Good morning!
Poor Mister Bailey looks so bored today. I think he needs another play date!
As for moi, I’m soo tired from trying to stay up as late as hubby who went out with the boys last night. Not to mention we lost an hour of sleep…gah!
I decided to do things right today with Project Hydrate with a little visual and taste stimulation, since, as I mentioned yesterday, I do a bad job of hydrating myself on the weekends.
To help with my cause, I broke into one of my fave wedding presents…
You know what turquoise boxes mean, right?
Booyah! That’s right! Tiffany & Co.!!!
Inside, a beautiful pitcher! So gorge!
I know some people save special items for special occasions, but I’m more of a use-the-special-stuff-everyday kinda gal.
So, today, I used our pitcher for the first time (we’ve been waiting to have our kitchen in place to start unpacking stuff). I filled the pitcher with filtered water and slices of lemon, lime, and cucumber.
I’m totally inspired to drink more water now.
The pitcher totally reminded me of the fabulous dinner I had in California Wine Country at Ravenous in Healdsburg, CA. Click to view the food fun.
On to the food!
I whipped up a delicious brunch for us this AM.
I have to say it was nearly the perfect combination of foods…
Protein – sloppy scrambled eggs (sloppy because I mixed the eggs together in the pan instead of in a bowl before pouring the mixture into the pan)
Carbs – whole grains, too, I think! This is a Berry Oat Bran muffin from Great Harvest Bread company. I got one yesterday to share with hubby. Next time I will eat my own. They are so good! 😀
Fruit – half an organic orange. So juicy, so tasty!
Plus some yummy Fresh Market Spring Blend coffee.
I have so many to-do’s to do today! Gah! Brewing some tea for some bloggie renovation work. Here we go!
What are you doing to make sure you are hydrated today?
Poor Bailey! My dog would LOVE to play with him. Too bad we are in wisconsin!
I LOVE your pitcher idea. I will have to steal it. Hmmm my grandma gave me a martini set I could use 😀 The pitcher is smaller but would work. Thanks for the great idea.
I’ve been drinking LOTS of tea. You inspired me to order from Amanzi for my birthday. I have quite a collection of tea (Harney & Sons, Amanzi, various grocery store brands, and my favorite – Tease from The Tea Guys- FYI Green walnut rocks my socks!).
So lots of tea and also teeccino (coffee alternative which I’m enjoying).
I’ve always been a water drinker but in the winter and cold months I am really enjoying hot drinks.
I think your inspiration is helping. But there is one side effect. I got up about 5 times to pee last night! LOL
The pitcher is so pretty!
This morning when we went out to Whole Foods, I took my aluminum bottle with me to refil my plastic cup. I am still a little behind for the day but I am doing better than yesterday!
That pitcher is so pretty! I love pictures with the fruit in it! Lovely! I’m battling the flu or maybe something I ate, so it’s major project hydration in my apartment today!!!!
ooooh that water jug is so GORGEOUS!!!!!!! I have been carrying a water bottle with me everywhere today !!
Yummy, brunch.
I love love love that pitcher – so pretty with the lemon, lime and cucumber in it!
That muffin looks delicious – I wish there was a Great Harvest in MA.
Hope you were productive today.
Love, love the pitcher and that breakfast looks amazing.
I was wondering – are you still carrying all those bags to work every day? I finally lost it this week after I got stuck going through the door with my 4 bags and resolved to streamline. The solution isn’t as black or chic as I would like but at this point, mobility trumps fashion! LOL.

that is a beautiful pitcher. man…i need to get married. for the registry, of course…i mean the union of two people is great too…but, yea, the registry… 🙂 Just kidding. 🙂 Kind of.
One more thing I tried today. TrueLemon (I love TrueOrange even more – is very tasty. In those situations where fresh citrus fruit isn’t available. Calorie free and sweetener free.
STUNNING! you always have the most adorable stuff… 🙂 i didn’t do a thing to stay hydrated today (oops) and i’m feeling it! chugging some water as we speak 🙂
I love adding basil and cucumber to a pitcher of ice water. It feels sort of fancy. 🙂
As always, your pictures are gorgeous!
