What We’re Eating This Week

Monday I came home from work and began emptying the produce drawer.  I made dinners for LB that would be easy to heat up every night.  Stuffed bell peppers, sautéed chorizo with vegetables and rice, roasted Brussels sprouts and hamburger patties

and

Fajitas

He’ll have something tasty every night for the rest of the week.

 

What I’m Loving

Rory

Her little face is a ray of sunshine.

 

What We’ve Been Up To

Mostly work.

On a positive note, LB and I enjoyed a short trip to the Golden Isles last Saturday/Sunday and then caught up with the family on Sunday night.  That was very nice.

 

What I’m Dreading

Driving to work tomorrow.

I Dread This.

Every.

Day.

What I’m Working On

On August 27th I will be starting the first of six courses that will result in my attainment of a bachelor’s degree.

YAY!

What I began briefly after high school in 1984 and dabbled with for many years, is finally going to come to an exhilarating end.

There will be celebrations and possibly fireworks.

 

What I’m Excited About

Besides that degree?

I’m overwhelmingly excited about being off for four days in a row at the end of August.

What a great way to welcome September!

 

What I’m Watching/Reading

Yesterday I downloaded a sample [to my Kindle app] of Yuri Elkaim’s 5-day diet.  In this book he presents his 5-Day Food-Cycling Formula, “which sets your metabolism to lose up to 5 pounds a week” and he explains intermittent fasting.  I didn’t want to commit to an entire book if it might be boring.  Happily it seems like it will be an interesting read, plus I’ll be able to learn all about intermittent fasting.  And as good luck would have it, this book is a mere $9.99.  Seems like a steal to me, compared to similar online programs that can cost up to $200.

 

What I’m Listening To

I was enjoying listening to Vin Diesel talk trash to Samuel L. Jackson in the movie xXx, but LB changed the channel.

 

What I’m Wearing

I wore this today:

Chambray wrap top from LOFT, white Skinny jeans from Venus, and Circus by Sam Edelman sandals in golden caramel.

 

What I’m Doing This Weekend

I might be going to an AMC Theater to use the gift card my sister gave me.  She has invited me to see Mamma Mia.  I’m not certain that I’ll be able to sit still through an entire movie, but we’ll see.

 

What I’m Looking Forward to Next Month

September marks the start of my favorite season.  Although it won’t feel like fall here in Florida, it will begin to look like fall.  As the days get shorter, the sun’s path across the sky sinks lower to the horizon making the sky appear to be more clear and blue.

Or maybe it is the color of the leaves that sets off the blue sky.  I love it!

 

Thank you for taking time out of your day to stop by my blog.
