Clutter Queen Hates to Clean

I dreamt of a day filled with nothing for months on end as I crammed for exams, typed my little hands off and dragged my tush to class. Now that my days are filled with nothing, I am itching for something to do! Don’t get me wrong, I’m not ready for actual work. Oh no…no no no. I’m just waiting for some things to fall in place i.e. the AllieBar project and securing the not-in-stock-anywhere-in-the-world camera. In the mean time, I’m just dawdling around, munching, baking more goodies to munch, and looking up recipes to bake and then to munch.

Today, I actually have something to do. Much to my dismay, it’s my most hated task: Cleaning. We have to clean the house for a prospective buyer. Oof…double oof. I hate cleaning. I hate cleaning more than anything in the world. As you know, I am a total pack rat. I’m also a clutter queen. I’ll spare you the details but let’s just say my room is the complete opposite of feng shui. In fact, if feng shui were alive, it would probably suffocate and kill feng shui in a mere 12 seconds.

Back to yesterday because somehow I got super behind. You know, from doing nothing and all….

I had been craving veggie juice for weeks….WEEKS! So I pulled out our Jack LaLanne juicer to make a delectable potion. My desire for juice seems to mask any memory of how much of a pain it is the clean this machine. Once again, I vowed never to use this machine ever again….until I forget about the cleaning part.

I used 2 giant carrots, ~3 cups of spinach, and 1/2 a grapefruit. I know, all that for 1/2 a glass?! Yeppers.

Served with a slice of millet bread with pumpkin butter swirled Greek yogurt.

While I engaged in further intellectual stimulation, I had not one but TWO AllieBars. When will I get sick of these??

I munched on 4 squares of white chocolate with almonds pre-workout. There are whole almonds in this bar…not chopped up bits that you can barely taste.

I managed to hit up the gym for 50 min. on the elliptical while watching Oprah.

Dinner #1:

Whole grain wrap with scrambled eggs (1 whole + 1 white), cheese, and grape tomatoes.

All wrapped up.

A couple hours later, I had dinner #2 with the rents. My dad made spinach with shrimpies.

And scrambled eggs with chopped green beans.

I had about 1/2 the spinach (!!!) with ~10 shrimpies and maybe 1/5 of the green bean dish.

For dessert, I had a mini AOL rice krispie treat that my mom brought back.

More white chocolate with almonds and 3 Super Charge Me Cookies!! I made these with dried cranberries and sunflower seeds. Now I know what the fuss is about. All I can say is WOW. I sure cleaned these up!

Off to clean now….maybe
