Over 4 inches (twss)

All these readers coming out of the woodwork – I love it!!  Especially when I get free back/chiropractor advice out of it.  You guys are the BEST

Javaaaahhh.  Much like yesterday’s, this cup was another NuStevia success story.  I adore the hint of vanilla that a few drops of extract provides.  YUM.

I’m not sure why that apple looks so small – or why I appear to have man-hands?  It was a normal sized apple…but evidently the vise-like grip of my massive hands makes fruit resemble 2-bite horse apples.

Whatevs.  While sipping away, I researched wedding dresses, chatted with my momz, researched back-stretcher-outer-peeps, researched flights to go home in Oct, and researched US Open tix (basically I went blind from starting at the computer screen) and thereupon decided to quit the computer and make lunch.

These are the remaining two Gardenburgers from a few weeks back.  The were crazy oily when I heated them up today, so I patted them down, then sliced them up for optimal hummus dipping.  I don’t think I’ll buy this brand of soy burgers again…the consistency is bizarro, and the flavor is too similar to real meat (which I don’t really like).  As I said last time I reviewed these, I prefer veg-loaded, grainy, seedy burgers.  These were too processed.  But what can I say, I was lazy, and these involved nothing more than punching numbers on the microwave. 

I also toasted a slice of Alvarado Street bread and lathered it with hummus.  I also had more hummus with carrots on the side.

I snacked on dried papaya spears while continuing my aforementioned computer-ing.  You like how I just turn every noun into a verb by adding an “ing” ending?  Four years at UCLA was such a great investment, no?

After the dried fruit sugar hit my blood stream, I laced up my sneaks, and bounced out of the door.  On my way to the gym I ran into a coworker.  Random!  We chatted a bit, and soon I was back on my merry little way.  Nothing ground breaking at NYSC today, just some good old fashioned elliptical followed by abs and stretching. 

On the way home I found what may just be the MOST EXCITING THING since sliced bread live sprouted bread…

Mini-single tubs of Sabra hummus!!!!!!  O.M.eff.G!

I can’t wait to use up the last of my Tribe singles so I can bring these bad boys to work!  Amore.

I was in a big-time rush for a hair cut appt, so this bowl was consumed in 3 seconds flat.  I’m fairly certain there is a whole almond somewhere in my GI tract right now.  Sorry Mr. Duodenum!

New hair cut!  I said I wanted a trim with some light layers, and next thing I know he’s chop chop chopping away.  Eeek.  The control freak in me was gripping the armrests so hard my knuckles were white, but the non-confrontational side of me held it together.  Deep breathing.  Count to ten.  He cut off over 4 inches.  I’m no hair dresser, but I consider a trim in the 1-2 inch range…anyways, all the blonde is officially gone (woohoo).  I think this is a sign.  The blonde represented my California days, and now I’m a super serious hard New Yorker brunette.  Riiiiight.

BTW, the make-up-free photo just goes to show you how I have no sensor whatsoever on this blog.  And the massive bags under my eyes show you how sleep deprived I am. 

Just keep it simple salad: spinach, cherry toms, raw corn, carrots, chickpeas, and hummus.  Yes, chickpeas AND hummus.  Don’t act surprised.

For dessert I savored the above VeganRella cheddar “cheese” melting into a beautiful cheesy mess on toasted Alvarado Street bread.

Back to the grind manana.  Peace out!
