What are your lunch plans today?
I got all my errands done this week. Now, what? Picked up peanut butter from Bark J’s for Apple Blueberry Zucchini Pupcakes? Check. Ran to Bark of America to make a few deposits? Check. Scheduled all those appointments I kept “putting off until tomorrow?” Check, and check. So, I guess there’s nothing left for me to do but chill during my lunch break this week. Interesting concept, right?
If I don’t have errands to run or a special event to attend, I usually take my lunch in my office or in the Pupcake Sugar break room. But today, I’m taking my lunch break outside.
Honestly, I don’t understand why I don’t do this more often. Eating lunch in the building doesn’t always give me the anticipated lunch break I look forward to. It’s hard to resist the urge to “answer that email real quick. It’s even harder to go unnoticed when someone says, “I know you’re at lunch, but let me just ask…”
Do you know how hard it is to take a break and enjoy your meal, when someone pops up with a question the second you take the first bite of your lunch? So, today I’m lunchin’ outside with my BFFs. No mid-bite interruptions for me. Plus, there are so many benefits to taking a lunch outside.
FRESH AIR WILL DO YOU SOME GOOD
There’s nothing like the smell of fresh pupcakes coming from the oven. But, fresh air is definitely a mood booster and helps me refocus when I get side tracked. Especially, when that new recipe I’m trying didn’t come out like I thought it would. Rather than wallow in the “my pupcakes didn’t turn out blues,” I find that stepping away for a few minutes to get some fresh air is the energy boost I need to start back up again.
“CRAZY IDEAS” COME WHEN YOU’RE NOT THINKING ABOUT THEM
Inspiration is everywhere. Especially, when you step outside. Most of my “crazy ideas” come when I’m away from all things Pupcake Sugar. Go figure. You’d be surprise what sparks a “crazy idea” when you’re outside experiencing the world.
KEEPS YOU SOCIAL
Remember, inspiration is everywhere. So are pups. Stepping outside gives you more opportunities to meet them. The more pups you meet, the more you open yourself up to more adventures. And, it’s like they (whoever they are) say…
If you want adventure take a step outside.
So, adventure it is. My BFFs and I found this great place in the park right next to South Hall to eat our lunch and yap it up for a few minutes. And, I brought some freshly baked Apple Blueberry Zucchini Pupcakes. One of the many perks of owning Pupcake Sugar.
We also found that this South Hall Shade is like no other. And, I’m dishin’ all about it. But first, I’d love to hear from you.
