. Weird. But awesome.
I just wanted to tell you that a few weeks ago I bought a contigo bottle for my tea because of your rave reviews, and it is AMAZING! It’s 11:45 right now, my tea is still hot, and I left the house at 8:30! Thanks so much for the tip!
I am so lazy and am always down to fumes when I finally stop to get gas. It stresses me out so much, why do I continue to put myself through that? I guess, like I said….laziness! ;)
