Today has just been one of those days!! I was in my PJs until noon waiting for KERF to fix herself. And I decided I’d had enough of my VPS and moved to a dedicated server. Luckily Dreamhost makes that very easy to do internally : ) Due to the cost of memory, I’m now paying the same per month that I paid for my shared server for a dedicated one. Hopefully the only thing that can crash it now is you guys playing too much!
I finally brushed my teeth. Finally showered. And I’ve been catching up on my to-do list all morning.
Lunch interlude. I made a pretty nice one considering there’s nothing green in our fridge!
Scrambled eggs have been on my brain since the BlogHer breakfast. They were so good! I scrambled two of them to put atop of some Cville Crunch bread with blue d’auvergne on top. Delicious!!
On the side – some barely sauteed tomatoes and leftover zucchini I found in a tupperware
And a plum!
In the talk of Android keyboards, I actually found a Swype one!! It’s called SlideIt and I think it’s even faster than the Perfect Keyboard option. I need to leave the house so I can test it out!!
I was sad to have to miss Body Pump today. I debated all kinds of other exercise and then I decided it was stressing me out so I eliminated it from my to-do list. Ahhhh much better. Rest day it is!
Sara @ lemony snippet says
Looks so good – I don’t like scrambled eggs on their own but I LOVE them with a bit of strongly flavored cheese.
Claire @ Live and Love to Eat says
Neverending Story was one of my favorite movies as a kid – now I have the themesong stuck in my head!
Christin says
me too!!
Balancing Sylvia says
Oh goodness, your food looks delicious! Did you do something different with the photography? For some reason it seems so crisp and vibrant today. They always look great, but something’s special about these one today. I’m glad you’re back up and worked it out. 🙂 Have a good rest of your day.

I agree! The lighting and highlights are different? 😀 They’re always so pretty though either way.
Kate (What Kate is Cooking) says
I was thinking about going to Body Pump today but I forgot I have to work tonight! Ugh!!
[email protected] says
Mmmmmm love everything on the plate, seriously! Have a beautiful day Kath
Namaste Gurl says
Looks yummy for not having any food 🙂 That’s what being creative is all about!
Rest up!
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen says
the egg + blue cheese combo looks amazing right now. Holy yum!
Katelyn @ Chef Katelyn says
I love Swype!!!! G-frand I am looking that up!!
Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga says
“so I eliminated it from my to-do list. Ahhhh much better.”–
Isn’t it amazing what just eliminating ONE THING can do for stress levels.. Good for you!
And great that you found a keyboard. NICE
What a great red lookin’ feast…the tomatoes and the plums. Awesome!
Jennifer says
I’m not a huge egg fan myself. But I must admit that yours look great!!
I’m also scared of cheeses. I stick to my favorites and rarely try new ones!
Cait @ Cait hates Cake says
Good luck w/ the Swype keyboard. It takes a bit to get used to, but once you get the hang out of you’ll find it much faster!
Ash @ Good Taste Healthy Me says
Yum, I love blue cheese!
Trainer Kjirsten @ Balanced Healthy Life says
Sometimes its just easiest to eliminate anything that doesn’t have to get done on a certain day. It makes to do list seem much more manageable and less stressful for that matter. I do this a lot and usually take cleaning the house and laundry of my list but then I always get stuck doing it the next day. But hey, at least I wasn’t stressing over everything to get done!
Estela @ Weekly Bite says
I could eat scrambled eggs for every meal! Looks delicious 🙂
VeggieGirl says
Beautiful photos!! I cant wait to get my new camera and upgrade beyond my point and shoot! What do you use?
KathEats says
Thanks, I have the Canon XSI DSLR with a 35mm f/2.0 lens
Donna @ Life of a Happy Blonde says
Love the idea of that cheese crumbled on top of the eggs!
If working out = stress, its not worth it
I always do so much better in my classes if i have the time and am mentally prepared vs. rushing in and out and thinking of a million things during!
Dee says
I love swype! It’s seriously changed my texting life. Lol.
Jessica says
The cheese on the eggs is making my mouth water.
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
Ooh yum I adore scrambled eggs. Might have to have some for dinner tonight!
Paige @ Running Around Normal says
Those tomatoes look incredible! As does the plum…which I actually haven’t had yet this summer! Need to change this, stat.
Hilary says
Glad to hear that KERF is back up and running…looks like more good eats, as usual (although I must admit, I would swap out the bleu for another kind of cheese).
