Life in Slow Motion
I’m in slow motion this morning. Wouldn’t it be nice to climb back into bed and sleep the day away? 
One can dream, right?
My morning oats were a blend of banana, blueberries, vanilla hemp milk, and ground flaxseed meal, topped with two spoonfuls of peanut butter. (I may need to breakdown and buy more Barney Butter. I miss that wonderful stuff!)
Lunch Preview
For lunch today, I have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on whole wheat, carrot sticks, cottage cheese mixed with crushed pineapple, and a Lemon Zest Luna Bar. I’m a dork, but I am already looking forward to lunch today!
Support Me in the MS Walk
A family member of mine was recently diagnosed with MS, which is why I registered for Walk MS, a 6 mile walk through Cambridge, MA on Sunday, April 5, 2009. I hope that you will support my fund raising efforts. Any amount, great or small, helps to make a difference in the lives of people with MS. I appreciate your support and look forward to letting you know how I do.
MS stops people from moving. The National MS Society exists to make sure it doesn’t. Please consider donating to this cause.

Randomness in my fridge: a tub of red miso (why do they sell this in such large containers?!), a few Harpoon Winter Warmer beers leftover from New Years because neither John nor I really liked it (gotta get rid of these), about 5 different varieties of yogurts – a staple for me!

Kath — March 9, 2009 @ 7:38 am
We must eat BB at the same rate, because I’m scraping the bottom of my jar
I need to just get more too – it’s one of life’s greatest pleasures. It’s funny how we can go out to dinner and get a $10 glass of wine without thinking twice, but we ‘fight’ ourselves to spend $8 on a jar of almond butter that we will savor for weeks and love every bite!
Also, your oats look sooo good this morning! I need to get hemp milk again. it’s been since the fall since I’ve had it!

Have a fabulous day
Hallie — March 9, 2009 @ 10:19 am
I don’t know if I have anything too random, but:
1. orange-maple syrup
2. Sam Adams Oktoberfest beer (BF’s fave)
3. beet greens (that have probably gone bad by now…hmm)
Meg — March 9, 2009 @ 10:29 am
Currently in my fridge:
1. Half a jamba juice from last week
2. 12 avocados (my crazy roomate found a sale)
3. Three month old chik’n strips.
But I have the solution to your BB problem. Here’s what you do: find a pretty jar and label it “Barney Butter Fund” (decoration optional). Whenever you find extra change in your pocket/bottom of purse/under couch cushions, stick it in there. Pretty soon, it adds up, and you’ll be able to afford it every other week or so!
(I love this trick. I started it because I couldn’t afford FAGE anymore, and I love it so much it was cruel to deprive myself:)
Meg — March 9, 2009 @ 10:31 am
organic ketchup, tofu, vanilla soy dream

1. Numerous yogurts of differing brands
