Time got away from me this evening. I just don’t know where it went!
I think it has to do with the fact I left work a little later then usual. I spent the majority of the day calling hotels for proposals for my work’s annual user group and before I knew it, it was 5:30! I think the event planning aspect of my job is my favorite part and any day I focus on that is much more exciting then any other. 🙂
While making the calls I snacked on a single serving of Trader Joe’s Trail Mix.
When I made it home I attempted to clean my apartment, but was distracted by my overflowing google reader that is desperately needing to be read! I swear I could get lost in that google reader for hours!
When it came time for dinner I decided to take advantage of the Mozzarella, Basil and Tomato I had picked up yesterday.
I made a simple Caprese salad by mixing the combo with a light coating of EVOO and balsamic vinegar then adding it to a bed of spinach. the combo was amazingly refreshing and the perfect summer combo.
On the side I had more sweet Cherries.
And 1/2 of a butterflied chicken breast that I grilled on the george foreman and topped with some mango dressing.
I found it amusing the chicken was a side dish to my caprese salad and not the star of the meal.
For dessert I finally had a chance to try Jenna’s Lavendar Blondie I had grabbed at her garage sale a couple of weeks ago and a piece of chocolate my bro had brought me back from Europe.
The Lavender blondie was amazing! The lavender flavor was very unique and brought a whole other element to the blondie.
Good job Jenna!
I have a few special topics I want to blog about, but they will have to wait until tomorrow. I am exhausted and am in need of some serious pillow time.
Good Night Everyone!!
