I finally took my dying Macbook to the Apple Store genius bar today. Remember when the mouse and keyboard stopped working? Yeah, I put this off for nearly a month! I was afraid I’d have to shell out my entire life savings so…I just let it sit in the corner and hoped it would fix itself (it didn’t).
My friend Maggie sent this bag to me in the mail because she knows my favorite veggie is the eggplant!
So if you were at the Apple Store today and saw a girl with wet, straggly hair, wearing a sweatshirt + spandex, carrying a big bold I <3 Veggies shopping bag on her shoulder…that was me.
At least it was waterproof so my stuff stayed dry in the pouring rain.
Thankfully the genius saved my laptop (AGAIN)! It was a software problem so I didn’t lose any information, thank goodness.
This Macbook must have nine lives. I’m not sure how many more saves this Macbook has left before it dies for real though.
My uncle tagged along to buy the iPad 2 for his brother, except they were out of stock. I wasn’t aware the iPad 2 was still in such demand! We played around a bit while we waited for the genius to work his magic…
LLE on an iPad 2!
I’m obsessed with this photo recipe app.
Of course, we went to Trader Joe’s afterwards so I could pick up some goods.
- Brown Rice Cakes
- Champagne Vinaigrette <–new!
- SSB!
- Just Mango Slices <–LOVE
- Chocolate Covered Sunflower Seeds <–DOUBLE LOVE
- Bananas
- Sunflower Seeds
Whew! Lotsa sunflower…
As you can see I dug into the Just Mango Slices on the way home. I’ve missed those!

Between the AllieBars, pita chips and my latest favorite snack of pretzels and almond butter, it was a glorious carbfest over here earlier today.
You know how pretzels get doughy and sticky in your mouth? Okay, I know that sounds a little gross but admit it, it’s delicious. Well, try adding slathery almond butter…
You’ve gotta try it.
(Yes, those pretzels are from Halloween. Don’t ask what happened to my thumbnail.)
Pita chips too.
I mean, you gotta try pita chips with almond butter. I don’t mean you gotta try pita chips because I’m assuming you’ve ALL tried pita chips by now. If you haven’t, you need to shut the computer, walk out the door and buy some…
…now.
Last but not least, a banana to make this plate a little less processed. Heh.
Eventually I got around to doing part of an Insanity workout. I skipped the stretching in the middle and just did 20 min. of pure cardio drills.
Intense!
Sometimes I’d rather give it my all for a shorter time span than go moderate for longer. Sometimes.

After we got back from TJ’s, Peter had dinner ready. I had some stir-fried shrimp and celery.
Along with an egg + avocado and then a pumpkin pie smoothie.
I’m now snacking on chocolate covered sunflower seeds and about to open up my Macbook for the first time. Eek.
Have a great weekend, friends!
