I’ve gotta say, I really liked reading all of the words and phrases from this morning that drive you guys nuts. I’m in agreement with quite a few of you on some of ‘em, including (and also adding):
- “om nom nom”
- “cray cray”
- moist (yup, sorry Jordan, I’m one of them!)
- “sorry I’m not sorry” (Alyssa, I feel ya on this one – I loved the phrase, but it just got wayyyy overused)
Too funny!
Lunch
Thankfully, I got my act together this morning and found some time to add veggies back into my life. After yesterday’s carb-tastic lunch and dinner, followed by this morning’s breakfast, some veggies were definitely necessary…and boy were they yummy today!
Remember when I was on a bit of a crabmeat kick a couple months ago? Well my friends, it’s back, and it’s just as delicious as I remembered. This salad may have been a bit random on the combos, but I loved every bite of it.
- romaine
- cukes
- grape tomatoes
- baby carrots
- roasted broccoli and cauliflower
- sweet pickle relish
- The Laughing Cow Light Swiss Cheese wedge
- ~1 serving (1/2 cup) crabmeat
I warned you it was random, but it was super tasty!
On the side, I also packed up another golden delicious apple and a chocolate chip brownie Larabar.
In addition to that, guess what else I’ll be sipping on this afternoon?
Oh yes, that would be a Starbucks Caramel Brulée Latte, but I will be attempting to make mine a teensy-weensy bit healthier by going with non-fat milk and no whip (which saves 150 calories and 15g of fat)
**FYI: From now until November 20th, from 2-5pm, Starbucks is offering BOGO holiday drinks, so take advantage if you can!
I’ll tell ya…it definitely helps to have thirsty friends around! 
Questions for the Afternoon:
What’s the most random salad combination you’ve ever tried?
Do you find you’re more tempted to buy something (such as a Starbucks beverage) when there’s a deal involved?

Oh I will be hitting up a Starbucks for that deal for sure! And yes, I love deals

Heck yes, I’m a sucker for a good deal. Especially if it involves something like coffee or froyo. Sign me up! I always make random salad combos. I usually just throw everything into a huge bowl, mix it together, and call it a day. I always add fruit!
i am so over “sorry i’m not sorry” too! drives me nuts!
i LOVE caramel brulee frapps! soooo good. that’s my fav flavor!

Deals always tempt me! If I can get anything for “free” or severly discounted, I’ll go for it if the original thing I’m buying is something I actually use or want.

I am not a fan when bloggers write out “m, kay?”

I HATE when others use the phrase ‘cray cray’. I wonder who came up with that.
I can’t answer your first question because I’m not a big salad eater. For your second question, I think I’m more tempted to get something that I like when it’s on sale- for instance, a pack of double dutch muffins at PC are 2 for $3, I’m so there!

i am a HUGE SUCKER for deals like that! (or deals in general for that matter!)

I am definitely more tempted to buy something when there is a deal like that! I’m really wanting to try the Skinny Peppermint Mocha although I might make mine have soy milk because I’m lactose intolerant. It sounds delicious

The words epic and legit drive me mental. In almost every tweet I see, people improperly use the word legit. It angers me lol

OHh how could i forget- bloobs…that word cringes me out!! Love your salad- the more random the better!
Khushboo recently posted..Would you like some cheese with that wHine?
Yesterday i went to Starbucks to take advantage of the buy one get one free deal and I tried the caramel brulee latte for the first time and it was awesome!!! I’m in love with it now! I got soy milk in mine (i always get soy in my drinks) and no whip also. I can’t wait to get anothe one tonight!
it’s so sad. I’m still mourning the loss of “sorry I’m not sorry”‘s dignity.
and let me add a “haaayyyuul yeeeah!” to the laughing cow light + starbies love.

Hi, I am one of Julie’s friends from college, I stumbled onto your blog via PBF. You and your hubby are adorbs! If you like the crab you should try “lobster chunks” they are even yummier
They are made by the same company I believe.
Hi Minda!
Thanks so much for stopping by and for the sweet compliments
I will definitely keep the lobster chunks in mind for next time!
HIIIII MINDA! I feel so creepy for seeing your comment on this post but it made me smile.
I MISS YOU!
Haha, I love seeing you guys chat on here! That’s too funny
Hiiii JUL!!! I miss you too! Hope you and Ryan are doing well…I need to make a little roadtrip to Ocala to visit
