Still feeling the glow from yesterday’s amazing Easter dinner!
Someone asked recently (and I apologize for not answering in the comments – I forgot!) – I think it was Learn 2 Play – if I was still crazy bag lady (click). Actually, lately I’ve been able to downsize my stuff a bit,
but today…it was the return of the crazy bag lady!!!
Probably because I had ALL THIS in one of the bags!
Seriously, my shoulders were not happy, though.
For Starbucks Monday I got a tall vanilla soy latte. So yum!
The funny thing about all the things I brought to work today is that I didn’t eat much of the food I packed. Having recently suffered from a food-poisoning-like experience…one gets skittish when food is a wee bit old. So, I opted to get some vegan/GF chili out. I also grabbed a gatorade because I’m wondering if my electrolytes are low from last week’s lack of food/drink intake. I was feeling a little dizzy today.
Kashi crackers with a bit of hummus leftover from hubby’s beer-brewing party.
I attempted to microwave-steam some broccoli with a ceramic bowl and a paper towel. It didn’t work. Next time I will use a plate to top my bowl. The broccoli got a little nuked.
I also had a Blueberry Almond bar and some Ginger tea.
Yogi tea quote of the day: “Every heartbeat creates a miracle.”
I tried to eat the biggest orange ever! I couldn’t quite finish the last 2 slices.
Zumba fuel was an Odwalla Superfood bar.
Then, I had about 1 1/2 fabulous hours of ZUMBA!!! I was feeling a bit off but pushed through and had an awesome work out!
Then, we had a birthday dinner for Kat at a local Mexican restaurant, complete with sangrias and margaritas. Kicking myself right now for not getting any PEOPLE photos! Doh!
Table-side-made guac.
Check out Megan’s amazing dinner. I want to get this next time!!!
I split some chicken enchiladas with Alex. Thank goodness, too…this was HALF! I couldn’t even finish half of this!
I did, however, save room for cupcakes. You guys know me!
Megan and I selected similarly decorated cupcakes. She said they were “boy and girl” cupcakes. heehee
Mmmm…cuuuuppppcaaaaakkkeeee.
Happy Birthday Kat!!!!!!!!!!!!
I came home just in time to practice some zumba songs (I know…probably not the best idea after Mexican) and watch the end of the Duke Butler game. While I’m normally a big fan of the “underdog” and I think the Butler team played great, I have to cheer for hubby’s fave team – DUKE!
Congrats to Duke on winning the National Championship tonight!
Who’s your favorite (or your SO’s favorite) basketball team (can be a college/pro/any type)?

Lovely cupcakes! So cute.
Not a basketball fan! But I’m not american so…
Basketball is the one sport we don’t follow.
Now I’m craving guac and sangria, thanks!
Wow those odwalla superfood bars are really green. I haven’t had that kind before. If they are that green they must be super good for you.
i might be really un-American in this, but i don’t really like basketball (GASP!) my dad used to force me to play it and i just never loved it, so now i try to stay away if possible! although i will say i was going for the Nuggets last year during the play-offs
Jeez, Louise!

Amazing eats, girl!
After reading this, I decided I need to try hummus ASAP… Looks so good!
Have a wonderful week!
Brazilian XOXO´s,
Gabriela
i had to do a double take wheni saw your rolling drawers at work… we have the exact same ones! how funny
I love bags!!!
I am also a total bag lady. I’m also a cat lady. It is a very bad combination in a single lady.
And, I grew up a tarheel fan (my mom is an alum)…but went to Duke. So I kinda have to cheer for them now.
Lol. I’m a bag lady too, no worries.
Have you seen epiphanie bags? They’re stylish camera bags (for DSLRS). So you can use it as a camera bag/purse and with the compartments prob fit your lunch in there too, esp if you’re not toting a bunch of lenses
Too funny!
Given how much fresh food you take to work, it’s no surprise you need an extra bag! But the benefits of bringing your own healthy foods (looking/feeling great and saving money) totally makes up for the shoulder strain.
And staring at your cupcake photos at 9:30 at night is very bad for my willpower.
Is that superfood bar any good? it doesn’t LOOK good lol–but then again–I have never thought the green monster drinks LOOK good but I have heard that they taste good
What a great day of eats! I love the look of that blueberry almond bar! YUM!
Looks like a great birthday celebration!
I use another inverted bowl on top of the first bowl when I steam veggies in the microwave – works great.
