Speedy Gonzales

I’m taken aback a little each morning when I get up and make my way to the shower only to realize that it’s still dark out. WTF!! When did that happen? I’m so not ready for the shorter days.

• 2/3 cup water
• 1/3 cup Quaker oats
• cinnamon
• dried cherries
• almond butter
• hemp seeds

At least my oats are a consistent part of the day! :D

Time at work went like the speed of light today! Hence the post title. I was super busy and before I knew it, it was home time. Gotta love those kinds of days. I broke about 11:30 to down half a Clif Mojo Bar;

Love me some mountain mix! I took care of the other half later in the afternoon. I did go to the gym today, but only for a fast paced walk on the treadmill. The darn cold is being quite persistent and I didn’t want to push my luck. I popped the incline to 4.5% and motored along.

Lunch was a salad of sorts today. I just tossed a few things into a bowl and called it a day! Rice, cherry tomatoes, feta and fig balsamic dressing. C’est tout!

It was actually pretty decent!

I got dinner going a little earlier tonight because DD started her dance class tonight and had to be there for 6pm. This will continue on Monday’s until the end of May. I can’t believe this is her 7th year of dance! WOW!

I burnt grilled chicken legs on the BBQ along with some tomatoes and zucchini. The kids were having a bit of a brawl and the bird caught fire while I was playing referee! I did manage to scrape most of the char off! :/

I got sneaky and did a real close up tonight! That stuff on the ‘maters is some Parm cheese. I really enjoyed the tomatoes off the grill. They ended up with a nice smoky flavour to them. I dug into a piece of strawberry/rhubarb/peach pie for dessert…..literally!

The bugger fell apart on me while in transit to my plate. I whined about it for a bit and when I downloaded my picture’s, I found an intact piece there!

Must be my hub’s. :D Broken or not, this was one stellar piece of pie!

I cruised around Winner while DD was off to class and found a cute black sweater, a fall bowl (could NOT resist!) and this here tea;

I’m sipping on it while I type this out and it is SO good! I’ve never seen this brand before. There was a chamomile one as well that I think I might go back for. I think the # of bowls I have may match the # of tea flavours I have. They each have their own space in the kitchen!! Those are 2 things I can’t seem to resist while out and about. Different nut butters are catching up rather quickly. Ooops! :D What do you have trouble passing up while out shopping?

Bye for now!!
