Sometimes and Always #28

Sometimes: I forget to eat before I go grocery shopping. 

Always: That's what happened yesterday. Now we have Oreos and chocolate chip cookies. 

Sometimes: I have so much fun intentionally annoying my hubby (like last night when he was watching some horrible loud war movie). 

Always: He doesn't even get mad...he's a champ!


Sometimes: I decide not to clean my house for a week...or two. 

Always: When I can see the layer of dust on everything, it motivates me to clean. 

Sometimes: I try to think of a complete and healthy meal for dinner. 

Always: I prefer to snack...like with this whole bowl of guacamole. Yum. 


Sometimes: My heart aches because of all the pain and suffering in the world. 

Always: I'm so glad that through Jesus we are freed from it. 

Sometimes: I laugh when people say, "YOU have a PIT BULL?!"

Always: He's the biggest baby ever...such a momma's boy. 

Sweet Diesel. 

Now say a little hello to my sweet sponsor (and friend!) Anna as she shares a few Sometimes/Always with us. She loves her hubby...and she's a nurse...and she's funny...so that definitely makes her one of my favorites! : ) She's also the cutest thing on a bike that I've ever seen. She actually makes exercise seem like fun! Don't miss out on her sweet blog!


Hello there, soon-to-be-friends! I'm Anna, I blog over at The Days When I'm Not a Nurse. Just to warn you, it's going to get all bikey on my blog soon. Husband and I are participating in our first charity rides this summer and I WILL be posting about it. Plus, we both celebrate our birthdays in the summer (June for me, July for him), so there will be cake involved. :) I promise, I do talk about other stuff too. Like being a nurse. Intrigued? Come over and say hi, I love to meet other bloggers! 

Sometimes: Dinner fills up my belly.

Always: I can squeeze in dessert. 

Sometimes: I watch TV when I go to the gym. 

Always: It's on the Food Network channel.

Oh, I am the same with the grocery store! If I don't eat first (or I don't have a big lunch and I have to stop and pick something up on my way home from work for dinner that night), I am SUCH an impulse shopper. I almost always go grocery shopping on a Saturday morning with my mom (she lives a couple miles away and it's our mother-daughter time), so she makes sure I eat something, and I make sure we stick to our lists. :)

I would have eaten that whole bowl of guac too ... I love guac! It is one of my favorite foods!

Somehow I always wind up grocery shopping when I'm starving! And I always end up with tons of unplanned goodies in my cart, ha! I have no self control at all.

What a cute doggie! And rule #1 Never go grocery shopping when you're hungry ! :)

Leslie said...

Biggest mistake ever is not eating before grocery shopping... it's bad on the wallet. haha! I come home with all kinds of crazy snack foods.

Valerie said...

I just LOVE that you have a pit. Seriously, could there be a more perfect dog out there?

Michaela said...

I can vouch... Diesel is a baby :)

Neely said...

Im the same way about grocery shopping

Nikole E! said...

guacamole is so delicious!
and why do people love stereotypes?! I think your pit bull is precious : ]

Courtney B said...

Guac gets me every time! YUM!
It used to be bad news when I went to the grocery store hungry, I bought all the junk I could find :) But now if I go to the grocery store hungry?? I get sick and try to get out of there as fast as I can. Pregnancy is weird!
And your pitbull looks adorable! My parents have 2 boxers that are the biggest babies EVER! I guess they look intimidating? But the most they'd do is lick you to death, ha ha!

Faith said...

haha, it is so true about the pit bull thing ... but mine is the sweetest ever. but it is nice to say i have one because no one wants to mess with me, haha ;)

and yes, grocery shopping when hungry is the worst idea. i always spend more and tons of junk food gets thrown in the cart.

Rebekah said...

Not eating before grocery shopping is the worst! I'm turning into a snacker with Dylan gone. Diesel has the sweetest little face!

I love irritating my husband too. Especially that people who like game of thrones are nerds and that no one cares about hockey. I agree with Anna. There's always room for dessert!

Lauren said...

i am such a snack person and my boyfriend is not...i see him giving me the side-eye everytime i reach for that bag of goldfish.

and your pup is TOO CUTE. Pit bulls have a bad rep and they shouldn't. they are amazing, sweet dogs and yours looks amazing!

Erin said...

I'm pretty much a professional snacker! I would totally eat guac and chips and salsa every day for a meal if I could ;) Maybe that's why I keep gaining weight... oops!!

Nicole said...

Completely agree about the grocery store thing! That's always a terrible trip!

Lisa Stepi said...

your dog is adorable.

Jasmine said...

Your Guacamole looks amazing. I wish there was some way I could taste it through the screen. I was supposed to make some for this holiday weekend and never made it back to the store for the ingredients.

Allison said...

Your pit bull is so cute and it's sad they have a bad rep because people train them to be mean. I grew up with a Rottweiler and it was the sweetest dog ever, but people did the same thing with us..."you have a Rottweiler? Ah."

Katy said...

I hate when I go to the grocery store hungry. We always end up with a bunch of ice cream when that happens...

Ashley said...

I totally do the same with the grocery store! suddenly everything looks SOO yummy!!


your pit bull toootallly looks like a little mamas boy....too cute!

Kristin said...

Forgetting to eat before grocery shopping is the worst! Many a bad decision has been made that way...

Amanda said...

Hahahaha I love the response about Diesel :) He's too sweet to do any harm! 4 more days until our puppy arrives!!!

~Katie said...

Haha. I love the pit bull one. People always say,
"you let him sleep with you?!?". He's the best cuddle buddy next to my husband!

Nicole said...

haha, I do similar things when going to the store. No good! :)

Liz said...

I walked right passed the oreos last night those double stuffed were calling my name. Mmm with a little peanut butter mmmmm. Love quac too!! We serve an amazing God!!! Matthew 11:28

Haley W. said...

Oh my, I HATE when I forget to eat before the grocery store..so tragic. Haha!

Your pit bull is adorable. It annoys me that everyone thinks they're so vicious. Not true! To be honest, I've never met one that wasn't as sweet as sugar.

Alisha said...

Hehehe I love these link ups!! You guys are just too darn cute. I didn't know that Diesel was a pit. So is Astro!! We should have a play date :)

Hope you have a great day, Megan!

Traci said...

I absolutely LOVE GUACAMOLE!!!

Fran said...

Guacamole is dah best!

Holly said...

Aww! That photo of Diesel is so cute! He totally doesn't look like a scary dog that wants to eat me. :)

Shalyn said...

I can so relate to a couple of these- my heart aches as well for the way the world is. Sometimes its hard to stand it and makes me feel so small. Also- my husband forces me to eat before we shop. And I still end up with Oreos, ha
