Tomboy

Today’s lunch hit the spot!

I always look forward to eating lunch, but some days I feel overly excited to dig into my lunch bag!

Today was one of those days.

I used leftover trout from last night’s dinner to make a trout salad by combining light Miracle Whip, honey mustard and dill.

I then spread the trout salad on an everything bagelthin and served it up with a side of Chobani strawberry banana Greek yogurt and a stick of Colby jack cheese.

Loved this lunch.

The saltiness from the trout bagelwich was perfectly offset by the creamy Greek yogurt.

Hooray!

Julie the Tomboy

Earlier today Heather tweeted to me about the Baby-sitter’s Club, saying my hair reminded her of Dawn, one of the main characters in the popular books who had blonde hair.

I laughed because when I was younger, my friends and I made our own babysitter’s club, with each of us assigned to one of the characters.

I was Dawn. (I actually have a picture to prove this very story, but fear my friends would all drop out of my wedding if I posted it on the blog. 😉 )

Truth be told, I didn’t want to be Dawn. I wanted to be Kristy, the tomboy.

When I was in elementary school, I was basically a boy. I wore “Shoot like a Girl” t-shirts, Umbros, baggy sweatshirts and sneakers. My hair was always in a pony tail.

Eventually my interests changed, but I still laugh looking back at pictures of the little boy I once was. 😉
