I am still reading your blogs and enjoying all of you journey's, mine has just taken a turn. <br /><br />I am in school now and working at a tea and sandwich shop, so my days are full <strong>everyday</strong>! I found the blog to be more of a chore for me and that is not at all what I think it should be! I always enjoy taking pictures of my food, trying new creative healthy meals, reading your comments and posting. But the stress of posting is sadly too much for me to handle at this juncture in my life. I plan to blog again when I am more settled in my new routine. I am still eating as balanced and healthy as I can and making my trips to the gym. But for me the most important thing is my relationships and the blog was keeping me from precious free time to spend with my bf, friends and family. <br /><br />I will for sure get this all balanced as well as my eating and get back in the blogging saddle again!!!!! Because I miss YOU all so much!!!! Most of all I miss the readers, you all hold a dear place in my heart and there is a hole there now! So my vaycay (if you will) from this blog is temporary.<br /><br />I hope you will understand and support my decision. I miss you and will never forget my first blog!!!!!<br />Love and hugs<br />CassandraCassandrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07377819293392368808noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2163966040488403891.post-20876768642896616232009-02-19T20:45:00.000-08:002009-02-19T21:27:43.680-08:00The wonders of the worldHello Bloggers!!!<br />The wonders of the world I would love to <em>see </em>are the Pyramids, but the wonders of the world I am facing every day are not as extravagant. Like school and food service and relationships. I think that I am in a very fragile state with changing careers and so don't mind me if I talk about my struggles with leaving the Film Industry to become a college student. It is not all set in stone yet but my mind is pretty made up.<br /><br />I am in a mood I can not quite describe, I had a headache most of the afternoon and was not feeling tip top so I lied down with Bravo and caught up on some silly TV shows. Once Sean got home I was in a much better mood and am now feeling well enough to look at the computer screen. I think it was all the reading I did for my Psych class. I am not used to looking at a text book and never really read much of them in my high school days ( I was too interested in boys, art and parties). But now in my young adulthood I am finding it still just as challenging so I am a bit upset. I have no prob doing homework or listening to lectures but I know the reading will kill me. <strong><em>Any tips? Anybody more left brained with some study tips???</em></strong> My sister gave me great advice (very left brained) and told me to type my notes and go to the library after class to do the reading when I am in study mode and I think I will try that! <br /><br />Anyways... my mind is a bit mushy now so I will move on to my eats!<br />Bfast; Small orange, cereal with Almond Milk and raisins:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDzjiAtyQVVpFbiakKq96oLGu9842cnedGF8Sp3zmu49ghq9QV3XVBQ5094t5x6fLl0BRCo7hgEu9FB-rz03D8Yu97kZYilK86nO7GvuQvXFlRuDkCVe_s45TIgXG8WmL3UpSpaEuYiBib/s1600-h/blog+001.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304737253373381474" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDzjiAtyQVVpFbiakKq96oLGu9842cnedGF8Sp3zmu49ghq9QV3XVBQ5094t5x6fLl0BRCo7hgEu9FB-rz03D8Yu97kZYilK86nO7GvuQvXFlRuDkCVe_s45TIgXG8WmL3UpSpaEuYiBib/s320/blog+001.JPG" border="0" /></a> Delish!

I am so excited about my class!! My proff is awesome and very kind. I was worried cause I have a wedding to go to on June 12th, our finals are June 10th and Sean might have to leave before then cause he is in the wedding (the best man to be exact, it's his cousins wedding). So after class I introduced myself to my new proff (very Rory Gilmore of me) and told him of the possible dilemma. He was shockingly understanding and told me to have no fear I can just take it early if need be. So with that all assured and my first day out of the way I was <em>flying! </em><br /><em></em><br />I started my school day <em>(I just love saying that) </em>with a smaller than usual bowl of cereal. I am out of bananas <em>shock I know</em> and so I opted for a small orange and raisins and felt like going a bit light on the grains too. I had 1/2 cup twigs and flakes and 1/2 cup Kashi Sunshine and 1 cup skim. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX9me2NMqX8dJNNA27rdn3k8sYOwOQ5LAOtQvERgM8_gpUuyo0euKlZVfDsyBCMnxG8sxrW9KXr6oq47VmJ7azkjjjhgaW60uh-VL1JDbBnzLqBCAcn7eYgLw_-w9TUMtJrkJ6ExARZ-Em/s1600-h/blog+001.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304364655142720626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX9me2NMqX8dJNNA27rdn3k8sYOwOQ5LAOtQvERgM8_gpUuyo0euKlZVfDsyBCMnxG8sxrW9KXr6oq47VmJ7azkjjjhgaW60uh-VL1JDbBnzLqBCAcn7eYgLw_-w9TUMtJrkJ6ExARZ-Em/s320/blog+001.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />After my lovely class with lecture included I was hungry hungry!

