Instead of my normal “Confession Thursday” post, I have some “Thank Yous “and “No Thank Yous” to share…
First, I would like to say “Thank you” to this amazing smoothie in a bowl that filled my ice cream craving today.
But, No Thanks to me for being a Cereal Killer and refilling the bowl with various cereals after the smoothie was gone- several times. Boo, Monica. 
I had a lot on my mind this afternoon. It’s not an excuse, but we’re moving on…
Thank You to my dinner mish-mash that ended up delicious! 
I stir-fried a bag of veggie mix, black beans, mushrooms and peanut sauce. Then, added eggs to make it fried rice-like.
Peanuts really made it amazing!
But No Thanks to the fact that brown rice takes 1 hour to cook and I opted out. I guess it’s good I OD-ed on cereal this afternoon 
Thank you to these amazing Adora disks that are Calcium supplements NOT candy, but allow me to get my candy fix in 
But, No Thanks to the Lean Pocket I ate at midnight on Tuesday. It made me have a dream that I was in the hospital and needed a catheter. Then, I got up to pee. No lie.
Thank You to this pimple on my face that convinced the local cashier that I needed to be carded to buy a Lotto ticket…
No Thanks to the 3 other pimples that decided to join the party.
A HUGE Thank You to Meb Keflezighi for following me on Twitter this week!

and Thank You for reading!
Awe, Meb is awesome. 🙂
Love the Cereal Killer lol
I just started reading your blog a bit ago and LOVE it!! The cereal killer picture literally made me laugh out loud! 🙂
Hi Jess,
Welcome and thanks for reading 🙂
I know someone mentioned pre-cooked brown rice but careful if you try it because it’s packed with sodium (although maybe you wouldn’t mind. 🙂 ) I use Minute Rice brown rice and it takes about 10 minutes!! Do it.
You know I totally wouldn’t mind. I would probably ADD more salt…
That is so cool Meb is following you on twitter! When Bart Yasso tweeted me and then followed me I freaked out for pretty much the entire day. Nerd alert.
Very cool about Bart Yasso!!! I think I would freak out if I met him 🙂
Gurl, you crack me up! Hope you’re having a good day. Thank you for your funny & inspiring blog!
Thank you and have a good day too!
Meb is following you on twitter?? The other commenters are not sufficiently impressed!!
I know, right? It totally made my day and none of my friends “get it”.
You always crack me up :). So THANK YOU!
Thanks for reading Pam 🙂 Happy Friday!
I feel your pain with the brown rice. It’s so yummy, so healthy yet it’s never ready when the rest of the meal is. How about cooking up a big batch of brown rice then freezing it into portion sizes?
I did the same thing with steel cut oatmeal, which also takes forever to cook. Added raisins and real maple syrup.
Boil in the bag brown rice…it’s the best. 10 minutes to whole grain happiness.
Uncle Ben’s brown rice has saved me many a time! I have no patience, lol.
Love the cereal killer photo..made me laugh 🙂 aweome that meb follows you, how cool is that?
LOL…love the cereal killer pic! And…THANK YOU for having a hilarious blog 🙂
Thanks Kate 🙂
pre-cooked brown rice is where it’s at! who has the time to cook that from scratch?! And Meb following you on twitter is baller.
Thanks! I was super excited about the Meb thing 🙂
Mmm your green smoothies always makes me hungry!!! 🙂
Random question, are you still wearing/using the body bug? Haven’t read about it recently?
Steph, It’s funny that you ask because I totally forgot to wear it yesterday and I felt weird without it. I have been wearing it consistently, but don’t check the calorie count every night – more like every few.
More than anything I just want to know how many calories I’m burning because I really had no idea (I refuse to wear a HRM).
thank you for writing this fun post 🙂
I am a cereal killer as well, so I completely understand you 🙂
ugh I’ve had weird hospital dreams too. Not a fan. Once I dreamt that I was frozen in a bath tub having my kidney removed. What the heck?
