Today went by really quickly at work because things were busy. At lunch I ran by the post office and ran home. I only had time to prep my salad so I decided just to take it back to the office and eat at my desk- which apparently is the worst idea germ wise.

I try to not to do it often because I like to move around after sitting all morning, but a girls gotta go what a girls gotta do. So I ate at my desk.
A delicious salad made with kale, red leaf and romaine lettuce (all freshly picked), sweet corn off the cob, raw okra, cherry tomatoes, 1/4 of an avocado, shrooms, and salsa. Really great combo and I loved the sweetness of the corn.
Mid afternoon I had some Virginia Salted Peanuts and a navel orange. After leaving work I headed to the other house (what I will, from now on out, call the house Isaac is house sitting). At the other house they have a strawberry garden… which I LOVE!! I picked this bowl of goodness and ate them throughout the day- the majority were eaten before dinner.
Very similar ingredients as lunch only I added some grated carrots and almond accents. The avocado is speckled with course sea salt and pepper.
And, don’t worry, I didn’t give up on cereal today. I ended up having some Honey Kix as a snack this evening.. out of a coffee cup. 
This post is quick and to the point because I am off to bed. zzzzz.

I LOVE how you say how gross it is to eat at your desk…and then you say you eat at your desk. LOVE IT!
I just licked my keyboard. Mmmm…germy.
Ah crap – no pun intended! I eat at my desk ALL the time!
Your salad picture is beautimous!
your eats look DEEELicious!
I eat at my desk everyday, sometimes two or three times per day. Thankfully, the desk does get cleaned once per week. Maybe I should bring some of those wipes in anyway. I also wipe down my phone ever so often otherwise, my chin area breaks out pretty bad.
I know I said it yesterday but I really do love your new theme. It is so fresh and fun!
I eatat my desk too. We’re so gross, tee hee!
It’s so bright!
I happen to love the new layout
I’ve definitely eaten at my desk – oh well!!
I love the new layout by the way! It looks great 
lovin the salads! so fresh and flavorful!
I eat at my desk MULTIPLE times per day. Kinda sad, but I try to make up for it with good habits – I disinfect my keyboard, mouse and phone every other day and try to make sure I get out for a half hour walk after lunch. Not ideal, but then again, neither is a desk job.
So jealous of your strawberry patch access!
I frequently eat at my desk and I’m sure it’s a germ nightmare. But it’s convenient and I doubt it will kill me anytime soon.
wow what a disgusting random fact on the germ front. i eat here every day. daaang. both salads look good! i think you will survive the desk eating incident.
oh yeah. did you KNOW.. yesterday was national pick strawberries day!
oh my gosh – i had no idea a desk could be so icky! i’m totally wiping down my phone & desk tomorrow 1st thing! ewwww!
i need to be putting kale in my salads – and more avocado! i always forget about avocado! hooray for freshly picked strawberries! aren’t they just the best?!? one of my favorite things about spring! mmmmmm!
I always eat at my desk, and I’m okay with it. I think we all try to be too antiseptic anyways – we need to get out, play in the dirt and stop being germaphobes! That’s how you build natural resistance. Otherwise, we just end up with resistant straings of bacteria.
That sounds good. I’m going to lick my mouse right now.
