We Earned It

By Courtney 57 Comments

I guess you could say that the extra $47.00 I earned yesterday afternoon was burning a serious hole in my pocket. Unexpected cash? I mean, sure, we could have put it towards the grocery shopping I still have yet to do this week, OR…

We could make it a low-key dinner + movie date night. Hey, we earned it!

“Welcome to Moooooooe’s!”

IMG_6268

I was really craving some sort of burrito bowl but couldn’t figure out what would be an equivalent on their menu, so I ordered a Joey Jr. with chicken, black beans, rice, grilled peppers and onions, lettuce, pico, roasted corn salsa, and a sprinkle of cheese.

The mini burrito was amazing, and so were the chips, but I only ate about half of them (the chips) because I had some movie snacks to enjoy. Winking smile

IMG_6269

So which movie did we see?

source

Friends with Benefits!

We both agreed that although it was predictable, just as many romantic comedies are, we both totally loved the movie! I laughed out loud at least a dozen times (which I don’t do much with movies) and the two of them appeared to have really good chemistry on screen. I’d totally recommend it…five stars! Smile

Of course, with the movies comes movie snacks. Before leaving the house, I popped up a bag of 100-Calorie kettle corn and sprinkled it with some cinnamon, semi-sweet and butterscotch chips. So, SO good. I ate about half of the bag because I had to save room for my movie dessert.

IMG_6271

FYI: Peanut butter m&m’s are amazing.

IMG_6273

The theater was actually sold out, which I was shocked about, it being a Tuesday evening and all. Definitely a little different from the last time I went to the movies.

*****

This morning, I woke up hungry so I decided to hold off on the workout in favor of some breakfast.

IMG_6275

My glass of iced coffee was poured immediately.

IMG_6276

And then I put together today’s cereal combo: Kashi Honey Sunshine + Fiber One 80 Calorie Honey Squares + (more!) blueberries + almond milk.

IMG_6278

This bowl had some serious volume, but since both of these cereals are a little lower in calories, I tend to be a little generous with my portions. Winking smile

IMG_6279

Okay, one last thing!…

    Thinking of eating a bucket of PB makes me want to gag a little bit. If it's one huge 30 pound babybel cheese round, I'd be on that like white on rice. Oh my God, if I had to say everything on my mind, I'd probably offend 94.5% of the people I come in contact with - but it'd be better than never speaking again! I'd be okay with never using email again. I can't give up human interaction!

    So glad friends with benefits was good! I'm always excited to hear when a chick flick is quality, because these days, there aren't too many. Maybe I'll go see it with my mother while I'm home :-) I'd rather eat a bucket of PB with no water than a bunch of cheese. I think cheese might make me sick first. I'd rather always have to say everything on my mind...I kinda already do anyway ;-) I'd rather not be able to use my PHONE. It would free me from waiting for calls and texts from boys!

    Honestly, the thought of eating 30 pounds of cheese in one sitting terrifies and delights me all at the same time. Can you tell that I'm a cheese freak? I already say everything that's on my mind (my mom claims that I was born without a think before you speak filter) so that's an easy choice. My phone is basically another limb so I'd much rather live without email.

    Friends with Benefits was hysterical! I loved, but of course it reminded me a lot of No Strings Attached. There were better one liners in this one though. As for the would you rather.... 1) peanut butter definitely... that much cheese just sounds horrific! 2) Everything on my mind... not being able to voice an opinion is just a no! 3) good-bye e-mail! I would actually really welcome that sometimes!

    Mmmm I love a good Mexican dinner treat! "Found" money always burns a hole in my pocket too! 1. Definitely the cheese - can I at least mix up the flavors? Like a 30 pound cheese sampler? And it best come with wine. 2. Giving up speaking would be like giving up eating. It'll never happen. Always saying what's on my mind is sure to offend, I'm very good at censoring myself. But it's still better than never speaking! 3. I guess I'd give up email. Im attached to my phone like a baby to a binky!
