She Says: Oprah’s Favorite Things 2009

Sunday, July 19th, 2009

I think if Oprah new about Banana Soft Serve it would be on her list of favorite things!

How is everyone eating only one banana at a time? It’s hard to do!

Anyway, back to last night. We had friends over for board games and snacks. We played Cranium and Fluxx.

In this scene Chrissy and Mike are writing three words related to “Will Farrell,” but Mike got confused and wrote words about Will from Will & Grace. They had no matches.

I think board games are so much fun!

This morning I woke up and had a Banana Burrito with Naturally Nutty Chocolate Sunflower Butter.

I also enjoyed more Amazing Grass.

I helped Mark pack for his Mexico work trip and then took him to the airport.  When I got home I went for my first training run (new training schedule!) and came home and stretched before heading out to Whole Foods to pick up a few items. But there was a kink in my plan. Apparently, the lights in Mark’s car were on and I forgot to turn them off when I came home from the airport.  In my car I never turn the lights off, so I don’t think about that. Anyway, the battery died and the car was not budging. We can’t park on the street after 2AM in our town, so I needed some help. First, I called my dad. Even though he is 3.5 hours away I expect him to fix these things. He could not, so I called Mark’s brother. He came over and helped me start the car, so I could move it off the street. I was happy because (1) I didn’t break Mark’s car; and (2) Mark will not get a gigantic ticket for parking on the street.

In the midst of all that I just took my car to Whole Foods and got a salad and Vanilla Oikos.

The guy in front of me at Whole Foods got 12 Kombuchas and got a 10% discount for buying a whole case.

So that was the rest of my weekend. Tons of fun and a little drama. Hope you had a great weekend!

She Says: Tweet Tweet … Tweet, Tweet, Tweet

Friday, July 10th, 2009

Yes, I became a full fledged twitter addict today. (Sorry Erin) I tend to get a little obsessed with things, and right now this is it. It’s dangerous, strange and addicting. I follow Oprah now. It’s weird right? I remember back in the day when Instant Messenger was all the rage. Anyway, follow me: http://twitter.com/hangrypants. It’ll be fun, I swear.

What else did I do today? Went to work, collected samples for the Summit Swag Bags and had some good food. :D No long walk with Marky today though.

Mark and I also broke into the PROBAR Fruition samples bars. I had blueberry and he had strawberry. Like the peach, the blueberry flavor was really fresh tasting and delicious.  Blueberry bars can be completely nasty and fake tasting and these are nothing of the sort. Mark liked the strawberry as well, but did raise a good point – these are messy to eat because they’re so sticky. He also wanted to put hummus on his, but I convinced him not to.

Here are some more facts about the new Fruition bars.

  1. Two servings of fruit in every bar
  2. Snack size portion
  3. Real fruit, oats and chia seeds
  4. Good source of fiber – 4 grams
  5. 170 calories per bar
  6. Low in fat
  7. Superfood chia seeds dense with antioxidants and Omega-3 fatty acids
  8. 70% organic – certified by QAI
  9. 80% raw, 100% vegan
  10. No high fructose corn syrup

I also finished the rest of my personal watermelon and had the last of the Spinach & Oikos Pasta Sauce I made last night.

Mark and I went with our friend Adam to Trader Joe’s tonight. It was really fun actually! Mark was so funny and grabbed so much stuff that he is always begging me to buy. Almost time to pick the winner of his Un-Constipated Gourmet Cookbook Giveaway! You still have almost an hour to enter. What are you waiting for?

I am of to lay in bed, finish a book (Love the One You’re With by Emily Giffin)  and, of course, tweet. :D
