woooo hoooo it’s friiiiday night! and i just just juuuuust got paid!
were you and nsync-er or a bsb-er? i was a mayjah bsb groupie. like scream your pants off, cry when you found out brian littrell was engaged, decorate your car on the way to the concert, and sleep outside of the wiz with deej and your besties for tickets kind of groupie.
i did get paid today. normally i would be all woop wooped about that. but upon opening my check and seeing the amount i realized that those snow days we had off were not friends with my paycheck.
…or my need for pants.
it’s a good thing i didn’t need pants to get a good workout in this morning.

scuplting my legs made me realize i do need to add more then two pairs of pants to my professional clothing wardrobe..
hence why i wore a “shirt dress” and boots to work today.
ever where something and you’re really self conscious about the length?
not much you can do about it when you shower and dress at the gym
series of facial expressions about the realization of potential clothing party fail
crap my shirtdress is really short, sballs i could get fired, eh! then i’ll have more time to blog..
actually the last picture was a combo of the potential for more time to blog and eating cookie dough for breakfast.
1/3c oatbran cooked in 1 2/3c water + 1/4c egg beaters slowly mixed in, 1 container of plain chobz & 1/2 serving of gnc cookies n cream protein powder
breakfast alongside my victoria’s secret “lunchbox”
…how come they never offered those in the plastic form? i probs would have chosen that over power rangers or fraggle rock anyday.
wow i’m rambling. by the way. i’m glad we’ll all be friends even though i will continue to post at random times. i love you guys.
by the way i also used to and kind of still do have issues with saying “i love you” so when i say it i mean it ;)
by the way i’m still afraid to let my co-workers know i have a blog so pictures of work food come in creepy blackberry ghetto style fotos and horrid 10:30pm lighting in my creepy kitchen
lunch included chobani soup literally it was soup with added cinnamon, some homemade protein bars, veggies, laughing cow & a pear.
my mazel of the week?
my friday night meals.
the good thing about a long commute home is that you have a long time to think up crazy and quick dinners.
egg scramble anyone? broccoli slaw, brocks, red peppers, shroomies, eggplant, carrots, onions, 1/2c egg beaters, 3 jumbo egg whites all sauteed up in water, chili powder, cumin & garlic powder with some braggs, laughing cow & tjs cilantro and jalapeno hummus on top.
yum.
housewives + popcorn = friday night success.
…there might be some chocolate cheerios tossed in that mix..
…who needs pants anyways.
questions!
1. bsb or nsync?
2. did you have a plastic lunchbox when you were young? if so what kind?
3. do your coworkers know about your blog? do you take pictures in front of them? or how did you tell them about it? deets!
i’ve got an early bird cardio sesh, work at the gym, paper writing, bridal shower invitation shopping, and friend hangout-age tomorrow! enjoy your night loverz.

I used to LOVE that N'Sync song. I actually don't think I can answer #1 because I like them both too much. Sad, I know.
1. BSB
2. Strawberry Shortcake and Dukes of Hazard
3. I just revealed to some of my co-workers this week about the blog. they loved it! It came up because of the weird products I was bringing in. It feel within natural convo.
1. NSYNC -- all the way!
2. Little Ponies (first grade)
3. My co-workers do not know about the blog and due to that I don't take pictures at work.
Have a great weekend!
BSB... they were a REAL band :)
Don't remember the lunch box...
My coworkers don't know, other than my friend who I knew beforehand and the once time she said "I was reading your blog" in front of someone I got all nervous because I feel like when you think of a blog you think of a lame livejournal for emo rants, haha. I don't take pictures in front of my coworkers because I don't know how to explain without sounding weird so I take my pics at home when I make my lunch!
housewives + popcorn = friday night success. AMEN to that girl.
I have em on dvr.
I am still just so in love with your last post. Ive been thinking about it all day. Others say all the time what their life situation is,etc and why they need to cut back on blogging but I just think you nailed it. I blog for fun and this shouldnt stress me out or add to life stress. I need to keep repeating that mantra.
