I know you won’t believe this, but I did eat a cucumber (half of one) at school after lunch, which leaves me hungry now. My after school snack…







actually, I ate this one first. A fond memory of Christmas as a kid. When Santa actually came into our elementary school with an orange, one of these, a pencil and a candy cane for everyone. Political correctness be screwed, these things are delish.







I make no apologies for this. Had to do a bit of Christmas shopping and found this yummo friend waiting for me. Goodness but the middle raspberry stuff was good.







aside from the fact that my students obviously don’t know how to conjugate verbs, this was a yummy late breakfast snack. I don’t usually eat when I get coffee in the morning, bad habit I know.







I hate bus duty on Tuesday. The only way I can get myself to get to school in time and with the mental mindset to corral 7th graders before dawn is to leave early to stop by Starbucks. It works.

Is it just me or is anyone else noticing the serious lack of veggies here? What’s funny is that I’ve got an entire fridge drawer devoted to them, but I’m not eating any of them. I suppose I should get on that, huh? The weekends always seem to be more junk-food filled than the weekdays, though. I did do a monthlong stint eating raw, which included enough vegetables to nourish a third-world country. I should probably get back to that. Or maybe my spinach smoothie after school. Guess it would help if I had spinach here.

I’m also trying to figure out how to get more activity in my day. Yesterday shoveling snow and putting up the Christmas tree were the extent of my activities. Today I could walk on my lunch period but I’ve got to run to Walgreens and pick up a secret santa gift. I could walk after school, in the school, because the wind chill here is below zero and the streets/sidewalks are still icy. Or I could come home and do the Wii. I vote for Wii because I just realized we have a teacher’s meeting after school and those make me seriously hate being in the building any longer than I need to.

So, more veggies and more exercise. Anything else I need to do better?



browniebatter



the hubby can’t say ‘brownie batter blizzard’ three times fast without getting tongue tied, and it’s a good thing. I wouldn’t have shared this had he asked. New recipe, excellent batter and even better brownies. It’s a keeper. Just to be sure, I ate about this much of the batter before baking. Good stuff. Killed the chocolate craving.



choccy chips



I didn’t eat this exact half-cup of chips. I had two small handfuls while making a pan of brownies with a new recipe, and I figure this is about the amount I shoved in the pie hole. Not that great, really. These were cheap chips. Less wax, more chocolate please.



real dinner



a lean cuisine panini and those mini cokes. The sandwich was mildly disgusting. I hate preformed, slimy chicken, so I picked it out and gave most of it to the dog. I ate the bread, spinach and cheese. Still slightly gross but I did not feel like cooking a single thing. Except cookies.



dinner part 1



Part 1 because I ate two dinosaur chicken nuggets–nastiest things I’ve put in my mouth in a long time–and decided I wouldn’t eat another one. These are things the boy loves. So disgusting. Tater tots are just as nasty, IMHO, but I snacked on them while my real dinner microwaved….
