i'd say "wow i'm glad it's friday" but i think i begin every single friday post like that and it's getting a little tired. so instead, let's just launch right into some of the randomness in my brain this fine friday morning...
whoever invented string cheese is my favorite person on earth. whoever decided to slap jalapeno in it is my second favorite person. cheese and apples has long been one of my favorite combinations and having this for a snack in the morning has been rocking my universe. also i've realized that i don't enjoy the string-pulling part of string cheese. i love it for its convenience but i just eat it like one would any other stick shaped snack, i don't pull it apart. does that make me weird?
anyone want to come over and have tea and cookies with me? i've taken to freezing my cookies because i bake so damn often that i always have about two dozen cookies on hand and if i leave them out in a jar i am way too likely to eat all of them in one sitting. this way i just grab a few at night and toss them in the microwave for my dessert. i have been loving eating these banana oatmeal gems with my sugar cookie sleigh ride tea at night. i'm going to be bummed when i run out of that tea because i don't really like a lot of tea and this seasonal one has been hitting the spot lately.
caitlin suggested (since i said i hated taking my vitamins) that i procure myself some gummy vitamins because then i can pretend they're candy. i immediately did and guess what? i haven't missed a dose. i have been a champ taking my vitamins and supplements this week - i think the gummies and the day of the week pill pack are my saving grace.
i have had the same damn push notification alert on my phone since the new operating system was released for the iphone. i don't have enough storage space to download the operating system so i am stuck with the stupid red alert but no capability to download it. this drives me absolutely up a wall because i hate having notifications (i immediately update apps as soon as the red number pops up). have you ever heard a higher class problem? no? i know, i feel obnoxious for even complaining about it.
this seltzer tastes vaguely like a creamsicle. take this with a grain of salt - no, drinking this water is not as heavenly as eating a creamsicle. i HATE when people try to be all "oh this zucchini cut in the shape of a fry and baked tastes JUST LIKE FRENCH FRIES" because that shit is a lie. it tastes like zucchini and sadness. however, this water does smack of creamsicles and it makes me happy every day at lunch.
i had one of those moments when i was eating my dinner last night where my plate reminded me of those magazine articles that compare healthy swaps and say, "you can eat this (insert pic of tiny cheeseburger) or you can eat ALL THIS! (insert pic of massive healthy swap for a burger here)". i had a giant plate of spaghetti squash with marinara and chicken sausage mixed in and then topped it with mozz and had a roll on the side. it was so good and so much food. love me some spaghetti squash. i'm sad i used up all of my leftovers on last night's dinner because i know the end of spaghetti squash season is close and i feel like i'm just getting into my groove with the gourd.
what randomness is floating around your brain this morning? do tell.

all looks great!
ReplyDeleteomg I have the SAME notification on my phone!
ReplyDeleteMmk so bring those cookies to Pittsburgh and we'll have a girls weekend, I am the exact same way about notifications, and I want spaghetti squash real bad thanks to you and am incredibly frustrated that I can't find it anywhere!
ReplyDeleteI'm on my way to join in ladies on this girl weekend. i want some of your yummy cookies molly! && then we can all eat ridiculous amounts of homemade pizza & maybe a drink or two??!! :)
Deletep.s. your dinner looks freaking awesome & If I could jump through the computer screen and devour it, I totally would.
i still have those old notifications too. oh to be rich and get an update.nahhhhhhhhhhh i think the genius who created the jalapeno cheesestick must have also invented the shaped sprinkles because that shit is bomb.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I will never get tired of a "yay, it's Friday!" post ;).
ReplyDeleteThat jalapeno string cheese looks yummy. Have you ever tried the jalapeno spreadable cheese wedges? I am not sure if Laughing Cow has that flavor, but I know that Weight Watchers makes them and they are delicious!
Yay for spaghetti squash "pasta!" You get so much bang for your buck and you don't even have to feel guilty about it! Double yay.
I HATE notifications on facebook, iphone, whatever. It drives me up the wall to see the little red number and I get anxious when I see them. Wow I have an issue... that cookie idea is brilliant. That way I can't eat a thousand of them at once... but I can still enjoy the cookie! You are one smart cookie (because I didn't just say the word) ;)
ReplyDelete"its tastes like zucchini and sadness" <-- :-D Truth.
ReplyDeleteI still haven't updated my operating system because I don't want to lose the map feature! It's been driving me crazy...
ReplyDeleteI very much want to come over and have tea and cookies. You provide the cookies, I'll bring the tea. I somehow ended up with 5 boxes of Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride, so I don't mind sharing the wealth with good blends :D I do hate those red notifications though... I have one on my phone as well and it's been driving me a little batty. Speaking of which, apparently I have to update my Twitter too, so I'm going to do that... now.
ReplyDeletePS - I don't pull apart my cheese strings either.
Is it weird that you don't pull apart your string cheese? Girl, that's downright SINFUL. Blasphemous. Heresy. I love the stringy goodness of string cheese. You're missing out on all of the fun by not pulling it into pieces!
ReplyDeleteFeel ya on the iPhone notifications. Well, kind of. I upgraded from Tracfone to the iPhone 5 in September (which is kind of like upgrading from a 1985 Chevy to a 2012 Mercedes...haha), so the new OS came built in for me. But yeah, app store updates happen instantly. The little red reminder drives me bonkers!
i like string cheese but don't eat it often. whenever i do i always pull it apart, i like that because it makes it last longer!
ReplyDeletemmm those cookies look delightful. so does your big old plate of spaghetti squash! i'm all about volume hence my daily salad beast lunches! why would i rather eat something so much smaller that will make me feel sleepy and sluggish?
umm that red icon on the phone would bother the hell out of me. i completely understand!
Haha too funny :P I am a string cheese fanatic too but I have yet to try the jalapeno kind... Guess it's time to spice things up a bit, eh? And I love frozen cookies! My uncle used to send us oodles of his secret recipe chocolate chip cookies and we'd freeze them- I loved sneaking them [because we were limited to 1 a day, had to make them stretch] and eating them frozen... Crazy but crazy good! Although, I do much prefer a freshly baked, warm and chewy cookie ;)
