Good afternoon, all!  I’m so glad you guys like the shirts from FoodTee as much as I do!  I have a feeling I will be buying a lot of fun foodie gifts from them this year.  Don’t forget to enter the giveaway before Friday!

Today has been super productive – I’ve been checking things off my list all day long – check, check, check!  Around noon, the dogs started to look super pathetic, and the sun was shining, so I leashed them up for a short 3 mile-ish run around the neighborhood.  When I got back it was after 1pm and I was staaaaaaarving. 

We are headed HOME to Cincinnati for a long weekend, so today and tomorrow are operation eat-what-is-perishable.  Lunch was healthy and colorful, just as it should be…

Spinach salad with mushrooms, grape tomatoes, crumbled feta, and a new balsamic dressing I picked up at Trader Joe’s…

On the side – vegetables for dipping – sliced bell peppers and grape tomatoes. 

But dip into what, you ask?  Roasted red pepper hummus – a nice healthy glob.

And the last little bit of the Chobani that Kath and I opened last night for our pancakes.  With the last of Casey’s homemade granola bars – I will miss these!

Such a beautiful day, today!  A vast improvement over yesterday’s fluke blizzard.

After lunch, I headed back to the office to get some more computer work done.  I turned around to see my stalker curled up into a tiny ball by my makeup table.  Seriously – what a weird place to decide to take nap!

He is pooped from our run and just wants to sleep, but always has to be in the same room as me.  He literally follows me around the house, and once he has determined that I am staying somewhere, he makes himself comfortable. 

There are worse things in life than having a whole week off in my comfy home, and being stalked by a snuggly yellow mutt.  :)

I am starting to get really excited to head home for a long weekend, and see all my friends and both families!  Hoping to take some of today’s NC sunshine with me…
