No, not the cars…those horrible things! The real thing!
So for today’s post, I could care less about food, but I did have some yummy stuff, so I will share that, but otherwise I’m going to show you the more exciting thing I got to do today: hold a HUMMINGBIRD!!!
Ok, food:
I made the mistake of running very late last night after having a late snack, then wasn’t feeling well throughout the day, so kinda skipped dinner entirely and went to bed early, as I was exhausted and just in a foul mood in general. Therefore, today I was absolutely famished and my hunger could not control myself.
Breakfast: My greek yogurt it back!!!! As much as I would have loved to have my Fage (soooo expensive) my next favorite is Oikos so I bought that…and I was all smiles this morning:
Then it was out to the tower nice and early…
Snack numero one: huge peach and goldfish
Snack numero two: cashews, vegan chocolate chips, peanuts, cranberries. nom.
Lunch: 1/2 avocado, diced tomato, black beans with stone ground whole wheat crackers. nom nom.
Snack numero three: zbar and banana. ate banana first, then zbar; aftertaste was chocolate covered banana. nom nom nom.
Dinner: Alverado Blvd hamburger bun w/ mushroom gardenburger, tomato and spinach, two carrots and hummus
Dessert: pb bompers and vegan chocoalate chips…times 2.5.
Exercise: pure mental excitement from this:
Hummingbird trap! Pull a string when they get in there to take a drink and BAM!
Is that not the most gorgeous bird EVER!!!!???
These bands are insanely tiny…and so easy to lose and bend.
He wanted to be let go…
Checking body fat…blow!
And Mr. Ruby Throated himself…in all his glory. I believe this is actually my Mr. Armani…yay!!!
Seriously, I was like a three year old with candy when this was happening. I was super excited as hawks and hummingbirds are my two favorite kinds of birds and geez…i can’t even explain how uppidy I was! And still am! My parents just laughed at my exhilaration about the whole thing. LOL.
Ok, now I need to try to sleep…and dream hummers. I so want a certificate to do this!!!!


Oh my goodness, the hummingbird is adorable!!
I love all your snacks too…some of my fav lately have been Z-bars, naners and peaches too.
Oh, look at the cute little birdie!
I had no idea hummingbirds could be held!
So cool that you got to hold a hummer! It's adorable! I saw one on campus here today. They move so quickly, so I loved seeing these up close photos
Your breakfast looks so yummy, too.
Hummingbirds are my favorite! Around here they don't come around often so when I see one, it's very special.
That is SO cool – I think I would be just as excited!
That is awesome!!! and he's so cute!
omg I love hummingbirds too! The first time I saw one I was in awe. So cool.
That hummingbird is adorable!
Wow, your job sounds awesome! I've only seen a few hummingbirds, and I'm embarrassed to say that I usually think they're big bees.
Hummingbirds are amazing, I'm so jealous you got to hold one! (but also really happy for you
)
Mmmm…peaches. I need to get on that! Happy weekend!
Oh that is so cool about the hummingbird!!
OMG I woulda died with excitement over getting to hold and band that little guy!
Look at his beautiful throat! What are you banding him for?
whenever i see a hummingbirds i can't help but think of Pocahontas
that is so coolio that you got to hold one! I would've freaked the hell out!
That is SO cool! I get excited on the rare occasion that I just SEE a hummingbird, let alone hold one! SO cute!
That's so exciting! I got to hold a hummingbird once last year. My cat brought him inside THROUGH her cat door. She had him in her mouth and was just sitting in the kitchen looking at me. I took him away and the poor little bird looked like he was going to have a heart attack, especially with her yowling pitifully at me. I should've taken pictures!
