First of all, thank you all so much for the good luck wishes on the interview. I guess I should let you know that it went very well. So well, in fact, that I have a part time job now Thank goodness for having something to do!! I will be working in a bakery at a large chain. I like to bake and have fun in the kitchen so I think it will be a good fit. I’ve worked in the food industry before (server) so I think I will be prepared.

Before the interview I was quite nervous. It’s been a while since I’ve had one so nerves were higher than normal. Before leaving I ate a nervous snack. Ezekiel toast with peanut butter and a few pieces of Sarris dark chocolate.

How cute is this wrapping? That’s a message worth endorsing

After the interview I got home and started some dinner. We also popped some champaigne to 1. celebrate my new job  2. celebrate boy’s bday and 3. because we have 3 bottles laying around that need to be enjoyed. A World Market near us closed a few months back so we bought a bunch of bottles when they were marked down for super cheap. I’d been wanting to try some Cupcake champaigne for a while anyways, so this gave me an excuse. I had some by itself first (was good) and then made a Pom cocktail for myself (make that two). We didn’t finish the bottle because we aren’t big drinkers. I always feel bad for letting this stuff go to waste

For dinner I cooked up some Curry Chicken Fingers we grabbed from TJ’s and veggies. The mix included broccoli, peppers, kale, chickpeas and curry powder.

My plate=lots of veggies and a chicken strip.

The veggies were good but the chicken was way too salty! I didn’t add any salt at all to the mixture so the sauce that came on it was to blame. This was a TJ’s fail for me. Boy liked it a lot but the saltiness to away the flavor for me.

For dessert I had another Jello cup. This time caramel with a sarris almond butter crunch chocolate.

Last night boy finished off my marshmallow fluff jar allowing me to have an amazing breakfast. Oat bran in a marshmallow fluff jar!

Into the mix went a tbsp of cocoa powder, some chia seeds and some peanut butter.

Yummm…washed it down with some English breakfast tea in my Liberty of London mug.

I hit Target a bit later for a prescription refill and found some great stuff on sale.

Refuel for my runs.

Lunch was another bowl of souped up soup. Same base with some lentils, roasted maters, pita crumbs, spinach, a dollop of hummus and feta thrown in.

Seriously the best hummus I have ever eaten. This is the only kind I get now. And that’s how you turn an ordinary canned soup into magic. I had two of TJ’s after dinner mints to cool my mouth after the hot soup.

Later this evening I will joining some locals for a trail run. I am really excited and I am even more excited that the sun has finally come out. It’s still going to be a sloppy mess out there after the rain yesterday, but sloppy runs are pretty fun.

I hope everyone has their taxes finished. Remember tomorrow is Tax Day! As an incentive, you should head to Starbucks with your coffee mug to get a free cuppa coffee. You have to provide your own mug though, which is better for the environment anyways.

Hope everyone has a lovely day!
