The Food Fairy Visited Me!

Hey Amigas!  I loved reading all your 'you know you're a blogger when' stories!  I'm hoping your day was great and if not, it's less than 2 days till the weekend begins, so let's fake it till we make it!

My day?  Meh.  My night?!  Amazing! Let's rewind.  I ate lunch in 5 minutes flat between conference calls.  After I ate all my veggies, I created this treat from the food at work to get some protein and more energy in:
  • Whole grain waffle, strawberry yogurt, sprinkle of granola and almonds.  So good. soooo good!
After work I went to the gym and made a deal with myself that if I didn't want to stay longer than 20 minutes, I could leave.  I didn't and stayed for an hour.  I even got back into what is hopefully my new consistent lifting schedule.
I came home and had this for dinner:
  • My favorite thins with a laughing cow wedge and wild smoked salmon, sugar snap peas, and tomato and basil hummus dip
I also had an apple pie (pie warmed in the micro for 90 seconds with a dollop of Greek yogurt and cinnamon scooped up with a little almond butter):
And this slipped in too:
  • Treat of the day- 2 mini brownie sandwich with almond butter.  I almost died of happiness.
It was the best thing that happened today, until I opened my mail!  I got two packages.  First, the Chia Fairy visited me from chiaseedsdirect.com:
Thank you Don!  If you haven't entered my giveaway yet, do it now!

Next, this girl who just posted about how she sometimes dresses like a Fairy sent me this adorable birthday gift.  I was floored by the kind gesture.  Thank you sooooooo much Katie!  I love it all!
First, it was in this cute bag:
Then it had so much amazing goodness in it:
  • Strawberry banana gum, cacao powder to sample, mini robin eggs, Archer Farms Chocolate Peanut Banana mix, a yummy Luna bar, a fabulous Mojo bar, and a cookie book!  
I opened the card first (I have some manners, ya know!) and it is the cutest thing ever:

If I don't post in a while, it's because I'm passed out in my kitchen from eating all the trailmix, bars, eggs, and baking cookies! Thank again luv!

P.S. Rose from On A Lobster Placemat was kind enough to humor me and post my interview on her adorable and artsy blog.  Check it out!

Mari is having a Pop Chips giveaway!

I hope you have a great day/night!  I'm in such a great mood despite having so much homework and work work.  A little positivity goes a long way, so try to find some in your life!

What made you happy today? My blog and my blog amigas made me happy!

WOW, good job at the gym! I always make deals with myself too. If I can get to 20, I can stop, then when I'm at 15 minutes, if I get to 25..I can stop lol. What made me happy today? Kirstie Alley making out on a TV screen on Oprah and hitting the -50 pound mark.
