Burnt Ends and the Back 9

Ohhh, no…this isn’t a post about barbecue…though that would be delicious.

It’s about the fact that I just burned my thumb on my broiler…yah. Not fun. The ironic part was that I had just gotten back from errands where I had planned to buy an ice cube tray…since I had no ice and was sort of feelin’ like an iced coffee in the morning (not gonna happen)….didn’t buy the ice cube tray…then burned my thumb. Life likes play those little jokes every once in a while, huh? haha

My thumb is fine – nothing a few minutes under cold, running water couldn’t fix. :)

Today was a great day! Pretty cool out, but still sunny and beautiful. A day off equals “sleeping in” aka get up at 9. I woke up craving Panda Puffs. I seriously love how crunchy they are…and they stay crunchy!

It’s funny because a week or so… ago – a reader asked how I always eat so little for breakfast – and, it’s true, I never really ate a sit-down breakfast because I never really was hungry…but my reintroduction to amazing cereals has sort of changed that…well, at least on mornings where I’m not rushing out the door. Even if those cereals are perhaps meant for the 10 and under age group…. :)

My cereal and milk were eaten out of a water glass this morning..feeling fancy? Nope. Forget to run the dishwasher yesterday? Yup. :)

I also sipped on my standard coffee throughout the morning.

I spent the majority of the morning and early afternoon going through all of my school stuff – books, papers, notebooks, note cards, worksheets…basically all the clutter that accumulates over a semester. I figured it’d be good to go through it now, instead of digging through it while trying to study for finals. :)

Lunch was the last of my amazing lil’ tortillas, with French Onion Laughing Cow, mixed herbs and greens and Dietz and Watson’s Buffalo Style Chicken Breast. Deeelicious.

Also munched on some snacks throughout the afternoon:

I got a lot of work done this afternoon. Woo. Hopefully it’ll make the latter part of this week a little less strenuous. Dinner was delicious (and totally worth the injury, haha). I had Morningstar Farm’s Buffalo Wings with honey mustard and peas. Obviously not the most creative meal in the world – but very satisfying! :)

Okay, I do have to say I’m SUPER excited for premiere of the back 9 (episodes) of GLEE! starting tonight!!!

  • Any one else out there a major GLEEK??

As a former choral singer and musical theatre geek…this is my jam so to speak..haha.

Usin' the ole bean

Hey hey hey. Ahhh, it feels so good to be done with midterms!! I don’t really know how I did on my last one (I feel like I never get a good night’s sleep before exams for this one, specific course). However, I did the best that I could and racked the ole bean for every possible answer. *sigh*

I’m only one day of 2 classes away from Spring Break and I’m so so so so so happy. :-D

In the process of editing my photos, I realized how … monotone my eats were today. For that – apologies!!

I started off with a homemade latte – briiiight and early (5am). Definitely needed. I spent the morning going over final details of study guides and all that jazz.

I also grabbed another skinny hazelnut latte from Starbucks on my way to class in the morning..the caffeine was definitely needed.

Since my course has two sections, we spent the first half reviewing, and when we had a break – I fueled up with a LUNA. Yum. :) Even if food didn’t help my think more clearly, it definitely calmed my nerves to munch on something.

After surviving the day, I came home and fueled up on some apricots and some White Chocolate Wonderful — more than what is shown in these pics. haha

I am not gonna lie – I napped this afternoon. I ran some errands and then I crashed. It felt reallllly good, and what was even better? Time for dinner when I woke up! haha :)

On the menu, Trader Joe’s Black Bean Soup with Sriracha and some toasted tortilla for dippage. I did enjoy this – but it wasn’t my favorite. I think I expected it to be thicker. I will probably buy again, but I might enhance it with some incredients of my own.

Tonight, I’m determined to get everything done for tomorrow so that I can spend the day out and about and then I have dinner plans tomorrow night! Yay!

P.S. HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY, KATHARINE!!!!

Hope you all are fabulous! Happy hump day!

Food & Fashion. Is there anything better?

Hello lovelies!! I hope everyone had an amazing Monday!! Rarely can I say that I truly enjoy a Monday (that isn’t during a vacation…haha), but today was an exception.It was absolutely stunning out. It was one of those days that makes you think that winter might actually be over…however, I don’t trust New England weather that much…sooo I’m not holding my breath for this weather to continue – however, I am enjoying it to the fullest!!

Last night was the Academy Awards!! Who watched?! I really enjoyed the show…I was especially happy for Sandra Bullock…she is truly an amazing, humble person (well, from what I hear).

I watched all of the red carpet pre-shows – E!’s was by far my favorite…ABC’s…was awkward. Their interviewers were … awkward….especially Kathy Ireland. People are commenting on her being drunk or on some sort of drug…but honestly, I think it was that she was nervous and that she was completely inexperienced at what she was doing…I think she scared some of the people she interviewed. Kudos for the try, though – I know I probably would not have fared much better.

I love, love, love the fashion, makeup, etc…and these are a few of my faves:

I know it's easy for a guy to put on a tux...but he's just so darn beautiful I couldn't resist.

White is hard to pull off, and Meryl looks beautiful and poised...as always.

I absolutely adore Kate, and I think she looked beautiful.

On to my eats! Even though today was beautiful, it didn’t make it much easier to get out of bed after staying up to watch the show. I crawllllled out of bed and made myself a nice hot cup of coffee. :)

My first couple of classes went by without a hitch, and I enjoyed these suckers during a small break.

I walked home (soaking up the sun!) and once back at my apartment threw open allll of the windows. I love how alive the city becomes on gorgeous days like this.

I enjoyed some string cheese, a banana and White Chocolate Wonderful for an afternoon snack/lunch deal.Delicious.

And I sat down and began to tackle my color-coded to-do list.

And dinner came a little early. Hungry.Hungry.(Hippos).

On the menu…none other than my torilla pizza. I know, I know – I’m sorry to keep repeating it, but it’s just so darn good…I CRAVE it!

Tonight – I hope to get most of my French study guide finished – just so that I can really buckle down tomorrow afternoon because I’ve got a couple of meetings throughout the day. Fancy-schmancy. haha

I hope you all are fabulous!!!!

  • Did you have a favorite moment or fashion or ANYTHING from the Oscars??

Mine was definitely Sandy winning – she wholeheartedly deserved that, in my opinion.OH!! AND Neil Patrick Harris at the beginning – I love him, too and that was fabbbulous!!

Love.Love.Love.
