After an uneventful plane ride home from Baltimore with Ali and Julie, I faced my worst nightmare: Unpacking! (Borrowed this gorgeous airport shot from Ali! Picnic lunch, yay!)
I may have lost the battle, but Unpacking isn’t going to win the war. I swear I’m going to put everything away when I get home from work.
I’ll even make some room in my closet for these babies. I’m sending 2 pairs of OLD sneakers home so I can enjoy my New Balance sample. 3 days later and I’m still excited! Free shoes are a BIG deal, especially cuz I really like them.
Sipped and slurped on a big glass of water with a lemon. Love the vintage Harpoon glass. I think this one is from St. Patrick’s Day 2006.
Jared made dinner: chicken and whole wheat spaghetti. He overserved me, as usual, but I saved a piece of chicken for lunch later this week.
While we were at the airport, I told Ali and Julie that I was craving a smoothie. I ended up ordering a Chai Smoothie and while it was delicious, my craving was still there. So I decided to make my own smoothie at home.
- 1 banana
- 1 container of POM juice
- a few handfuls of frozen berries
- a few handfuls of spinach
- 1/4 cup of water
Mmmm! Delicious Banana Berry POM smoothie. I was sneaky and didn’t tell Jared there was also spinach in his smoothie.
First sip…and he loved it. I dropped the Spinach bomb, but he was so impressed with the taste that he drank the whole thing.
My back/butt/hips were bothering me last night. Maybe cuz I spent a few days away from my foam roller??? I spent a lot of time whining and a little time stretching. Hopefully I feel ok to run tomorrow cuz my next workout calls for a speed run.
This morning I had an overflowing bowl of PB Puffins cereal with a spoonful of Dark Chocolate Dreams peanut butter.
When I left for work, I saw this chaos on Tremont Street. ABC is filming a cop show on Union Park until 10 pm tonight so there are trucks and equipment all over the place. Jared and I normally walk down Union Park to go to the laundromat. I wonder if they need any extras in the background cuz we had 2 bags of laundry to drop off… 
Leftovers for lunch. Annie’s hamburger helper with a few pieces of broccoli. I love Annie’s mac and cheese, but I don’t care for this meaty version. It was ok when fresh, but ehhh as leftovers. I need a huge glass of water to wash the taste out of my mouth!

Unpacking is the absolute worst, I usually just leave the suitcase on the floor for a week before getting around to it…
Breakfast looks like such a winning combo. PB Puffins + DCD = perfect start to the week!

I’m the opposite. I don’t feel like I’m home until I’ve completely unpacked.
Free sneakers are definitely awesome considering how expensive they are. I can’t believe they were free!!

Unpacking is awful. I will probably unpack this weekend. I’m the worst at getting it done right away! My butt/hips are bothering me too! Maybe from sitting down so much over the weekend?!

Gah! I look like a hunchback.
Nice smoothie!! I’d never think to put pom in one…I’ll have to use my pom coupon to get a bottle and maybe make a smoothie! haha right after I make banana soft serve lol. But seriosuly, I want one.
Dude, are there any famous people down there?!? Do like Zack Galifinakis did on SNL and just walk up in the scene while they’re shooting and start calling people. lol

Haha I totally do that with Mike. I wait till he tries it and says he likes it before I tell him what’s in it (obv only if it’s something I don’t think he likes).
