Wednesday Morning Funny

I usually get up in the mornings around 6:00 am, then hit the snooze button for 20 minutes for Jonas to wake up around 6:20. When I get up, I usually feed Stella, fix my cereal, and sit down to watch the news for about 20 minutes before I start getting ready for work. While I was watching tv, I notice the time is 6:25 and Jonas hadn't gotten up yet. So I tell Stella to go get him, and she runs to the back, but the door was shut so she didn't go in the bedroom. At 6:30 when he is still not up, I go back to the bedroom to wake him up - and he is still snoozing while the radio-alarm is playing. I tell him hurry up! It's 6:30, you are already 10 minutes late......

So he rolls out of bed and throws on some clothes to take Stella for their morning walk. He tells me he'll be back soon and I hear him walk out of the door. So I head to the kitchen to grab a glass of water, and he walks back in the door holding the kitchen scissors.

So I ask him, "what were those doing outside?" because I assumed he found them outside and was bringing them back in.

He responds, "I grabbed the scissors instead of the leash to take Stella on a walk...." and sets them on the counter next to the leash, grabs the leash, and walks out the door.

Ok, so maybe it's not that funny, but I could not stop laughing this morning. It usually does not take much at all to amuse me. At least it started my day off with a laugh. :)

Day 8 of 14 Day Food Challenge + Jonas' Birthday Celebration

Starting week 2! Can't believe it's Sunday already. Where did Saturday go? Guess I was just busy then tired all day.

Well, changed up breakfast! Jonas cooked eggs with leftover grilled chicken. We added cheese and salsa and made a burrito. Here is mine before I wrapped it up.

2 eggs, 70 calories; chicken, 120 calories; 2 tablespoons of salsa, 10 calories; 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese, 110 calories; 1 burrito, 150 calories. Glass of skim milk - 80 calories

Total: 610

I then decided I needed more hostas in my new gardening area, so went to Lowe's and got 4 more small ones and planted them in the blazing 12:30 pm heat. Then came in and had a Lean Cuisine Margherita Chicken Pizza. 340 Calories. Probably burned about 185 calories while gardening (according to Myplate.com)

While I was outside working in the yard, my neighbor came by and insisted I cool off in her pool when I was finished, and I certainly took her up on that offer! According to myplate.com, that was about 200 calories.

Jonas' birthday is on June 15th, and since that is a Tuesday this year and he will be in class until 9:30 or so, we had a family birthday shrimp boil! I forgot to take a picture of the before, but here is a picture of the leftovers....

 I probably had close to 3/4 of a pound of shrimp (about 336 calories), 1 ear of corn (about 115 calories), 1 red potato with butter (200 calories), and a piece of this delicious cookie cake (about 580 calories)!

 

Oh yeah, and I had 3 Budweisers in a can, @ 145 calories EACH....435 in beer. 

Total for Shrimp boil - 1,666.

Here is Jonas and one of his new grilling tools!

Breakfast - 610

Lunch -155

Swim - (-200)

Shrimp Boil - 1,666

Tally for the day - 2,231

A lot higher than I would like, however, if I weren't counting calories, I probably would have had more cookie cake and another beer or two. Granted, I did not come home feeling like a beached whale so all is good!
