Happy Friday all! I am not sure I’ve ever been so glad it’s Friday ~ this week was SOOO long recovering from the Foodbuzz Festival and busy super busy at work. This morning I decided to celebrate it was Friday by stopping at Peet’s.
I ordered a reduced fat Berry Peach Scone ~ MMMMM – soooo good, but, I am not sure it’s worth 330 cal, 7 g fat, 2 g fiber (7 pts) good. I tried eating 1/2 but seriously, who eats just 1/2 a scone…..
I paired it with a small (not tall!) Fat Free Chai Tea Latte that honestly sucked. Starbuck’s chai’s are SOOOO MUCH better. This was like watered down tea with milk added :( I still drank it though……
I had to have lunch early because I had training all afternoon. I whipped up my latest FAVORITE sandwich that I cannot get enough of.
Two slices of Mulit-Grain Bread ~ 1 topped with Trader Joe’s Spicy Hummus and the other topped with Trader Joe’s Cranberry Orange Relish.
Add 99% FF Maple Turkey & LF Jarlsburg Swiss Cheese….
Slice in half and dig into that creamy, sweet, spicy amazingness!
I made up a side organic broccoli slaw salad with spicy peanuts and TJ’s Low-Fat Spicy Peanut Dressing.
Plus crunch ~ Stacey’s Parmesan Garlic Pita Chips – I LOVE these!!!!
The training I went to was for Microsoft Office 2007 and I have to say it was AWESOME. I LOVED learning about all the super cool new things and that they actually have an online interactive guide that you can use to look up how thing appeared in the old version and how they appear in the new version. The highlight of the training was my computer’s name Daisy Duck (donald’s girlfriend) and I got to be called Daisy all day 😀
I was STARVING on the way home so I whipped out the rest of my pita chips with a cheesestick. See why I can’t be around these things….I think I’d eat them at every meal (ooohhh and add spicy hummus) and I may never eat anything else.
Dinner was super easy tonight ~ Leftover Chilaquiles Casserole. I LOVE this casserole. I was actually sad that there isn’t any left. I NEED to make this again!
Plus 1/2 an orange.
All together with homemade FIZZY WATER!!!
After dinner we opened the FUN MAIL we got from my Momma! She sent us the CUTEST anniversary card……
That blows a ships horn and birds chirp when you open it….So funny! I can’t believe we leave in 6 days – WOOOOHOOOO!!!
My Mom is super crafty and her latest creation is a Pocket Scarf! She makes them and sells them ~ so fun!!! Have you all ever seen or heard of these? I never have but I LOVE the idea.
It’s a scarf with pockets! The pockets are big enough to fit your pumpkins in 😀
The Husband had me model it. So, I didn’t expect him to actually take pictures of me clowning around, but, ummm….ya, he did!!
She makes them in all colors, themes and sizes from little kiddos to tall adults. If anyone wants one, feel free to email me and I’d be glad to have her make you one 🙂
After my brief debute as a model, I grabbed some dessert. These Christmas Taffies are my absolute FAVORITE candies ever. I wait all year for them to come out and then buy them until I can’t anymore.
One last fun thing for Friday in case you all didn’t catch my tweet earlier……Here is a link to a coupon for Buy 1 get 1 free Peet’s Coffee Beverages. The coupon is good through 11/22/09 – so feel free to print share, make copies and get your coffee fix on as much as you can.
I am off to take my corny self to the couch and possibly watch a movie with The Husband….Yeah for the weekend!!
Catch you all tomorrow ~ Nite!

Danica! (first of all, how lame am I? Posting a comment on a Saturday night? Haha).
Your turkey sandwiches with hummus and cranberry relish look SO good. I may have to imitate them!
I’ve seen something similar to your mom’s pocket scarves!! They look AMAZING. Can you pop these in the microwave to make them warm??
Also, where do you get that xmas taffy? I ADORE taffy!!!! I would love to get my hands on these!!
Hope you are having a good weekend!
Kristin ~ Yes, she can do them in any color or pattern you like. The material is soft fleece. I am having her make The Husband one with Cal Bears (his favorite football team).
Sarah ~ That is a great idea – I need to try “heating it up” – LOVE it! I bought them at Target, but, I know Walmart carries them too. It’s like $2-$2.50 a bag. They are awesome and the perfect ending to any meal 😀
Yay broccoli slaw! One of my all time favorite foods!
I love the pocket scarfs. I seen them on the Today show a couple of days ago, and thought they were a great idea. Your mom is a smart lady making and selling them.
