Oy. Another stressful work day. But it flew by like Conan’s run on The Tonight Show. (Sorry, I heart you Conan).
The next few weeks are going to be incredibly insane at work, but the stuff I’m doing is pretty important and that makes it worth it. Being busy doing work that doesn’t seem to matter is a lot worse.
Anywho, I still have veggie paella coming out my ears, so I had s’more for lunch today.
I put some hot sauce on top after I took that picture. I was getting bored of it, and the spice really took it to another delicious level. I have one more tupperware of it left, and then no more paella.
I munched on three-fourths of a Clif Builder’s bar at the movie last night, so I had the remaining one-fourth today to tide over my sweet tooth.
An later on, I had a blooby Chobz, just because I could 
Oh, and I also crunched my way through an apple. It was a snacky day I guess!
Okay, so it’s only twenty-five days into the New Year and I’m already starting to forget about my New Year’s Resolution. I started out with a bang by challenging myself to left weights more and doing fairly well at it, but the last week and a half has been pretty lame.
So this week is Operation Monday through Friday. The goal here is to challenge myself to get my booty to the gym Monday through Friday (um, pretty obvious sorry) so that if I choose to be a lazy ass this weekend (which has been the trend of late) it will be warranted.
Along with that challenge, I’m also going to embark upon Operation Hand Wash My Dishes. This is in an effort to be more green and also to cut down on my electric bill somewhat. I tend to rely on the dishwasher way too much, when really I am the only person dirtying dishes in my apartment and there’s no reason I can’t hand wash them.
So that’s that. As you can see, those are some pretty technical and complex operations. It’s going to take a lot of hard work, dedication and perserverance. But I think I can do it 
Do you hand wash your dishes? I’m a little nervous about not getting them clean enough for some reason. I’m going to give it a try though!
my fam’s weird, we wash the crap off, adn tehn we use the dishwasher to disinfect it! =D
and that clif builder bar is teh best flavor…close run in is the chocolate mint, which is a thin mint’s steroid pumping cousin.
I am not good about hand washing my dishes AT ALL. Mike and I were actually talking last night about how we couldn’t live without a dishwasher. Oops. Lol.
Just a heads up, you actually save water when you use the dishwasher over hand washing your dishes. Also, you will always get the cleaner dishes from the dishwasher!!
yummm that veggie paella looks like it would be pretty tough to get sick of!!! good luck with your crazy and stick to your weight lifting plan: you can do it!! (said in that creepy voice from Rush Hour)
i do hand wash my dishes, even though i have a dishwasher, b/c i’m a neat freak and want things clean right away. but ive ready that it may not be more eco-friendly to run a dishwasher – even half empty – it’s a “controversial” topic:

I hate washing dishes … well actually once I start I don’t mind it … but I hate getting started. We use a dishwasher, but we only need to run it once every 2-3 days. My hubby washes the things that can’t be put in the dishwasher.
mm the paella looks great!!! good luck with your operation
hope your booty gets to the gym!
I love hand washing my dishes, then they can air dry and just when you need them, they’re sitting there in the sink!
Don’t worry about not getting them clean, just give em a good scrub and you’ll be more then fine!
i eat during movies too! whatd u think of that bar? i thought it was AIGHT. love the blueberry chobani! yummay!
Actually, hand-washing dishes are much cleaner. Don’t worry about it! I hand-wash all the time, I’ve never dish-washed before. Not really because of environmental issues, but because it’s costly!
ah i know exactly what you mean!! i am always worried if i hand wash my dishes then i will miss a spot or something. love eating in movies and i looove blueberry chobani too

I had to hand wash my dishes for 2 years since we didnt have a dishwasher in sweden. its really not that bad, just make sure to put them on a rack so they can dry properly.
hot sauce makes everything taste better!
When I lived alone last year I always hand-washed mostly because I didn’t have a lot of bowls and plates. Now that I live with my friend, we never hand-wash. I actually enjoyed it at the time. I never took as long as I thought it would.
I had always heard that handwashing and using the dishwasher used about the same amount of water and energy. In my current apartment, I have a dishwasher, and I couldn’t live without it. I have lived in places without dishwashers before, and it is a pain!! Plus, the dishwasher makes me feel like the dishes are squeaky clean!
ha, yes I handwash – we have no other option! NO dishwasher in our house
i feel ya on the NY resolutions…i feel like we all need a reminder! i have no dishwasher, hand wash all my dishes and you will be just fine. if anything, its the laziness that will get in the way
like it does for me everyday!!!!
We hand-rinse our dishes, but I loooooove my dishwasher. Just can’t give it up!
Those cliff builder bars are so yummy and SUPER filling. LOVE~!
Ugh – I am so lazy and NEVER handwash my dishes! I really should; I use my dishwasher like crazy!
I love the blueberry Chobs; I hardly ever eat yogurt but when I do, it’s blueberry Chobs!
