I was exhausted yesterday. You know those days where it is hard to keep your eyes open all day? That was me. I did get some good sleep. Woke up a little early to the neighbor’s dog barking constantly. I don’t know if they weren’t home or what, but shut up already! Good thing I was planning on getting up to go to the gym.

Pretty standard day. I drank my entire protein shake before the workout today as I felt hungrier, so nothing afterwards until I got home to make breakfast.
Then I committed a cardinal sin. I broke one of our Broncos mugs. I don’t know how it happened. I had heated up my almond milk and I must have banged the cup against the microwave or counter because it fell out of my hands and broke. Not to mention spilling almond milk everywhere.
We do have another one, so hopefully I didn’t jinx the season.
I had to laugh because while I was cleaning up the mess, John got down the other Broncos cup to have my coffee in. Guess he didn’t learn that I should have a different cup LOL.
These birdies were eating breakfast, too!
I love the goldfinches. This is the feeder right next to my chair (outside, obviously).
Lunch time! I have been moving some of my calories from dinner to make a bigger lunch to see if that helps me with some snacking issues that are creeping back in.
This is peanut flour that I mix with a bit of honey, a pinch of salt and cinnamon.
It’s a busy week this week. John and I get barely any time together this week in the evenings.
I was doing some prep work for tutoring and came across this cute poem on learning the parts of speech:
—————————–
Are ARTICLES: a, an, and the.A NOUN‘s the name of anything,
As: school or garden, toy, or swing.
ADJECTIVES tell the kind of noun,
As: great, small, pretty, white, or brown.
VERBS tell of something being done:
To read, write, count, sing, jump, or run.
How things are done the ADVERBS tell,
As: slowly, quickly, badly, well.
CONJUNCTIONS join the words together,
As: men and women, wind or weather.
The PREPOSITION stands before
A noun as: in or through a door.
The INTERJECTION shows surprise
As: Oh, how pretty! Ah! how wise!
Which reading, writing, speaking teach.
Funny how you really don’t think too much about what the parts of speech are, but you use them all the time. How many of you remember Conjunction Junction from Schoolhouse Rock?
“conjunction junction, whats your function”?
I also remember “I’m just a bill, yes I’m only a bill, and I’m sitting here on Capitol hill”
I cringed about your mug – I broke my favorite one a few years ago but luckily I emailed an old co-worker in Vermont who mailed me a replacement. Whew!
Loved Conjunction Junction…so much fun and learning.
Yay to date night…have a great time!
Enjoy the date night!
Those birdies are so pretty! Do they drive Pixie crazy?
Some birdies drive her nuts and other ones she could care less about. Not sure why. The pigeons make her really crazy, though.
Good eats today! And yes, those birds are gorgeous! I’ve only ever seen one in my yard. Nice when cancellations work in your favor!
Hope the 2 of you had a great night together.
Love the birds.
I can sing (okay, let’s call it singing) almost all the School House rock songs:)
Hooray for date night – I hope to go out with my hubs tonight – a new restaurant opened up near the grocery store we go to and they were handing out 50% off your entire bill this week!
I love School House Rocks! This one is my favorite though:

Have a great day!
Hurray for impromptu date nights! We normally have most week nights separate and this is the week we get more of them together. Even Mr. Helen was happy happy when he realized it.
On Muay Thai nights, I eat more calories at lunch. Not only do I feel better it really does keep me from coming home from MT, eating dinner and then grazng, grazing, grazing.
Pixie – I love thee! 😉
I am listening to barking dogs right now – we are surrounded & they bark at every hour of the day & night – very frustrating!!! Wake us all the time!
Love that bird pic – cool!
Hope that date night was wonderful!!!
Is it just me or does Pixie look a little bit annoyed? I am annoyed, because I’m learning about wordpress security… 🙂
Pixie probably is annoyed because I woke her up. 😀
How nice to have a last minute date night! Hope you had a blast 🙂
