11/15: Thursday Thoughts

by Ashley on November 15, 2012

1. The best part of my day yesterday was coming home after a long day, putting my feet up, and feeling the baby dance away in there. Coolest thing ever!

2. I realized that I’ve had a Thanksgiving meal four times already, and it’s not even Thanksgiving yet… 1) Friendsgiving; 2) Friendsgiving leftovers #1; 3) Work Thanksgiving on Monday; 4) Friendsgiving leftovers #2. Good thing I love it all!

3. AMEN SISTER!

4. We had this for dinner last night. (Thanks for the recommendation Lindsay!) I substituted plain Greek yogurt for the sour cream and added a can of black beans to it, and we ate it over brown rice. Protein packed and delicious! So good, so easy, just do it!

5. Um, yes.

6. Can you believe one week from today is Thanksgiving?! YESSSS!

7. Coffee + cocoa powder + NuNaturals Stevia packet + milk = hot cocoa coffee. My new favorite thing. [Decaf coffee for me thankyouverymuch.]

8. It’s that time again… We need a new show on Netflix. Any ideas?

9. I am thrilled to have no plans on the agenda for this weekend. I plan to sleep, clean, spend time with Cody and the pups, and SLEEP. Did I mention sleep?!

10. Today is Thursday which means tomorrow is FRIDAY! Yippee! Have a great day!

Questions:

  • What was the best part of your day yesterday?
  • Do you love to eat? Would you consider yourself a “foodie”?
  • What are your weekend plans?

I would definitely consider myself a foodie! I love trying new foods and exploring new restaurants. I’ve been hearing great things about the new show The Newsroom. I haven’t seen it yet, but everyone says it’s great!

I would definitely consider myself a foodie (now!) — but if you asked me even 6 months ago, I would have laughed and say “Never will I ever”. I’ve found a new appreciation for it — the tastes, textures, and the company surrounding it and the fun of making it.
I can’t believe I spent so many years denying myself the pleasure!!
Have you and Cody watched Dead Like Me? I’m definitely a fan. Not sure if it’s available on Netflicks though.

I love watching Dead Like Me but unfortunately my husband is not a fan.

The best part about yesterday was def hanging with the kids at the mentor session. I can be so run down at 530 pm but they give me energy to power through

I LOVE to eat!!! I have never understood those people who say they get so busy they “forget” to eat. No matter how busy I am, my stomach constantly reminds me, lol!!

Have you watched “Revenge” yet? It is my favorite show and I ended up watching all of last season in a weekend on Netflix.

I love adding hot cocoa packets to my coffee for a little boost! And nothing wrong with T-giving leftovers all the time. I wish I could eat those daily :)

I love to eat, and though I’m not sure how I feel about the term “foodie” that probably describes me considering how excited I get about food :)
This weekend I have all of Saturday to relax and do whatever I want (the best.) and Sunday my husband and I are going to our first Thanksgiving Dinner of the season (we have 3 total!). I’m excited!

Yay for the weekend!!! And I can’t believe thanksgiving is in a week, I don’t think I’ll wrap my mind around it until this weekend when I’m preparing to go HOME!

I have been craving hot chocolate like crazy all week! I’ve never thought to add it to my coffee though!

YES to food and being a foodie!

Y’all should watch the show Prison Break! We loved it.

We are having Thanksgiving lunch at work today, and I am very excited!

Parenthood is good! I also like 24, lost, and breaking bad!

Thanksgiving in one week means I get to decorate for Christmas in one week and one day!!!

20 Molly @ Just Your Average Athlete November 15, 2012 at 9:53 am

I’m not sure what you’ve seen already but I would recommend Dexter, Lost or Glee (my new obsession!) And I’m so pumped for Thanksgiving in one week, too! Hope you have a great holiday :)

I definitely love to eat. I’m not sure if I’d consider myself a real foodie, though, because dealing with a finicky stomach means there are a lot of things I have to avoid eating. But when it comes to dessert… I don’t think there’s anything I don’t love.

Can’t believe Turkey Day is next week already! eek! Love finding new shows to watch on Netflix. We’re currently on season 2 of the Walking Dead and on season 5? of the X-Files. Once Season 2 of the walking Dead is done, we’ll watch Season 2 of the Killing and then after that Season 2 of Hell On Wheels. We don’t have too much time to watch TV so we usually just do one show at a time.

23 Annette@Fitness Perks November 15, 2012 at 10:25 am

I’m telling ya-watch ONCE Upon a Time on Netflix. You can thank me later.

YAY for baby moving!! :)

We usually have a friend’s Thanksgiving too…but this year it didn’t work out, bummer! Hopefully next year. Congrats on your baby, I can’t wait to feel my bestie’s baby start kicking too!

The League! It’s hilarious! It’s about a fantasy football league. The cast is great. And it’s just an all around funny show!

Ummm, my weekend plans better include having a baby hahaha. I keep saying today that I wonder if the baby will fall in the 5% that are actually born on their due date (ie: tomorrow). It’s a small chance, but maybe this baby likes to go with the stats haha

I fully agree with that sign! Love people who love to eat ;)

Oh, I definitely love to eat! I’m not sure what qualifies one as a foodie, but I love to try new foods!

The best part of my day was finding out we are having a little BOY! So excited :)

Aww, I love that Julia Child quote! She speaks truth!

I can’t believe Thanksgiving is less than a week away. This year has flown by! Then again, I say that every year. But I feel like they keep getting faster and faster!

The coffee + cocoa powder combo is amazing! I discovered it at a coffee shop a few years ago, and at the time proclaimed that it was better than hot chocolate. Now I’m not so sure…maybe equally as amazing?

Happy Friday! <3
