I woke up on Labor Day morning with crazy thoughts like "Oooh I get to stay in bed and watch trash tv like Maury and find out which 15 dudes are not the father. Yay for holidays!" But when I turned on the tv, MTV's Teen Mom was on. I immediately got sucked in. WHY! This crap is so awesomely bad. I watched nearly an entire episode before I realized I needed to hurry up and eat breakfast so I could go to the gym.
I made my favorite breakfast combo: pb&j with banana on toast.
Crazy Richard's 100% Natural Chunky PB + Earthfare Blueberry Conserves + Banana on an Arnold Whole Wheat Sandwich Thin. I enjoyed this with a wine glass of skim milk. FYI, that's my computer cord, not a rat tail.
I stupidly brought this breakfast back to bed and got sucked into the rest of Teen Mom. Thankfully, something stupid(er) was on next, so I got dressed and finally left. On my way to the gym, I noticed Chick-fil-A was open. I practically had a dance party in my car all the way up to the drive thru window and then realized, um, I just ate. I picked up a large diet lemonade anyway bc I need to hydrate at the gym, right? No joke, this was my set up at the gym:
I was that girl at the gym - you know, the one that sits on a bike and pretends to exercise while reading a magazine and drinking a fruity beverage? Uhhhh. At least I stepped it up a bit with Food Network and Chick-fil-A. Now that I think about it, I wonder what people thought as I was prancing around the gym with a 22.5 oz lemonade. Probably really bad things like "lush" and "fast-foodie" rather than "hot stuff" and "baby muscles." Oh well. I pedaled through the whole magazine - 9.98 miles / 32 minutes - and then worked on my arms and back.
After the gym I ate one of these:
and got sucked into MORE TEEN MOM! What is my problem!? I need to not bring food to any room with a tv in it! Finally I got ready to go hunt down some Labor Day deals.
First stop was Bath & Body Works. I got 6 lotions (Buy 3, get 3 free!) and a car air freshener bc Santo said my car smells like cream cheese :(. Their newest scent, Dark Kiss, is "a tempting blend of black raspberry, mirabelle plum, amber, dark vanilla bean, and sensual basalm." I bought 3 bottles in hopes that boys will want to kiss me in the dark.
At Victoria's Secret I got underwear, brown eyeliner, and lip gloss to assist with the aforementioned situation. Glossy lips + tempting lotion = probably a successful next weekend. Oh my gosh, what is this post turning into...
Next, I stopped by Target, my favorite place to spend money. Somehow I ended up with only two items that I really needed.
A toothbrush and a fashion magazine. There was a really good pasta recipe in it and Zac Efron just happened to be on the cover.
My final stop was Great Harvest for some Honeyville cinnamon whipped honey. This stuff is ridiculously good.
Somehow, even after paying only $6.99 for my honey, I left Great Harvest with all these goodies. Irish potato bread, two chocolate chip pumpkin muffins, an apple cinnamon roll, a Savannah bar, and four cookies.
It pays to be a recognized food blogger/nice person who enters 5 minutes before closing. Yipee!
Later on I went grocery shopping and when I got home I realized I like a lot of bad-breath inducing foods.
I keep it classy on counter tops with Sabra garlic hummus, bread & butter pickles, sliced jalapenos, and Garlic Expressions vinaigrette. My roommate, Boding, told me "Real love is loving your girlfriend no matter how stank her breath is."
He also showed me how to keep it classy after eating too much garlic:
Apples help remove plaque, Scope rinses it out, and gum is gum.
Thankfully, after my shopping adventures, I also have ways to keep my body smelling lovely too: lotion, air freshener and potpourri.
My butt started to hurt from sitting on the counter, so I accepted an invite to the movies bc the cushiony seats sounded nice. We saw The Takers.
Chris Brown and T.I. are all I really have to say about that movie. Before it started, my friend said "Are you going to blog this large popcorn and Coke Zero? Say something like 'During a recession, the economical way to go on a date is to not eat beforehand and then order a large popcorn for dinner.'" He keeps it classy too I guess.
After the movie I went home to Boding and my pickles. Excuse his foot. He's not a profesh photog.
Later gators!
