I Can't Say ...

No. I just can't. When it comes to taking on more than I can (or maybe want) to handle - I have a really hard time saying no. When people ask something of me, I always feel like I have to say yes, so that I don't disappoint them or let them down in any way. Do you feel like this?

Sorry - just feeling a lot of pressure lately, and needed to express myself a little bit!

On to my eats from this wonderful Wednesday!

Breakfast featured a packet of Amazing Grass, mixed with 1 cup unsweetened Almond Breeze, 1 T almond butter, and 1 banana:

On the way to work I also had:

Lunch was leftover soybean balls from last night:

And this:

And this:

I also had 1 bite of a brownie (1/2 a 2-bite brownie).

For dinner the hubby suggested that we take a break from cooking and go to one of our favourite restaurants/ coffee houses for a nice, fresh meal. I think I am getting used to the veggie meals, because I ordered a "Green Bowl" - many green veggies, brown rice, sprouts, tofu, and lime peanut sauce:

I ate half and saved the rest for lunch tomorrow. The picture in my header (big pic at the top of my blog) was one I took at this same restaurant.

After dinner the hubby and I went for a coffee to Starbucks. I normally get something very plain, beacause I find their flavoured drinks WAY too sweet, and WAY to artificial tasting. Today I decided to give a flavoured latte another chance, but to ask for 1/2 the flavour. I got a small skinny 1/2 sweet pumpkin spice latte. It was really good, and much better than the full flavour one.

Oh, Christmas cup - I love you.

Does anyone love the Miley Cyrus song "Party in the USA" as much as I do?
Someone did a remake of the song (same melody, different lyrics) and made a video for it. I am really liking it right now:

I am also really loving this song:

What songs are you digging at the moment?

This afternoon I got a LOT of work done! I worked on my thesis and ran errands, and still had time to relax.

For dinner the hubby and I went to his parents house for turkey and all the fix'ns. This was my ginormous plate:

I was STUFFED after all that, so I passed on dessert. I am not a big sweets person anyway.

I also had 2 glasses of this:

After dinner and visiting, the hubby and I met up with some friends at a place called La Bodega. I had one strawberry beer called Fruli.

Now I am off to bed ... and tomorrow it is turkey day #2!

I know thanksgiving is a much bigger holiday in the US than in Canada ... in Canada, Christmas is the biggest family holiday typically. Which holiday is the biggest in your family? What do you eat at thanksgiving?
