Hey, hey peoples!
Good times I have been having in the last 24 hours. Don’t worry, you can read all about it here in a minute.
Last night for dinner I ate a bowl of veggie soup,
along with a side of crackers and grapes,
and went to a gathering at my mom’s church. Food was provided, but it was not the sort I eat (as in animals), so I made sure I was well fed previously.
Afterwards I went to a friends house that I grew up with to reminisce about old times, and eat.
I was pleased to find that the eats were very Whit-friendly. I should hang out with these girls more often! 😀
Pita chips, pretzel crisps and PB & CO! You know I dove into that headfirst.
Broccoli+SABRAS!
And some deliciously ooey gooey brownies that I had a piece of. OH.MY.HEAVENS. Delicious.
Katie, Erin and Jessica happily posed for my camera. Everyone else scattered. Get back here girls! I’m only going to post your photo on the internet. Where did you go?
I had such fun chatting and catching up that before I knew it, Cinderella’s coach had turned to a pumpkin, and ‘twas time to get meself home!
I crawled into bed at a very un-Whit like time of 1:30 am. No blogging for me last night!
*****
I was up at 7 am, because today was a very special Saturday. No I did not run a race like some people, nor did I run at all.
Today was volunteer day at my church, so at 7:20 am I was in the grocery store buying bananas.
Apparently I signed up for a lot of events.
- Give blood
- Goodie baskets for local fire and police stations
- Love, Inc – helping an elderly lady
I must have three personalities or something.
Anyway, I agreed to provide apples and bananas for the gift baskets, go to a blood drive and work in the home of the elderly lady.
I didn’t make time for breakfast, so I had coffee on the way, as well as a cup at the church. Around 9:30 I broke out a Clif Z-bar to tide me over, as well as some pretzels that our group leader provided.
At Miss Pearl’s (the elderly lady) we painted, mended, cleaned and weeded. Around 1, we stopped for lunch. I had a nectarine (out of my purse. So handy!), small bag of peanuts and a few more pretzels.
After lunch, we finished cleaning everything up, and home we went; leaving Miss Pearl’s house in much better shape than when we came.
I wish I had pictures, but it was just one of those times it did not feel appropriate to whip out my camera to document something for the internet.
Ya know?
Upon arriving home I should have dug into some salad, given my lack of veggies at previous meals, but instead I chose something equally as nutritious.
Edy’s Butterfinger Ice Cream.
I haven’t had ice cream in forever (well a few weeks. It feels like forever.) I was really craving it after our long day and it hit the spot.
YUM.
Today’s eats have been rather random. I am ready for an actual meal for dinner. What shall it be?
I hear there is a Greek Festival this weekend. I bet there will be food there. I might be there too.
😉
Whoa those brownies look seriously good!
Volunteer day at your church is such a cool idea. I love how volunteering makes you feel like you’ve accomplished something worthwhile at the end of the day.
Those brownies look TDF (to die for, duh) haha.. Volunteering so early in the am is always tough but it feels so good (maybe not the blood giving)!
Have a great weekend!
Wow you wore so many hats this weekend. So fun filled with great people with awesome food!
Ice cream is a great way to end that sort of day!
Greek Festival sounds awesome!
though I would’ve loved to see Miss Pearl in all of her painting weeding glory, I think ditching the cam. was a smart decision.
ice creaaaaaaaaaaaam

So nice of you to do all that for Miss Pearl!
That is so nice of you to do all that volunteering!
Hey, I would like to clarify that I did not run from your camera. However the picture that you got of me was probably one that would scare your very large audience off… So glad you came Friday night, we will have to do that again!