Gina (Yogattude) says
Yum, hot tomatoes! I’m obsessed with roasting tomatoes and serving as a relish a-top a white fish this summer!
Lynda @ healthy hoboken girl says
love a rest day! enjoy, happy Monday!
Cait's Plate says
Sometimes just allowing yourself to rest is the best thing. I was dead exhausted when I got home from my vacation and I really didn’t want to work out – whenever working out becomes more of a stressful idea than a “feel good” idea I know it’s my body telling me just not to push it.
So glad you got your KERF issues all worked out – my life is sad when it’s not up! 😉
[email protected] says
Your lunch looked stunning! I love the idea of blue cheese on eggs.
When your body needs to rest – just rest – listening to your body is more important than something you feel you ‘should’ be doing.
Erika @ The Teenage Taste says
Your lunch looks amazing! I’ve been craving eggs like whoa lately. Glad to hear I’m not the only one. 🙂
Sarah says
It sounds like taking a rest day was a very wise decision. I hope your day is feeling so much more relaxing now:-).
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
I knew long ago that you would need a dedicated server! It’s a good problem to have, right? 🙂
KathEats says
I don’t think I outgrew the VPS but I agree it was time
Sarah @ Sarah's Modern Bites says
Isn’t it funny how sometimes on busy days just the act of trying to figure out fitting in exercise is super stressful!? Running relaxes me but when I have a tightly scheduled day I get very anxious trying to figure out how I will fit in exercise. I love how you embraced a rest day! I need to learn how to do that haha
That egg sandwich look insanely good by the way… with that blue. YUM!
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
Oooooh, that plum looks juicy! Yum!
Heather @ Get Healthy with Heather says
Scrambled eggs are the bomb… Never had them with blue cheese though! Glad everything is user control now 🙂
Deirdre says
So glad Kerf is fixed!
Baking N Books says
“Decided it was stressing me out so I eliminated it” – I love how you put that. Sometimes I get so over-whelmed and this “nagging” awful feeling – then I think – don’t do it. It really is that simple. Just drop it.
Now – if only I could just drop my need for car insurance. My rates have skyrocketed and are ridiculous! Anyone else struggle with this?!
Oye – bad case of the Mondays.
lynn @ the actor's diet says
i don’t think i ever saw “neverending story” as a kid. it might have scared me?!?
rumfunandsun says
Sometimes you just have to rest! So glad you are getting your blog issues under control but unfortunately I am still fighting with mine! It is slowing getting better and I am actually liking the way it’s turning out so eventually it will be perfect. I just need some patience. And now I’m thinking of the Guns N Roses song! LOL 🙂
Erica says
Glad everything is finally fixed! What a yummy lunch. You can never go wrong with good bread, cheese and eggs.
Julie H. of Spinach and Sprinkles says
Rest days that creep up on you are the ones that are the most needed!
Christin says
Oh! Okay…I was wondering about your server this morning actually…reading your blog (among a couple others) is one of my morning rituals when I finish my work emails…your site was down for a minute…glad it’s back! 🙂
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
mmm I LOVE eggs on toast. SO delish!
Kathryn says
Exercise should never be stressful – good to listen to your body! 🙂
Molly @ RDexposed says
Day after a cross country flight? Rest is mandatory! 🙂
kaila @ healthy helper! says
Mmmm eggs sound delish right now! I know what I’m having for breakfast!!!
Living, Learning, Eating says
*That* bread would be amazing with *this* peanut butter: http://livinglearningeating.wordpress.com/2011/08/08/nutella-vs-dark-chocolate-dreams-smackdown/
Hannah says
Look at those vibrant colours! Summer produce at its best 🙂
Lauren @ What Lauren Likes says
Woah. you defs know how to make people crave scrambled eggs and plums….haha 🙂
Angel7 says
Delish way to have scrambled eggs!

Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
Even though workouts only take up ~1 hour, it’s amazing how much more time there seems to be in a day when you don’t workout! I hope you enjoyed your rest day. 🙂
Shayla @ The Good Life says
I love this…I say “to hell with it” too when exercise decisions are stressing me out too much! Rest days are awesome and I hope you enjoyed yours. I had one today too…nothing better than the feeling of relaxing the body and muscles 🙂
Lexi @ A Spoonful of Sunshine says
I still crack up when I see the name of that cheese. I can’t help but try to repeat it out loud every time now 🙂
Khushboo says
Good idea on crossing off ‘body pump’..even though it’s essentially 1 hour, sometimes it’s not worth the hassle of trying to find the most efficient way to fit your day around it!
