Living and learning goes better with bacon

Just a friendly heads-up - there will be ranting up ahead and yes, ohhh yes, there will be bacon.

Do you have someone in your life that is dismissive of your accomplishments?


Oh, wait - here is a shot of bacon to hold you over while you read.

Bacon wrapped rice balls (the dog's treat).

This morning I got some good news and I was calling people to share. Everyone is ecstatic for me. This is something I have been working on for a while and it is finally starting to pay off. 

Then I make a call to a person who's reaction goes something like this:

Me: "Blah, blah, blah *insert any great news you want here*"

Other person: "Oh *pause* well I guess that is good news. *another pause* So anyways, I bought these really cute shoes the other day..."


And I am thinking - "Wow, way to be dismissive."


And then it hits me - Why do I keep expecting different results???


Wait, you probably need another shot of bacony goodness at this point.

Seasoned rice with an over easy egg with a sprinkling of bacon.

Have I confronted them on this issue? Heck yeah. Which results in them saying in a condescending tone, "Oh I didn't realize it was THAT important."


So my positive action of the day (aka. my living and learning moment)? In the future I will wait for the giddy euphoria to pass before calling them - that way it won't bother me.


There, *big sigh*, I feel much better - Thanks for listening:-)


On to the food:

Seasoned rice with egg and bacon, miso soup, nori strips and green tea.

I always mix the rice and egg together.

 This is my favorite green tea:

If you want to see how I go about eating this you can check out an earlier post here.




Since the dogs looked like they were contemplating taking me out so they could wolf down the bacon, I made them this:

Bacon wrapped rice balls.

They are now draped over the couch in a porcine induced stupor:-)

Breakfast Act 1

Even though I slept 8+ hours last night - I still woke up exhausted((

I had a little bit of yogurt left so I mixed up this:

Greek yogurt with muesli, blueberries and a drizzle of honey.

And of course tea!

I have a little something cooking on the stove.

Breakfast Act 2 coming soon...

encore appearance

It was a while before I was hungry for lunch.

The rest of the salad from Panera and the apple made an encore appearance. See how much was left? That is a lot!


I had a nice hot mug of green tea to go with.

I added in a few grape tomatoes.

Although the salads at Panera are way too huge in my opinion - it was nice to have a ready-to-go lunch that was very yummy :-)

The dogs munched on a couple of tomatoes too - but oddly - I always have to cut them in half or they just roll them around like they are teeny tiny rubber balls.
