Who Am I?

Posted on December 2nd, 2009 by BroccoliHut

Over the past few days, the typical Caroline has been missing in action, in that my routine has completely vanished. I’ve gotten about 4 or 5 hours of sleep each night (in contrast to my usual 6 to 8), I’ve neglected my Google reader (I’ve never seen so many unread posts!), and—here’s the shocker—I’ve gone 3 days without a smoothie. Seriously, who am I?

As you might guess, this break from routine has been caused by the man I refer to as Treadmill Buddy; from now on, however, he shall be called by his real name, Seth. He knows about the blog (don’t ask how that came up), but he told me that he would  prefer to “learn about me from me” rather than from my blog. So, I hope he’s not lying–because I fully intend on sharing deets about him with you:)

Last night he brought me this:

The rest of the date went well too…let’s just say I’m a little bit less like Josie Geller now.

Alright, romantic rumination complete…for now. Onto the eats:

Tuesday

Seth and I went to The Spotted Dog Restaurant and Bar for dinner last night. I was amazed that I had never heard of this very veg-friendly restaurant prior to Seth’s mentioning it. Even though the secret’s out about the blog, I did not take a picture of my meal—I decided it would be a mood killer. I order “The Tempest” salad: greens with artichoke hearts, cucumber, tomato, and marinated/grilled tempeh.

We also hit up West End Wine Bar afterward…wine is almost as good as a smoothie, right?

Wednesday

My obsession with raisin bran continues. I am embarrassed to admit how little of my just opened box remains uneaten! It made for one tasty parfait.

Lunch was a variation on one of my Salad Lady recipes: curried tofu salad with tropical fruit. YUM.

I am now off to get a little work done before I head out to another evening with Seth. Ciao, lovelies!

    Awww, a rose … how sweet! (Glad to see he’s more than just ‘treadmill buddy’ now ; )

    Aww, the rose is classic :-)
    I would hate it for someone who I barely know in person to learn more about me via my blog. While it’s a good portrayal of part of me, it’s not me, so I think he’s doing a good thing

    That is so sweet, a simple red rose :) I’m so glad you two are hitting it off!

    I hope you can make yourself a smoothie sometime soon!

    I literally just went, “Awwwwwww!!!” How exciting for you! I have to say wine > smoothies but that’s just me ;)

    I am so happy for you that everything with “treadmill buddy” has gone well so far :-) I love those butterflies when you start to get to know someone you really like :-)
    Have a great night!!!

    Awww, thanks for sharing the deets, Caroline! I was wondering where you went! And congrats on the first you-know-what and the lovely rose! That Seth sounds like a keeper ;)

    I have always wondered if the Spotted Dog was any good. Food pictures on a date can be a mood killer, but you have to ease him into it little by little! Sounds like you had a great time. :)

    ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! he has a name :) and he’s sounds SUPER fun!!! i love it! yay for you! have fuuuuuuuuun

  15. Katie, on December 2nd, 2009 at 10:52 pm Said:

    So, so happy for you! Isn’t it funny how out of routine we become when something (or something;) great comes into our life? I know the feeling. :)

  16. Allie (Live Laugh Eat), on December 2nd, 2009 at 10:52 pm Said:

    JOSIE GROSIE!? You didn’t tell me THAT happened!! You have no idea how happy I am for you. So. genuinely. happy. And a rose? What a guy!!

    I’m going to have to start hitting up the gym at 6 am too :) Although in that state not even a dog would talk to me hahaha

    Oops, I meant to say “someone” on that second “something.” =P

    AHHHH this is all too exciting!!! I’m so ready for some daily updates with this so-called SETH!

    And honestly, I think your readers need some background info! Interests (besides working out ;) ), major, personality, general look?!?!? :-D

    Love you girl! So excited for ya-and seriously, that parfait looks killer! XOXO

    Haha, I’m a bit baffled by this lovesick Caroline. But then, I don’t get love at all. But as long as you’re happy! ;-)
