Today has seemed so long…not in a bad way…I just feel like the morning was light years ago. I got a ton done and had some fun mixed in there, too!

I’m feeling really sleepy (I know at like 8pm, what is this?) so I think this will be a short one.

My day consisted of classes, beautiiiiful weather, getting lunch with my dad and his wife – and more enjoyment of the beautiful weather….OH! and my brother won a free JetBlue ticket today! Jealous!!!

Anyway – eats:

I do have to say I was really excited to spot Biscoffs in the store!! Love these little babies!

I hope you are doing well – I think this will be a pretty low-key week for me…amazin! I have a long weekend to look forward to – Patriot’s Day is next Monday AKA MARATHON MONDAY!! Woopwoop this will be my first time in the city for the Boston Marathon!

  • Anyone out there running it??

Now that's an alarm…

Evening beauties! And wow…it is evening. Almost 9pm. A late post for me!!

Today has been…eventful. First…set my alarm for 8…it’s technically my day off so I consider that getting up early. Literally 5 minutes before 8….MY FIRE ALARM GOES OFF!! For noooo reason!!! Scared the living begeezus out of me… I now know that if there ever was a real fire — in the middle of the night — I would be a mess. I was up…blind because in my scared sh*tless state I just jumped up and forget to put my glasses on…hands shaking…what to do, what to do?! haha

I was a mess.

That all happened in about 30 seconds…cuz that’s how long the alarm went off for..and then it stopped. Random.

Anyway — after that , I tried to lay down just to calm myself…didn’t work so I figured what the heck…I’m already wiiide awake – might as well add some delicious caffeine to that. Hazelnut latte it was — and granted I know it’s caffeine, but the warm drink did help settle me down.

Liquid gold..to me anyway

I had…errr, make that HAVE…tons of work today — combination of a short week, a missed day and general procrastination. Totes my fault…I’ll admit it. I spent my day off — on campus. ALL day. I worked on a paper, reading, French and my design project (again whyyyy do I need to know this?)….oh I also got my grub on.

Salad  à la Donahue Cafe.

Spinach, edamame, white beans, red and spicy peppahs, and since I didn't have to go near anyone...red onion

Twas delish.

Got home…broke out a little Cranberry fruit “leather” – except it was anything but leathery and delish! It was chewy and soft, and not expected but it was nice! The flavor was great, too.

Dinner was purchased — sushhhhi! :-D Whole Foods sushi at that. Happy belly.

Oh — don’t mind the messy plate…I ate the first four…and then realized I needed a pic. :)

Today was glorious though — because it was grocery shoppppin! Woo. I love it, and it was desperately needed.

To preface, no — I did not do my grocery shopping at WF…only the fruit leather and sushi got picked up there. haha

Came away with a bunch of goodies:

WW tortillas, cheese sticks, shredded cheese, BBQ sauce, apples, bananas, frozen: corn, peas & spinach, seltzer water

The filled up both my fridge and my freezer nicely:

Oh, whaddup booze

Whew…so I’m good and stocked up for a while! haha

I hope you all are doing well!! I’ve been lost in homework all night — I couldn’t believe when I looked at the clock and it was almost 9pm and I hadn’t posted anything!! haha

Almost the weekend…yayyy!!

  • How do you cope with stress?

I’ll admit…I do not always cope well — but I’ve definitely been doing better. If it’s really bad… power naps or  hot, hot showers always help.

Yep — that’s what it felt like today. The wind was UNBELIEVABLE. It seriously PUSHED me, and there were points where I held my breath because if I breathed I would suck in too much air because of the wind. It was crazy, and probably the coldest day of the year so far…eww. Spring, come quickly! We need you!

I couldn’t fall asleep last night ’cause of the wind..so I was up until at least two — and so I hit the snooze a few times and got up a half-hour later than usual. Still, I’m thinking tonight will be an early one. :)

I made myself an unpictured latte (huuuge)…gulped that down, and endured two classes before grabbing an (again, unpictured) apple and later a cheese stick. The day went by smoothly enough, but yeah…I’m happy to be home. I grabbed a coffee on the way home…more out of a need for something hot than the need for caffeine. I took the T — it was waay too cold to walk — and grabbed some sushi on the way home, too.

By the time I actually sat down for “lunch” it was 5pm. The sushi was so delicious. Exactly what my bod needed — that and a warm blanket and relaxation. :)

Dinner will be late tonight (considering my 5pm lunch-time)…however, it will consist of “meat”balls and bell peppers. Not sure on the specifics, but I have no doubt it’ll be delicious. I just knew that I’d probably be exhausted by the time I ate so I figured I’d post prior to my final eats.

Aside from an awkward eating schedule, today has been great. I am so happy it is the weekend, and surprisingly I don’t have a ton of work to do before Monday. So it shall be a weekend of fun, relaxation and general merriment. :-P

I hope your week went well!! and even if it didn’t — it’s the weekend! Wooo!

Anyone got any great plans??

Kink…os

Evening lovelies. How’d everyone’s Tuesday go?? Mine has been pretty busy, considering I didn’t have any classes.

