10 Random Things

Took these out for dinner last night- mushy they were- but I toasted and toasted! They were OK. My salad was FANTASTIC! I realized I had no dressing besides oil & vinegar so I whipped some up using a package of Hidden Valley Buttermilk ranch, Fage 0%, and fat free 1/2 & 1/2. Came out great!





Sean came home early so we walked to the library then went over to the health food store Harvest House. I love this store! They have a HUGE area with BULK BINS! So nice to try a small portion of something- or a large portion too! :) 

Got some rolled oats, unsweetened shredded coconut, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds (both for an experiment. lol) a couple of bars & Sean came wandering back over to me with RISOTTO! lol I just made him the mushroom one from Trader Joe's and now he adds this box to the basket! It does have better stats than the TJ's version. Maybe I will make it just for him.



Spotted something NEW- Coconut Sugar.
 

I dipped my finger in the bag when I got home and it tasted good! Not sure what I am going to try it in first! I will let you know! 

This morning I had one egg+one egg white salad on a bagel thin & some cherries for breakfast.






Ok now some FUN stuff! :) 

Cara over at Cara's Cravings posted a 10 RANDOM THINGS LIST. I liked it so I am borrowing  stealing the idea. :) Feel free to steal it too...it's kinda fun and a cool way to get to know each other better. :) 


TEN RANDOM THINGS

1. I have a scar on my chin from when I was 3. I was afraid of Mr. Snufagufalus, yes the big fuzzy brown character on Sesame Street, and when I heard the music that plays before he makes an appearance- I took off running up the stairs and fell- down on my chin. :(

2. I'm pretty anal about which way the toilet paper roll goes on the holder. I am an OVER believer and will change it if it is on wrong. I also feel just as strong about the paper towel roll too. lol

3.  I am a very light sleeper and I never thought I could sleep in the same bed with my boyfriend. It's not always a peaceful night, but I find it comforting that he is there. 

4. Speaking of sleep- I need a lot. 8,9 or 10 hours will do. If I get anything less than 6 I feel sick. 

5. I have an Apple addiction. No, not the ones you bite into...lol I love my iMac, iPad, & iPhone and would grab all 3 in case of a fire. 

6. I am not originally sealed. What do I mean by this? I had my gallbladder removed through my belly button (I was 17) and since that is the way they SEAL you when you are born (making the knot in the umbilical cord) I feel like because they had to open that part of me up that I am not originally sealed. lol Strange huh? 

7. I love basketball. When I was 9 my Dad was watching a game on tv and asked me if the green team (the Celtics) or the purple team (the Lakers) would win. I picked purple and my LOVE of the game and my PURPLE TEAM was born. I remember watching the following season- the winners got their championship rings. GO LAKERS! :) 

8. If you placed a big ice cream sundae & a sandwich(on a good french or sour dough roll) on a table in front of me I'd grab the sandwich each time. You could replace that ice cream with a slice of cake, pie, or candy bar- I would still grab the sandwich each time. My love of bread wins!

9. I have a lip gloss addiction. DEW KISS lipgloss from Avon is my favorite! When I buy it I get 20 at a time. Hey it's only 99 cents! lol I have them all over the house- on my side of the couch, at the computer desk, on my night table, in my purse, in my wallet (just in case I leave my purse at home.) and when I am driving and Sean is the passenger- If I need to re-apply he knows what zippered compartment my gloss is in and gets it for me. lol 

10. Sean & I met online. He answered my personal on LOVE @AOL (now Match.com) 10 years ago. He asked to meet me right away when we started to chat but I put it off 2 months because I was not confident in myself. I was nervous he would not like me. But he did. :) 



:) What are your 10 random things? Let me know if you STEAL the idea! :)

  7. I'm going to have to check out the coconut sugar; I'm intrigued.

    Have you ever played team basketball?

    If I'm at a gym with a basketball court, I love to take time out to shoot some hoops...

  10. I'm catching up on blogs today...

    I already said Yay you for your WL this week...but it bears repeating!!! Yay you!!!!

    I'm having tacos tonight...ala TJ. Got romaine for the 'shells'. I'll let you know how that goes for me.

    Your egg salad looked really good. I love egg salad, and never make it when I'm being 'good'. Since I've decided that WW this time around is a lifetime thing, I'm going to make it like you did! I'm all about ES on squishy white bread with lots of butter....just going to have to learn to like it on whole wheat. Yep I am.

    TP? Over of course. If you do it under, you're wrong. I might steal your idea for my blog too...got a bit radical today...need to tame it down!

    I'm so jealous that you have a Trader Joe's and a Whole Foods and a farmers market. I have Wal-Mart! NO FAIR!!!!

    Keep up the good work and keep sending out those recipes. I for one am using them.

  12. I've never thought about it like that, I guess I'm not "originally sealed" either! crazy!

  13. I'm hungry TJ... I think I'll have that egg samich for din-din. I live near a natural health food store and they have those cool bins too. Wish I could get my daniel to enjoy that place. Oh and you crack me up about being sealed... too cute.

    I've tasted the Praeger burgers from TJ and they were pretty good.
