Happy Monday all! Today was such a Monday in the sense that I think my brain was broken and couldn’t think of anything to eat/pack for breakfast and lunch.
I really pondered getting a Chai Tea Latte this morning for the caffeine, but, I wanted to use my Eco-Friendly Starbuck’s cup!
I got a Venit Iced Non-Fat Decaf Latte with caramel drizzle (3 pts)…I can totally justify this daily because well – it’s a dairy serving and has protein 😀
Guess what?! TJ at TJ’s Kitchen sent me this picture of the same type of Eco-Friendly Cup that you can get at Bed, Bath and Beyond for only $7.99.
If you sign up for their email newsletter you get a 20% off Coupon….$6.40 each ~ DEAL!
In a VERY RARE occurrence for me, I never had breakfast other than my latte. I was so slammed with reports going wrong and well, my computer wanting the day off, that, I didn’t have time to think about breakfast.
Mid morning though…my stomach let me know it was about to eat itself, but, NOTHING sounded good. I opted for some grits (2 pts) and Cabot Cheese (1 pt)
I finalized our vacation plans at lunch ~ woohoo! We are all BOOKED….now the countdown begins!
I have been craving sushi for like two weeks and to me that means I MUST NEED an Omega fix 😀 I decided to get brave and venture into trying the Rainbow Roll….it was those AVOCADO swirls that sold me.
Eh….I think maybe you shouldn’t get super market sushi for Rainbow Rolls. It was just OK….I missed the sunflower seeds and even with tons of both Wasabi and Sriracha something was still missing. I only ate 6 pieces (4 pts) plus my orange (1 pt).
Mid afternoon snackage ~ TJ’s Cashews (2 pts).
I actually have a FANTASTIC menu planned out for this week, but, The Husband wanted me to let you know he “cooked” dinner tonight 😉
He worked hard on our salads…
Then, micro-waved our leftover pizza (8 pts).
He’s such a great Chef :D I think pizza tastes better the next day…then again, doesn’t all Italian food?
After dinner, he informed me that we NEEDED to go shopping to get VACATION STICKERS to decorate our calendar. He wants to put cards for our Lake Tahoe Trip, boats for our Bahamas Cruise and some type of dessert for The Grand Canyon.
His mom even got in on the deal, giving him a Michaels ad ;) We actually didn’t find any stickers he liked, but, he did find a NEW CAT MASK!!!!
Do you all remember when Cat Man made his 1st appearance???
Today….he got an upgrade :D…I think Orange is HIS color 😉
Hissing and growling…..he looks scary, huh?! LOL
Yup, he totally did this inside Michaels….I am pretty sure everyone there thinks we are crazy….but, it was pretty FUNNY!
We ended our sticker quest with a 3 point ice cream cone!!!
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE AFTERNOON SNACK? I participated in Recipe Lion’s Monthly Morsel for April…..Any guesses on what my FAVORITE SNACK IS????
I will catch up on your emails, comments and hopefully post ANOTHER GIVEAWAY for you all tomorrow…..For now, I am off to hopefully catch some zzzzzz’s!
Night all!
Everyone’s jumping on the reusable cup bandwagon! Since my starbucks one broke, I got a new one at Jamba Juice. But not quite the same as drinking out of the cup with the Starbies logo….lol
That rainbow roll looks delicious! I LOVE LOVE LOVE sushi!!
HAHAHA! Your husband sound hilarious with the stickers and the mask!!! And, that he wanted everyone to know he “cooked” dinner! LOL So funny. That pizza looks SOOOOOOOO GOOOD! I have been waiting for your blog post all day LOL! That may be a sign of hunger or just in the mood for yummy looking pictures. Fun post!
in the summer i love to eat fro yo as an afternoon snack – my fave!
Bed Bath and Beyond actually has a reusable coffee cup for hot beverages that looks similar to Starbucks’, too! I think it costs $7.99, too.
That pizza really does look great- even the second day!
And cat man is back- hah! Your husband is so funny.
I love yogurt, fruit or a smoothie for an afternoon snack!!
xo

Jay cracks me up! You guys have such a fun marriage!
Thanks for the heads up about that cup!! I’ve been eyeing the *$ one, but truthfully I’m not a big fan of the ‘Bucks (gassssp! I know.. haha it’s OK – more for you!) so an “unbranded” one from BBB is right up my alley! Plus I have about 101 of those 20% off coupons (two thirds of which are likely expired) so I might as well put it to use!
You and your hubby are so cute! And you can tell you guys have FUN in your relationship. Love it!! 😀
Yay for vacation! Sounds like you had a lot of fun planned!
and that fro yo looks tasty!
Leftover pizza is the BEST. I prefer mine cold tho 😉
My favorite snack would have to be either fruit with yogurt or some popcorn
LOL Oh my goodness the mask caper in Michaels is cracking me up! hahaha
BTW the “cat man” did an excellent job making dinner! 🙂
Booo to the busy work day yesterday…hope today is calmer for ya!! 🙂
I need to get me one of those insulated glasses for smoothies! Thanks for posting about it.
Good eats as always. Cat man did a great job on the salads!
Your vacation plans sounds wonderful!
I have that same placemat! And the pink/orange/yellow one like it too. Gotta love cheaper, but nice things. 🙂
Haha. Catman probably scared a few Michaels customers. My friends and I used to love passing time by going into stores and just entertaining ourselves in random ways.
Hahaha your husband is hilarious. I do think orange is his color
I love a McD cone too! YUM!!! I’ve already had 2 this season!
ahahahahahah thank you for the afternoon laugh, jay!
Thanks so much for your sweet comments on my blog, Danica! I’m SO happy to have found yours, and I love looking at your pictures and reading about your eats already. You look great, and I hope you enjoy your journey! 🙂 Gavi
I wanted to show you my favorite, hot, reusable coffee cup for work. I hope it shows up when I post.
