By the end of the work day today, I lost all motivation to go to the gym and seminar about eating local. The weather turned yucky and it started to downpour, and basically, I had no interest in tromping all over campus in the rain. I know, I’m a lazy bum for blowing it off. However, arriving home earlier than expected was well worth it! 
I walked into this scene in my apartment:
Mr. Mal was enjoying a lovely dinner from Wendy’s and I totally busted him! The look on his face was priceless! Before I even said a word about his meal choice, he says, “I didn’t think you’d be home until later!” He then says, “I feel like a bad dog that just pooped on the rug!” 
I honestly don’t care at all what Mal eats. Of course, I’d prefer him to eat healthy more often that not, but everyone is allowed to indulge in their favorite foods every now and then.
Mal’s reaction totally cracked me up and it immediately put me in a better mood. I actually went downstairs to the gym and ran 4 miles on the treadmill. I’m glad that I got my workout in after all!
Dinner
I was on my own for dinner tonight, so made use of some leftovers in the fridge to make a quick and easy Lavash Bread wrap.
Inside my wrap was Arugula-Pecan Pesto paste, a hard-boiled egg, and arugula to give it some volume.
The combo of ingredients was SOOOO delicious! Seriously, I will be making this wrap again in the near future! It was awe-some! 
I’m baking something that has the potential of being quite scrumptious! It’s making my apartment smell divine! I’ll tell ya guys about tomorrow– I’m off to veg-out in front of the boob-tube with my hubby.
Enjoy the night, blog friends!

I love the pesto pics! I was planning on making cilantro pesto tonight, but I think my ambition has reached its limits for the day. You had a great looking meal – better than Mr. Mal’s. Although, I’ll admit to craving Wendy’s frosties occasionally.
Ugh we are having great weather yesterday n today but i think starting tomrrow its rain galore again! I hate it when I complaint casue poeple always say oh but we need it why ther hell do we need so much rain for geez!
Heheheh I know how hubby feel I LOVE WENDYS just hide it from blog world!
That photo is so cute – my fiance loves his fast food on occasion too! Your wrap looks great too.
That look is priceless!! I didn’t have to read anything to know what had happened
I guess it works out good like this:
Tina has Barney + Mal has Wendy
That picture is hilarious! I found out that one time before work my boyfriend left earlier then usual and went to the BK drive through and then ate at his parents house, when his dad ratted him out his face looked just like Mal’s, but like you I don’t care if he indulges once in a while.
Hahaha I love that pic! They wendy’s action is too cute. We all gotta have our fix- whatever it may be- sometimes!
Pesto on lavash sounds fabulous! Glad you got a workout in, too
That photo is hilarious!! The fiance does the same thing!
HAHA!!! Love the photo of Mal with the Wendy’s “contraband”
I periodically get texts from the BF that say “I feel fat
” and then I get the low down on all the “bad” food. But the thing is, I like eating the bad food, too sometimes!!
Ok so I cracked up when I saw that pic! I immediately had to show the boy…once I came home for lunch unnanounced and found him eating pizza. He had the same look on his face! He laughed and said, “dude I know how u feel!” when I showed him this post!
Haha…I love the wendys picture. I’ll admit it…a frosty with fries is a heavenly thing sometimes.
I ended up getting in a run today too, despite it being rainy, cold and wet. I have a hard time motivating myself on days like this, but always feel great afterwards.
HAHA – BUSTED!! I had to talk my husband out of getting Burger Kind tonight and getting a fresh deli sandwhich instead. He said he got the sandwhich, but I’m not sure I 100% believe him….
I read Mal’s quotes out loud to my guy who totally cracked up. So funny and cute at the same time.
that’s so funny that you caught him! what a great picture
hope you enjoy your night in! the weather is gross here, too.
I love that you caught him! Too funny!
Enjoy your night together!
Hey! I just picked up your blog and wanted to give you a little shout out.
I love this picture because it reminds me of my own better half. I’ve walked in on him a few times with his face in a Wendy’s bag (it’s always on the nights when I am not home of course). Even after I set out something for dinner or explain all of the possibilites there are in the fridge/freezer, somehow he usually opts for the burger and fries. They are too cute to be mad at though.
Thanks for your great posts and have a great week!
Ha! Funny story! We had wraps for dinner too! YUM!
HAHAHA! That is to funny…what a perfect face.
That’s hilarious. I love Mal’s face in that picture. Mark doesn’t even hide his love for Wendy’s!
Wow, I love that picture! And your wrap for dinner looks delicious.
haha AW! That is hysterical, he looks so guilty. Poor Mal!
Glad you had a fun and happy ending to your day!
Hahaha you are right, that face is priceless!
too cute
Hehee that picture is so adorable. The bashful, guilty puppy look is EXACTLY what he’s displaying.
-E
Hey girl! I know you use the Ipod+ and so do I! I’m in the market for a new pair of running sneaks and was curious as to which ones you use because I want to continue to use my ipod+ but not sure what sneaks are good for running…thanks
I totally now that look from when my dog’s have eaten something they’re not supposed to! TOO FUNNY!
This was hilarious, Tina. I love your blog and posts like tonights totally crack me up and keep me coming back for more.
HAHAH his expression even LOOKS like that of a dog who pooped on the rug. That’s too funny.
hahah Mal is too funny! His face is priceless
That wrap looks fabulous.. I will definitely be trying that combo soon!
Hahahahaha! That pic of Mal is priceless!
that sandwich looks devine, I love pesto!
Do you order those lavash wraps online, or can you find them in stores? Also, do you think they’re worth ordering online?
haha, that picture is priceless. that is so something my hubby would do.
isnt it crazy how quickly our moods can change? Good for you, tina
Caroline-i can answer that question about the lavash wraps! i live on the east coast as well and find them at stop and shop. i think they are pretty cheap and are worth it-although they do break sometimes-but they are PERFECT for pizzas and are HUGE!
I actually just bought arugula yesterday! I can’t wait to make some unique things with it… I never thought of pesto!
Hahhahah!!
(I realize we forgot our phone meeting – let me know if you have time this week or Sunday?)
haha That is hilarious!! Love that picture and that would so be me.
@Julie: I actually don’t use the Nike + iPod anymore (mine died a few months ago), but I know you can buy a little “egg” holder that velcros onto any pair of sneakers (onto the shoelaces). You can usually buy them at most sporting stores. Hope this helps!
@Caroline: I found mine at Stop & Shop, too. They were in the deli section with the other pitas and wraps.
That is too funny! My mom actually does that because she promised me to eat healthier so I have to crack the whip. haha I already let her get away with the cheesecake she buys for herself ONLY! =P
Hahaha. That cracked me up! MY husband does the same thing when he thinks i’ll be gone.
The egg in your wrap makes it look SO good! SO cute about Mal, he is like a kid who attacked the cookie jar when Mommy goes out! His fries look goooooooood. Glad you got your workout in!
That photo is priceless. When Charlie gets caught red handed he too has a similar look on his face.
When I’m out or not expected home…I always find out that my husband had a wendy’s chicken sandwich…it’s his “treat” to himself when I’m not around!
Haha! Oh, Mal. I have seen that face on my boyfriend a few times as well
That’s too funny!
Haha, that’s totally something my husband would do. Priceless!
hahahahha that is hilarious!
Glad to know others feel overwhelmed with blogging sometimes too! Thank you for leaving that comment- it made me feel much better!
hahaha.. that pic of Mal is so cute!!
My dh and I are the most mis-matched couple in the world when it comes to eating. The other day he ate pop tarts, popcorn, and cereal for breakfast/lunch. That’s it.
