Happy #thinkingoutloud Thursday! No idea what I’m going on about? Click here!
1. Remember how I mentioned that my appetite was kind of MIA in yesterday’s post? I’m happy to report that all is right in the world again! The past two days have been “wake up ready to chew my arm off dive right in to breakfast” mornings, so all is as it should be once more. See? Everything has a way of balancing out.
2. Well…. one thing that’s been feeling a little bit off is my thirst. I have no idea what it is, but I just can’t seem to get enough water in me lately. Is it the fact that it’s been so dry around these parts? Or that I’ve been eating a little more fibre than usual? Some kind of electrolyte imbalance? Salt issues? So many questions…
3. I overheard the best exchange between an elderly gentleman and a barista while I was waiting in line in Starbucks the other day. I guess he’s a regular and I guess he must always be in a good mood because the barista said to him “You’re always so happy and smiling!” His reply? “Well, why not?” Besssssssst. Why not indeed….
4. On that note, this is probably a bad time to admit it, but the song Happy by Pharrell no longer makes me happy. In fact, it annoys me so much that it makes me want to kick kittens (please note: I would never actually kick a kitten). Instead, I’ve been listening to things like this…

Apparently I’m channeling my inner hillbilly. Although, having grown up in Alberta with a good handful of friends who lived out in the country, I will say that it’s a lifestyle I’m quite familiar with. Good times.
5. But going back to kittens, allow me to introduce you to the resident cat at the Starbucks I frequent…
I have no idea what his name is or who he belongs to… or if he’s even a he at all. All I know is that he’s always prowling the patio and cozying up to any patron who’ll take an interest in him. And when I say cozying up, I mean cozying up. This cat has no qualms whatsoever with jumping into your lap or lounging around on any unoccupied chair that might be at your table. Forget personal space — he wants to be your friend! It makes me want a cat. Too bad I’m allergic 😥
6. But at least I have a dog! Well, sort of. I had to leave her at home when I moved out and I really miss the little bugger! But at least I get to see her at my parents’ when I go over there on the weekends. Kaiah says hi 😀
She also says stop freaking taking pictures of me PLEASE…
7. So you know those oatmeal date balls I made the other day? I couldn’t help but laugh at the fact that they totally cleaned me out of a few kitchen supplies. I mean, just check out the collection of empties I was left with…
Not bad, eh? 😆 I don’t think I’ve ever made anything that finished off so many of my ingredients. Confession: I get a secret thrill from using things up and being able to throw the packaging away. So oddly satisfying.
8. Also… it would appear that I really like Popchips…
I blame the avocados…
9. I need some Rice Krispy Squares in my life. Bad.
10. And don’t worry… I didn’t forget about the random facts!
1. It’s also my favourite sweetener, so I’m going to try hard not to think about the fact that it’s essentially bee spit.
2. That’s either extremely brilliant or extremely sad…
3. Which is supposed to make up for the fact that it can bloat you and ruin your teeth?
4. So dads… don’t be so quick to accuse your wives of funny business if your kids don’t look like you.
5. That’s even more disturbing than the bee spit fact 😯 I hate ants.

You are a classic great site owner. The site packing quickness is astounding. It seems that you’re up to virtually any exceptional trick. On top of that, A material are must-see. you have done a fantastic procedure in this particular subject matter!
I swear I think I’m the only person in the world who never like the Happy song! I just can’t stand repetitive songs…my eye starts twitching! You’re not the only one who likes to finish off stuff…just the other day, I threw away an empty shampoo bottle, tube of toothpaste, and an empty box of cereal! Then I did a happy dance…but not to the song Happy! 😉
I’ve heard about those cuddle specialists! At first, I’m like, “ohhhh, I would be GREAT for that” and then I think about actually having to cuddle perfect strangers…weeeeeeeirrrrrrrDAH!
I have an odd love for finishing up products, both in the kitchen and bathroom! It definitely is a satisfying feeling =)
Lately, I have been having days where my hunger in non existent all day and I have to force myself to eat. I don’t know what is going on! Let’s hope this does not continue.. o.o
Your dog is so cute! Oh my! ^_^
I had a bunch of those days last week as well, but things seem to be back to normal now 🙂
Yes, I love pop chips too!
Your dog is really so cute. Pets are always like a family member.
So glad I’m not the only crazy one who gets a thrill out of using up the last of the packaging. lol what is with that?!? I love it when I can empty out a container or use the last of a bag of something. #weird
That is an alarming stat about the newborns! Lol….seriously? I also have an odd satisfaction about throwing away an empty container……so weird. I’m thinking it’s totally cute that the cat just chills at Starbucks. 🙂
OMG, Kaiah is the cutest thing ever. Want to kiss the face!!
I also have that weird satisfaction when throwing something away! Mostly with my shower products…I always have like 3 shampoos and 4 conditioners so it makes me feel like I’m accomplishing something when I finish one of them. I have issues…
Hope you have a great weekend, girly!
I’m the same.exact.way with shampoos and conditioners! And the worst part is that I don’t even like some of them but I feel bad for throwing them away, and the fact that they’re just sitting around taking up space drives me crazy 😡
And here I thought I was the only one who got satisfaction from using something up! I have no idea why because it just means I have to go buy more of it but I love it too! Yesterday I threw away a cereal box, yogurt container, potato bag and a cottage cheese container and I loved it! Probably because I got to go get new things 🙂
Your dog is so cute!! I really want one but I also need to be home more to give him all the love and attention he needs!!
Your dog is freakin gorgeous!!
And I’m so glad you posted about the avocado/popchips again because I had been meaning to try it and forgot, and now I have ripe avocados. 😀
Don’t “stop freaking taking pictures” of Kaiah because she is freaking adorable. Please *puppy eyes*
I hate recycling almost as much as I think it’s important. My apartment is the size of a match box and it’s really annoying to have this bag of plastic wrappings, a couple of milk boxes and some random empty jars just sitting there waiting for their time to be taken out. Garbage day is a huge relief.
You know I’m totally with you on how awesome it is to be able to get rid of things 🙂
I too have had an unnatural amount of thirst lately. Maybe the warmer weather? Who knows. I think its good though because usually I stink at getting enough water in! Love your pup, he is so stinkin cute.
I cannot stand that “Happy” song anymore either…It actually makes me mad and I immediately have to change the channel. And I love the “cuddle” random fact…I LOVE cuddles! 🙂
I find using up foods to be so satisfying too! Especially when it’s a product I don’t plan on buying again… it makes me feel like I’m one step closer to tackling the nightmare that is my pantry haha.
Love the post! First picture made water come into my mouth! And your dog is simply adorable! 😉
