5 Thoughts Wow this month went fast! I can’t believe this challenge is over. I actually followed through with this 2014 goal. Yay me! I’m going to celebrate in style today and eat really, REALLY well! Bring on the feast! I haven’t over indulged in a meal this whole month…until now. Holy over eating, Batman… Now what am I going to write on my blog? LOL Today’s Photo As I said, best nostalgia for your buck. Breakfast The last of the leftover pork chop and vegetables. Second Breakfast Orange juice. Elevensies Shin Sen Gumi 1/2 bowl ramen with an egg...

Day 30: Today By Numbers

Super-Supper Live Journal - Chayote Hand

5 Thoughts ONE more day at work before the weekend. We can get through this! TWO more days on this challenge. THREE is the speed of which I use to forward through Prisoners. That movie was much too slow even for a “slow burn.” FOUR thirty was my beauty appointment. Not 4:45 I thought it was. Whoops. FIVE forty five is my dinner appointment at Curtis Stone’s Maude next Tuesday. My coworker Alex has been on a waiting list. Once she got them on the phone, we pretty much picked apart the rest of the availability for June. Today’s Photo...

Day 29: Benadryl Haze

OakMonster.com - Pink elephants on parade

5 Thoughts You know today is going badly when you started sneezing right after you used your prescription allergy nose spray AND eye drop. I know that a day of sneezing fit is tiring. I didn’t know how much worse it would be when you add coughing to that too. I love my job and I adore my team. It’s so good to get to have lunch with all of them. Benadryl is a miracle drug. Benadryl usually makes me sleepy but somehow today I was extra drowsy. But then again, I had TWO other allergy meds already in my...

Day 27: Holy Crap Kind of Day

OakMonster.com - Lucky Magazine - Overalls

5 Thoughts Holy crap! My abs look AWESOME. But damn, I’m tired of coughing… Holy crap! I’m hungry right on cue all day today. Back on the horse so fast after 3 days of eating seven times a day willy nilly. Holy crap! I didn’t starve and/or crave junk food on my Meatless Tuesday! Yay for me! Holy crap! Today went by FAST! Holy crap! This experiment is almost over! Today’s Photo While waiting for Brandon to get his hair cut, I browsed some fashion magazines. Not sure how I feel about crop top and overalls making a comeback. Well,...

Day 26: Much Ado About Nothing

OakMonster.com - Much Ado About Nothing cast

5 Thoughts The new mattress is a wee too firm. However, it’s nice to NOT feel Brandon when he tosses and turns. Upon seeing a picture of a pancake on my friend’s Facebook, I decided to make pancakes for breakfast. I dropped an egg, then overheated butter in the microwave so it exploded. While cleaning everything up, the buttery glass tray slipped and shattered, thankfully, into the kitchen sink. Eventually, pancakes were made and eaten and I gave up on today. TV Binge report: Machete Kills (Best. Movie. EVER!). The Normal Heart. (I totally cried, by the way. Matt Bomer...

Day 25: Easy Like Sunday Morning

OakMonster.com - Reach for the sky

5 Thoughts It’s Sunday. Why am I up at 7 a.m. without the alarm for no reason at all? Oh right. I started coughing. So much for going to bed without Nyquil for the first time in a week. What a beautiful day outside and pleasant inside. It’s a great day to do whatever! And so we went mattress shopping. And it was virtually painless (except for when I cut my thumb on the laminated price sheet). We were in and out of the store in less than 30 minutes. Our new mattress arrived within a few hours. TV Binge...
