Happy #thinkingoutloud Thursday! No idea what I’m going on about? Click here!
1. Woohoo! I’m super happy to hear that you guys enjoyed yesterday’s banana post! I’ve been wanting to introduce more nutrition and health related posts to Spoons for a while now since I basically live and breathe the stuff every day (work and school), but I didn’t want to bore you guys with it if there was no interest, so I’m happy to see that there is! And don’t worry — the recipes and randomness won’t be going anywhere.
2. Oh, and just in case you thought I was kidding around when I said I’ve been going through a lot of bananas lately, check out this pic from the checkout of my last trip to the grocery store…
π And, yes, that is indeed a Frozen Advent calendar. Is it December 1st yet?!?
3. Because I really, REALLY want to dig in to my chocolate start decorating!
I may have mentioned that I try to hold off until December 1st every year? Well it’s getting harder to do when so many of you guys are taunting me with pictures of your Christmas decorations already! Staaaaahp it! Maybe I can make an exception just this once and put them up early?
4. No…

5. At least Mother Nature is setting the scene and starting to make things pretty…
6. One thing I don’t like, though, is [almost] running out of gas in the middle of the night when it’s -25ΒΊC (-13ΒΊF) outside…
You guys know I have a tendency to push my luck when it comes to driving my car until my tank is nearly bone dry, but this time I had a good reason [other than laziness]! We got hit with a nasty cold snap last week, and I was trying to wait it out before refilling my tank so I wouldn’t have to stand outside and freeze my butt out while pumping gas. Did.not.work. I ended up having to make an emergency stop at the gas station on my way home late one night because I was honestly afraid I wouldn’t make it. It was a little chilly.
7. I really want to see this movie…

8. I can’t decide if this site relaxes me or drives me crazy. It’s one of those “ambient noise” type dealios where you listen to the sounds of a forest in the background, but I think they may have gone a little overboard on the birds because… wow… just wow. I think I’ll stick to my coffee shop noise.
9. I have a sneaking suspicion that you guys only like me for my food. Case in point: the food pics I post on Instagram get way more likes than the more personal pics…
That’s okay… I love your friendly faces anyways π Happy Thursday!! Make it a good one!
No questions… just tell me whatever comes to your mind! π
More places to find me!

Sue @ This Mama Runs for Cupcakes
OMG!! -13F??! That is crazy cold! You are lucky your car started! Ive never heard of that movie, but it looks good!
Meghan@CleanEatsFastFeets
I want to see that movie too. Also the next Hobbit movie and maybe even the Minions. Hopefully, the Hubby and I can catch one over his Christmas break.
Those are some serious Christmas decorations there my friend. By the way, the snowman with the scarf; pretty sure I have the same exact one. I will be sure to send you numerous pictures when we put ours up. You’ll love it.
Sarah @ Making Thyme for Health
I have the same problem with my IG. No love for anything but the food!
And I kind of wish we had snow here like you do there. It’s been cold and rainy which is a nice change after the drought but snow is so much prettier!
Cassie
I think I may actually need Grumpy Cat Santa. Props to his marketing team that thought of that. I love it.
Julie @ Running in a Skirt
I am terrible about filling up too. Such a bad habit!
I also wait to put up Christmas DΓ©cor. I wait until the weekend after Thanksgiving. I have this theory about a Mad Turkey who feels his holiday gets overrun by Christmas… π
Lisa
Hhaa food pictures are notorious for more likes than personal photos. I like your face more than food though:)
I am totally like that when it comes to gas! And then of course when I’m forced to fill up it’s always raining! I used to be the total opposite but then something changed.
Haha, welp I’ve already decorated for Christmas! So, hurry up and join me!
Irina
I’m dying to see The Theory of Everything!! I’m currently reading ‘A Brief History of Time’ by Stephen Hawking and am loving it. Physics is so fascinating!
Shashi @ RunninSrilankan
I haven’t been watching a whole lot of tv recently and this was the first time I saw that trailer – the theory of everything looks like one heck of an awesome movie!! Now I’ve gotta decide if I am going to see it first or Mockinjay ….
It seems like every year the stores start decorating earlier – kinda like every year seems shorter than the last – am still figuring out what happened to spring! π
Temps fell into the teens here in Atlanta and I was teeth-chattering cold – I cannot imagine how cold it is in your neck of the woods! I think I might have to stay indoors and hibernate ALL winter and forget about gassing up my car – ooh, that way, I won’t have to worry about digging my car ut of the snow! Win win!
Chelsea @ Chelsea's Healthy Kitchen
Haha I always push my luck with my gas tank in cold weather too. Either that or I make JZ fill my tank for me when he’s here. π
Ella
I would like to say that I just dropped peanut butter down my shirt while eating out of the jar.
That is all.

