I have YET to get in the swing of things. Come on article, write yourself already!!
My lunch, however, is swinging away.
A hummus, zucchini and raisin sandwich (yes, raisins, they were delish!) on Matt’s buns
Plus a peach, with a few almonds, drizzled in coconut butter.
Worth waiting until hunger came at 2PM for.
I am wearing my Mahi Gold dress again today. It’s so very comfortable!
In other news, I’m in a very crabby mood. The sunshine has been gone for 3 days. Our internet is STILL having problems. I am behind on my workload by a lot.
I’m meeting a friend for a yoga class tonight and hopefully that will fix all of my problems!
Also, swinging helps.
Freya @ Brit Chick Runs says
I love dried fruit in sandwiches! It’s been too long since I’ve done that, thanks for the reminder 🙂
I hope your mood picks up soon 🙁 I’m sure yoga will help!

Holly @ couchpotatoathlete says
Swinging and yoga always helps! I laughed when I saw “on matt’s buns” It made me laugh, thank you!
What a great sounding sandwich –where do you get your ideas for sandwiches? They are so creative.

Ohh coconut butter on a sliced peach… fantastic idea!!

Your toes look so cute!

unblock almost anything.
Corey - The Runner's Cookie says
Internet issues are very frustrating but on the upside your house looking wonderful and so peaceful and relaxing! I live in a city apartment so I love seeing your beautiful lunches posed outside!! Maybe someday…
Grace @ Front Porch Yoga says
Yoga is a brilliant idea to get you out of your funk! Inversions are best for raising seratonin and feeling happy again- try hanging in rag doll for a bit before you go to class. Breathe deep through class, and feel your worries just melt away…
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
Sigh. I’ve ALWAYS wanted a front porch swing! I love the weathered look of y’all’s!
Hope your day turns around!
Michelle says
Bad moods are meant for Mondays! It’s a wonder anyone gets anything done on a Monday… For a second I thought you melted cheese on your peaches! 😛
Caitlyn @ A Spoonful of Life says
Hmmm…I would never have thought of putting raisons with hummus & zucchini! I will have to try. Hopefully having a fun swing to sit on & your afternoon yoga class can compensate for the lack of sunshine! SMILE!!
Camille says
That is one of the tastiest looking lunches I have ever seen!
Try and take it easy, the first few days after moving are always the most stressful. Just try and appreciate your lovely new house and new town!
Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
Yoga always helps 🙂 Especially since you always seem to enjoy it so much!
Sami says
I love the “Matt’s buns” line. Haha. I’m such a child. WHat’s your take on coconut butter over apples? I’m not sure I really can TASTE it?
Sami says
I love the “Matt’s buns” line. Haha. I’m such a child. WHat’s your take on coconut butter over the peach? I’m not sure I really can TASTE coconut butter? IS it more for the texture?
Callie says
I love that porch swing. And your dress.
Hope you feel better after yoga. 🙂
Lisa @ Early Morning Run says
Sorry you’re a little down. Weather does that to me, too. Your lunch looked fantastic though, your dress is cute and you have yoga to look forward to! I hope your day gets better!
Evan Thomas says
I hope yoga helps you to break out of a funk. Sometimes, a good second to pause and breathe is all we need.
Sarah (Running to Slow Things Down) says
Aww…sorry to hear about the grumps. I’m afraid I’m right there with you today, but I think it’s just a case of the Mondays. Yoga will solve the problem, I’m sure. 😀
Liz @ Tip Top Shape says
That swing definitely looks like it would brighten my day!! I love that you took your pictures on it. Maybe I should venture away from my plain old table, haha.
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
The yoga along with the friend should help! It is not sunny here today either and it is a real downer! Hopefully you will get some sunshine soon!
Laura says
Raisins ARE delicious…i could eat them with ANYTHING ( beleive me, i mean anything! i once put them in an omelette…..is THAT weird???)
Hope your mood picks up soon, along with the weather xx
Mama Pea says
I like to take a walk when I’m grumpy. Or listen to show tunes really loudly.
Sarah says
Hello! So, I have finally located a store in Savannah that sells Chia Seeds and was talking to a friends about it, and put the dots together to realize that Chia pets use Chia seeds to grow the sprouts. It made me think that I would enjoy buying a Chia Pet and at the same time enjoy eating Chia Seeds in my oatmeal. Sorry if this was blatantly obvious to everyone else 🙂
Kerri @ Kerri Turns into a Zombie says
Swing the grumps away.
Melissa @ HerGreenLife says
Sometimes I forget that summer squash is great raw — thanks for the reminder! Despite starting with fresh and almost 100% local, my meals feel a bit too cooked lately. My body’s craving some of that raw crunch 🙂
Wendy says
Lunch looks amazing and your dress does, too! Have a great yoga class tonight…Betcha it’ll make you feel like a million bucks!

I think swinging outside is the quintessential sign of summer!

I am LOVING your new house and am jealous of all your Cville shenanigans! Can’t wait till I return!

The mood will pass- it always does! It’s nearly impossible to make a big life change like a move without some added stress or tension.
Brittany @ A Healthy Slice of Life says
I laughed when I read that your sandwich was on Matt’s buns!
& I needed the laugh… I’ve been a little moody all day, so thanks for that 🙂
Katharina says
That sandwich looks so yummy. And I’ve been loving peaches lately. I don’t have coconut butter, but I’m going to make some because that combination sounds great!!
Have a wonderful day!

Stacey @ Tipping the (Kitchen!) Scales says
Don’t let work stuff stress you out too much. I’m sure yoga will help you feel better.
Kim says
Is it still chilly and overcast? Maybe you could pretend its a nice fall day. Make some apple cider and shop for school supplies. Or find a dog and play with him and get kisses, in my town they like to hang out by the coffee shops or on the trails with their guardians. 🙂
I am having a good, but slow day. I am finally starting on my first blog (so excited!) and getting everything figured out. I needed a break so I came here to look for a millet recipe. Yum!
Have a great day. It will get better!
Kath says
Great idea! I’m ready for fall!!!
stephanie@Avocado Nation says
I think it’s just a blah day all around. Your lunch looks delicious though!

I’m confident your yoga class will help with your mood!
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
I’m in a bit of a funk today too. I hope yoga cheers you up! 🙂
Michelle @ Give Me the Almond Butter says
That is all so frusterating. Just breathe a bit and know that it will all go away eventually.
klm says
I love love love that dress!! Penny sends you licks to cheer you up!!
coco says
I felt funky today too… I’d go for a run to de-stress, but I have 5 miles run planned for tomorrow… so I guess I’ll just check blogs and unwind! 🙂

There’s no way you didn’t giggle when you wrote about Matt’s buns swinging, right? 😀

Love the dress – already in the previous post when you had it on 🙂
Delish lunch – I love your sandwich combos!

Not gonna lie – I laughed out loud, in the office when I read “Matt’s buns” – I think I’m 5 years old. haha

Kath, I LOVE the sandwich combination of raisins, hummus and greens! I just made a sandwich similar to that last week! 🙂 http://kaitlinwithhoney.com/2010/07/26/wimp/
