I really miss the hour long lunch that I used to get when I worked at the animal hospital. I could actually enjoy my lunch without inhaling my food. I could run errands if I needed to. I could work out for 30 minutes and then still be able to eat afterwords. Best of all, I could take a nap in my car on a nice spring, summer, or autumn day. Sometimes a nap was necessary to make it through the day. I could rest and unwind if I had a stressful morning. I could go back to work feeling ready to take on the afternoon.
It's been just about 5 years since I've left that job. I now have a 30 minute lunch break. Sometimes it's not nearly enough. If I want to run out for a quick bite to eat, I have to eat it in my car while driving (which can be dangerous and limits what you can eat). Or I have to eat at my desk. I'm okay with a snack at my desk, but I cannot eat my lunch at my desk.
There's really no rhyme or reason for this post. Just a thought that came into my mind today.

Feeling Domestic
In the last 3 days I've spent quite some time in the kitchen. Friday evening I baked some home made brownies and they were delicious! On the weekends I enjoy watching The Food Network and last weekend Melissa D'Arabian made Black Bean Brownies. At first I wasn't sure about the beans in the brownies, but I still wanted to give them a try. They turned out AMAZING! And two days later, they're better than the first day!
Last night my mom invited family over for dinner. She was cooking Lasagna for dinner and I asked her if I could bring dessert. I made my Apple Crisp for dessert. The one that everyone loves!
And this morning for breakfast I whipped up some biscuits and gravy! Yum!
I have to admit, I do enjoy spending time in the kitchen. I just wish my kitchen was bigger and had more counter space.

Lent Update
Well, it's been a few weeks since I've posted about giving up Pizza and Pop for Lent. The pizza didn't last long, but the pop is proving to be successful. I've been drinking more water, green tea, and juices in its place. I don't really crave the pop, but what I crave is the carbonation. I'm thinking of continuing this change long after Lent is over.
