Ninja Turtle Slime?

Breakfast

I made my Green Monster this morning and had it all in my travel mug and then hubby looks at me all suspiciously-like and asks to “see it.”  He’s seen them all week long.  This time I offered him 100 bucks to taste it and his stubborn self wouldn’t (of course).  What a wuss!  He said it looked like “Ninja turtle slime” and swears I’m going to turn into a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle :-D

So I get in the car with my gear for the day (lunch bag, purse (with netbook), travel mug – I swear I lug around waaaay too much with me every day) and as soon as I start to pull out of the driveway I see Mr. Bunny munching on some leaves:

I love spotting wild animals and so far this year in my yard there has been: a bunny, fox, a porcupine, and a groundhog:

and sometime throughout the year there’s always a deer or a family of deer there too!

So this morning was a “stop and smell the roses” kind of day and I was feeling to energized and happy on my way to work.  Could it be the affects of the GM?  Hmmmm??? So I stopped and snapped a pic of some pretty pansies outside of the office before I went in:

The GM held me over longer this morning than ever.  I went straight through to lunch time without a snack!  Yay!

Lunch

  • Ezekiel tortilla
  • chicken breast
  • red, green, orange pepper
  • mixed mesclin greens
  • homemade lemon cannellini bean purée

and it was great!  The bean puree was just beans, lots of lemon juice, zest, S&P and the lemon really was excellent! (post to come on my little gadget that every person should have and it doesn’t take up room in your kitchen!)

Then came a treat:

a chocolate espresso bomb from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory.  YUM!!

IMG_2692Then I walked by this god awful machine outside of GNC that yells at you, “Have you checked your weight today?”

Am I the only one that wants to smash this thing at the mall??? I doubt it!  Didn’t make me feel so great about my espresso bomb! Bah well!

 

Snack

After work I had to make a quick Snack because I had to run to the hairdresser, so I grabbed a Larabar Jocalat bar to-go and took Lucy outside to do her “business” before I ran to the hairdresser for some foils and a trim.  Isn’t she friggin CUTE:

Supper

And when I got back from the hairdresser I decided to grab a quick supper and since my breakfasts have been taken over by GM’s lately, I was kind of missing my “breakfast foods” so I poured myself a bowl of Kashi Honey Almond Crunch cereal, topped with a banana and some unsweetened vanilla almond breeze and I was good to go:

LOL @ Ninja Turtle Slime! That would have been the easiest $100 hubby had ever made :P

Geeze for a hundred bucks even my picky man would have tried it. I'd have made him drink the whole thing though. Then he could go around all day acting like a TMNT and have an excuse for it!!

I took an almost identical shot of the same Jocolat bar today...minus the cute Lucy of course.

I was thinking about trying to make a Green Monster tomorrow morning, and now after the Ninja Turtle Slime moniker I just don't know if I can.

Julie: still try it, it actually TASTES really really good and every single morning I've felt FANTASTIC! I still seem to have an aversion to the colour, so it's travel mugs and straws pour moi!
