Whatever that little blip in the weather was yesterday, it was sure gone today. I woke up, and it was a beautiful sunny day. And since morning is the only time of day I see direct sunlight at my front door, I figured I should take my breakfast out there, at least to take a couple photos.
Check out how awesome my baked French toast looks bathed in sunshine (and a little maple syrup).
A side of well-lit bacon (with ketchup)
And all that sunshine deserves a little party – Mango Peach Party!
Now, I’m sure you are thinking, if it was a lovely sunny day, you must have biked to work. Well…not so much. See, I generally only wash my hair every other day (it’s better for your hair, and I can save on hair products!), and today was a hair washing day. I didn’t want to have helmet head when I got to work, since I have my new ‘do now, so my vanity won out, and I drove. In my defence though, I also had to run some errands after work, and I have skating boot camp tonight, so I think it was justified. I’m planning on biking tomorrow. I promise!
I got some crappy news at work today – I might be losing my office. Boo-urns. I know I’m only there for like, 2 1/2 months (not even!), but still, I like my office. I think if I do lose the office, I can at least wrangle a sweet desk, because I’ll play the seniority card. Hey, you gotta do it sometimes!
Lunch was a bit ridiculous – I believe this is what one would call volume eating?
It looks like alot, but when you think about it, it’s not really that much. I brought the fixings for a salad: red leaf/romaine lettuce, strawberries, walnuts, raspberry vinaigrette, and some unpictured goat cheese (I had left it at work yesterday). As you can see, I also brought some cottage cheese & black pepper, about 1 cup of plain popcorn (crunch!), carrot, cucumber, and a wee slice of caramel apple bread.
How vibrant are these fruit & veggies?!
And a gratuitous caramel apple bread picture, just because
Quite a lunch, eh?
Well, I have to get ready to head out the door again, so I shall leave it at that. Have a great evening everyone

gah! i should have made your bread today and i totally forgot! next time…i promise!!!
YUM!! Seriously amazing light!!
Beautiful pics! It’s amazing what a little sunshine can do!
My hair gets washed every other day, too! I can totally relate to your reasoning for driving to work instead of biking!
Breakie and lunch look great!
That breakfast and volume eating get the two thumbs up!! Pull that seniority! Assert yourself
I just ate breakfast, but looking at that bacon just made me hungry again
