How has your day been? Mine has been stressful and eventful. Making a blog move isn’t the easiest thing. But so worth it!
However last night I was majorly freaking out feeling a little overwhelmed and stressed. Not trying to Whine, of course. The fact that I had sat at my computer chair for over 16 hours yesterday wasn’t helping. Not exaggerating on that one.
I looked in the fridge
And didn’t think I was going to dip into any Hpnotiq or Bailey’s. Although a Buttery Nipple is always fun.
And I did actually want to dip into the Veuve. But I didn’t need a whole bottle for myself. Well, maybe that would have been ok.
Or this is really amazing rose champagne. Much better than the last time I drank champagne in Aruba. Or tried to. That champagne ended up down the kitchen sink. I would never waste a drop of the Nicolas.
But I settled on something I found that’s ancient that was taking up space in the fridge.
And it hit the spot.
From my last post about the Biggie Microwave Banana Oat Cake, glad you liked it. If you need a way to use up your extra bananas, check out this post.
And thanks for filling me in on everything from picture uploading details to whether or not you can save half for later. Most of you aren’t good savers. Shocking.
A couple housekeeping details are that many of the links in the Recipes Tab are working. I’d say about 80% are right and the rest of them are being worked on and everything will be back to normal with correct pathways, soon.
Also, if you commented on my previous two posts…
…And your comment disappeared from my site, I know. In getting the recipe links restored and corrected, some of the comments were lost but are being put back on.
And if for some reason you are reading this from your Google Reader and can’t access my site. That’s your server not updating. Nothing you can do other than be patient and it will self-correct in a day or so.
Dessert: Raw Vegan Chocolate Chocolate-Chip Cookies
After a day or two like mine, chocolate + more chocolate = perfect. You can also bake these in the oven. Or just eat the raw dough. Not a bad idea. And safe because they’re vegan and GF.
Raw Vegan Chocolate Chocolate-Chip Cookies
Questions:
1. Did you get a workout in today?
Dear Lord, I needed a workout like never before. Stress, stress, stress from this bloggie stuff. And am glad I rocked a 20-minute at-home workout and a run in the 65F weather!
2. Favorite Wine? Or champagne, or green juice, or tea. I just did a post on some of my favorite coffees. What’s a favorite wine beverage of yours?
3. Favorite Whine? Anything you want to whine about or your favorite and/or recurring whine?
I like to whine about:
My blog migration
Not having enough time in the day to get everything done
I won’t say the weather because it’s nearly perfect in San Diego, but I know lots of you like to whine about winter weather
Money woes. We all whine about that, right?
Not getting enough sleep
What are some of your whines? All in all, I am a really upbeat person but it’s fun to just let your whines out, right!
See you later gang!
did get mah workout in today! power yoga was awesome. and i’m only 2 days til i finish my 30 day yoga challenge! yeahh! i’ve been doubling up! :)
my fave beverages: wine (red and white), cocktails like mojitos, club soda, water, almond milk and coffee.
i like to whine about: right now…mostly about trying to get a residency training. and of course money always comes up. esp bc i’m off to buenos aires in april!! :))
I like to whine about my schoolwork to anyone that will listen. It makes me feel better :)
Your pictures look incredible in this post!
thanks girl :) it’s been…a day. or a month or three. to get here :)
Loving the new site – damn I can’t believe you finally made the move! Tech stuff got to be such a headache that I just gave up on my blog haha (but I’ll be making a comeback soon, I’m getting a good camera and everything).
Whining- the cold, public transportation, the snow, paying bills (haha). Major, major whine: registering for classes is a BITCH. But I didn’t let any of that stop me from getting my workout on. I’m glad I have all kinds of free time right now, I can do at least an hour of Pilates every day and sometimes I hit the gym for cardio after.
well whenever you get back to blogging, i will be reading :)
loooove the new look! It’s so classy, just like you :)
I did not really exercise today, unless you count walking extreeemely quickly from my apartment to class and back, in 18 degree weather- about 1.5 miles round trip!
I’ve never had Veuve…but am desperate to try it! I have never been able to make the splurge, but I think I will get a bottle for graduating from grad school…in about a year and a half haha
welcome back! stay warm!
I LOVE Nicolas Feuillatte! Have you seen the 1/4 bottles? Too cute – My sis gave them as stocking stuffers two Christmases ago…perfection!
no never…my eyes will be on the lookout now tho!
No workout today. :-( Favorite wine–pinot noir. Current whine: snow.
pinot noir. have you seen the movie sideways? so good!
Love that movie! I am NOT drinking *%ck*ng Merlot! :-)
65 degree weather? You’re killing meeeeee! :)
I can imagine the stress you’re going through, hang in there! A little wine is always good for a stressful day.
Wow, those raw vegan cookies look great!
1. I’m about to head to the home gym, so yes. :-)
2. That I’m stuck working a 5 day week. :-P
I’m afraid to start whining or I might not be able to stop!
My fave wine lately has been chardonnay…something australian or californian would do the trick. I also occasionally buy the Black Box wine, cab sauv….but that’s too much of a commitment. I can’t drink 4 bottles worth of wine before it goes bad in a month. What’s that say about me? I just don’t drink a lot…but sometimes I think I should drink more!
I did yoga today at home, and trigger point therapy just because I like pain (or I have faith that it will be good for me in the long run).
I have to get used to reading your posts with a white background! It doesn’t “sound” like you yet! …but I love it :)
believe it or not the old site had a white background (center stripe) but the sides were purple…at least that is all GONE! :)
Yes I worked out today! I went to the gym and rocked out 3 miles. Now I’m home relaxing and stretching. Felt good!
Favorite wine? I’m really not a big wine drinker, give me a rum/coke any day, but I do like white zin — and yes we usually just get a box and keep it in the fridge :)
Favorite thing to whine about? Work, blog, FAMILY, having no time, having no spending money, etc, etc!
and you had a 2nd post up today…you’re coming back with a storm!
Ugh, my blog post yesterday was one big whine fest ;-)
i saw that post, just reading in stealth the past few :)
so much going on in my own lil world!
HI!!! omg love the champagne!! i once got drunk off champagne in college and it was the WORST hangover EVER! never again. These days I like a good champagne at an event or toasting something exciting!
my drink of choice is red wine, I usually have 1-2 glasses a week!
Holy Smokes! What a change – it’s awesome! Love the new site – your doing a great job :)
Now – your fridge …I’m a ‘lovin’ that…wine please?
And don’t fret about whining – you know me – money woes are on me 24/7. Blah.
thanks :)
I love this new layout! I used to try to browse your recipes before but the page took forever to load on my computer but these load much faster! Yay! Love your blog.
yay for faster loading!
I love red wine, especially Folonari Ripasso Valpolicella Classico Superiore 2006.
