Lunch was lovely today!
We devoured a box of Clementine’s this week. Only 3 left!! Quite possibly one of my top 3 fav. fruit.
I also had a yummy pita wrap with sautéed zucchini, hummus, tomato, spinach, and couscous.
And my current favourite Glo Bar– Present (Cranberry Pumpkin Spice):
Fill up the tank!
Holiday Wish List
I thought it would be fun to show you what is on my wish list this year:
Here are the items I am asking for:
1. Blender (any suggestions for a good one that won’t break the bank?). In case I haven’t said it enough, I hate my Kitchen Aid Blender. It has broke twice on me now. Grrrrr.
2. Hair Dryer. Mine is about 3 blow dries away from dying. I’m not picky about the brand I just want it to work!
3. Phone headset for use while baking (I can never answer the phone when baking, a headset would allow me to do this). Because I am just that cool…
4. Cell phone (my ancient Blackberry is not cutting it these days!) I asked Eric to get me a used one off Craigslist. My only criteria is a full keyboard. Possibly the LG Xenon: http://www.lge.com/ca_en/mobile-phones/all-phones/LG-GR500.jsp I don’t need anything too fancy.
5. Glo Bars. I would love for someone to make me Glo Bars while I kick up my feet!!!! Hint, hint, Eric… ;)
6. White Serving Trays from Costco. This isn’t the exact one below, but you get the idea. The ones at Costco that I saw last week have handles and they are $17 for 2.
7. Tights (Black, grey, brown, green, blue). Tights are one of my fav. winter accessories. I am known for wearing tights with boots, skirts and dresses. I just can’t get enough of them. Most of my tights are quite worn though so I need a few new pairs this season.
8. PJ’s. I desperately need some warm PJ’s because it is freezing in our house and I think I may get frostbite one morning.
What is on your wish list?

Sketchie was hard at work posting away this morning! Check out Our Crazy Bengal in action.
HAHA – I have blender, pjs, and tights on my XMas list also! The necessities of life!! As well as a whole slew of other household items for when I get my new condo next fall!!(I might be a tad excited about it!) No more roomie!!
That lunch looks so delicious, I think that’s what I’ll have tomorrow!
I also need PJs. The ones from Victoria’s Secret are like Kryptonite to me! I want to get them all!!
I think it’s time for you to join the big leagues and get the Vitamix. Refurbished WITH a free shipping coupon they’re $400 (American). I use mine every day if not twice a day. It will change your life. I do not throw money around, but I’m telling you it’s worth every penny. Look for it in Costco around the holidays but I wouldn’t pay over $400 when you don’t have to!
Hope Santa brings you everything you ask for!
For myself, I’d like more time. If someone could wrap that up, that’d be priceless!
Blender: You can’t go wrong with a Vita-Mix, it is pricey, but dang, it’s a MACHINE! This thing will NOT let you down. Plus you pretty much use a blender more than anyone I’ve ever seen so it’s a good investment.
Blackberry: I just got the BB Curve in Lavender. I LOVE it. Check it out!
Phone Headset: Check out blue toothear pieces, small and convinient.
Tray: Check out Winners, they always have things like that in stock!
Love the blog:)
Do you make any glo-bars with pomegranate?
I made a bunch of muffins this week with pomegranate seeds. Blend them with apple sauce. Pretty easy to work with. Thought of you and your glo bars.
CHEERS :)
I have the Oster Fusion blender and I LOVE it. It will blend nearly anything and it’s only $70 USD. I’ve never used a Vitamix but I would guess that this blender blends nearly as well, it is incredible!
-nice dress watch
-Brooks running sneakers
-black suit (current 2 are looking old)
-an extra hour in each day (ha!)
I use an Oyster blender and it is very good (especially for the price). My aunt has a Vitamix and she loves it (has loved it for about 8 years — with 3 kids — so it’s a strong appliance).
