Wet dog
Hilly dog had a bath before work this morning. It was impossible to snap pics of her whilst getting bathed, so all I have are some after shots of her pretty, puffy, damp self.
Breks today was a repeat bowl of Tuesday’s new cereal. 
In the earthy brown bowl…
- 3/4 cup Nature’s Path Optimum Slim
- 1/4 PB Puffins
- unsweetened blueberries & coconut
- 3 almonds
- skim milk
Very chewy and whole-food tasting. I like it a lot. I don’t think the hubz would though…not sweet enough for him. And it keeps me full. I ate this at 8:30 am and it’s 12:15pm now, and I’m just approaching hunger signals. Pretty impressive, I think.
Last night’s date was fun but the event was total Krap. I won’t go into details here other than to see I heard a lot of the same boring political rhetoric that gets nothing accomplished, and saw a lot of self-promoting. Basically an event for people to donate $$ and pat themselves on their backs for faux good citizen & community stewardship. It was hard not to frown, publicly, at the krap I was hearing. Definitely counter to real change and what it takes to get real action accomplished…stuff I’ve learned thru grassroots organizing.
At least there was a bar…
And a pretty table with pretty flowers and a pretty meal.
- salad with heirloom tomatoes, feta, and walnuts (drizzled with 1 T of garlic basalmic vin
- whole grain bread (good!)
- vegetarian dinner of pastry wrapped lentils in an Italian based flavor (oregano, garlic, pepper, olive oil) with onions and zucchini
- 2 club sodas & vodka
I ate the salad, 1 piece of bread, and ate 1/3 of that pastry before scraping out the lentils and just eating them. It was quite nice and looked far better than the chicken/filet combo that all the meat-eaters were served. Mass-cooked meat is not my idea of fine dining. I did not eat that lovely coconut pastry back there behind my salad plate. I wanted to, but figured it wasn’t worth the cals & fat.
Handsome husband!
A few of you have asked about my camera. Here it is.
Time to eat lunch now and go for a stroll.

Marianne says:Looks like a good meal to me. Do you find it awkward taking a camera like that with you to events and whatnot? I find that I don’t want to lug around my SLR when I’m going out, therefore I never take pictures out.
And your puppy is too cute

Graze With Me says:Very cute dog, I bet she doesn’t stay white for long huh? Your camera is enormous compared to mine, mine’s like the size of a credit card though
Thank you so much for the support on my MIL problem. I’ve been talking to the fiance about it and he told her that I’m done with planning, period. So she’s taking care of it all, thank god! I’m a much happier person than I was this morning!
