One Of Those Weeks…

I think Longweekenditis is a real disease, even though WebMD doesn’t give you anything when you search for it. It was just one of those weeks…

February 23rd 021

When you make the same thing for each meal because you’re low on groceries and uninspired to try something new.

quinoa + frozen spinach + leftover chicken + olive oil = perfection

When whenever you cough someone in the room thinks a horse is dying.

February 23rd 062

When you make the most absurdly delicious fudge on Thursday afternoon because the week just needs it. Don’t worry; that post’s coming.

When your family tells you they think your pet’s spirit lives in a Rhode Island casino and you think they’re crazy until you realize if you were dead you’d probably haunt that casino, too, because then you’d get visited way more than if you were in some cemetery.

February 25th 007

When you run out of groceries a little early and salsa goes from being a condiment to being its own food group.

When there’s so little going on in your life that the highlight of your week is a soap opera wedding(who else is excited for EJ and Taylor’s story line? Don’t lie…).

February 25th 001

When the one day a week you plan on going to the store it’s raining buckets. If only there were some sort of 21st century way to tell what the weather’s going to be; my Farmer’s Almanac keeps failing me.

But hey, it’s not all bad: Two and a Half Men production has been shut down. There is a God and he hears my prayers.

    I had one of those weeks too! Then my husband called and said that the rain mentioned in your post would prevent him from flying home last night. Yeah, I lost it. Drank some wine and ate sushi.
    Then I read on your blog that 2 and 1/2 Men shut down. It’s already been a great morning. 🙂 Happy weekend!

    I may have died if you hadn’t said the recipe for that fudge wasn’t coming soon! 🙂

    Haha – I’ve totally been having one of those weeks, and I don’t even have absurdly delicious fudge to show for it. But then I read this post and it made me laugh, so all is right with the world again.

    Hope you’re feeling good as new this morning!

    Hope you’re feeling better! At least there are soap operas and chocolate to help a little for those “off” weeks 🙂

    “salsa goes from being a condiment to being its own food group.”–

    I was in target this week and watched a man (I think homeless but not sure) open a jar of JUST tomato sauce and chug it.

    So don’t feel too bad 🙂

    I tend to eat the same things over and over again too. A week of chilaquiles for instance. (See, salsa is it’s own food group!) Glad Two & a Half Men is gone too. Although there’s still reruns which has me looking forward to the fudge recipe!

    Salsa is indeed its own food group!! I love it on top of salad mmmmmm
    living at college, it’s hard to get into a food rut, except when I’m eating from the salad bar (which I tend to) but they always manage to switch it up. I’m lucky enough to have at least 5 other dining rooms on campus to choose from though!!
    and longweekitis? I totally get that.

    It really was a long week considering that Monday was a holiday! Ugh, I hope next week goes faster.

    Hallelujah to the anti-Two and a Half Men show! I have never, never seen a less funny piece of “entertainment” in my life. Can’t wait for the fudge recipe, and make sure you enjoy your weekend more than your week, Evan! 🙂

    Very much looking forward to that fudge recipe. Salsa is totally a valid meal. 🙂

    Funny. 🙂

    I know what it feels like to be a little “off.”

    Fantastic fudge.

    Wait. You sounds like a dying horse?
    That is impressive and scary at the same time.
