Lady in Red

Sorry for the hiatus!!  Life has been crazy around here!  We’ve been frantically searching for a new car and finally found one.

A 2008 Toyota Camry LE with less than 14,000 miles on it.  It’s the base model, but considering the age of the cars we have been driving (1990 and 1996) it feels space age.

AND it has a sunroof!

In other news, we had a dog trainer from Canine Homeschool come by on Friday.  it took about three hours for us to go through everything Goliath needed to know and he did great!  He’s really doing well with come, sit and down and we’ll gradually work on “stay,” “leave it,” and “drop it..”  He’s also learning how to not run down the stairs when people some in the door or knock. :mrgreen:

We’re learning to be the alpha and keep Goliath in his place by:

  • Eating before we feed the dogs
  • Go through doorways first
  • Don’t let him on the couch or bed (hard!)
  • Don’t pick him up (SUPER hard!)

I’m going to try my very best to follow these rules.

Now, going back in time even more…

My mid-afternoon snack on Monday was some popcorn and a clementine.

I put some parmesan and garlic season on the popcorn.

After work I ran home to take the dogs to the dog park before they closed.

Unfortunately, I thought they closed at sunset, but they closed at 5:30.  We were only there for maybe 5 minutes before it was time to go.  :(   Rusty was NOT happy.

I don’t remember what dinner was…I just remember having a 7PM meeting at church that night.

I posted Tuesday morning’s breakfast already and can’t remember what lunch was..  A turkey sandwich on whole wheat with cheese and RF mayo and then Veggie Chips on the side, I think.

Dinner was a vegetarian casserole with brown rice, black beans, broccoli, green beans, peas and cheese.

I was REALLY craving some sweets, and I tried to satisfy it with a piece of whole wheat toast with yogurt spread and jam, but that didn’t do it.

Just as I was ready to go out and find something, I found a box of Jell-O Chocolate Pudding in a drawer.

Granted, it was a little past the expiration date…

…but I didn’t care.

It definitely hit the spot.  After all this I went out with Josh and a friend for a little while.  I didn’t order anything, but made quite a dent in Josh’s fries.

Wednesday morning breakfast was multigrain Cheerios with skim milk.  No picture, though. 

Lunch was leftovers in Tomato Basil wraps (x 2).

Dessert was also leftovers…pudding.

Mid-afternoon snack were two clementines.

I can’t remember what I had for dinner and there don’t appear to be any pictures to jog my memory. 

Thursday morning breakfast was a container of Fage 0% Plain Greek yogurt with some of my failed granola.  (Old picture)

Lunch was a Cedarlane Beans and Rice burrito.

With MORE pudding.

Mid-afternoon snack were some pretzels.

We spent Thursday evening car shopping and ended up having dinner at East Asia, a sushi place we’d never been to.  We were a little wary because there was only ONE other car in the parking lot.  It was quite nice, though, and well priced.  I don’t have any picture because my camera is broken (lens won’t extend…hopefully it can be fixed!) and it was too dim to get a good picture with my phone.

I got a house salad, miso soup, shrimp tempura roll, and another roll I can’t remember the name of.  It had cooked white fish on top.  Everything was delicious and I’m sure we’ll be visiting this place more often.

Friday I don’t remember really having breakfast before the trainer came and then we spent all day buying a car.  In all the excitement I can’t really remember anything I ate yesterday. :oops:

This morning I made oatmeal pancakes. It’s a mix from Quaker Oats.

I also had some fruit with it, 1 clementine and some blueberries.  I made extras to freeze.

Lunch was a packet of Madras Lentils with two pieces of whole wheat bread.

We then took our new car to get new tires and while we waited Josh went to Subway for lunch.  Since I’d already eaten all I had was a drink and a chocolate chip cookie.

We also went to TJ Maxx while we waited.  I got Goliath a new bed and some new bowls.  I also got myself some treats.

70 cent Larabars and an Honest granola plank!! So excited.  I have yet to try either of these Larabar flavors.100227-202722

Despite the cookie, I was really craving froyo, so after we picked up the car I had Josh take me to Swirls where I got the Low-fat Double Chocolate Fudge with almonds, marshmallows, strawberries and some Snickers pieces.

Now….if you survived this epic post, congratulations!! I’m off to catch up on Lost while Goliath enjoys his new bed.
