Since I’m feeling a bit rusty with the whole blogging thing after my little break, how about you guys give me a free pass and I just jump in on Amanda’s link up with some Thursday randomness? Yeah? Sound good? Can we get started now?
1a. How…seriously HOW could this be my LAST cookies & cream Quest bar? 1b. And why did it have to be chocked FULL of chunks that made me want to run to the computer and order five thousand boxes even though I have a million other bars I need to eat? 1c. How’s that for a good run-on sentence that’s not really a sentence at all since it started with a fragment? 😉
2a. Why did I honestly think these were going to tasted the way I imagined? For the record, they taste like butter…straight up BUTTER! 2b. Maybe they shoulda called ’em Paula Dean-os? 2c. Am as funny as I sometimes think I am?
3a. Do you think having FIVE different bags of coffee open at once is a bit much? 3a. Or the fact that I practically drooled all over myself after I spotted a few of these babies at Publix the other day? 3b. Who’s with me in the fact that life is totally unfair since my store only carries THREE out of all those flavors they have?
4a. How many trips to the park, weird glances from strangers, and bugs up my nose do you think it’ll take to get my flexibility back after being out the yoga studio for nearly three months? 4b. Would the extra protein from the bugs be enough to be considered a post-workout supplement? 4c. DID YOU SEE CARLY EAT A BUG?? 😯
5a. How AMAZING is this sunset? 5b. Does it make you think of my favorite Portugal. The Man song? 5c. Did you know that I’m going to fall at their knees at Loufest this weekend??
Oh and speaking of the festival…? 😉
6a. Did you know Glass Animals is gonna be there? 6b. Have you HEARD this song? 6c. Is it crazy that since I found it two weeks ago, I’ve played it about three times a day EVERY day??
7. Did you know I have this weird thing about ending lists with sixes?
Now I think it’s time I passed the torch…give ME some questions!!
And then hop on over to Spoons and show our hostess a little love! 😀
I hope you guys have all had a wonderful August. Can you believe summer’s almost over? Even with the last few weeks off from blogging, I still have NO IDEA where time seems to go…well unless it’s during the workweek…in which the hours go by like years. You guys let me know if you hear about any job openings for couch cushion testers…I happen to think I have MORE than the required skills (read: ASSets) qualified for the job!
Har har har!
Alright so enough with the corny jokes…this month has been FULL of excitement and I think it’s about time I got to spillin…
Current Book:
After going back and forth and back AND forth on my next reading endeavor, I finally gave up on the two I was debating over and borrowed my sister’s copy of The Fault in Our Stars…and finished it in TWELVE HOURS!
As a high standing member of the Kids Who Don’t Read Fast Society, I’d like to take a minute to indulge in a little booty shaking. I know I’m probably like the last person on Earth to read this, but if by chance you haven’t (and you would like to get a good sense of my sick and twisted sense of humor) then you HAVE to pick up this book! I can’t wait to see the movie!
Current Music:
I have been ALL over the place this month with music, prepping my ears for the wonderment that will soon be flowing through them at Loufest, but the band that really got me under their spell was Elektrik People. Seriously, these guys know their sex…er, I mean MUSIC! 😉
Current Guilty Pleasure:
Finding some of my favorite bands at the library and making them disappear into MY library! 😯
Current Nail Color:
Watermelon…with a side of Chobani. Yes, I was so easily amused by my matching manicure that I paused my shopping for photo documentation.
Current Entertainment:
Hemlock Grove. Have you guys seen this? It’s another Netflix original and actually part of the reason why I am now obsessed with Elektrik People since they played this song on one of their episodes.
Current Wish/Needs:
More time! More time! More TIIIIIIIIME!!
Current Food:
It’s funny, I haven’t actually slipped into any food ruts this month. I’m kinda all over the place…though I have to say when I’m at home, most of my meals have been multiple small snacks…my latest fave is a handful of UNSALTED peanuts and fruit (or strawberry Mini-wheats) which to me, tastes like a PB&J!
Current Drink:
Java, booze, java, booze, smoothie! During the week, I have my daily cuppa Joe and on the weekends I flirt with his brother Bob (the boozer). And just to keep things well and balanced, I throw a couple of smoothies in the mix!
Current Triumphs:
Finally NAILING a good sleep schedule! I’m not keeping my night shift sleep patterns exactly the same on my days off, but by going to bed around 3-4am and waking up around 1pm, I’ve been feeling great! Downside? I’ve missed the farmer’s market two weeks in a row and I can’t seem to get to the yoga studio at ALL these days…it’s been MONTHS! 🙁
Current Bane of Existence:
At the risk of sounding like a broken record: Time-ta-ta-ta-TIIIIIIME!
Current Blogger Crush:
Sorry guys, I must confess that since taking the month off, I have read zilch, zero, NADA.
Current Indulgence:
Please see the cookies in the bottom right hand corner above. Those would be s’mores CRACK cookies (bottom layer of graham crackers, chocolate chips and marshmallows inside!) that one of the besties made for our last get-together…we may or may not nearly have polished off the whole damn pan!
Current Blessing:
Speaking of the besties…
Two women who just GET me…who I can laugh with, cry with, and drunk yoga with! 😉
Current Outfit:
With the heat waves we’ve been having around here lately, as little as absolute possible! And I still stand firmly behind the no pants thing from last month!
Current Excitement:
In less than a week, I will be in the middle of a musical wonderland aka my heaven aka in close proximity to my monkey loves AND my Portugal men! I am not to be held responsible for any undergarments undone and released during these three days. Also? I’m taking the entire week off afterward to recover relax! 😉
And ohhh, I look fabulous in red and white stripes, no? 😉 Second things second, I still love you guys and I honestly don’t want to give up blogging, but third things third (promise, last one), could someone PLEASE tell me where the time has gone?!
This summer has been…well it’s been something. On the work side of things, I’m totally getting my ass kicked. Most day’s it’s go-go-go from the time I clock in to the time I clock out. If I actually do get any down time between patients, I’m trying to catch my breath and/or scarfing down my dinner without aspirating. Life beyond those lead-lined walls has been pretty full too. Thankfully full of good things but still, I wonder how I used to fit so much more into my days.
There have been a lot of changes in Broccoliland over the last few months…a lot of changes that I think I’d eventually like to share, but at the moment, I’m just not ready. I apologize for dropping off the face of the {blog}world for the last two weeks, but I’m gonna go ahead and take two more off. Hopefully, by the end of the month, things will have settled down some and I can pop back in with a little “Currently” post to catch all you guys up! Until then…
My name is Heather! I'm a southern gal with a passion for food, fitness, and photography...and alliteration if you didn't notice! Here you'll find a mix of random musings, delicious recipes, and hopefully a chuckle or two! Check out my "About' tab to learn more!
