You Shouldn’t Have

25 Oct

I had the best intentions today. Really, I did. But, as I looked over the pictures I realize, I Shouldn’t Have…

First off, I shouldn’t have ran because today is a rest day.

Oh wait. I didn’t. Got ya 😉

I take rest days very seriously. I should take church more seriously because I didn’t go today. I should have.

I made pumpkin pancakes this morning for my usual leisurely Sunday breakfast. Topped with almond butter, syrup and a side of grapes.

IMG_2634 But, I got a little excited and put way too much pumpkin in the mix. The pancakes didn’t get firm and most of them just fell apart. They were soft and squishy and I shouldn’t have even ate them.

The top p’cake came out nice, but the rest I shouldn’t have even bothered to plate. IMG_2636

I made Ben chocolate chips pancakes. I really shouldn’t have as this was the last of them.IMG_2631

I shouldn’t have purchased the Egg White salad from TJ’s since I have eggs at home and could have made my own. IMG_2640 But I’m glad I did 🙂

IMG_2639 I packed lunch to go since we were on our way to my mom’s.

IMG_2642 We went to my mom’s to get my cat, Vegas. I have been waiting to take him to my home for so long – it was finally time!

IMG_2646

 

But, maybe I shouldn’t have because he just locked himself in the closet and we couldn’t get him out. We staked out the room waiting for him to come out, but it was a bust.IMG_2655

I planned out dinner for the week and figured I would have pumpkin spice roasted chickpeas (a recipe from MamaPea) tonight and leftovers for tomorrow night too.IMG_2658

 I shouldn’t have (planned for leftovers) because the whole can is basically gone. Does anyone else eat a whole can of chickpeas in one sitting? I did.

But, I shouldn’t have.

Target had a sale on ice cream today. Like a “buy 2 of these frozen dinners you can make for your husband when you don’t feel like cooking and get the ice cream free” deal. It was too good to pass up, so I came home with Pumpkin Ice Cream!

IMG_2668

Maybe I shouldn’t have. I’m still deciding 😉

IMG_2670

 

Ben used his ice cream to coax the cat out of the closet.  I wouldn’t have. I don’t share my ice cream. That cat could stay in there for a week for all I care. IMG_2671

I may have also made a borderline blatantly offensive comment when I saw Ben doing this.

I shouldn’t have…

But I don’t take it back.

THIS IS YOUR YEAR.

      I don’t share ice cream either, least of all with a cat! 😉

      Love Popchips! I’m hosting a little giveaway for some if you want to enter. 😉

      I don’t know if I’d like pumpkin ice cream. Last year I had pumpkin pie cheesecake though and it was absolutely amazing!!!

      I’m glad you finally got to pick up Vegas, even if you had to lure him out of the closet with ice cream. 🙂

      That picture of you and ben is so cute. I can’t say that I would’ve used ice cream as bait for the cat either. I’m stingy with my frozen treats!

      I did the same thing with my pumpkin pancakes the other week. I kept waiting for them to set up, and they were just mush! Vegas is SOOOO cute!

      Vegas is such a cute cat. I’m glad he finally emerged from his hiding spot. I’m easily swayed by ice cream, too.

      I’ve never eaten a whole can of chick peas, but I’ve been tempted on a few occasions.

      I think Ben and my hubby are one in the same. On Pancake Sunday, I always get the Pumpkin (which are actually better with more pumpkin) and he always gets chocolate chip. I swear I’m looking at my life when I read your blog! 😉
      Love ya girl.

      You kind of have a pumpkin theme going on, eh? Me too, though I am reduced to have to cook the damn thing myself because it’s so hard to find here.

      Am really curious about the. Offensive comment ;-). My Frankie loves ice cream too. Actually he would eat anything out of any bowl or plate I’m eating from.

      How was that pumpkin ice cream? I had some (different brand) last week and it was not worth the calories. You know I’m REALLY disappointed when I rate it as ‘not worth the calories’….. I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad ice cream before.

      Cats are always like that when they are in a new environment! Poor little Vegas. I’m sure Vegas will be fine in a day or two!

      Vegas is so cute! My cat is always trying to swipe my treats too. Who wouldn’t want to swipe pumpkin ice cream?
