backed up plumbing

You almost didn't start reading this post based on the title, didn't you? Don't worry - this is not going to be a tell all post, you'll see where it comes from in a bit.

The last time we chatted, I was feeling spunky. Now, I am feeling exhausted! I had a great strength traning session this morning, and it was followed by me almost burning down my parents' house.

pre burning the candles so they're easier to light on the wedding!

I had a post workout snack: a raw chocolate zucchini muffin from yesterday! I popped all of these bad boys in individually wrapped plastic, and then tossed them into the freezer until I am ready to devour them.

i am going to eat all of your friends

Lunch was something that was thrown together on a whim - I had leftover pasta from a couple of days ago and wanted to use it so it wouldn't go to waste. I mixed it with a bunch of veggies and chickpeas, and then popped in the microwaved. I topped it with EVOO, balsamic, garlic, and pepper.

love those summer veggies

There was much snackage this afternoon! It started off with this:

cashews, raisins, figs

It was followed by unpictured crackers and hummus, sunbutter (on a spoon - the best way to eat nut butter), almonds, more raisins, and an apple.

I ran around this afternoon after I was freed of the kiddos. I went to the mall, which is something I rarely do anymore. I find that Target usually is able to meet all of my needs and the mall is just a theory in my mind. I did have fun though - I got some gifts for our wedding party and did a little honeymoon shopping!

When I got home, I had one thing on my mind: tofu and sweet potatoes!!

Unfortunately, FH needed me at the house at 6:30 and it was already almost 6:00. He also wanted me to bring him dinner.

See you tomorrow tofu and sweet potatoes.

I instead whipped up something really quick and simple so I could make FH something to eat.

with some rice and beans (yes they're under there!) on the side

I spent my evening over at my future home with FH doing fun things like mounting our new TV on the wall (yay!), putting covers on the outlets, and clogging up our plumbing... bad.

No, no one did anything nasty in the toilet. There is no reason why our plumbing should be backed up right now! But... it is. Our toilet actually pushed the water from in the toilet up through the shower drain. Ugggghhh sounds like a sewage problem. Of course, right when you think everything is in order, something happens. Ah, the joys of being a homeowner. :) I left the house with FH a little cranky and wanting to go home.

I got home and needed a snack! I had a repeat of last night, but kind of tweaked it! Instead of almonds, I put in walnuts. I added some chopped banana as well.

What a great way to end my eating for the daystart my snacking for the night.

Question: What kind of shopper are you? Do you like to do your shopping online, browse through all the stores, or go to one store and get OUT?
