What I ate and What I can’t get rid of

Note: Live Writer and WordPress have been weird with the posts…grr

Thanks for the compliments on the dress and the shoes.  I was definitely out of my element with a long dress and flat shoes, but I think I dig the look.

So now I’m on my second week of What I Ate Wednesday (WIAW), courtesy of Peas and Crayons. WIAWbutton

Let’s do this….

Breakfast:

020 (4)

1 packet TJ’s apple-cinn oats, huge dash of cinn, 1/3 cup old-fashioned oats + 1/3 scoop vanilla protein powder (water added at work) (ate at 9a) + 1 travel mug of Vermont Maple + Texas Turtle coffee (with cinn and vanilla creamer (drank at 730a).

Snack:

Small crisp fuji apple at 1115a (needed a snack to get me through my meeting)

Lunch:

003 (7)

Leftover quinoa/turkey burger stuff pepper from Sunday night with a huge dose of hot salsa (ate at 1230p). *This is my plate from Sunday night – I ate out of tupperware at work sans the sides.

Snack:

1/2 cup of PB Puffins cereal and ~20 blueberries (at between 3-430p).

Dinner:

Be warned, this dinner looks like it should be for a 5 yr old.  I wasn’t even going to post it because I felt a little ashamed at eating such a mish-mash of nonsense food, but hey it happens Winking smile

009 (5)

2 cut up Smart dogs with ketchup and mustard; 1 packet of SmartPop popcorn (eaten between 6 and 730p).

Snack:

010 (7)

Dreyer’s Slow Churned Yogurt Blend: Key Lime Pie flavor.  I die.  I truly die.  I have been on an ice cream kick lately and this is awesome. Thanks hubby for indulging yourself – you didn’t expect I’d like this huh?  I even went on the website to see the other flavors and plan on going to town on all of them.  Nom.

And now on to what I can’t get rid of:

I will never be on the show Hoarders.  I like to purge my closet a couple times a year.  I don’t get too emotionally attached to many items.

But for some reason, I can’t let go of these:

006 (9)

Yep, my undergrad and grad school files.  I have pared down quite a bit (I had about 4x’s this amount), but this last bit, I’m clinging too.  These are my engineering notes, my cheat sheets, my tabbed supplemental notes.  Upstairs I have about half of my old textbooks, too.  If I throw them away, am I throwing away the knowledge that I got from them?  It may seem dramatic, but I do sort of feel this way.  But truth be told, it’s been at least 4 years since I consulted any of my own notes.

Sigh, is it time to let go???

Does your dinner ever resemble something more suited for a 5 yr old?   One of my other faves is mac’n’cheese

Have you kept your old notes and books from school?
