On my run this morning I was planning what to pack for lunch today and all I wanted was a AB&J sandwich. That is no biggie, except what I planned on having for breakfast was Almond Butter toast (with a Green Monster). I kept trying to think up alternative lunches…big salad, cheese and hummus sammie, leftovers…nope. I wanted AB&J so…

Ann’s House of Nuts
As promised, I went to Ann’s House of Nuts today! This place sells nuts wholesale to the public. It is in Jessup, MD. Their prices are great and often when they are overstocked with something you can get it for super cheap! They don’t have a real website, but here is a link to their location info. This place is…

Spider Catcher
One time Ben wanted to give me some advice about running. He is not a runner, but I thought whatever he had to say might be helpful since he’s super smart:) Ben’s advice: “You never want to be the first runner of the day.” Me: “Why?” Ben: “Because then you’re the spider catcher.” Well, I was the spider catcher today…

Finally Food Inc.
After the longest wait (I wanted to see it before I left California!) I saw Food Inc. tonight! I am not going to review it since 1. it’s already been reviewed so many times and 2. I figured I’d just be preaching to the converted. But one extra insight I had that I think may be different from some others…

My own pizza
Normally at restaurants Ben and I order our own thing (obviously). But, with pizza you kinda have to come to some agreement. This is super hard when you don’t eat meat and your pizza-mate loves things like pepperoni, sausage, extra cheese, and more pepperoni. Sometimes we do half and half, but since he wanted a sub I got my own…

Pee Pants
So I peed my pants today and thought of Billy Maddison & the Pee pants scene… [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoD9LCGsjas] Okay, I didn’t really pee my pants (even though it’s super cool). But I did get disgustingly sweaty on my ran today and looked like I peed my pants. I was super embarrassed, but when you’re running 13 miles in August it’s just…

I'm a "G"… and I'm not Fat.
So it’s official, I’m a “G” with my new 3G-phone from T-mobile. I think it’s officially called the My Touch, but whatev. I am normally not a fancy phone girl, but the blog has been blowing up and I’m so far from the fam so I thought it’d get one. I am excited:) Now I can email, blog and tweet…

Pick Your Poison
I’ve decided that if my worst vices are diet soda and frozen yogurt I shouldn’t be so hard on myself. I always feel this extreme guilt while drinking Diet Coke (maybe Catholic guilt?). Boo to guilt. *Let’s note that I do eat frozen yogurt guilt free 🙂 Ha. Anyways, one soda a day isn’t going to kill me and even…