One nice thing…got to sleep in. Miracle. Especially considering they are doing construction in my apartment building right now. I think they might be the quietest, most considerate construction men, everrrrr. I’ve barely heard them…and they definitely did not wake me up. Thumbs up to them. *knock on wood that is stays that way*

Once I was up…decided it was latte time. I broke out my fave little guy:

I made myself a pot of espresso and assembled a latte. Yumm.

So I sipped on that while I got ready for the day. Perhaps the surge of caffeine is what I can blame this picture on:

I honestly...don't.even.know.

Also, welcome to my bathroom. hahaha

I was out and about doing some errands for a while…had to get to Kinkos/FedEx Office (the store says that it’s now FedEx Office, but still has the huge FedEx Kinkos sign on it…). It was seriously gorrrgeous out. Especially considering yesterday, it was awesome. So I faxed my little heart out and almost witnessed a brawl as the two women behind me fought over who was next in line…yah. Calm down peoples.

I also stopped by the grocery store and picked some more DCD…I’m addicted and officially have “stocked’ pb in my apartment. haha I also picked up some lunch….sushiii.

It looks pretty, but it was just alright…doesn’t compare to the sushi at Whole Food’s. There was too much cucumber…it made them almost watery tasting. …needless to say I ate it though.

Still hungry, I noshed on my last twisty string cheese.

Later, I got impatient while waiting for dinner to be ready and had a couple spoons worth of CRS…dangerous.

add.ict.ive.

Dinner though was lovely combo of sweet potato fries (also known as cheetahs to some) and some spicy spinach. Actually..I ate the whole box of spinach…hahahaha.

Ahh, so I’ve got a hugggh jasss amount of work to do tonight…I’ve been doing it all day — and I can at least say that everything I need to do for tomorrow is done — but I sitll have a ton to do for Friday. I had wanted to go to this movie night at my school tonight (which is 1/2 over by now anyway), but I just had too much work to do. They were showing Couples Retreat and I love Vince Vaughn…boo, wish I could have gone.

Oh well. Time for me to work my booty off — for a whole 10 more minutes and then inevitably get sucked into Biggest Loser (or at the very least the last 10 minutes of BL).

I just want to hug Bob. Anyone else? haha

Have a great night loves!!

Coups & Soups

Evening everyone!! Happpy Friday! :) Well…at this point — HAPPY WEEKEND!

Today was a productive day. I was up verrrry early because I fell asleep extremely early last night. I think I fell asleep around 8:45 or 9 — which meant..BING at 4:15 I was wide awake. I made myself stay in bed until 5:30 because I was hoping I would fall back asleep.

I got up, and before anything — tuned into my OnDemand and did about 25 minutes of yoga. It was glorious.

After that I cleaned up (aka took a looong shower) and made myself some tea. I checked up on some e-mail and blogs that I had missed falling asleep so early, and just relaxed on the couch for a while.

I put together a list of everything I needed to get done today — and thought about the best possible way to get all of those things done with the least amount of travel. haha I needed to pick up a book at the bookstore, go grocery shopping at more than one grocery store (love Trader Joe’s but there’s always a few things that they just don’t have), etc. etc. etc.

I got a move on around 10-ish (I relaxed for a while, k?? hahaha), and made a quick stop into my fave haunt – Starbucks – and got myself a venti Skinny Hazelnut Latte (you know how I do)…I got it free with a coup they sent me. Woohooo for a coup and no drink size limit!! I first went to the bookstore to pick up the very last textbook that I needed. It was an ordeal and they couldn’t find it at first — but I have it now…I have TOO many books this semester — oyyy.

I felt no shame taking this picture while waiting for the T — there are many people doing weirder things that taking pictures of their coffee. haha

Anyway, while at the store – I decided to make a trip into Whole Foods — seeing as it was riiiight there. :) I perused the aisles, and stumbled on some Cinnamon Raisin Swirl by Peanut Butter & Co. (I was looking for Mighty Maple..but I can’t find it anyyyywhere!). I haven’t tried that flavor before, and it was on “special” — so it was cheappoo. I said, “Why not?!” I also picked up some split peas and some sushi to soothe my hungry tummy.

I haven’t tried it yet – hope it’s good.

The wasabi I added post paparazzi attack was a good solution to the sinus issues I’ve been having. haha

After noshing on the delish sushi, I headed to Trader Joe’s - where as always – bargain mania. They had rearranged the store since the last time I was there so I must’ve looked like a lost puppy wandering around. haha I came away with a damn good haul or fruits, veggies, milk, flax, uhh…what else did I get? haha Either way — my fridge now has food in it where as before — it had a Brita, champagne, Smart Balance and that’s it. haha

A full fridge is a happy fridge — okay so it’s not all that full…but I am only one girl! haha And a lot of my stuff doesn’t need to live in the fridge. :)

This evening I set to work making split pea soup. Nom. It came out pretty good — I didn’t want to add bacon or ham so I subbed in some curry powder for a smokier taste. Yum. I also added spinach — nutritious and it makes it look a heck of a lot more appetizing. haha Dollop of Fage for fun.

I’ll be eating this fooo-eva. It made so much. haha

I hope everyone survived their week and has some fun planned for the weekend!!
