My new tech toys really have made blogging so much more fun!
I had some fun with close ups this morning –
I knocked out a good chunk of my to-do list this morning and just have a few more big things left. I left for the gym around noon on my bike – the sun has peeked out just a few times, and I think the rain is done for the day. Crossing my fingers! Once I arrived at the gym I did 30 minutes on the Stepmill and some stretching. The bike ride home was quite muddy as I hit the puddles –
Once home and showered, I was very hungry for lunch! Look at the colors in that photo!!!
I made a hummus, pickle and green pepper sandwich on Great Harvest High Five Fiber – along with some mustard and romaine.
And had a selection of carrots + apple with PB for dipping
Plus more Coconut Chai (same tea bag, used 3 times)
Dessert. Can you read my palm!?
Karen and Andrew are coming over for dinner tonight, so it’ll be a party! Until them I’ll be tied to my computer 🙁
Happy Hump Of The Humpday!

seelee live (for the love of peanut butter) says

polly says
hi Kath! CUTE LEGS! 🙂
Photos are so fun. I love trying to get just riiiight pic of my oatmeal and yummy food. Color is everything and your pics are beautiful! I took a colorful pic of my oatbran today… I used it as my desktop it was so yummy… but it’s making me hungry when I pass my computer! 😉
Mara says
WOW those pictures are beautiful!! It really makes me realize how lousy the light is in my kitchen!
Camtim42 says
Wow the photo quality is just OUTSTANDING! The colors are so…..colorful 😉 haha.
Oh, you reuse your tea bags? Where do you put them when you’re done until you use them again?
Heather McD (heather eats almond butter) says
Woo – look at those leg muscles! : )
The pictures are looking great. I wish our Great Harvest sold the High 5 bread. Looks scrumptious!
Princess Dieter says
Wow. Those pics look great. Love your rings!!! Beeyotiful. And your lunch is beautiful. It’s clear you make an effort to make your meals nutritious AND pretty.
I can’t wait to get my Blackberry Storm later this year, so I can start uploading pics of my meals and stuff. 😀
Jill says
Oh my! I am totally a lurker and I just had to say your photos are insane! I used to think you had spectacular photos, but these are super impressive! You are REALLY making me want a new camera now….
Miss Tiffie says
awesome new photos :] and sexy legs, haha..
omg did you really only eat 4 jelly beans? if so how do you do that? once i pop open a bag i just finish it off…
Allison K says
hahaha..that picture of your legs made me laugh. love it.
Melissa (fitnessnyc) says
Gorgeous ring!
VeggieGirl says
LOOOOOVE the new camera shots!!
Enjoy dinner tonight!!
Moran says
Wow I LOVE the rings and that is an amazing photo!
hk says
So lovely!! Your rings and lunch 🙂 it’s so exciting to see how awesome a new camera can be!!
Bridget says
Beautiful pictures, and sandwich!! Lovely ring too 🙂
Halie says
Beautiful photos! And a funny one if the gams! I thought they were just freckly at first!
Does the tea keep it’s flavor when using a tea bag multiple times like that? I’ve got Coconut Chai too and I really want to get as much enjoyment out of it as possible, but I never thought to do that.
KateRose says
Love your new camera! It is picking up the light and making your pictures so much brighter.
Danielle says
Ha I thought those were freckles on your legs! I can not get over how great your pictures look! I used to have canon and the pictures were never that great, i switched brands, now I wish I had stuck with canon it seems they just keep getting better.
And your rings are absolutely beautiful!
Ashley says
Beautiful Pics! I have one of the older powershots, and I absolutely love it!
Jennifer says
Do the diamonds on the band go all around or halfway? I am leaning toward that style for my engagement ring. And that’s round-cut right? (I’m getting used to all these terms!)
K says
Nice bling Kath 😉
I have the mini bowl that matches that plate, Pier 1?
pam says
i was looking in your frig and saw that you had capers. once opened, how long will they keep in the frig?
Kati says
your lunch looks bea-u-ti-ful!!! great colors :> i copied you and went to pier 1 today…picked up 2 plates and a matching mug! and can you really re-use tea-bags??
Missy (Missy Maintains) says
Great photos! I seriously need a new camera now!!