I am not planning on taking the weekends off of blogging, I have just had a rough time with my computer due to the Internet/ cable problem. I have got it kinda fixed, we need a new splitter and that has not been purchased yet. So until it is I have to have Sean connect or disconnect the Internet or cable to go on the net. AHHHH!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>So I am finally posting due to all the technical difficulties and not to mention I was SICK all weekend! I am pretty sure I caught the bug going round at my work, but on top of the flue like symptoms I was feeling I also get "sick" when I am super stressed out. So my weekend was pretty uneventful even though I had the glorious Monday off, I spent it on the couch and under a converter (rock) if you will. So let me rewind to Saturday (Valentine's Day) Lunch: Leftover Pasta with kale and a side salad<br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304008751965168962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEM3NWZaJZeNJNuTSXwpn3U9x21AyG__OGGrnNJ0ofGDUegMUBGbvgPBeTEw1vGl8ePP3Zc5BubCEvs2WLF9ETeO0bNvhMlkWk0HKN2-xVMtpeF-PqfCtyP6KJ9XW9Yy1Vi9qIUISuOZpf/s320/blog+001.JPG" border="0" /> <div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYuoHUewSEEdGDRY6tC8hX80yhEOYAwyH6zlvI1yCTJi6jl1bE38iO7ImxVWHx5mvi3ywwLkXMISRaWl8JvIdqEkV8-nO2iFlEbBkESugom_BePzQC0M4goHD5GTlvPLC3sMenhrZkRnBr/s1600-h/blog+002.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304006393357440290" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYuoHUewSEEdGDRY6tC8hX80yhEOYAwyH6zlvI1yCTJi6jl1bE38iO7ImxVWHx5mvi3ywwLkXMISRaWl8JvIdqEkV8-nO2iFlEbBkESugom_BePzQC0M4goHD5GTlvPLC3sMenhrZkRnBr/s320/blog+002.JPG" border="0" /></a> For Valentine's Dinner we had a whole special night planned.....but due to my sickness and "sickness" I was not really feeling up to having a 5 course meal and spending over $100 on dinner. So we cancelled our reservations and went to Whole Foods to do a more low key and less expensive dinner. We started with Vino: For this we kinda splurged; we never buy wine over $5.00 so for this special occasion we spent twice that!<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiULpj0etXLOGqjH-FbP7Y3zDUvngphjsGxX_wOS6ZZgoM0qgEnhmX6Cf__hzXosX5iENAHi_Bs_BxpBrcIQA6x56us9d9ry3ZM9oVnJGcCZvZ6edRqus3Z8suS_XJ_TU1zSYEOclUk9i8z/s1600-h/blog+003.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304006386998232338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiULpj0etXLOGqjH-FbP7Y3zDUvngphjsGxX_wOS6ZZgoM0qgEnhmX6Cf__hzXosX5iENAHi_Bs_BxpBrcIQA6x56us9d9ry3ZM9oVnJGcCZvZ6edRqus3Z8suS_XJ_TU1zSYEOclUk9i8z/s320/blog+003.JPG" border="0" /></a> the wine was VERY good and I love a Petite Sirah!