Bora bora. Yes. Correct. No protein and there's sugar. I dont care about sugar but if you do, not really a great bar for that. funny to pawn your rejects off on sis. I do it to hubs :)
1. NSync
2. LLBean, no plastic here :)
3. I've only started talking about it at work over the last week or so. It's tough because you dont know what they'll think. But, now, i'm loud and proud:)
I was a BSBer all the way! Ugh, I always had those gross cloth lunchboxes that you had to wash whenever you spilled stuff in them. They smelled perennially of blueberry yogurt, which I hated. No one outside of momsy and popsicle knows about the blog!
HAHA you watch "Watch what happens" on Bravo! I love andy =) AND The Real Housewives!
Dude those pics had me cracking up! I love your sense of humor...oh did you notice that I dropped the "L" bomb!
I am an NSYNC girl all the way
1) Nsyc solely because of JT :)
2) I think so, don't remember
3) I don't really have coworkers, but it took a while to open up to my classmates. Once I competed in my 1st fitness competition and there were photos all over the place of me basically naked, I figured there was no longer and point of being embarrassed or keeping anything secret :p
I loved BOTH BSB and N'sync. And yes, I was heartbroken when Brian Littrell got engaged.
I was rockin' the paper bag lunch when I was younger. Apparently we were wasteful
A couple of my friends know about the blog and I just act like it's totally normal to take pics of food lol
1. No opinion! Haha!
2. I was a lands end type girl!
3. My friends do not know--only my BF/family!!
Amen, WHO NEEDS PANTS? haha. (Pants on the ground, pants on the ground...)
<3 jess
xoxo
NYSNC ALL THE WAY BABAYYYY!!!
BYE BYE BYEEE!
chobani soup?! ahhh why was it soupy!!
i was a swinger and loved both nsync and bsb. i def had several plastic lunchboxes, but have somehow repressed the memory of what they had on them, sad! and i don't work (besides volunteering) and i actively try to make sure nobody in my real life know sabout my blog!!
I think there is an unspoken rule about appropriate lengths of shirt dresses and I have no idea what it is. I always feel awesome rocking my shirt/dress, then suddenly feel very akward. Lol.
1. bsb or nsync? BSB. Proud of it. Kinda.
2. did you have a plastic lunchbox when you were young? if so what kind? Rainbow Brite!
3. do your coworkers know about your blog? do you take pictures in front of them? or how did you tell them about it? deets!I would feel akward because my blog is...eh, not much to be proud of. Lol. I don't need them to have their suspicions of my inner craziness confirmed :P
I'm pretty sure I COULD NOT focus on your post and just kept singing, "Pants on the ground" to myself. Wow.
The maybe this is too short moment has happened to me plenty of times in the workplace. A product of being tall I'm sure. Luckily I work with all men so they never really care ;)
I was all about n'sync and went to 3 of their concerts. I did have a lunch box and it's M&Ms decorated. My co-workers do not know and will never know about my blog. It's too personal and my outlet.
There's nothing worse than not feeling comfortable in the clothes you wear to work. Ugh...
My co workers do know about my blog. Well, the ones I work directly with, anyways. They're pretty cool about it!
1. Neither really but if I had to pick it would be N'Sync.
2. Little Mermaid all the way!!! :D
3. Well, I don't have coworkers but my family and friends know about it and I when I take pics in front of them I just say it's for the blog and they shake their heads. Whatev!!!
I totally think I had a fragglerock lunchbox as a kid, and maybe rainbow brite. Hmmm, I know we had some holly hobby sheets and a rainbow brite sleeping back. I hope your dress length ending up being ok. I never had that problem because I am so short, unless I buy children's clothes (yes, sometimes I do) then sometimes too short.
As for my blog, my coworkers do, but since I live overseas, mainly my home friends and family look at it and not too many people here.
1. bsb or nsync? n*sync baybee!! whoop whoop! I was a JC girl
2. did you have a plastic lunchbox when you were young? if so what kind? I had a 90210 lunch box in 5th grade. I was awesome.
3. do your coworkers know about your blog? do you take pictures in front of them? or how did you tell them about it? deets! No and No!
I cracked up at the title of this post! I'm glad you still have your job haha!
I was a BBMak girl. Don't know what that says about me. Those Brits had it goin' on though.
PS - I just watched NY Housewives. OMG Ramona is crazy as ever. I love it already.
Amazing eats!
Loved the pictures... Haha ;)
Have a great Saturday, Julie!
