No Time to Be Sick

But yet, I am. Sore, dry throat, stuffy, burny nose, no energy.

My birthday is the 11th (mark your calendars, yo), and I’m leaving for a ski trip with friends the day before. Tamsin is visiting the weekend after.

I used to get pissed—“I’m so healthy, why do I get sick?” Turns out, I’m not Superwoman, just a super woman (haaaaa), and sometimes exercise can actually make you sick, if it zaps you of zinc.

My thoughts on vitamins/supplements are somewhat conflicted (ideally, I think you should be able to get all of the nutrients you need from your diet, but sometimes supplements are necessary), but when I’m sick, I definitely up my vitamin intake, and it seems to help. I take: Vitamin  C, zinc and echinacea, in addition to my semi-regular (as in, when I can remember) B-complex and Omega-3.

Getting sick always reminds me to slow down, so I spent last night on the couch and plan on doing the same tonight so that I can enjoy the fun things coming up.

Breakfast was sunflower butter and banana on an English muffin, and I added some blueberries today so that it’d be a bit more filling. This is a tasty breakfast, but on its own, it sometimes lack the staying power that oats do.

Matchy Matchy

I’m definitely a matchy-matchy kind of girl. I match my bags to my shoes and go a little nuts if I inadvertently put on something I think clashes.

So when I saw that some bloggers have single bowls or plates that weren’t part of a set, I just did not comprehend it.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN? They don’t match? What? Who would do that? Well, lots of food bloggers who take pretty food photos. But, despite seeing that pretty plates=pretty photos, I still couldn’t get behind it…until I went to Target yesterday, and saw a few cute plates for $1-$2 each.

I spent a whopping $6.49 to mix up my plates for some of my photos.

Mom’s meatballs and sauce over whole wheat spaghetti with a little spinach and goat cheese. Do you like my new bowl?