It was a Vegan Potato Leek Soup (my fave soup ever) and the Urth Salad with mixed greens, garbanzo beans, pine nuts, feta, tomato, heats of palm, and olives with the dressing on the side of course. I always ask for dressing on the side, I know some restaurants tip their noses to me for requesting this but hey it's my body and my calorie intake man, so lay off!!! The soup came with a nice hunk of crusty white bread, but I steered clear and had but a nibble.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0K_89wMQU0STKUylBiIpHDpQYuQmma8HnC4MYu7AdXg6ETJu9WRdLS94qrWt5e-Vf4KX_Aua-n5h4qbog9mfMi8r6E57eVcKYj_2jaAepvMmQAHeyGohHa3SExSZ_ywtD-7OtGP62fEte/s1600-h/blog+048.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304001051770845522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0K_89wMQU0STKUylBiIpHDpQYuQmma8HnC4MYu7AdXg6ETJu9WRdLS94qrWt5e-Vf4KX_Aua-n5h4qbog9mfMi8r6E57eVcKYj_2jaAepvMmQAHeyGohHa3SExSZ_ywtD-7OtGP62fEte/s320/blog+048.JPG" border="0" /></a> <div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK3xvtuy7O4uWqRlgMnruldMqhw_jXDNonEbvlXgMlP3LXfEwFJ3NoXSawCwuU0luCgVpYq9BvY4P_zQqj1LFSzjIlnMpj24OkY-axb61XnPIXbbpmAQdugyewWLq7esUx4WYiLfjfEmEq/s1600-h/blog+049.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304001047389787858" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK3xvtuy7O4uWqRlgMnruldMqhw_jXDNonEbvlXgMlP3LXfEwFJ3NoXSawCwuU0luCgVpYq9BvY4P_zQqj1LFSzjIlnMpj24OkY-axb61XnPIXbbpmAQdugyewWLq7esUx4WYiLfjfEmEq/s320/blog+049.JPG" border="0" /></a> well I am sorry for the delay in my posts and will try to make one in a day like before!

I am doing a recap of yesterday because my new TV was being funky so we had the cable shut down for while to get it fixed and I could not get on the Internet. So yesterday's eats started with a Japanese Bfast of Miso soup and Brown rice:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi94r4mrYikxXnPhI3Jx5YekviLWhXlHNVMGMFrgbB60RNBszCNrux8NaS51jG5tcps6lS9kNrnvIDBTdSnWrkgk6vJZxeyvYLkMNpGLtih9-9QrZBCKA8d7R7Q3Iuoazl7breYIkmOLXKt/s1600-h/blog+001.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302814462326233682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi94r4mrYikxXnPhI3Jx5YekviLWhXlHNVMGMFrgbB60RNBszCNrux8NaS51jG5tcps6lS9kNrnvIDBTdSnWrkgk6vJZxeyvYLkMNpGLtih9-9QrZBCKA8d7R7Q3Iuoazl7breYIkmOLXKt/s400/blog+001.JPG" border="0" /></a> I loved it!

A way to switch up my oatmeal routine and try something new.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRIYQpulrerQgTVuFPgYwj61xmsKoQK1XIgu58OXefY5UD0Kgz7ASjtfm6BYnHS-DtHfQ7EoCCk93yN-CANydwITRoY8iRtUOxvEsp_oCSozebesLUa18FQ4DMy29aZl54c7_GB0sETQn7/s1600-h/blog+004.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302814459319227138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRIYQpulrerQgTVuFPgYwj61xmsKoQK1XIgu58OXefY5UD0Kgz7ASjtfm6BYnHS-DtHfQ7EoCCk93yN-CANydwITRoY8iRtUOxvEsp_oCSozebesLUa18FQ4DMy29aZl54c7_GB0sETQn7/s400/blog+004.JPG" border="0" /></a> I found that it didn't hold me that long. I think it was more mental than a physical hunger. Eating rice for bfast just didn't feel like bfast so I snacked around 9:30 on a balance bar (no pic)</div><div>For lunch I brought my new fave thing to grill; an Almond butter sandwich!!!

