Three Things I’m Eating This Week:

1. Sunflower Seed Butter! Of Course. On the way home from the gym this morning I busted a bitch made a completely legal U turn so I could hit up the store for my latest obsession.image

2. Tilapia! I’ve been craving fish after getting overloaded with turkey the last few weeks.image

3. PEARS!!! Harry and David sent me TWO boxes of their magical pears. This would be too much fruit for a normal person, but you guys know I eat fruit like it’s my job.20121203_153310 (800x600)

Well, it is kinda my job – you know, to eat watermelon and blog about it?national watermelon day

Three Things You Don’t Know About Me:

1. I don’t own a belt. Isn’t that weird?! I just realized it last week too.

2. I was kidnapped as a child and raised by a Mexican family in California. Ha! Not really, but that’s a little inside joke my fam has.IMG_9593 (800x533)

3. My high school prom date is now a body builder. But like, for real.

He is in a contest on Facebook for Muscle & Body’s best body. If you feel so inclined, please vote for Abe at this link: https://www.facebook.com/MuscleandBody/app_464387280266449

(I’m on the hunt for a prom pic of us, but it was an awkward, chubby time for me. We’ll see if I can dig one up.)

    1) Way too much sugar.
    2) And cheese
    3) And red cabbage sautéed in toasted sesame oil

    3.) I’m allergic to white fish

    1. Nothing makes my mind blank more than “Tell me something about you!”

    2. I wish I could have a dinner with all of the people that inspire me.

    3. I’m seeing a naturopath on Saturday because I’m sick and tired of my various doctors having “I don’t know what’s wrong you” answers.

        Nice!! I finished it in two weeks. I thought about buying bulk and their website has it at $11.89 a 13oz jar. I am shocked. I bought it for half that. Really sad!!

    Wow, couldn’t be more jealous that you have two boxes of Harry and David pears-they’re SO good. Three things I’m eating this week include 1) Honey-crisp apples (usually with cinnamon and almonds) because they’re the best kind of apple and won’t be around much longer 2) Sautéed spinach- I just recently realized how delicious it tastes cooked with a fair amount of garlic powder (always just ate it in salads) and 3) Pumpkin coffee- I’m a money-strapped post grad so I buy generic coffee brands and mix the grounds with pumpkin pie spice, works like a charm!

    I just bought some MaraNatha almond butter. Wow. I like it almost as much as I like icecream. I’m eating a lot of Honeycrisp apples. My fave. And I’m trying to curb my icecream addicting by eating froyo instead.
    Wow, was Abe such a cutie at Prom?

    1.) I have an unhealthy obsession with pickles and cheese, together.
    2.) I get scared washing my face in the shower. Who knows what could happen while you so happily wash off the face wash with your eyes closed! I do it as fast as possible.
    3.) I was in speech therapy for 6 years as a child for not being able to say my “r”s. If I am super sleepy, or erm…inebriated, I digress to those days. It’s really funny for everyone around me. Lol

      Pickles and cheese? I’m oddly intrigued…

      I think my brother had the same speech thing, all remembers is being forced to say “cop car” over and over or “cop cah” as he said.

    Three things you don’t know about me:
    1) I was the “bubble gum blowing” champ in the 8th grade..and I still have mad skills!
    2) I HATE SNAKES!!!
    3) I used to work for an NBA team. I was a great job but so many nights & weekends and 18 hours days that after 11 years, it was time to move on.

    Three things I’m eating this week:
    1) Pears – me too – just bought some on Monday
    2) Smartfood Selects Garlic Tomato Basil Hummus Popped Chips – so good!

    I’m participating because I *love* lists. (Actually, as I was reading this post, I thought I should start a blog where all posts are lists. I know, right?! AWESOME! Don’t steal my idea.)

    OK… onto the listing! I chose the topic “3 Things You Don’t Know About Me.”

    *AHEM*

    1. I am terrified of big bugs that fly or jump – especially grasshoppers and those big green flying beetles. I scream and run…and may or may not have abandoned my children in my terror.

    2. I’m half black and half white. I appreciate the mixture of my cultural background, but was not always treated nicely by non-mixed girls when I was in high school. Rough times.

    3. On to happier thoughts… I changed my phone case last night. The new one is hot pink and black and it makes me happy.

    Adios, muchacha!

      LOL, Grasshoppers are the WORST!!! But I am terrified of those black bugs. Here in California they call them water bugs, but they are cockroaches. They move so fast and I never know which direction they are going. Thank goodness this house only has grasshoppers and crickets….and they all remain outside!!!!

    1. I’m allergic to sunflower seeds/butter so anytime a blogger talks about it (which is often) it makes my throat itch a little 🙂
    2. I’m pregnant and due in april, but right now, I’m at that stage where I just look like eat too much and have a gut.
    3. I’m already planning a half-marathon and/or triathlon for september/october 2013 to get me back in shape and motivated after sweet baby is born.
