This and That

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

Upon reading from my dear friend Low,
it’s National Poetry Day, did you know?
Why I must create some rhymes,
before it is time,
when the rain turns my hair into an afro.

This week has been a sap attack,
I can’t help I’m feeling taken aback,
by all the love and support,
I wish I was eating a Pumpkin Torte,
Gourmet Mag going out of business is whack.

Janetha B is her one of a kind name,
giveways are now her main game.
Head over to meals and moves,
to get into the Xagave groove,
fun and fabulous she is – not lame.

Alison likes to clean green,
and share the love with the team.
Eco-friendly these soap nuts are,
a funny name for such a cleaning star.
Scrub, wipe, brush, mop and clean!

Since I have no more pride,
pimping myself for votes worldwide.
Hit up Foodbuzz and vote,
for me, for anyone you may dote.
If only I could go to San Fran – I tried!

Tonight I will attempt some yoga,
first workout after the marathon – no toga.
Gentle and slow,
my yoga flow will go.
In true James Bond style – I will go rogue-a.

Have a fabulous day to you dolls,
Friday – I can hear it call.
One more day until the weekend,
more love to you I send.
Ah, hell being sappy is okay after all!

Mondo This and That

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

Alright kids, hold onto your britches because we got a big one coming your way! Since there has been no “This and That” post this week, I am going to weave it into today’s.  So please, follow along (if you can).

First and foremost, I need to thank y’all for your “get out of a funk” suggestions yesterday.  Even though I’m not feeling completely out of the hunches yet, I just got back from a 3 mile run + yoga and am feeling lots better. Amazing what a lil’ endorphin rush can do, no?

Brekkie went unphotographed because I was inhaling my Barbara’s Vanilla Almond Shredded Oatmeal + skim milk plus a naner + AB as I was walking out the door.  Funny thing is, I wasn’t late for work.

 

Listen up peeps, this is how we do,
Delish dot com has some sammie ideas too.
I know y’all need some inspiration,
so pack up your lunch boxes for a meal celebration!


I was def a lil’ funkalicious throughout the day today, including splaying myself on the floor in our office.  Suddenly, our co-worker came barging in with a metal jousting helmet on and scared the bejeezus out of all of us.  Yes, a guy that works down the hall is a legit medieval times jouster.  No lie.

Lunchie was leftovers from last night’s Veggie Thai Red Curry

mmmm, mmmm good!

and some bluebs just for good measure

Miss Special K only treats us kind,
encouraging us to share yourself and mind.
Head on over to swap some goodies,
and share the love with all your fellow foodies!


After the red curry, I think the spiciness upset my tum-tum a bit so I dug into my snack a bit early…

Chocolate Brownie PURE Bar (smaller than a business card - fo reals)

I know, I really need to get over the size of these bars.  However, the flavor? AMAZING.

 

My snacky lil’ girl with the fabulous face,
is VegTastic and leaving her fave place.
She giving away some uber-awesome schtuff,
so head on over because Kailey’s off the cuff!


Later in the afternoon, I let my funk get the best of me, and I dived (or dove?) into a handful of these…

Milk Duds...my fave candy eva.

A handful of Raisinets might have also entered my mouth. And I’ve been reminded, some sour watermelon slices.

 

My new fave blog has the biggest prize,
Jessie’s got a Vita-Mix – ain’t no lie.
Enter now for this magic machine,
smoothies, sauces and goods – you will gleen!


After gorging myself on sugar and on the verge of a fructose coma, I finished up the day and walked my buns home. Then I threw on my running gear, ran 1.5 miles to the gym, sweated out with a 75 minute yoga sesh (FULL of downward dogs + chaturangas = sore arms) and ran 1 mile home.

Then I devoured the most delicious bowl of yog eva!

Plain Chobani, mushed naner, buttloads of cinnamon, Vanilla Almond squares + raw AB

After dindin, I had a phone date with our fave Brit Angharad and now I gots to shower, clean this place up and hit the hay.

 

My bloggy changes are comin’ soon,
so don’t go leaving to rocket to the moon.
I promise the same stuff with a bit o’ sass,
peace out and much love from this g-ma lass!


 

Whoooooooo whooooooooo!

Oh my children…how long it has been since I have used the rhyme, snap and pizzaz of words to liven up the little things in this bloggyworld we live in.  I’ve tried to amass as much “This and That” goodness as I can to return to my roots and give it up this week in rhyme time.

 

Help me out by heading over here,
to congratulate the new missus with a big cheer.
Looking quite radiant all dressed in white,
She said “I do” with her British white knight.

 

Sarah, she likes to slow things down,
She keeps it spicy too so please don’t frown.
Join her here for a fun breakfast challenge,
Just don’t get any weird ideas involving a syringe.

 

If you happened in Beantown last week,
a healthy load of ladies – some eating Greek.
The Healthy Living Summit is what it was called,
looks like those luckies had quite a ball!

 

A certain girl from the state of Iowa,
wants to give you some free chips – duh!
Head over and leave a comment or two,
lime, cinnamon or corn – give it a woowoo!

 

Lots more giveaway to explore,
my girl Annabel wants to help you score!
Feed granola and some other yummy thangs,
feed her she’s cranky and cash in – chachang!

 

Last but not least my girl K is clean,
reading some foodie lit – eat your beans!
You could win a brand new copy,
Skeddaddle on over and keep it hoppy!

 

How I missed rhyming all these words,
Skipping it this long again would be absurd.
Enjoy your humpday dudes and dudettes,
I’ll be back next week – start placing your bets!

yours truly with the King and Queen of Thailand...just for fun.

There is soooo much goodness to be had in this “This and That” post, you better get ready because nothing screams AWESOME like a good ol’ fashioned Shakespearean sonnet!

Thank you Miss Jenny :) .

 

First and foremost my dear readers of yore,
head over to Eating for England and leaveth a comment.
Thy will not be sad with Chobani to possibly score,
Doth honor thy Angharad and goods will be sent.

I loveth new bloggies to discover and peruse,
Young House Love and Eat Make Read doth both fabulous.
The former does decorate instead of food or booze,
the latter is stunningeth in photography and food lust.

How thy Travel Eat Love is such a dear,
for bestowing on me thy “Lovely Blog Award” she say.
How sweet and caring thy bringeth down a tear.
In return, I pass this onto thy Queens – Janetha and Anne K.!

Please leave a comment with something blog-related I can improve,
any ideas, tips and feedback would be appreciated, it’s true!

 

Happy humpday everyone – see you back here tonight after night #1 of volleyball playoffs!!!