They have finagled me into getting an HD box with no HDMI input!!! I don't really get the whole dilemma all I know is with my new HD TV I needed a new HD box, so I drove to TWC to get the new box and when I set it up at home it was not working! So Sean called TWC and they said that the HDMI cable did not come with the box <em>so</em> we need to BUY one and then it <em>should</em> work. So Sean brought the cable home tonight and the when we looked at the box I picked up <em>doesn't have</em> a hook up for an HDMI cable~ ANYWAYS~ besides the point sorry to vent I am just livid. GRRRR.... but lets move on to the <em>good stuff</em>!<br /><br />Bfast: Cereal with a small sliced banana and a shot of Craisins with a small orange on the side and hot water:<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg07HqWtLampFeasPkV1ItSumrqOh-VCm5BjQsEfvv1vdDleyMiAV9rc06mdQ5ViAGvUMQU_LQ3Pm3uSjuDZLgDycwMaqlMBu5CILznhdiASswfI97OPOc1RHCNmvOn6gcUTdpgBXO5jMOt/s1600-h/blog+001.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302120861685233954" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg07HqWtLampFeasPkV1ItSumrqOh-VCm5BjQsEfvv1vdDleyMiAV9rc06mdQ5ViAGvUMQU_LQ3Pm3uSjuDZLgDycwMaqlMBu5CILznhdiASswfI97OPOc1RHCNmvOn6gcUTdpgBXO5jMOt/s400/blog+001.JPG" border="0" /></a> Lunch today was simple; an Almond Butter and jelly sandwich on WW (I pressed it at work, I am obsessed) with a small apple and sugar free 90 calorie rice pudding:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJJiL9RvAuiZKNTfuQ2ZkpqS2wZXcTZhoovkSrwaqg996DWr40swMpzD0MAcTdW6jxhiBba9NOZ1UB0A-zlN3h5tYNKjHPVBBrRm4bH5yVQeKHH_J8rOcaXbtb71U6Bmws-YWbSZW24TC1/s1600-h/blog+003.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302120854142675314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJJiL9RvAuiZKNTfuQ2ZkpqS2wZXcTZhoovkSrwaqg996DWr40swMpzD0MAcTdW6jxhiBba9NOZ1UB0A-zlN3h5tYNKjHPVBBrRm4bH5yVQeKHH_J8rOcaXbtb71U6Bmws-YWbSZW24TC1/s400/blog+003.JPG" border="0" /></a> When I got home from work I saw Sean left his dinner leftovers out....at first I was mad cause I hate when he doesn't clean up after himself.

I'll just say this, no one cheated and no one moved we just had some figuring out to do and we are happy as clams now:) So we celebrated with going to Sushi! We tried a new place in our neighborhood; Beacon. It was a wonderful place! I love when an Asian fusion place serves up good sushi! We started with Edemame, of course!

Here it goes:<br /><br /><br />1.As a set decorator, which shoot was the most fun to work on?<br /><br /><em><strong>I would have to say they are all fun. The most known movie I worked on was Zombie Strippers. Yes you read right! I know it is not the most intelligent nor appropriate movie but it is always fun to do horror films and this one was one of my first gigs as a Set Dresser so I was in the mix a ton! Check it out if you have a strong stomach and are ok with nudity-hehe.</strong></em><br /><br />2. What is your favorite drink to make at the coffee shop you work at?<br /><em><strong></strong></em><br /><em><strong>I will answer this two ways. My favorite drink to drink myself is a small nonfat sugar free vanilla latte!!! But the most fun to make are the caramel vanilla frappe; which is milk, ice, a vanilla Caramel powder and Caramel all blended up topped with whipped cream and Caramel! Or the Boba drinks are fun too!</strong></em><br /><br />3. If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go?<br /><br /><em><strong>I would go to Japan first because I am half Japanese and am not very familiar with my own culture. Then Ireland, Sean's homeland and then the Greek Isles!!!</strong></em><br /><br />4.If you had unlimited cash, which store would you be most likely to blow the most money? <em><strong></strong></em><br /><em><strong></strong></em><br /><em><strong>Barney's, then Whole Foods then Ace 16 a camping and sports store!</strong></em><br /><br />5. What has been your biggest accomplishment in the last year? <br /><br /><strong><em>Recovery, and the decision to go back to school!</em></strong><br /><strong><em></em></strong><br />Thanks Mel for the fun questionnaire! I will pass this along!<br />CCassandrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07377819293392368808noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2163966040488403891.post-69016882352968515762009-02-10T18:29:00.001-08:002009-02-10T20:22:38.847-08:00When my computer gets the flu...Well yes sadly my computer obtained some viruses this weekend and I had to send it to my "geek squad" if you will to fix her up and get back to my blogging friends!!

