OY! Sorry strangers – with it being the first of the month and a holiday – work has been quite busy!!!
On top of that – I’ve got the 10 miler training schedule I’m doing, my volleyball league, my bowling league, training for Tackle the Tower (THIS WEEKEND!), and painting the upstairs – I haven’t even had time to SLEEP!
So – the title of the post is “repeat offender” – because of a realization I had this weekend. Everyone’s doing those damn “25 things about you” (I liked to read them, just don’t expect me to do one myself) – and I started thinking….
I like to THINK that I’m spontaneous, and live on the wild side, but upon further reflection – I am the EPITOME of a “repeat offender” – someone who does the same thing over and over and over again!
What do I eat for breakfast 99% of the time – oatmeal!
What do I eat for lunch 99% of the time – a salad! With the same toppings!
What do I do when I find a new song I like? Listen to it over and over and over again until the people around me want to kill me!
What sort of dinners to I make? The same 5 recipes over and over!
When I feel like an alcoholic beverage – what’s my first choice? Sauv Blanc!
I could go on and on, but you catch my drift! 
The reason I bring it up, is because – I really hope ya’ll don’t mind! I like what I like, and realized I put a LOT of the same thing up on the blog! So I appreciate you sticking around! Thanks for not getting annoyed with my repetitiveness!! 
Now on to my first post with my new camera! Woot woot! 
Testing things out – here’s Landy Bear (Robo-eyed Doggie):
…and a close up of the manual (SWEET – I CAN TAKE PICS OF MENUS NOW!!!! – only a food blogger would be that excited!) 
No more spicy oats - I’m out of Morning Star sausage patties, so this week it’s Maple Syrup, Brown Sugar instant oatmeal, with a sprinkle of dried blueberries! 
And salads for lunch the past two days :
Zbar for a snack yesterday…
I tried to hit up the gym TWICE – and both times I went, every single treadmill was taken! Boo! 
Dinner was easy – Arnold Thin with chicken, and some iceberg drizzled with hot sauce and low fat ranch!
To refuel today – my afternoon snack is going to be a low cal cupcake from Kristin, and good old DC:
Right after work, I have a long night ahead of myself! I’m going to do my last “stair training” – 45 flights! Then I’m going to the gym to run the 2.5 miles I wasn’t able to the night before, THEN I’m headed to my volleyball league play off game at 8:15! Wish me luck!
I’m predictable too!! It’s okay we just have found our niche
LANDO!!!! Such a cutie pie robo dog!
oooh, look at those blue eyes, haha.
good luck with your packed schedule tonight! when you’re so busy, you need predictable things to keep you from losing your mind
Hi Lando, I <3 you still! What a cute picture of that adorable face!
Good luck with all your to dos! My day has been crazy as well ahhhh!
Goooood luck!! And YAY for being boring and/or repetitive!!! ;D ha but you’re not boring
GOOD LUCK!
I love your regularity! You’ve inspired me to make your spicy oats! I love hot sauce too so why not have it for breakfast?!
I enjoy your repetitiveness. It gives me ideas!
Good luck tonight.
Being busy is always good and bad! It sounds like things are going great for you! Keep it up!!
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII made one of your recipes tonight and it rocked my socks off.
You are very busy lady! I eat the same things all the time too, I like what I like!
Love your tasty eats!! And I love listening to the same song, over and over and over and over again. LOL!
Aww, Lando is the cutest robotic-eyed puppy ever! Awesome photo!
There is nothing wrong with repetitiveness! I’m like that too, doing familiar things make me feel good and safe.
I live for routine and repetitiveness
im a creature of habit too! you like what you like right?
i love all your eats! so weird not seeing spicy oats for your morning breakfast!
Hey if it ain’t broke…! You like what you like
I, on the other hand, get sick of things easily so I try more consciously to switch it up so I can continue to enjoy things over and over…just not back to back 
BUt we all need some sort of routine!
YAY new camera!! holla!!!! Perfect for new puppy pics!
You are a busy woman! And I am so jealous you’re in a volleyball league! I use to play in high school and I’ve been trying to get my friends to put together a team for an adult league and no one will do it with me!
Oh, and I think your eats are great. I am repetitive too, so no worries about that!
Hehe…love this post! I find myself repeating too, and it sometimes stresses me out that I’m not being more creative for the blog. I love you attitude though, you like what you like and that’s all that matters! We’ll keep reading no matter what, don’t you worry!
I hope you mastered your serious list of workouts last night!
Um, I don’t think you have enough going on in your life – you should find a hobby.
I laughed out loud when I read this line, I could have written it!
What sort of dinners to I make? The same 5 recipes over and over!
Hey, do you have Facebook? I only ask because you mention the 25 random things….
