Thanks a Million!

I just wanted to pop in quick and send a huge thank you towards anyone that read and commented on my last post! This week has been a whirlwind so far and I think everyone is 100% right--with tons of planning and patience, I will adjust to my new schedule. So, I was negligent again in taking pictures for WIAW...and believe me, I'm really upset about it--second week in a row that I'm missing it :( This is what I'm going to do, I'm linking you all to Jenn's page Peas and Crayons so you can still see some great eats (even if they're not mine!)

While your all here...I need some help! What are great foods to pack for a long commute? I need breakfast, snacks, and lunch! Any good pack-and-go products out there? I am looking for food/meals to create that require little/no prep time! Also, there is a major need for fullness because I have been a hungry beast lately! Thanks again for the other day, I hope everyone gets over the hump that is hump day! I'm gonna slap a smile on my face and make today an good excellent day! Hey, you see that sun?? *happy dance*

CODE RED: Cassie's Gonna Cook!

Thank you to every one of you who responded to my post yesterday! I received genuine, heart-felt responses and I love you guys more than ever...you know what else I love? New friends. Blogging has seriously brought so many new and great people into my life who inspire, motivate and educate me daily (image how much I'll change in a year if all this is happening on a daily basis?!?!). I can't wait to inform everyone about my decision...once I make it that is. I may be one of the most indecisive people you will ever encounter. I hate it and I blame my Mother (sorry Mom :)
On a less sappy note, I got some cool new stuff! First up, my new red leather Lucky cross-body bag. This little baby was on sale at Marshalls and I had to swipe it up. Don't you ever just buy a pick-me-up present when you're feeling down or confused? Oops, is that just me? Should I throw in the "sorry I'm not sorry thing?" Nah? Oh well, too late! The other goody on display is my new Nook Color that my Aunt bought me for my college graduation! (Thanks Aunt Lisa!). I can go on the web, check my email, play Angry Birds, read Women's Health Magazine (which I already downloaded) and books too! O-B-S-E-S-S-E-D!

 

After a sweaty gym session (hooh-rah!) and a bunch of calls and work, I'm off to make some lunch, do some more work and then duh, duh, duh, dunnnnnnn...making Feeding Brain and Body's Egguffins! Check out this recipe, I dare you not to copy-cat and make them for dinner too! I'm not really a domestic so I hope I don't blow up the house tonight. I can't even begin to describe to you the lack of culinary talent in my household-- we didn't even have a muffin pan or measuring devices (except for old reliable aka my measuring cup!) I booked it to Whole Foods and stocked up! Wish me luck!