I am loving it up too! I love curling up by the TV and watching Gilmore Girl re-runs with Ella and my slippers!!! But before I could do all that I had a full day to fulfill! <br />This morning I had a wonderful bfast that held me for ever it felt like! I had a WW Light Thomas English Muffin with a spoon of Almond Butter and a small banana sliced on top. On the side I had a small orange and a small apple:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinZot9pRmR8jtgxqUI7E3eXsHh0bU83saMvTINAu83VR0hs-PVce_LdRYephyphenhypheny0rl81-rs4VlWDl5bAT2mBbgQpgBTZs06jxM4shlb5Z3WHcblIcsnhGV4D3P80YgpBeKMw7-mIPOxjcmV/s1600-h/blog+001.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299884481707439202" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinZot9pRmR8jtgxqUI7E3eXsHh0bU83saMvTINAu83VR0hs-PVce_LdRYephyphenhypheny0rl81-rs4VlWDl5bAT2mBbgQpgBTZs06jxM4shlb5Z3WHcblIcsnhGV4D3P80YgpBeKMw7-mIPOxjcmV/s400/blog+001.JPG" border="0" /></a> Yummy yummy! For my mid morning snack I had 2 servings of Annie's Honey Bunnies and 14 raw almonds. This snack was a great change from my usual bar or similar type "fast" snack. I counted and bagged my little treats the night before and to my surprise they held me better than a bar ever does!<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9YWIcI4kx6rBGcRpV-o-ghGuuyQwMkZXoQdCn_JZ582sLPMBP-BIGi5FVnGEJ-VjZ0Sg9lSmnNcYNrjcICAHOnfPIpS4W_GQtbAxdeqREWurjZhcWOu5onorcjRVovmu0yNO6MAnasWs8/s1600-h/blog+002.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299884477420004018" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9YWIcI4kx6rBGcRpV-o-ghGuuyQwMkZXoQdCn_JZ582sLPMBP-BIGi5FVnGEJ-VjZ0Sg9lSmnNcYNrjcICAHOnfPIpS4W_GQtbAxdeqREWurjZhcWOu5onorcjRVovmu0yNO6MAnasWs8/s400/blog+002.JPG" border="0" /></a> For lunch I brought tofu, veggies and a beet:<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmGmMNOvxwEWJevHz4ef9r5OanEDmt3qN_axvqHe0uw6FChWMps9QtcL1niFUdTDRZ51dPr4AmH_cR7fDARXoobv7tkenTu5BF1cJziI_7BShk8f-nODOwaZCwbEoqULVm65bd-qOAS4um/s1600-h/blog+032.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299884477289517170" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmGmMNOvxwEWJevHz4ef9r5OanEDmt3qN_axvqHe0uw6FChWMps9QtcL1niFUdTDRZ51dPr4AmH_cR7fDARXoobv7tkenTu5BF1cJziI_7BShk8f-nODOwaZCwbEoqULVm65bd-qOAS4um/s400/blog+032.JPG" border="0" /></a>I was satisfied all day long!

I will start by saying I LOVE CHIMPS!!!! I had so much fun! We worked with a 3 year old girl chimp named Suzie and an 8 year old boy named Jake. Suzie was the most adorable and I only have pics of her to show you for now. The trainers were a "bit off", as animal wranglers usually are to us who do not spend their whole lives around animals, but very sweet to the animals. They were more strict with <em>us humans,</em> in ways to behave around the chimps. So I do not have a ton to photos, just a few. <br /><br />Second-Let's catch up with my eats from yesterday:<br />Breakies- Cereal and green tea<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii0kQAxd3yHo75pzxwFXOPnkRy-a9iaA6mjk4SAA3SpNRwDEtQMTHVHCy7AHT_dTIyxhR-MvkFfodSC50UhQ4nn76x6z9kgWP2lCgp2LnkkqN0rp1PbOyG-oU9C6wvXGudp1RGsSt622IB/s1600-h/blog+003.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299528086799284498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii0kQAxd3yHo75pzxwFXOPnkRy-a9iaA6mjk4SAA3SpNRwDEtQMTHVHCy7AHT_dTIyxhR-MvkFfodSC50UhQ4nn76x6z9kgWP2lCgp2LnkkqN0rp1PbOyG-oU9C6wvXGudp1RGsSt622IB/s400/blog+003.JPG" border="0" /></a>The usual cereal mix of 1.5 grains, 1.5 skim, shot of almonds, blueberries and a dash of cinnamon.

