Hectic Hump Day & BBQ Tempeh & Portobello Sandwiches

Hectic Hump Day
Holy hump day. This day turned out to be a crazy busy day for me at work and then lots of Plan B's taking place. I had anticipated hitting spin after work with my friend (it was on my to-enjoy list). I had also anticipated getting my hair done (also on to-enjoy list).

What really happened was I had to reschedule my appointment and ended up hitting spin at lunch. Of course, the noon spin really helped me sort of regroup after a hectic, busy work morning. I am sure my boss was worried I might just go AWOL.

So, it really did kind of work out for the best that I was able to get my sweat on earlier rather than later. The only downfall is that I had planned on having time before spin class to get in back today. That'll just have to be moved to tomorrow or Friday though. I can be flexible...sometimes.


Hump Day Happy Hour (and Hubby cooking)
I typically don't go out on a school night ever. But today was the exception. I worked until 5 then ended up meeting my friend after work for a drink. She really wanted someone to talk to, and I needed to unwind in a big way. We met up at an Irish pub that we really enjoy. There was another group coming along at 6, but we met up a little after 5 and I just stayed for one drink.

Jason was nice enough to get dinner started for us. I had suggested maybe a tempeh BBQ with sweet potato fries. He put together sauteed onions, bell peppers, portobellos and tempeh with BBQ sauce for a BBQ Tempeh and Portobello Sandwich. Turned out so yummy. It was nice to come home after a hard day and have dinner going already too.

Oh, even better, we ate at the kitchen table again.

Daily To-Enjoy List
Well, last night Jason and I did eat at the kitchen table so I knocked that one off the list finally. But, we never got around to the movie. That's ok though. I'll just keep that one there for future to-enjoy moments. Today's additions were a little scattered, but they mostly got checked off.

Just like a to-do list, I can't expect every to-enjoy item to happen right? But, I am determined to make sure that I at least enjoy one of the things from my list. I'll also be happy to enjoy any unplanned to-enjoy moments as well ;-)
  • Movie with hubby (this will just be on-going)
  • Getting hair done (rescheduled)
  • Spin with friend (hit spin at different time, sans friend)
  • Happy hour with my friend (unplanned treat)

I Run to Feel Alive

Today is National Running Day . Guess what I did this morning? Cycling? Nope. Lifting? Nope. I bet you thought kickboxing right? Nope. Running? But of course! I actually sort of planned my running days this week just so I could participate this year. I didn't get to run last year and didn't even know about it the year before. But running has become such an integral part of my life and who I am, that I couldn't miss this year. Basically, I run to feel alive . It calms me, it helps me work through life, it's often a reason to get out of bed. No matter how tough a run is, it makes you feel ... period. My plan was to get in 5 miles (got in 5.5 actually). It was about 10 degrees warmer this morning and definitely more humid. That always makes for a tougher run. We decided to take a different route today. Well, it was really only a few streets over different, but still. The point is we took a different street. Sometimes that's good, sometimes not. I did realize th...

Let's Have Coffee

If you're a regular blog reader, I'm sure you've seen similar posts, scenarios if you will, about what we might chat about or what I might say if we sat down and had coffee together. I think these can be fun. Maybe fun isn't the right word choice exactly. But maybe it is? They're transparent, showing who the blogger really is ... if they're being honest of course. It's not often you truly get to sit down with the person behind the blog. Banana Nut Biscotti with Banana Glaze If we were to have coffee together ... I would first let you know that I'm not a super fan of coffee. I drink mine with hot cocoa and it's mostly out of habit rather than the need for caffeine. I could forgo it on the weekends entirely. Since we're talking coffee, I would also let you know that I've never ordered coffee from Starbucks and only once from a true coffee shop. I've only been into 2 Starbucks shops - the original in Seattle and one in town wher...
