Happy Monday, folks! Aka my last week west coastin’ it like a local.
1. Apparently the Paleo 30 day challenge is really, really over now.
My mama’s pancakes, like with real flour, butter, and sugar. And bacon.
2. Speaking of, Paleo wasn’t as tough for me to endure this time around! I had good energy this past month (even without working out and getting up at the crack of dawn daily), and I’ve come to realize I actually don’t care as much for bread anymore, though I do still love oatmeal and the occasional pumpernickel bagel.
3. And those, down there?
Yeah. I missed those, although I was probably better off without them considering I inhale a seven-serving bag in one sitting. 
4. I’m so ready for my foot to be healed so I can run again. Instead, I’m spending my days obsessively researching different half marathons. <–I research like nobody’s business (thanks, Journalism Masters degree!)
5. And I did not get selected off the Napa to Sonoma Half’s waiting list. 
Whomp whomp.
6. And further proving my inability to be patient and deal with the present, I’ve bought more pairs of shoes in the last 48 hours than in the last year.
And I can only use one foot to try them on.
7. I did not buy these, though. To be honest, I’m barely even sure how to put them ON.
8. Did you watch the Super Bowl? Similar to last year, I went shopping for part of it… But I made it back in time for Beyonce and the Destiny’s Child reunion, no worries!
9. Psst- how glad are you to have not been the guy in charge of the Superdome’s lighting last night? Whooooopsies.
10. In happy Super Bowl news, best commercial? This one, by Jeep and the USO.
11. Remember the bridesmaid dress crisis I mentioned last week?
You guys were right – no problemo for the seamstress! She also knew how to zip the stinkin’ thing up correctly (apparently I didn’t gain 50 pounds like I thought, and actually just have no idea how to properly zip up formal wear).
12. I know soda is terrible for you…….. but I love Dr. Pepper.
Mmmk, that is all.
What are YOUR Monday things? Share the links of any of your fav Super Bowl commercials!
If you love that TJs popcorn, you definitely have to try the White Cheddar Popcorn in the orangish bag. Plus, it’s only 5 servings so it’s even more acceptable to eat the entire thing in one sitting.
I’m loving the bridesmaids dress too! It’s very mermaid-esque!
I’m trying to do paleo with diary and those pancakes look delicious!
Good for you! By the way, I have a Paleo pancakes recipe on my Recipe page. I am obsessed with “traditional” pancakes (with wheat flour/butter, like the ones I ate this weekend), but the Paleo ones are pretty yummy too!
So glad the dress issue has been solved!… p.s. i LOVE dr. pepper =)
Sweet fancy Moses, those black shoes! How can anybody even *walk* in those things?! The leopard print flats, however, are freaking adorable (and far more functional than their Alexander McQueen-esque compatriots).
I hope your foot feels better soon — the waiting is always the worst (and hardest, and most frustrating part). In the meantime, though, have fun Left Coasting it like a champ!