When I got home I wanted to try a new treat I bought; <strong>Skinny Cow Ice cream Sandwiches!!!!!! </strong>Omg these are the best!!! Only 140 Calories and 1.5 grams of fat! They are not the healthiest ingredients and not natural but very tasty for not a lot of guilt! And one every once and a while is not bad. <a href="http://www.skinnycow.com/myproducts/sandwiches.php?myflavor=vanilla_chocolate">http://www.skinnycow.com/myproducts/sandwiches.php?myflavor=vanilla_chocolate</a><br />My review: Sweet taste, soft texture, creamy, so much like the Ice Cream Truck type sandwich I would never know it was low fat!</div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299528089386004610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU4m26JBto6MxZ81TfzPRf7JZX2ZlBqQSkrQo1U5wPSrusL92exgLYk2WmPDaYAJxyFKLDMa34iiRJP-E9Rr-2wh2uT-wX_Ha1dGWYOIjKK79hbDU9Ac7y-Qu2axHqk_-4fxx2OWbc2Ixq/s400/blog+002.JPG" border="0" /></div><div>Okay, enough <em><strong>monkey-ing around</strong>, </em>lol.

The main reason I was so occupied is because Sean left this morning :( He is on location on a movie and I was trying to soak him up before he left. I also have been working a lot and needed my rest. But I am back to catch you all up on my weekend. I will be posting today's eats later but for now I have lots to share so get ready foodie brains!!!<br /><br />I will start with last night, Sean and I went out to dinner and a movie. I was not feeling well early Saturday and we were supposed to go to a Persian Feast with family friends, but I backed out due to my not feeling well. Later we realized we needed a date night before he left and I had a nap so felt better. We decided to try a new restaurant called <a href="http://.akasharestaurant.com/">.akasharestaurant.com/</a>. I would say it is a fusion type restaurant. A mix between American, Indian and Asian <em>I guess??</em> We started with the Seeded Bread and butter, I had a nibble not much:<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297861829205619906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0ZWxuMu3pCG7i9yeHzlVLnN7qC50wSwd6mieqD8fU9XBQnuW-CJ9gLt13Ou29g5LVjGh-T5V70H84_xj5a3XMHjQEQHCwnjO8V4jJdqy5JBik-RvPMrBT86RExXwaQiXvWj2VgICoH5mA/s400/IMG00013.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br />These pics are not great because I forgot my camera and used my Blackberry :) I had a glass of Merlot and Sean had a beer:<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297861833954551458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK_otQlynzvKZIeh9-Yr4ITpwEq4oME897DXENuPY1Mi8j1Yw9CVOXmXmdW0CKi2bGMsD1QAHXew7EG0FSke9Km4VDUQQLn73LvlYtCMvNbaYzFEsrnwNSrkupE_7alfR56VArROIsqmyv/s400/IMG00014.jpg" border="0" /> The menu was a very wide range of prices and tastes!

Thinner sliced absorb more sauce. Place sliced tempeh on rimmed baking sheet or 9"x11" pyrex pan. Spread chopped ginger over top. Mix remaining ingredients together and pour over the tempeh, or use a spray bottle to apply. Bake uncovered for 30-40 minuets, turning once to allow for browning on both sides.

I am really no expert on cooking steak, I have only ever cooked them ONCE! Sean usually BBQ's or broils them. I tried to Pan Fry them.

I also heard a sad story about a family of 7 all found dead due to a murder suicide by the father who killed his wife and 5 kids due to getting fired and not being able to handle life with the economic crisis. I hate the news and normally don't watch but for some reason this morning I flipped it on for one second and this is what I got-<em>my heart and prayers go out to the families of those who are no longer with us!</em></div><em></em></div><div></div><div>Sorry for the heavy load but these stories have been weighing on me today.</div><div></div><div><br />On to lunch :) I had a leftover lunch to clean the fridge and save some moola.

