Hey everyone! Wooohooo Thursday! It’s 5am and I’m about to head out into “freezing rain…” REALLY? I guess that’s what we get when we hope for the weather to warm up! So lovely. Anyway, on to this week’s Thursday Thoughts!
1. So I work near the Wrigley building downtown and I noticed that in three of the windows (that I can see) there are lights shining out of the window. I am HORRIBLY curious about it and after not finding anything on google and then mentioning it to my cousin she said it’s now my responsibility to find out what they are. I will report back next Thursday.
2. I now understand why it was always so hard to get people to do things after work. I officially hate doing things after work. Why? Because I wake up at 4:50am, go to the gym, come home and get ready, go to work, go to whatever my event is, get home around 9:00-10:00pm and go straight to bed, then do it all over again. WHEN I AM SUPPOSED TO WATCH THE BACHELOR?! Or search for a real job…
3. Yesterday I was walking into my office and some people from Ft. Lauderdale were outside doing some sort of promotion to get you to go there (don’t have to ask me twice). They gave me some free sunglasses and I entered to win a trip there. Everyone cross your fingers!
4. As much as I hate my lack of free time right now, it is SO NICE to get dressed in the morning and take the bus with all the other commuters and go to an office. I feel like a human again.
5. I’m going to Blend. Well, I plan on going to Blend (I now live in a world where everything is tentative). Who else is going!?!?
6. What should I make for lunches next week?! What’s your favorite packable food that lasts throughout the week?
7. I’ve decided I’m going to start bringing breakfast to work. I had bought these Hot Oats for when Maddie was here and I ended up eating them Monday and Tuesday morning with some Justin’s Almond butter. It was so much better than rushing through my breakfast before catching the bus.
8. So true:
Do you eat breakfast at home or at work?
If you could travel anywhere this weekend, where would you go?
ahhhhhhh i love this thursday thoughts edition!!!!!
you sound really happy katie 😀 that makes me happy 😀 mmmmm one of the lunches i love packing myself is a spaghetti squash topped with ground meat and tomato sauce! yum
have a great week
Oooo that sounds like a delicious lunch idea! Love you!
For lunch, the sweet potato-miso-tahini salad you brought to bookclub before keeps really well! I add chickpeas and celery to it to make a meal of it 🙂
Oh that’s a great idea, thanks Diana!
BLEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Wooohooo!
Ooohhh… we talked about this! I do baked oatmeal almost every week… it’s so perfect because I get six slices out of an 8X8 pan…
Also, I hear you on the after work thing. Perhaps it’s because I”m a morning gymm person, but I am definitely not part of the happy hour crowd. I sort of had to go to a dinner being put on by one of our vendors last night. Needless to say, I’m struggling today.
Haha I’m always struggling after those late nights and early wake ups. I’m rearranging my workout schedule so I take Tuesday mornings off because I never make it home before 10 on Monday nights.
AMEN to that last quote!!!
I SO hope I can go to BLEND! I want to meet you in person!! I might try and go at least a day (it is only 35 minutes away from me), but I have a family vacation near the time, so I am not sure when I am leaving for that. I need to get in touch with Lindsay and see what I can figure out!
YOU MUST come to Blend!!!! Ahhhhhhhhh please come!! Haha even if we just grab a meal (or froyo haha) together I’d love it!
Aww yeah! Looks like we will be blending together! 😉 I can’t wait to meet you 🙂
Woohooo!!!
Have fun at Blend! Lunches are often soup for me, it’s easy to reheat and you can get a lot of veggies in there if you try! I usually have it with some tofu loaf, or veggie burgers to keep me going through the afternoon.
I’m making soup today for the week!
I’m going to Blend!! Cannot wait – I hope you’re able to go! I eat breakfast at home – joys of my thesis year. I get to work from home 90% of the time 😀
YAY!!!! Can’t wait to see you again!
I’m hoping my husband will understand the “I don’t want to do anything after work” once he starts working next year (he’s in chiropractor school) 🙂
Ah, haha I’m sure after the first two weeks he’ll totally understand!
Lately I’ve been eating breakfast in the car on the way to work! It saves the most time for me.
As for lunches, my favorite is rice and beans (amped up with extra veggies) or Mama Pea’s (peasandthankyou) Garden enchilada bake. If I wasn’t on my phone I’d link to it but for real, it’s the best! I can make the recipe and get at least 6-8 meals out of it!
My dad also eats breakfast in the car! I’ve thought about eating on the bus, but it’s so packed that it’s just awkward… haha. And I could really only do a smoothie.
