Hey! How are you guys?! I had a great, but busy day. I spent a good part of my day working of stuff for my part-time job and the other part of my day caring for my Pa. It was brought to my attention after I left my mom and dad’s house that my Pa managed to eat four cupcakes without me knowing in the five and a half hours I spent taking care of him. Even though he has Alzheimer’s and barely knows who I am, the guy can still pull one over on me, I guess. It is things like that, that make me laugh and not feel so sad about his condition. It’s the little things in life

Breakfast this morning was a fried egg, veggie “bacon” and laughing cow sandwich on a whole wheat bagel thin with a clementine. How excited are you guys that it is clementine season again?! I love clementines!!!

I guess I was in the mood for sandwiches today because that is what I had for lunch too. I had turkey, spinach, goat cheese and red pepper spread on whole wheat pressed panini style with apple slices.

Dinner was pretty simple, but awesome. This morning at 7am I whipped together some ingredients to make a huge batch of spaghetti sauce and turkey meatballs. I put it all in my crockpot and let it cook for 8 hours. I am loving my crockpot lately. I love a sauce that cooks all day and the crockpot makes that so easy. I had whole wheat angel hair with sauce and two turkey meatballs topped with reduced fat parmesan cheese.

Around 7pm I met two friends at Panera for coffee. I had a long day and chatting with friends made for a great end to my day. I had a cup of coffee with half and half and my friend Nathalie and I split a bearclaw.

Superstitions:

Well, tomorrow is the first of the month, which means I will be spending my night reminding myself to say “Rabbit, Rabbit” FIRST thing tomorrow morning. I seriously ALWAYS forget and then I am convinced I will have bad luck for the rest of the month. This month, I feel like I could really use the good luck. For those of you unaware of this superstition, saying “Rabbit, Rabbit” first thing when you get out of bed on the first of every month you will have good luck all month long.

This all got me thinking about my other superstitions. I realized I am a pretty superstitious person. For example, instead of someone wishing me “Good Luck” it has to be “Break a Leg”, whether it’s in relation to a race or interview or what have you. This stems from my 10 years as a theater actress. In theater saying “Good Luck” is actually bad luck and “Break a Leg” is good luck. In case you are wondering I will also NOT say the name “Macbeth” in a theater either. That is a HUGE theater superstition.

I also have an eyelash superstition. If an eyelash of mine falls out I have to blow it off my finger and make a wish. If the eyelash doesn’t blow away in one breathe, it means I won’t get my wish.