I will not let this stop me, and I plan to pick back up soon! I am on my feet all day at work and am hoping that the amount of calories I am burning will not allow me to GAIN any weight, but I sure know I am not LOSING any. I feel healthy and that is most important, but I would like to exercise because when I do I feel 10 times better! My will power is not keeping up right now and I need a bit of a push! The first step is getting my gym membership! So we will make that priority #1!</p><p>Good night everybody!

But it was very tasty! I had an <strong>Eel Roll with cucumber and sweet sauce, and Yellowtail sushi</strong> with lots of ginger and wasabi!!! It was a nice meal, not too filling but satisfied me so I feel good!<br /><br />It was sooooo awesome to see this girl, it was like we had spent NO time apart. There was a lot of catching up to do and a lot of similar stories shared! I love connecting with people from my past, I feel it has been really hard for me to find decent girl friends as I get older, and this friendship feels <em>real </em>and <em>right!</em> Yeah! I told her about my blog and in her words "what do you do on a blog?" WOW there was a lot of explaining to do! I forget that not everyone blogs and it might seem odd to people who don't :) I guess I am a nerd, but it's cool cause so are all you guys! Just Kidding!<br /><br />After my bfast and some laundry I did a 20 min <strong>yoga download</strong> for free! It was Gentle Hatha Yoga #1- I thought it was nice to listen to and easy to follow but WAY to easy. So my next download will be either intermediate or power or something much longer!!!! But it was still nice to stretch and warm up the body!<br />This afternoon I had some lil snacks- snack #1 chocolate<br />I know this pic is blurry!!!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_51pC3zWVyNdFl_GePd5fGg7ts5yTIOOMgWcC5plWkq6p5WRHPBFrnVrIyG9ZDtTSFPL-wkf8jev6ilFWxiMdqsRMPZCYucYAST0U0oaiw8WEGa3bpDdrRJhn7qXlA-PXD69f_xVERQ_G/s1600-h/blog+006.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295102921509000146" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_51pC3zWVyNdFl_GePd5fGg7ts5yTIOOMgWcC5plWkq6p5WRHPBFrnVrIyG9ZDtTSFPL-wkf8jev6ilFWxiMdqsRMPZCYucYAST0U0oaiw8WEGa3bpDdrRJhn7qXlA-PXD69f_xVERQ_G/s400/blog+006.JPG" border="0" /></a> Snack #2- 2 hours before I left for dinner I had this new flavor Cliff and a spoon of Fage 0%:<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjosyWq3yVHFxBTXtVtsO8TGpwSLeZVndgdKEDO0iOmX4uH6DtcFaH1_VVKQvA508TLEHHFiECRuy7W7JpkuqDzFtEaPeiJZLFcBtZJvw-UIN1EZnxrPJl8T4MoCxad_efMxE-zVc_sFrjR/s1600-h/blog+007.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295102918772317330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjosyWq3yVHFxBTXtVtsO8TGpwSLeZVndgdKEDO0iOmX4uH6DtcFaH1_VVKQvA508TLEHHFiECRuy7W7JpkuqDzFtEaPeiJZLFcBtZJvw-UIN1EZnxrPJl8T4MoCxad_efMxE-zVc_sFrjR/s400/blog+007.JPG" border="0" /></a> I love this flavor, I find Cliff bars can all kinda taste the same or be very close with the nuts and stuff, so I really like this fruit flavor! No nuts, just fruit and grains. The apricot flavor is there but subtle and not fake tasting which I love, a bit tart and a bit sweet (like me)!</div><div> </div><div>I am now going to catch up on your blogs and try to not get into my pj's ( I was in them most of the day!) until Sean gets home from work! I hate it when he sees me in the morning in bed then when he gets home I'm in pj's! So I will try to stick out my <em>cute outfit</em> until he at least walks in the door!<br /><br /><div>Goodnight everybody! Love!