Smoothie Bowls and 5QF!

Yesterday was a day that will change my life forever… I experienced my first smoothie bowl a la Julie from PB Fingers. I make smoothies all of the time, but this was the first time I used frozen fruit and it makes a world of a difference. It was like a bowl of ice cream, so yummy!

I could probably give up eating real ice cream and just play around with different variations of this. I used frozen strawberries and peaches and fresh blueberries with a splash of almond milk. Julie always uses xantham gum in her smoothies to make them thicker and I need to try it next time. Trust me, smoothie bowls don’t disappoint!

After we enjoyed our huge bowl of smoothie, Munchkin and I worked on an extra special art project for his godparents since both of their birthdays were this week. Happy Birthday Patricia and Paul!

One day he will learn that crayons are for coloring and not for eating. I seriously can’t turn my head for a minute while he’s using them because they go right in his mouth. Thank god they’re non-toxic!

After Tommy got home from work and getting his haircut (he looks so sexy), we went to get sushi. We haven’t had sushi since before Tommy went to Poland so it was a nice change.

I love the way the sushi chef always plates the sushi and make it look so pretty.

We were planning on going to see Transformers after dinner because my mom agreed to stay with Munchkin, but the movie is almost three hours long! Since it started at 8pm we wouldn’t have gotten home until midnight and since Tommy had to be up at 5am, that wasn’t an option.

Is it just me, but when a movie is over two hours long, it kind of turns me off from wanting to see it. I feel like if I don’t like it, sitting there for three hours will seem like an eternity. I have heard good things about Transformers though, so I still want to see it. We watched some Wipeout instead because that show entertains me to no end. I would love to go on it, it looks like so much fun!

Now since it is Friday, it’s time for Five Question Friday!

1. Do you think cursive writing is overrated? (Schools in Indiana have now voted to take teaching cursive writing out of their curriculum.)

I don’t think I’ve used cursive since grade school and even my signature is more of a squiggle than cursive, so I don’t know. For me personally, it is overrated because I spent so much time learning and practicing it as a kid and I don’t even use it. But, I don’t know how I feel if my child’s school decided to stop teaching it.

2. Do you still use a pocket calendar or notepad or do you keep your info on your smart phone?

I use a pocket calendar, especially for school. Although I use my phone for almost everything, there’s something about having a written calendar that makes me feel more organized. I love Moleskine planners and am ordering a new one for my next semester.

3. What 3 things would you save if your house was burning down? (family & pets are already safe)

Probably my laptop because it has all my pictures, and all the pictures of Munchkin since birth. I feel like everything else is material and could be replaced, but pictures are memories that are irreplaceable.

4. Country Mouse or City Mouse, err Person?

While I have been a total City Mouse my whole life and when I was younger, I never thought I would be able to leave the city. After having Munchkin and thinking about raising a family, I would not want to raise them in the city. I want to have a big yard with a pool and I want to feel okay with letting my kids run around the neighborhood. I don’t think I could ever be a total Country Mouse, but I can see myself being a Suburb Mouse.

5. If you could pick ANY reality show to go on, which would you pick?

When I was younger I always wanted to go on the Real World on MTV, but lately when I catch the show, the people on there seem so trashy, getting plastered and hooking up with everyone. Maybe I’m just getting old. I think I would like to be on Dancing with the Stars. I would looove to learn how to ballroom dance and the contestants always end up looking amazing after practicing dancing for all those weeks. With my luck, I’d get voted off the first week.
