Whelp, I survived my first day at work yesterday!
I’m pretty excited because from now on I’m going in even earlier. That way I can get out at 3:30pm—aka more time for activities!
Workout
This means I’m actually going to start working out after work. I love getting my workouts out of the way in the morning, but it’s becoming more and more complicated, what with no treadmill, light outside to run in, and the fact I’d have to wake up at like 4 am. THEREFORE, post-work sweat sessions are in order from now on.
Plus, it’s nice to go for a run after a long day of sitting. I just hope I can stay motivated…
Anywho, today I plan to go for a run after work—preferably around 6 miles, but we’ll see what happens.
These Are a Few of My Favorite Things
Now, when I was trying to come up with some of my favorite Easter-y things, all I could think of or find were Peep-related ideas. That is why I have dedicated the meat of this post to the marshmallows.
Let’s start off with some gory pictures:
Melted Peeps Popcorn. Does this or does this not look like murder? All I see are peeps dying in a pan. It’s quite sad. For what it’s worth, I’m sure the popcorn is delicious.
Chopped Peeps Candy Bars. Another form of peep murder. If you don’t view the bars as being covered in peep parts, then I bet they’re great!
Homemade Peeps Cookies. I think these look awesome. They’d probably turn out horrible if I attempted them, but the idea is cute…and sparkly with sugar.
Smashed Smores. One of the best inventions ever. Hey you want a smore? Some more what? No no do you want a smore? I haven’t had anything yet so how can I have some more of nothing? YOU’RE KILLING ME SMALLS. Name that movie! Or…just watch it.
Cocktail Peep Martinis. I’m liking the idea of combining peeps with alcohol. This recipe actually sounds pretty good too. It’s fluffed marshmallow vodka, vanilla, cream, and sugar. Sign me up!
Questions for you:
Fresh or stale peeps? I’m all about stale. I don’t know why. It’s weird I guess. But I like them that way.
Ever made anything cool with peeps? Nope.
If you work full time, how do you fit in a workout?
I’m almost ashamed to mention this but I haven’t had Peeps in years….maybe even close to a decade… I never liked them as a kid but I have very fond memories of exploding them in the microwave. Whoops!
Bahahaha love it. I’ve never thought about microwaving them. I might have to try that!
Yes. Yes to everything about this post. Stale or fresh, depending on my mood.
I knew you’d support my love for the stale variety. 🙂
I like peeps of all kinds. All day, every day. I think I might need to buy some in honor of easter…
Chyea! It’s a must.
LOVING all the PEEPS recipes you linked up to today! And including my smashed peeps s’mores. Melted Peeps popcorn – I have to make that! And I work out in the mornings but it’s so hard to get up sometimes! Sometimes after work is just easier.
For sure! I figure if I can make myself workout super early, then I can probably make it happen after work.
You always supply my daily dose of hilarity. “Does this or does this not look like murder? All I see are peeps dying in a pan.” I die!
I really don’t care for peeps that much… But trying them in s’mores? That’s a good idea!
I honestly dread the day when I get a “real” job and have to wake up at the butt crack of dawn or do my workouts later. I’d much rather just suck it up and do it earlier. I am SO not motivated in the afternoon. And typically after a long day of work, I think I deserve to do nothing… So sorry, no help there!
I understand your lack of enthusiasm for peeps. I get bored if I eat more than a few, which is probably a good thing since they’re coated in sugar…
And I’m definitely a big fan of coming home from work and not doing anything so far. Then again, I figure if I can motivate myself to workout at 5am, then I can probably do it after work instead.
