Weird things at work

Hola! Today's been a breezy day but time seems to have stopped in the last hour or so, which brings me here.

Last night I ended up doing a little bit of food prep for the week. I boiled a bunch of eggs, which I despise doing for some reason even though it's one of the easiest tasks on the planet. I also washed/cut up a bag of snap peas, 2 cucumbers and a bag of mini carrots. I split the veggies up into four sandwich size bags for easy packing. I can eat pounds of raw vegetables (no dipping necessary!) at once and like to bring full bags to work to eat during lunch. Random, but I HATE when people say "veg" instead of vegetables or veggies. I especially hate it when it's on restaurant menus. In South Africa that's all people used to say and it was torture.

Anyway...speaking of packing lunch, look at my adorable new lunch bag!

My mom got it for me for Christmas and I'm obsessed with it. I've used it every day since I got back from the holiday break. What I like about it is that it's BIG, keeps things cool (for those days you're too busy to even walk to the fridge), and has a little pocket in front for anything else (food or non-food related). Now I'm no longer worried my tupperwares are going to spill all over my bag and am not wasting a plastic grocery bag every day. Wins all around!

I probably should have brought a few of those eggs with me to work because I've been feeling snacky allll day. For breakfast I had two clementines and a granola bar and was immediately hungry again. I decided to dig into my bag of veggies and then ate 2 spoonfuls of dark chocolate peanut butter straight out of the jar. I managed to hold off a little longer and finally ate the rest of my lunch: a turkey and avocado sandwich with a side of blackberries and a clementine.My notebooks make the most exquisite backgrounds...

I'm hoping to make it to the gym tonight for a loooong sweat sesh. Then I'm going to make an amazing soup -- hopefully I'll actually do it and will have the recipe tomorrow :)

Edited to add: I titled this "weird things at work" because I felt like I was doing a lot of weird things today. I forgot to talk about this and then publish. Whooops!
