Good evening, all! Normally, I’d just be turning off my HRM from a sweaty BodyCombat class…. That’s my preferred Monday exercise of choice. Today, alas, I’m on call and BodyPump is really the only fitness class I can take with my phone on hand (translation: the only class that I’m not so drenched in sweat as I kick, punch, or zumba my booty off with the music blasting in my ears where I can hear or see my phone.) So I took today to run some errands… which was partially successful. The drive-thru ATM at the bank wasn’t accepting checks, but other than that, I:
- Dropped a package off at UPS
- Picked up some goodies at the store for a package
- Packed that package!
I promise, the knife has nothing to do with this package.
Oooh, I also just recently got a package that I’m pretty stoked for….
Oooh, what's that?
More about that at another time. The real topic of the day is something that I just learned about myself.
I think I might be a secret hoarder (of snacks). A coworker gave me something to put in one of my drawers, and that’s when it hit me.
Triscuits Thin Crisps in Quattro Formaggio (deadly addictive, never ever get them) and Odwalla Protein Bars
In our next shelf?
Adora Calcium Disks in Dark Chocolate
Across the office (i.e. over a desk that isn’t even my own:
Two of my cereals from Attune Foods! (Not pictured: my favorite Uncle Sam)
Need a mid-day pick-me up?
Trashy mags and Coke Zero!
Ok, I’ll admit, that last picture was staged. If I’m going to have soda, OBVIOUSLY I’d put it in the fridge (and truly, I am mandated by my job to have tons of media all around me, which actually means that sometimes… I make a workday out of perusing those trashy mags!)
I scatter my goodies throughout my office (didn’t even take a shot of my dried cranberries in the refrigerator or the gum in my purse). That way, no matter what, if I forget a snack or lunch, I should be okay. Often, I also keep a can of soup or sandwich thins in the drawers (but you caught me on an off day.)
I promise, I don’t hoard all my things like a thieving magpie (at least not regularly) but something about the amount of drawers and cabinets in my office just brings out the nester in me. It’s like I’m ready for anything (as long as anything = a hunger pang… or a trip to the hair salon or the waiting room at the doctor.) Now it’s time to use my hoard of goodies in the fridge and try to find something for dinner! The beau’s talking pork chops…. Let’s see how that goes.
Do you keep snacks at work or by your desk? If so, which snacks?