Lindsay
i like you for your FACE! haha. Love it and so pretty. but your food is pretty good too. Now go fill up on gas before you run out .. okay? My worst fear too. burrrrrr
Miss Polkadot
That’s one point where we’re complete opposites: I absolutely cannot wait until my gas tank is close to empty. I’m way too scared for the engine dying in the middle of nowhere or -worse – on the highway. Don’t even make me imagine that!
Maybe hide a banana in your next non-food picture and make it a searching game. Chances are you’ll attract s
a few more likes. Where is Waldo gone bananas π .
Daisy @ Fit Wanderlust Runner
I also want to see that movie! It looks super good.
Kat
Dang, banana hoarder right there! Do you get strange looks whenever you buy mass amounts of something? Because I totally do, and it kind of makes me angry, but then I remember what I have planned for the little treasures in my basket and I no longer care π
Ang @ Nutty for Life
I have a major crush on Eddie Redmayne, so I want to see The Theory of Everything, too. Actually first on my list is Hunger Games this weekend but…. I’m like a five yr old girl. Happy Thurs!
Carrie (This Fit Chick)
Oh gosh, sorry to hear about the gas trouble! That does NOT sound fun… cant even imagine what -25 would feel like!
Laur
That trailor almost made me cry… which I’ve only cried to ONE movie (A Cinderella Story – go figure lol) so I think I might make a solo trip to watch it. Solo because I can cry without feeling weird π
Sarah
All about mass quantities of bananas! So tasty and so versatile π Perhaps wait until a week before December 1st?! BEAUTIFUL shot of the outdoors, snow covered, wonderful. Haha I hate having to get gas when it’s freeeeezing outside… the absolute worst.
GiselleR @ Diary of an ExSloth
Back home we used to decorate on my birthday, so I would have been dragging out the fake Christmas tree and all the decorations today. Now, I don’t decorate my apartment in Waterloo cuz I’m never here for most of the season. I miss it tho.
Also, I sobbed like a baby while watching that trailer. Thanks for that haha
Jo @ Living Mint Green
I start getting nervous when I drop below a half tank. I put up our Christmas decorations on Remembrance Day which is ridiculous, but I had the day off & some free time so I said, F it!
Becky @ Olives n Wine
Decorate for Christmas tonight – DOOOOO IT!! You won’t regret it. You know it π I have my little Christmas corner going and it makes me smile every time I look over there. I mean, you’re basically denying yourself happiness by waiting π #peerpressure
Rachel @ Undercover Diva: A Sitcom
My dad never lets us go below a 1/4 tank in the winter (not that I live in the cold anymore in the Bahamas) for fear that the engine will freeze? Not sure if that’s legitimate or not…
Mar @ Mar on the Run
the gas thing is so me! I was 20 minutes late to work this morning because the bus was running late so I drove. My tank was on E so I had to stop at a station, then froze pumping before hitting traffic. Every. time.
Sam @ Better With Sprinkles
haha Instagram loves food! And I love our Christmas tree. It’s cute and Christmasy.
Also I really want that grumpy cat.
Leslie @ Life Begins at 30?
I’m putting up decorations this weekend. I can’t wait anymore! π
Emma @ Life's A Runner
Advent calendars!!!! I joked that I would turn right around and leave upon arriving home if there wasn’t one waiting for me. π I can’t wait for a banana recipe now – I have some ripe ones juuuuust waiting for something delicious.
