 1.It’s the last week of the month on Totes Awesome Channel, so it’s free topic week! Youtube Link I talk about reaching 16 states and how I decided to step it up in 2013 and see 4 new states instead of 2. I also have my eyes set on Paris for Kim’s 30th birthday in 2013. (How am I’m going to finance all of this?) Also, less than three weeks til I see the other ladies in Vegas! 2.I had Monday off because of the road trip with Treavor. You’d think a four day work week would be easy peasy but I had a very tough week. Probably made worse with hardly any sleep. I’m so glad it’s the weekend and I can use the time to get my bearings. 3.I watched Mark Bittman’s “Whats Wrong with What We Eat” last week. One thing that struck me in this talk was how the recommended weekly intake of meat is half a pound. Um, Alan and I can easily put away half a pound a day! Each! Alan is really attached his meat but I’m going to start researching recipes where I can fool us into thinking we’re eating a lot of meat when we’re not. For instance meat sauces with more vegetables and less meat.) Also, I’m going to try to double our vegetables. I usually just have at least one vegetable side but I’m going to attempt to include a side salad on top of that. 4.I read a lot and I watch a lot of movies. A lot. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother with the reading and the watching movies because seriously within 6 months of reading something, I forget a lot of what I’ve read or seen. Sometimes I only remember irrelevant scenes. There’s this movie I cannot remember the name of that I saw as a child. I think Jean-claude Van Damme is in it. The scene takes places in a club and this huge Russian bouncer comes out and summons girls at the night club with his hand and says in his accent, “Bitches, come!” That’s ALL I remember of this movie. What. The. Hell. 5.So this happens all the time. I’ll be simultaneously having a silly conversation offline and a serious conversation online. And then before I know it, I’m typing out “lol” inappropriately because I’m literally laughing out loud. Does this happen to you? 6.Coming up with 7 Quick Takes every week is hard. 7.This week’s moments of bliss: ♥ food trailer date with Brittany ♥ puppy cuddles ♥ emails with the original TAC girls ♥ road trip / crossing off a new state ♥ learning about Bill Clinton at his presidential library ♥ catch up phone calls ♥ checking out a new taco joint aptly dubbed Taco Joint with coworkers ♥ climbed a mountain! ♥ fancy bagel with fancy smear ♥ people watching at a cute coffee shop with Treavor in Arkansas ♥ Nutella ♥ Korean hard candy that taste like Honey Nut Cheerios ♥ salt and pepper squid with Nam Question: How much meat do you eat in a week? |
