Good morning all. Happy Hump Day! Except it really only feels like Tuesday since we had Monday off. Don’t ya love that?
Yesterday wasn’t as rough as I thought it would be. Anything that technically feels like Monday is never fun, but the day went by pretty fast for me. Breakfast was boring cereal – no pic.
In the afternoon, I went out into the sweltering heat to grab some lunch.
You know – my usual salad. The salad place happened to be particularly busy yesterday and my regular salad guy was trying to move quick. So he literally just started throwing all my items in without me even asking. I noticed several people giving me strange looks and then finally the guy next to me said “Don’t worry – he does the same for me too. He knows my usual. It’s kind of nice and it impresses the tourists.” Haha. It was pretty funny.
Do you have staple meals or items that you consistently eat?
For some reason, I have always been this way when it comes to my lunch salad. At my last job, my co-workers wanted to buy me my salad as a surprise for my birthday, so they actually went in with a picture of me, showed it to the salad guy and he knew exactly who I was and what I wanted immediately. Surprisingly, I never feel like I get in a salad rut either. I only eat it once or twice a week at max – so it doesn’t seem to get old.
Sorry for that random tangent. I just thought it was hysterical.
After work yesterday, I decided to head to the gym for a short run. The heat was out of control and I knew running outside would be brutal. I did a quick 3 miles in 26:14 and then finished up with some ab and arm work. I was just not feeling like working out yesterday.
Dinner last night was back to the basics – pork chops and a massive side salad.
After dinner, I spent a little time working on some of our Ireland itinerary. We are all set for Dublin and Galway. Slowly making some progress. And yes, I’m booking all of our accommodations ahead of time because I’m just not the girl that can go without having everything set. I’d love to be that spontaneous and free, but that’s just not me. I’m a planner and I wouldn’t feel comfortable if I didn’t have it all squared away.
Are you a planner or do you prefer to fly by the seat of your pants?
Oh and just for fun, here is one of the few pics that was actually taken this weekend.
Yup – that’s Hubby and me on a four-wheeler! My mom grew up on a farm (a real one with cows, chickens, vegetables and all that), and we go up there once or twice a year to visit with our family in that area. In case you didn’t know, the easiest form of transportation on a farm is by four-wheeler. I grew up riding on them with my older cousins, so this was like a little blast from the past…and a lot of fun! 🙂
Ok all – have a Happy Hump Day!!
Eat, Read, Run 
I’m DEFINITELY a planner! I like to have everything settled down to the letter before I head out on a trip. If things change once we get there, that’s okay, but I want to know I’ve got my bases covered!
No food stories, but last time I went to the library the librarian saw me and retrieved my held book without asking for name or library card!
A planner to a fault! But every once in a while, it is fun to get out of that scheduled zone.
“it’s kind of nice and impresses the tourists”- that made me laugh!
But I have a pretty standard salad, too. So I can’t say much. :p
I’m definitely a planner. But aspire to be spontaneous. It’s a constant battle in my head… lol
Oh goodness I am SUCH a planner. It drives my husband nuts sometimes. He is teaching me that not planning everything out is okay and actually a little more fun! haha! I am definitely still a planner during the week to stay organized but I am trying to let loose more on the weekends and just go with the flow! I am learning….