Amanda says
Where do you get the cocunut chai tea? Sounds delicious!
Sharon says
Wow, love the new photos with your camera!
Marissa says
Nice rings!
Jen says
*Reading your palm*
I am guessing a: French Vanilla, Pear, bubble gum and cotton candy?? (can you tell that I absolutely HATE jelly belly’s??? ;p)
Your rings are beautiful! Very elegant!
Frustrated says
HELP! Lately I have been in this frustrating cylce where I can’t stop eating at night. It starts with what I think will just be some ice cream and turns into cookies, candy, granola bars, etc. I eat until I’m so full and hurting. Then I go for a few days where I’m fine. Has anyone experienced this and if so how did you overcome it?
MizFit says
that quality is AMAZING.
jealous.jealous.
Mel says
How cute!
Cheetos Eater says
Removed for rudeness.
Shelby says
Beautiful pictures…
hahaha I thought the mud on your legs was freckles!!! I was like why is she taking a picture of her freckles??
Jennifer says
Kati, of course you can reuse tea bags. But I think the flavor is really weak when you do so.
Kath says
rhodeygirl ,
Cool! I think I was on WeddingBee once!?
seelee live (for the love of peanut butter) + Camtim42 ,
Yeah – I just leave the teabag in the mug, refill the mug with water, and microwave it for 2 minutes (which kills any bacteria, but I’m not really worried about since since they are my own germs).
Halie ,
It definitely loses flavor, but I try to get as much out as I can! The stronger/blacker the tea, the better it is on round II. I rarely use a bag more than twice.
Jennifer ,
Yes, they go halfway – called a half eternity, I believe. And yes, it’s a round diamond in a 4-prong setting, which lets in more light (= more sparkle!) than a 6-prong “Tiffany” setting.
pam ,
Capers last a loooong time thanks to their acidity. I dont’ think I’ve ever had them go bad on me.
Frustrated ,
Are you eating enough during the day? Eating balanced, satisfying meals? That often contributes to late night snacking for me – if I feel unsatisfied. Also – get the snacks out of your house. If they’re not there, you won’t eat them. Willpower is highly overated.

Chelsea says
The photos look awesome. Love the new camera! Shaun’s been looking into the Eye-Fi I’ll tell him that you give it a thumbs up!
amanda says
Wow, Kath! I never thought your pics were bad before, but they are definitely brighter and clearer now! Great camera buy!
Kate says
Your sandwiches always look so gourmet! I need to step it up!;)
Jennifer says
Thanks a million times. I am e-mailing myself that little bit of info to include in my Engagement ’09 folder =).
Kath says
Jennifer ,
Haha – I had one of those too 😉

Sarah (lovINmytummy) says
Love the creative shots of the hawt ring and the hawt legs!
That tea must be great if you have had three cups today! The World Market down the road might be getting a visit form me!
Justy2003 says
Wow, your photos look awesome with this new camera! Your lunch is so colorful!
Erin says
Jealous of your calves!
Jess. says

daphna says
Wow, I think you have the exact same wedding set as me. Fun!
kwaze says
Love your pics! Ok…I cannot stopm eating! My holiday splurging has followed me right into January. My eating habits weren’t exactly stellar before….now they are worse! I am looking for anyone’s input here…..esp any of you with a good plan for tomorrow. If you plan out your food in advance….would any of you mind sharing what you will be having tomorrow? This happens to me every year!!! Thanks.
Ali says
Just wanted to say the pics look great and your rings are gorgeous!
Also, to Frustrated… I had that problem when I was in college … do you have roommates who are doing the same? My friends and I found that one of us would start snacking, and then the next thing you knew, we were all chowing down until we felt ill. I found that once we realized this cycle, we were able to break it together… or I would just go in my room and read until the urge to snack passed… just my two cents though! good luck 🙂
musicfan says
so you had carats for lunch. hah hah hah
Andrea (Andrea's Eats) says
Love the pics! Great quality. I am still working on getting my pics clearer on my blog. I have been using my camera phone. The pics are just not great at all. I think I will need to learn how to use a regular camera to upload pics on the computer.
If anyone has suggestions, please stop by and leave me a comment.
