Day 276 is brown-bagging it, sorta

I try, often unsuccessfully, to bring lunch to work. It usually doesn't happen, unless I get it ready the night before. Hence, the "often unsuccessful" part. The lunches I pack tend to be healthier and obviously cheaper. This week I'm trying to manage my time well and get things done. And I'm starting with lunch. How can I not want to pack a lunch when it's in my adorable lunch bag?

Day 252 is so full

I had a marathon day of designing on Friday. Marathon. 7am - 3am. It's a miracle I remembered to eat amidst all that madness, but I remembered and thanks to delivery.com, didn't even have to leave the apartment and stop designing to get some lunchies. Mmmm.

Day 237 is a green monster

I got a little adventurous with my lunch decision today. I've been having a hard time finding a pre-work lunch that isn't heavy (aka. Makes me want a nap), but isn't so light that i'm hungry 45 seconds later. I settled on some pad thai followed by a green tea smoooooooothie. (You have to say it like that, with all the 'o's. It makes the world a better place). Here's an aerial view of my smooooooooothie. Yum!

Day 234 goes out to lunch

My mom met me on my lunch break today and we ate outside at Shady Brook Farm. It was a little windy, but so sunny and a perfect temperature. And look at those clouds! Shady Brook is about a two minute drive from my office and offers a nice break from being indoors. More days like today, please.

Also, TODAY FELT LIKE AUTUMN!

Day 215 in the (215)

This is wallpaper! I grabbed a quick lunch at McCaffrey's with my mom today. I was kind of obsessed with their wallpaper. It changed colors depending on the light. I'm a fan of most things shiny. Not sure if I could live with this particular pattern, but I sure don't mind visiting it!

[Sidenote: Today's title is a shoutout to my area code :)]

Day 191 shines a little light

This afternoon my mom and I ate lunch outside on our patio. To keep away the bugs, she lit some citronella candles and put them in these pretty votive holders. It felt like we were at a nice cafe, but cheaper and more convenient!

Day 13 Loves the Diner

I love a good diner. Even a crappy diner is better than some soggy cheeseburger or the McRib. This is the Ewing Diner, where I went to lunch today with my mom. They give you an insane amount of food. Like to the point where I'd love to sneak in a scale someday to prove their beef stir fry does indeed weigh 28 lbs. There is something magical about a ten page menu serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner at all hours of the day. Where else can you get an omelette, lobster tails, or moussaka 24 hrs. a day, besides your dreams?

A cup of Day 4 Noodles

I'm unashamed in my love for cup noodles. Delicious noodle meal made in only 3 minutes (!) in a tasty broth that could sorta maybe kinda taste like chicken (if chicken tasted like sodium and yellow dye). Plus (!) - and this is a major selling point - vegetables. At least 3 peas, 4 carrots and if you're lucky some not-quite-cooked corn. WIN. Sign me up, baby!

ps. this was my lunch today. laziness + college loans = instant lunch! yummmm