</div><div>C</div></div>Cassandrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07377819293392368808noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2163966040488403891.post-54265056098260496152009-01-24T12:41:00.000-08:002009-01-24T13:05:08.171-08:00Getting OrganizedHello Saturday!<br />Today my goal is to get a bit organized, for this week was really jam packed and I had no time to clean or organize my life! So I am doing laundry, dusting, dishes, and most excitingly I am seeing a friend for dinner from when I was in Elementary school! Gotta love Facebook! We used to be really close and when we went to different Middle schools, like people often do, we drifted apart and lost touch. We are having dinner together tonight because Sean is working- <em>boo for working on the weekend- </em>I am so excited! Funny I read my horoscope today and it was quite fitting:<br /><a class="norm" href="http://m.www.yahoo.com/_ylt=Aj2C7HVkWxBgI0gvuQbUWHWbvZx4/SIG=11r2rbtf2/**http%3A//shine.yahoo.com/astrology/libra/daily-extended/">Libra</a> (9/23-10/22)<br />You're stuck in the past a bit today, but it's not such a bad thing, really. In fact, you may find that people are more willing than usual to reminisce with you and recall the good times.<br /><br />Last night Sean brought home a wonderful gift: WINE! A friend of his made this himself with left over grapes from the harvest at a winery he works at! How cool right? We had to taste it last night and I must say it is very home made :)<br />It has the color of a Rose, the nose of a Chardonnay and the taste of a Syrah blend-<em>hmmmmmm?</em><br />This is the case we received, sans one bottle he gave to a co-worker:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5lJl6f2qRY4ENkin5Z801yCdHY9RsnJ25y0uy19NBdTkUxyDzp8zuSbzNzyxc5bpVIZaQSTEoUdX65otHt3rD6m-hDj_6mG6jO_dGkRvvP7vqMJzeB7KKyn89NAvj_rDSXLubbrXh-Bt3/s1600-h/blog+001.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294964035244654802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5lJl6f2qRY4ENkin5Z801yCdHY9RsnJ25y0uy19NBdTkUxyDzp8zuSbzNzyxc5bpVIZaQSTEoUdX65otHt3rD6m-hDj_6mG6jO_dGkRvvP7vqMJzeB7KKyn89NAvj_rDSXLubbrXh-Bt3/s400/blog+001.JPG" border="0" /></a> I have never filled up my wine rack before!<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw_blTNwPZMfXW4Db7eFWFBOjkLLxUKJXPqIb_FkijkeARQ_TU5g_bhxqR5TN77xBmZ1ARMiU17IX-V-Ev-HBwBAah83GV7Tnt211ScLWZofKaq2zeECEaFXeCgb-Ewxny9fI8uq8ta4-z/s1600-h/blog+002.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294964025203013138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw_blTNwPZMfXW4Db7eFWFBOjkLLxUKJXPqIb_FkijkeARQ_TU5g_bhxqR5TN77xBmZ1ARMiU17IX-V-Ev-HBwBAah83GV7Tnt211ScLWZofKaq2zeECEaFXeCgb-Ewxny9fI8uq8ta4-z/s400/blog+002.JPG" border="0" /></a>I am sure you will see this wine in future posts~ </div><div>Today I had a big bfast bowl of cereal! 1 cup Kashi sunshine, 1 cup Heritage flakes, 1.5 cups skim milk with 1/2 scoop Vanilla Whey Protein powder mixed in, 1/2 shot of raisins, 1/2 shot of Bare Naked Granola, a few roasted peanuts, and 1 small banana sliced:<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnmBtj5uHFwYhzFWkhtJY2U_6xdTjRahfKQiU7uY7U6Dvg8ptMHYkhzBMGeNPg_16PhShNLuhc_q9DrW1jlwadlF6FrOcJaeNLQsHt-_DjtwZFm1ldpkRvFIgyoBD14cvl2IuS2eQAc3ou/s1600-h/blog+003.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294964017917205490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnmBtj5uHFwYhzFWkhtJY2U_6xdTjRahfKQiU7uY7U6Dvg8ptMHYkhzBMGeNPg_16PhShNLuhc_q9DrW1jlwadlF6FrOcJaeNLQsHt-_DjtwZFm1ldpkRvFIgyoBD14cvl2IuS2eQAc3ou/s400/blog+003.JPG" border="0" /></a>It was wonderfully filling with the protein powder!

I microwaved a 2 red potatoes topped with 2 big spoons of a mix of leftover Tortilla soup (from work) and a can of TJ's Refried Black Beans with Jalapeno ( a fat free product).
