It’s been one of those weeks.
I’m not really sure what day it is…
I started the week in San Diego, now I’m in Vegas, and I’m driving back to San Diego tonight. What’s more confusing is that this weekend in San Diego it POURED down rain. I thought it wasn’t supposed to rain in paradise?! (Actually this is a good thing since California is having a drought.)
It was also Pride weekend, so I watched the wet hot mess from a bar.
What’s even funnier is that when we got to Vegas it was raining. We took advantage of a break in the clouds for an afternoon walk.
The sky is so pretty in the dessert after a storm!
Needless to say, it’s an interesting WIAW. Check it out and then link up with Jenn and then check out everyone else’s delicious eats!
Breakfast:
I had the usual morning cocktail and morning sludge.
Breakfast was a little #yolkporn action on top of an open faced BLT and smashed avocado. And a side of cantaloupe – they’re so sweet right now!
Lunch:
We spent the day working on getting the last of the stuff out of Vegas’ house in Vegas. With everything being packed away we had to resort to fast food lunch. I was actually pleasantly surprised by my grilled chicken salad from Wendy’s!
The chicken was a bit salty, but the lettuce was fresh and the blue cheese and strawberries were good.
Snack:
There were nuts, a Quest bar, and a beer (or two… or three…) but I didn’t stop for pics. Vegas was working me like a slave driver. 😉
Dinner:
Sometimes dinner is wine, popcorn, and M&Ms at the move theater after a day of work. I did Vegas a solid and agreed to go see Ant-Man.
(It was actually good… but don’t tell her I just admitted that.)

Did you see Ant Man?
What is your fast food go-to in a pinch?
debbie says
I think it’s extremely unlikely I’ll see Antman, especially since my spouse won’t make me :-). Only because he has no idea what it is, I’m sure.
Niki @ Life With Niki says
#YolkPorn is my FAVORITE hashtag!!! The combo with cantaloupe sounds so interesting, now I want to try it!
Tara @ Sweat like a Pig says
If it’s any consolation, I never have any idea what day it is! And I would kill for some rain right about now. It’s been over 98 degrees constantly since I arrived in Italy and I’m DYING.
Laura says
Oy… you should come to San Diego! It’s 75. Every day.
Carla says
oh Im so so so with tara and would DO ANYTHING fer a good rain as my craptastic a/c is threatening to quit
wait
did I make this all about me? 🙂
Laura says
A crappy A/C is a good reason to make it about you! I couldn’t believe that the house we moved into had no heat or air… but I couldn’t do that back home!
Michele @ paleorunningmomma says
That breakfast is perfect!
Liz @ I Heart Vegetables says
So weird about all the rain! (But good for California, for sure!) I’m liking the looks of your dinner 😉
Megan @ Skinny Fitalicious says
We were supposed to get that rain and it never came. I was so disappointed.
Laura says
Looks like we’ll have LOTS of chances this summer. Crazy El Nino!
Lee says
Does Jimmy John’s count as fast food? I sometimes get that when I can’t leave the office for lunch and didn’t bring anything.
Laura says
Jimmy John’s is a little too good to be fast food. LOL! Kidding… wish we had them here!
Heather@hungryforbalance says
Chipotle is our favorite fast food in a pinch. But that salad from Wendy’s does actually look good! M&Ms, popcorn, and wine for dinner sound like a much needed reward after a day of hard work!
Maureen says
Can you send some of that rain about 5 hours North? It’s been so hot & gross here….then the AC crashed. I definitely agree that wine and popcorn can count as dinner once in awhile!
melissa says
ooh ‘i love a good runny yolk! yum yum yum. I want some now, actually.
and yes, we’re adults – popcorn (or ice cream, fill in the blank) for dinner sometimes is exactly what we need 🙂
Laura says
It’s the best part of being a grown up!
tiff @ love, sweat, & beers says
Wow Wendy’s… sometimes ya just never know with fast food salads.
Pip {Cherries & Chisme} says
WOW that is a lot of rain! It looks a bit like Buenos Aires in a storm, everything stops. No buses, no cabs, nothing. At it’s a 100% legit excuse for being late for work 😉
I could do with one of those dinners today… I know what you mean! Hope your confusion sorts out soon.
Laura says
It was crazy – especially since people here never see rain. They were fascinated. 🙂
Deborah @ Confessions of a Mother Runner says
I didn’t even know it could rain in Vegas.My hubs was there last week for poker and it was like 110 degrees. It’s rained a ton here in DC this summer so I don’t have to water my plants 🙂
Laura says
I heard the East coast is getting pummeled! People back home are posting constant flooding pics. Yuck!
Liz says
Sometimes you just need M&Ms, Popcorn, and wine. 🙂
Marissa says
Great eats:) I haven’t seen ant man..I have to say I’ve heard a lot of mixed reviews about it. Glad to hear you liked it…And jealous of your theater food! I love movie popcorn…
Laura says
It isn’t going to win an Oscar, but it was a really cute movie!
Sabrina @ Nutritiously Sweet says
If I have a Starbucks near, I’ll get their protein box, if not, Subway all the way!
Sam @ Better With Sprinkles says
Wendy’s salads aren’t too bad! One of my go-to fast food options if I’m not feeling a burger or something more traditional fast food-ish.
Stephanie @ Wholesome Paradise says
#yolkporn is growing on me. Not the hashtag but the actual runny yolks. I used to have a huge celeb crush on Paul Rudd when he was in Clueless. He would be my main reason for wanting to see Antman. But I doubt I’ll see it in the theatre. Probably gonna wait for it to be released on Netflix.
Laura says
It was a good theatre show just because you can see it in 3-D, but it’ll be good on Netflix too. Why are movies SO expensive?!
Mary Legare Whaley says
Sounds like to dominated the move! That breakfast looks awesome…minus the cantaloupe. I just can’t get into melon. I’ve always viewed it as filler fruit, mostly because fruit salads are always 90% honeydew + cantaloupe and 10% good fruit.
The last movie I saw in a theater was Black Swan. I kid you not. I don’t like to spend the money. And honestly, movie previews rarely catch my attention. I’m more enticed by a TV series than a movie.
My fast food go-to is always Subway. My lame meal of choice is the foot long veggie sub. No meat. No cheese. It’s basically a hefty tomato sandwich with lettuce, black olives, banana peppers, pickles, and spicy mustard. On wheat. YUM.
Mary Legare Whaley says
Sounds like “you” dominated the move… I hate that I can’t edit a post.
Laura says
That shit drives me nuts too!
Laura says
I’m really not a movie person either. I did see Black Swan in theaters. And Les Mis. I think the most recent was Wild with Vegas. I hated it.
AwesomelyOZ says
I heart avocados so much and I could eat eggs everyday and literally do. The yolk is seriously my favorite part. 🙂 Glad California finally got some rain – it’s been a heck of a drought they’ve been experiencing over there! Have a great weekend Laura! -Iva
Lucie@FitSwissChick says
San Diego and Vegas. Best time of my life.
Laura says
Come back. Now.
