Eats and Treats

Happy Hump day! Today is going to be a great day! Today is going to be a great day! If I keep saying it it will come true right!? Yesterday I wanted to slap every single person in the face.  That's every person in the entire world if you were confused.  That's where I was.  But today I found that those emotions were all thanks to TOM. Way to go TOM, always a pleasure to have you come to visit.  Anywho, I thought I'd share my eats as of late.  As you can see, they are all pretty simple and revolve around fruits and veg...AND CHEESE!! Omg, I have been eating so much stinking cheese.  Me and the queso section of Publix are such great friends- and by friends, I mean Frienemies.

I go through about a pound of cheese a week.  No shit, really. The hubs doesn't even get a chance to hit that up.  Hey, you snooze you lose! This week's selection is the smoked Gruyere and the horseradish cheddar.  Last week was 3 pepper Gouda, and Cream Havarti.  I can live off of cheese.  I make myself feel better by saying that its better than french fries, chips and candy... but is it Shaina, Is it?

I've been eating mostly salad and things that I know will go right through me.  My meals have been so weird some days.  I'll have cheese (of course), fruit, meat, and pickles.  People have wondered if I'm pregnant (and on that note, maybe Tom isn't so bad!). But I'm always satisfied.  After that sugar and white carb free diet, my pallet has definitely changed.  I went to Red Lobster for my birthday (Which was on September 1st so happy bday to me!) and I absolutely hated the food.  It was over saturated and just too much.  I asked for my salad on the side, I guess they thought that meant to drench my lettuce in this mayonnaise like dressing. Urgh, but that has just made me choose to eat more good stuff at home.  I made this creamy chicken soup yesterday! O...M...Stomach, it was the best ever.  Recipe on it's way for that!

And I've been expanding my reading genres.  I got into this Vampire book rut that I had to get out of.  I am doing more and more research for my novel and it wont include vampires. Well it might, but just that they exist in the world that my main character lives in.  That's about it. I really need to work on my plot outline but it is so hard to settle on what I want.  It's crazy that I wirte so much better and have more ideas when I am traveling.  I think its the feeling of stagnation that makes me get writers block, and being in a cycle of work, eat healthy, work, exercise, work, clean up, work, maybe hit the movies, work, watch netflix- it gets monotonous and harder to find a literary muse.  But I will make it happen.  I'm off to write while I am inspired!
