Day 11...11/365
Sorry so blurry, the person who took the picture couldn’t keep the camera still! Want to know what I’m doing dressed like this? I work at an R&D kitchen for a large poultry company that makes a vast array of products. I was bagging and heat sealing raw chicken wings, tenders, and boneless skinless breasts just to see hows it done and say that I have 
Friday… How was yours? Mine was…
Friday was overall a good day. I waited for it for the whole week and when it came I was excited. I got some Starbucks mid-morning around 9:45 am:
Venti Cafe Americano with Non-fat Milk % 10 Splendas!
It was more weak-sauce that it normally is but that’s okay, a bad drink at Starbucks is still a good drink, isn’t it? But the caffiene in this drink (and in the first cup of black coffee I had after an hour of work) simply didn’t cut it so mid-afternoon, after lunch, my colleague co-worker friend that I work with gave me a piece of this:
Rockstar Gum, 80mg Caffeine for 2 pcs
Surprise, surprise, this gum tasted awful. The pieces are thick and hard to chew through. The worst part? I could barely chew through one piece and I didn’t feel the effect of the 40mg’s of caffeine. It was icky. I spent the rest of the afternoon yawning at my desk, feeling sluggish from staying up so late the night before. (Edit: Remember why I stayed up late? You can read about that in the 5th paragraph of this post, here) When I got off work, I came home and took a short (not really short at 45 minutes, but whatever!) nap and felt rejuvenated. So here’s what I did (while Matt went to his friends house to drink & play ping pong):
I edged the back yard, mowed the back yard, vacuumed the whole house, did three loads of laundry, took out all the garbage, cleaned the kitchen, did the dishes, cleaned the guest bathroom, cleaned the master bathroom, made the bed, and took out a few boxes of garbage that have been just sitting in our spare bedroom for months. THEN I took a hot shower, ran to Safeway to rent these DVD’s:
Up In The Air with George Clooney
and
The Time Traveler's Wife with Eric Bana
and I also got Leon some chewy meat flavored stick things (nasty), some Greek yogurt for breakfast, a Turkey sandwich and a big ‘ol jug of Diet Peach Snapple. I watched Up in the Air first and it was mediocre, at best. I really don’t see how any of those people got Academy Award nom’s for it, but whatever. I fell asleep about 30 minutes into The Time Traveler’s Wife but what I did see I wasn’t interested in. So yay for me for picking two bomb’s (IMO) on Friday night.
I got to bed around 1am and then Matt called me for a ride home around 2am. I woke up at 6 (Matt was up, not feeling well) and did some laundry then fell asleep on the couch. I woke up at 9am and cut up a peach and put it in my Fage Nonfat Plain Greek yogurt along with a pinch of Chocolate Whey Protein and a tiny bit of plain Oatmeal. It was DEELEESHOWS. I then toasted up a Orowheat Whole Grain Bread Thin and split this with Matt, putting two teaspoons of peanut butter on my portion. I followed this amazing breakfast with some hot, plain, black coffee. Yum.
Now we’re planning our day. We’re doing our traditional lunch at Baja Fresh this afternoon and maybe going to see SALT after that. Don’t know yet. But tomorrow…
My sister and I are going to Tori Spelling’s book signing & reading at Borders in Sacramento. Should be fun! It would be cool to get a picture with her!
Hope everyone has a cool Saturday and I will post again tonight!
