Just a friendly reminder: If you haven’t yet checked out the “Bring SnackJoy to Life Personality Contest,” make sure you take a peek! I’ve got my fingers crossed and am really hoping my slogan for The Laughing Cow’s Light Blue Cheese will win the coveted personality. To check out the goods and (hopefully) give me your vote, go ahead and CLICK HERE! Thanks guys! 😀
So today has been a little bit of a whirlwind of a day, and a hate to admit it but…
I’m totally rockin’ the “Debbie Downer” attitude tonight. 😳
To start, the stress of the kitchen remodel is really starting to take a toll on Jay and I. We certainly didn’t expect it to be easy, but after a few unexpected discoveries…which lead to a few unexpected expenses…I guess we’re just plain frustrated. We’re ready for the work to be done, we’re ready to stop eating off plastic plates, and we’re ready to have our kitchen back to one room (rather than being dispersed throughout the entire house).
As if the kitchen woes weren’t already enough, I also found out some discouraging news earlier in the day which put a pretty good damper on my mood. Hmmph. 🙄
But hey, I guess I’m just having “one of those days.” We’re all entitled to ‘em, right? Now that I’ve gotten that off of my chest, I can already feel a little weight lifting…
So let’s not dwell on the negative; let’s focus on some positives – like FOOD. 😉
Today’s breakfast came in the fabulous form of a peanut butter + pumpkin sandwich.
I topped half of an Arnold’s whole wheat sandwich thin with some White Chocolate Wonderful peanut butter, and the other half with a mix of pumpkin + pumpkin butter + cinnamon. It was deeeeLISH. 😛
I also rocked a killer Asian pear with breakfast. These pears are just fantastic. No doubt about it.
And of course some joe-to-go! 😉
Lunch
Ohhhh blueberries, how I’ve missed you so!
A typical Monday Tuesday(?) Usual, plus an unphotographed honey graham Clif Z Bar.
PLUS, a little slice of heaven…aka, sweet potato chocolate chip bread. I’ve really gotta try to get my hands on this recipe!! 😯
Dinner
After getting home from work and errands, my miserable mood left me wanting a dinner with as little fuss as possible. Thank goodness for leftovers!!
Tonight I had 1-1/2 slices of my leftover pizza from last night’s get-together.
I now have a new-found love for fresh spinach + eggplant on my pizza.
And let’s not forget my affinity for goat cheese pizza now too. Can you see where I picked off my olives?? 😉
Thankfully, the combination of pizza + chatting with the hubby + watching the Food Network helped lift my spirits.
This guy did a pretty good job, too. 🙂
I’m thinking some chocolate is going to be needed in my future…time to go hunt some down before One Tree Hill starts!
Thanks again for dealing with my “Debbie” attitude tonight my friends…
it’s nice to know I have you all to “vent” to. 🙂
Question for the Evening:
What do you do when dealing with a “Debbie Downer” attitude?
