Andrea: I’ve got issues

Who doesn’t?  Today’s issues were camera related.  I think leaving it out on a rainy balcony on Thursday might have had something to do with it :)   Luckily, it hasn’t crapped out 100% yet!

I’m still recovering from the weekend, so when my alarm went off this morning, I immediately set it for an additional hour.  I still woke up in time to have a leisurely morning, but I just didn’t feel like making oatmeal.  You know what that means…

…cereal mess.  (Yes VG, those are Puffins in there!)  The picture is foggy because I blew on the lens to open up the lens cover and it fogged over.  I waited for it to clear, but my cereal was starting to get soggy so you’re just gonna have to deal :)

My afternoon eats were all over the map.  First I had a salad with the usual suspects:

  • avocado
  • red pepper
  • artichoke hearts
  • shredded carrots
  • havarti cheese

Then I had this:

Easter treats were in abundance when I got to the office.  There’s also a crap load of these diet bars left.  At least I’m not eating the Kraft Live Active bars they have lying around too.  Those just have “Jamie Lee Curtis Moment” written all over them, if you know what I mean.  If you don’t, then click on the link.

A little bit after this, I had a healthy snack – only two ingredients!

I was cleaning out my wallet this afternoon and found a coupon for Old Chicago Pizza.  Chris and I hadn’t had dinner out in a while, so it seemed like the thing to do.  You’ll have to forgive the next couple pictures – the lighting was horrible!

I ordered a Magnificent Seven calzone with tomatoes, green chilies, black olives, onions, green peppers, mushrooms, and mozzarella.

These things are huge, but I was good and only ate half even though I could have eaten the whole thing.  Believe me – I’ve done it before!  Chris was craving dessert, so we ordered some cheesecake.

The crust was way to sugary for me, so I just ate some of the cheese part.

We came home and Chris wanted to finish the Blazer game before we watched the last episode of Big Love, so I did a Jillian Michaels “No More Trouble Zones” 40 minute workout on Exercise TV.  I didn’t give it my all because it was pretty hard and I wasn’t sure of how to pace myself.  Next time, I know I’ll be able to finish it with no problems.  Every time I do these videos through my cable, I think that it’s crazy that I don’t do at least something every day.  It’s more of a habit to skip out on workouts than to make sure I get them in every day.

Okay, time for bed.  I’m going to leave you with another inappropriate SNL video.  It’s an oldie, but a goodie – a couple of readers reminded me of this video after my request for “Balls” references.  Enjoy!

(Sorry about the poor quality – best I could find!  And sorry to be bringing up balls again – but we’re probably cool because I don’t think you read this blog for my lady-like demeanor.)

  2. Schweaty balls! OMG…classic. I don’t even have to watch it to know how freakin’ hilarious it is.

    The calzone does look mighty tasty, as does the cheesecake. You put the coupon to good use!

  3. OMG. You cannot say, “These things are huge,” and have Shweaty balls on your blog. Steam is coming out of my ears and nuts (there it is again!) and bolts and springs are shooting off of me. Malfunction. Malfunction. Malfunction.

  10. Ohhh that calzone sounds delicious! I could definitely eat a whole one as well, but try to pack 1/2 away as soon as I get it, makes it easier for sure.

    Shweaty balls!!! Oh I love that sketch and I haven’t seen it in a long time, so thank you for bringing it back into my life. Oh and puhlease don’t apologize for all the ball references, because I will never be to “old and mature” to appreciate them. Plus, at the moment I work as a PE teacher at a K-8 school, where I am not allowed to say the word “ball” and must say “play equipment.” Day after day of that… bring on the inappropriate language!

    Why is it that restaurant photos always turn out so crappy? Screw mood lighting, we’ve got photos to take! Geez.

    LOL… I never watch SNL regularly (no pun intended!! hahahaha) but did catch one of the Jamie Lee Curtis/Activia skits. Dude, that Schweaty Balls skit is a riot! Thanks for putting that in the post :)

    Good job on not eating the whole calzone! It looks really good. I haven’t had a calzone in a long time… Great use of the coupon, for sure ;)

  21. I just did that DVD the other day and it’s hard! I used 5 lb dumbbells and just had to leave some of the moves out. Next time I’ll use soup cans.
    Balls. Balls. Balls. Balls. Balls. Teabag. Balls. Balls. Balls.
