One Saturday Morning

by snackface on January 28, 2012 · 9 comments

Happy weekend, my loves. After a week that had me busy from 6 a.m. to 9:30 p.m every day, I’ve never been more thankful for the weekend.

Finally, I can slow down and breathe. Slowing down and breathing obviously equates to pancakes on Saturday. Who’s with me?

Cooking, waiting for a bubbling surface.

Looking good. Beautiful golden brown.

The happiest plate of the week thus far. (We'll see what date night has in store!)

One recipe, four pancakes.

Fluffy!

I used Pimp My Protein Shake’s recipe for blackberry pancakes made with coconut flour, and was wildly pleased with the results. I used frozen wild blueberries instead of blackberries, which offered sweet, warm pops of flavor throughout.

On the agenda today: gym with DM (I snuck him in the last time muhaha), post office, bank, browsing but not buying and then dinna out. Have a beautiful Saturday, all!

Ciao for now,

Kailey

Themes

by snackface on January 26, 2012 · 22 comments

Heyo! I missed you guys. But I am thisclose to falling asleep. Why?

The theme of the work week: meetings.

(But seriously.) Source

The theme of my eats: salad, protein, protein cake things, cheese, cottage cheese, cheese on cheese on cheese. (Kidding.)

The theme of my social life: nonexistent. At least for this week and next.

The theme of my after-hours activities: gym.

The theme of my emails: see above three themes.

The theme in my head: I’m tired.

I was a few seconds away from a nervous breakdown today. After work (I left at 5:15 p.m., which already makes me feel guilty— it’s too early), I drove across town to a 6 p.m. appointment. As soon as I parked the car and turned it off, POOF! Something under the hood released a pop of sound and loads of steam. I’m not good in these situations. Not at all. I called DM. I called my dad. I went to my appointment. I swapped cars with Popsicle afterward. (THANK YOU!)

I drove to the gym. Changed into clothes that had been sitting in the freezing cold all day. Had a major sourpuss on. Then I planted myself on an elliptical with beach-themed magazines (read: old), Wale, Big Sean and Waka Flocka. And within minutes, everything was OK. Exercise therapy + music therapy = the ultimate.

I didn’t get home until 9. Finished dinner at 9:35. Watched American Idol. Showered. And then, I headed to bed to start this insanity all over again. Who else feels as though they’re after-work schedule is like an entirely separate day (or should be)?

Is it the weekend yet?

Ciao for now,

Kailey

Question: What are some themes of your week thus far?

Simply Sunday

by snackface January 22, 2012 Uncategorized

Hello, all! I have only a few final words on the hubbub and then I’m done: Thank you to the supporters and the dissenters and everyone in between. I’ve learned from you all. Now can we please move on? Great! Sunday was just as it should be: a lovely mix of relaxing and productive. It [...]

MeOW! People are decidedly divided on the carb situation. I originally thought that writing about this in a nonchalant manner would leave the reader with the feeling of, “Oh, OK, it’s really not that big of a deal.” Instead, it’s uncovered sides of the story I didn’t approach, and perhaps should. I usually eat a [...]

Just Two Weeks

by snackface January 19, 2012 Uncategorized

Hi!!! I know no one missed me, but it feels strange to be absent during the week. I, like you, have been going crazy with work, working out, trying to take care of biznass, etc. I keep running out of time! There’s honestly nothing too exciting from my 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. to share, [...]

NYC: The Food

by snackface January 18, 2012 Uncategorized

While my first full 24 hours in NYC were dedicated to dancing and celebrating, my second (and sadly last) day in NYC was about the food. OK, and more shopping and bluffin’ with my Muffin and her hilarious and generous mama (who was also visiting). Saturday morning, after a late night of dancing, we awoke, [...]

Y.O.L.O.

by snackface January 16, 2012 Uncategorized

“You only live once: that’s the motto [DIVAS], YOLO; And we ’bout it every day, every day, every day…” These infectious lyrics by the one and only Drake epitomize my weekend. Imagine being around your absolute best friends but only having two days. After those two days, it’s back to separate cities, drastically less laughter [...]

Want Some LOVE?

by snackface January 12, 2012 Uncategorized

Hi, boos! Currently, I’m feeling a little tired. I might be losing my mind a little bit. I missed lunch on Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday, all I could scrounge up was a piece of bread, a cheese stick and honey mustard. So I had a CHEESE STICK SANDWICH. That’s right. My foodie has left [...]
