Random Thoughts(and, pictures) Thursday

Is it me or is the week just 'creeping' by?

At least we have a long weekend.

Here's my random thoughts for this Thursday along with pictures.

Don't get too excited.

* Believe it or not we have no big plans this weekend.

We're staying home and my goal is to get some shopping and cleaning done.

* Tonight is date night for Brad and I. Trying to think up something 'original' to do. Maybe visit a new restaurant or something. We run out of ideas.

* I'm loving the new season of 'Dance Moms'.  Those little girls are amazing! I love to watch them dance even though their teacher is a biatch.  I do think she's preparing them for life as a professional dancer, if that's what they choose, because from what I hear it's cut-throat.

Now for random pictures from this week.

Buddy and I watching the Tigers lose to Bama Monday night.

He was more into snoozing after the first quarter.

I made chicken divan 'lightened up', from Gina's Skinny Taste this week.

Pretty good for a low-cal version.

I've been visiting our Public Market a lot lately to buy fresh veggies.

Spotted these gorgeous sunflowers on display.

They were fake but I still thought they were amazing.

One of the things I picked up at the market this week were fresh beets.

I've heard a lot about roasting them lately so I gave it a try last night.

I scrubbed clean, cut off their top and bottom and wrapped in foil and popped in the oven.

Didn't keep them in there long enough but next time I'll know.

Dr. Oz says they're one of the best things for you!!

It's keeping with my New Year's goal of eating 'clean' foods.

We're also still eating our share of brussels sprouts, even though Brad told me yesterday that he's about tired of them.
I put them in a casserole last night so it wasn't as bad as him eating them roasted.

And, that's about all I have.

How's your Thursday?
