Friday!!

We've made it to Friday! : )

I must say, I really love Fridays ... definitely one of my favorite days of the week.

So as you can tell, I've changed up the blog layout a bit and am now officially a foodbuzz featured publisher ... woo hoo!

Now for a few eats. I've officially tried three different kinds of Ezekiel cereal now; Golden Flax, Cinnamon Raisin, and now Original. While I'm currently on an original box, I'd say right now I'm leaning towards Cinnamon Raisin being my favorite. Anyone else an Ezekiel cereal fan?? Dinner last night was chicken, veggies and some quinoa. Though you can't see it in this picture, my husband made the best quinoa ever (so far anyways;). I'm not even sure what all he did to it, but I know it involved olive oil. For the chicken I tried something a little different than I've done before because it sounded good, and was very simple ... first I sprinkled chili powder on them, then a little bit of low carb Heiz ketchup, some Mrs. Dash's garlic & herb seasoning, and other dried herb mix that's called "Spice It! Pizza Seasoning" that has dried oregano, garlic, crushed red pepper, and other spices in it, and I topped them off with some chopped onions. The result = delicious!

Finally, I was tagged by one of my awesome & lovely favorite blogger friends (it's true, she is that awesome and lovely;), Marian at Marian' eats, tagged with in the purse game and here are the rules:

1) Post a picture of whatever bag you are carrying as of late. No, you cannot go up to your closet and pull out that cute little purse you used back before you had kids. I want to know what you carried today or the last time you left the house. No cheating!

2) I want to know how much it cost :) And this is not to judge. This is for entertainment purposes only. So spill it. And if there is a story to go along with how you obtained it, I'd love to hear it.

3) Tag some chicks. And link back to this post so people know why the heck you're showing everyone your bag.I don't know how much this bag cost because it was a gift for Christmas from my mom and dad : ) It came from the awesome store my cousin, Ericka owns in Sioux City, Iowa called Close to Home (if you leave near there, you MUST check it out!)

Now for the contents:Lotion, keys, gun, pens, finger nail clippers, little thing with some makeup in it that I never actually seem to use, my mini wallet with all the "important" stuff in it, the bigger, older wallet with misc. items in it, my planner, my work badge, most importantly what I use ALL the time, my Burt's Bee's chap stick.

Now here's the honest truth about me ... my purse often becomes laden with junk, trash, and receipts and here is pile I threw away :sPretty bad, huh? lol. So, thanks, Marian, for tagging me and making me clean out my purse : ) I tag whoever wants to play (you should try, it was fun!) ... and holler at me if you do!!

After work today, Erik and I are headed to Great Wolf Lodge for our leader's retreat and then Saturday afternoon we're going to do some Whole Foods shopping while we're there and will return tomorrow evening.

Have a GREAT Friday, friends : )