Brazilian XOXO´s,
Gabriela
i'm pretty sure I had justin timberlake posters adorning my bedroom walls 'til I was like.. 18. N'Sync rocked my worldddd.
p.s. pants are totes underrated.
p.p.s. you are too gorge for your own good.
muah!
haha totally bsb all the way! I even had a large binder with all their photos lol I was a big nick fan. I think I did have one of those plastic lunch boxes, I loved taking my lunch! Some coworkers know about the blog, but definitely not my boss hopefully :/ Have a good weekend! Do you have the protein bar recipe?? I love trying new bars and I'll have to try the maca on popcorn :)
hey hey girlfriend. Boy, have I missed your blogggg! I cannot wait to catch up on Real Housewives! I saw Bethany on the news this morning doing a cooking demo and got super excited! Sorry to hear about your pants issues! Mine are usually related to my pants being way too long! haha. I liked both Nsync and BSB. I think I was more an Nsync-er though! Hope the weekend is treating you well. I have no idea how I'm going to catch up on blogs- yikes!
Ohman. The shirt dress? I've so been there. I dress at the gym now too, which means I pack my clothes in my bag the night before. Most mornings I get to work and just think to myself "what the eff was I thinking when I packed this???" I need to start trying things on at home first before I put them in the bag!!! :P
1. Neither - Spice Girls!
2. I'm pretty sure I had a Care Bears one, and a Rainbow Brite one.
3. No, but I work in communications, where I need to maintain a professional public profile. But I've started applying for web jobs where I say I have a blog in my cover letter, as I know the experience might give me an edge!
Hope you're having a rad weekend!!
1. bsb all the way, though I think JT is cooler himself than both bands put together!
2. I remember a Strawberry Shortcake lunch box, the others I don't
3. One coworker knows, the rest don't. My office mate sees me taking pics all the time, and for months I keep saying, "I might start a food blog someday..." hahah...
Why do you think we're afraid to go 'public' with our blogs?
I don't think I could hide the fact that I have a blog, even if I tried. I mean, it's pretty much part of my job, and I basically talk about it with everyone! You should tell your co-workers, they would think you are sooo cool. I mean, not only do you have a VS "lunch box" but also a food blog! how cool! I think those bags would make a good lunch bag, I love that you do that. I had a Minnie Mouse lunch box as a kid, until it slipped out of my hands one day when I was biking to school, and it fell down the sewer :(
I was into N'Sync more than BSB. For sure.
1. This is embarrassing, but when I was 9 my friends and I used to go into BSB chatrooms on AOL and write "N*SYNC IS BETTER!" then sign off.
2. I had a Little Mermaid pink lunchbox. It was pretty hot.
3. Two of my coworkers know, but only one reads. I take the photos in the morning before I leave, or in my office before I bring it to the fridge so I don't have to worry about snapping them in front of everyone.
I liked them both, but BSB is totally where its at! I just found out they are going to be in ATL this June, I just may have to go for old times sake.
Growing up I always wanted a cool lunchbox, but my mama just made me brown bag it...sad :(
Not many people know about my blog yet...I still get a little self-conscious about my picture taking, but I'm slowly getting over it.
Hope you had a great weekend!
umm SO nsync! I met them too onetime...ahh I love looking back at that picture of when I met them! I need to find it and post it on the blog!
I just did the brown paper bag thing, never was the hard case lunch boxer, just either brown bag or at one time I had a real bag one that was pink with polka dots ahh the good ole days! now I have a lunch bag too that I bring to work!
awesome leg sculpting workout my dear xoxoxox
my co workers do NOT know about my blog nad I dont publicise it on my facebook or anything, I think its just better that the two stay separate ya know? why bring it up when its not necessary? I only work with one other gal, and we switch shifts, so all of my picture taking happensa lone, when the gym is quiet so no one really sees
I was an NSYNC-er all the way! I went to their concerts twice and loved it. Hubba hubba to Housewives and popcorn! Perf combo!
Brown bagger! I wasn't eco-friendly back in the day, obv. Did you watch LOST yet?! Hope you're enjoying your break!!
i say god damn, i missed you.
i know i never comment but, ive been reading for quite some time now ( cant comment at work tho :( ) and i just have to say i love your self portraits on the way to work! they make my day. your witty posts make me laugh.
NSYNC all the way! :)