I just read your post and thought about where the vegan thanksgiving was…then I remembered you are Canadian and shared that last month. I blame my lack of sleep.
My Christmas list consists of:
1. Pink Bunny Footie PJ’s (Hunni got me these)
2. More music loaded on my iPod for running
3. Better headphones for running.
4. Garmin Forerunner
5. EA active for Wii (momma is getting me this)
6. New running shoes
I’m sure I have more but I’m planning a post on this for myself.
Looks like a wonderful lunch! I love clementines too and think they are much better and fun to eat than oranges. Very excited to try your bars!
I’d like an iphone arm band and headphones that won’t fall out of my ears, some kind of polar running/cycling trainer and of course any new kitchen gadget!
Not exciting but…black oven mitts to match our kitchen. the blue ones against the black makes it look like a bruise :-)
To get the job promotion I have applied for!
A WII! Jillian Michaels new book, New running shoes… Ahhh so so much!
I want a Nintendo Wii!! Also I want a juicer and a crock pot. Im glad you mentioned pj’s, because Im in desperate need of some warm flannel ones! The heat in my place doesnt work, it stays warm enough with a space heater that Im not concerned, but I dont like having it on at night, so its pretty cold by morning!!
I need some new work clothes. I’m just now starting to build a more professionally geared wardrobe. Hope Santa leaves some nice clothes under the tree!
i like tangelos more than oranges, tangerines,etc(sp?).
&&i have a lg xenon(red). & for the most part I really like it. I like that it has a touch screen, but also a full qwerty keyboard. plus I’ve dropped it several times and theres not a scratch on it (knock on wood). its a good phone.
on my christmas list is
-lacrosse gloves (im just starting this sport,we’ll see how it works out)
– some comfy boots (not uggs though,lol)
and thats really it, im actually quite surprised bc in the past teenager yrs i was a greedy little snot. lol
Hi Angela,
I like your blog so much, I identify with your profession story a lot. Thanks for sharing =o)
I see that you want a good blender. Look this amazing special of a vitamix: http://www.vitamix.com/household/infocenter/specials.asp
I recieved it yesterday and I finally bought one!! The price is soo good!! I thought I would have to wait until next year to have a new blender, but my Thanksgiving & Christmas gift is on its way! Yey!
Thanks for share so much with all of us and keep glowing!
doh its US only…$499 canadian
My latest hairdryer is a Conair Ion shine – I think it was $25 at Walmart. It’s supposed to reduce static & frizz with the ion technology. I’ve had this thing for about 6 months now and I can vouch for it reducing the frizzyness…plus, it dries my long hair on low in minutes, so that’s a plus.
On my Xmas list? Slap Chop (let’s talk about my nuts!), anything Bon Jovi (I’m a bit of a fanatic), jammies, slippers, La Senza and/or Reitmans gift cards, and the new Judith Finlayson slow cooker cookbook.
Angela,
I finally broke down and bought a Vitamix blender a few years ago, and it was one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. Considering how often you use your blender, I would totally recommend it. It’s an investment, for sure– but a worthy one, I think!
I have this blender and love it: http://www.amazon.com/Oster-BPST02-B-Professional-Blender-Black/dp/B000FBLQLG/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=kitchen&qid=1259295638&sr=1-5.
On my Christmas list is just money, though I’m not sure if I’ll get it. Unemployed + bills = need money more than sweet kitchen appliances (my dream one being a juicer) :)
Hi Angela,
I have to agree with everyone else, I invested in a VitaMix YEARS ago, and I know it will be with me for a LONG time. It is most definitely worth it, and so are you!! :) :) as a daily user I have never had problems, from green monsters to nut butters! I tell people it will blend rocks! :)
Happy Holidays to you!
Kristina
You should get a blender from Costco – ours from there has lasted FOREVER and you can blend anything in it!!!
My wish list has:
1) A bunch of books
2) Those same serving trays from costco, plus a few more from there, and the cheese board from there.
3) A karaoke machine!
