hello birds!
how are you on this lovely sunday morning?!
i found these random two breakfasts
on my camera from a few days ago?
this one must be waaaay old because thats definitely dark chocolate dreams. which has been gone for a while now. im done off with another jar and a half since this breakfast. either which way. scrumptious.
i can always manage to get pictures of breakfast. then its all downhill from there. maybe i should reformat my blog? ;] [p.s. loooove that blog. so quaint!]
anywhoooo. onto bigger and better things. like yesterday!
i decided to channel my inner lolita yesterday and have a ‘sloth day‘.
[disregard that she worked all evening. and i did quite the opposite.]
so yes yes. sloth day. home makes me so laaaazy.
[and i certainly dont mean sexy.]
but i absolutely love it. aint no shame in being a big ole blob from time to time.
i woke up to a simple breakfast of sorts.
super bananical oats with peanut butter. and crooked coffee. hit the spot.
the oats were way hot and as i let them cool the peanut butter got super oozey.
[speechless.]
i putzed around the house. chilled with the cathmeister. yada yada.
lunch was pretty lame. our produce is seriously lacking as of current.
i usually opt for fresh romaine and spinach but all we had was some bagged stuff. it sufficed. topped with green bell pepper. pineapple and something or another salsa. and kashi fireroasted veggie crackers. [my fave flavor for sure.]
with a side of crooked cottage cheese and more kashi love.
throughout the day i munched on various things. such as:
this dish was overflowing when i got home yesterday. and the nibblage did not stop after this picture. man oh man do i love reeses.
im trying with all my might to unpack the stuff from my apartment but well.. yeah. anyways. i was looking through some boxes of stuff in my room [not apartment stuff. old room stuff.] and i found these gems:
i love my life.
our house is full of food. but theres nothing to eat. it drives me bonkers.
so dinner was a old favorite.
a crooked sweet potato. chickpeas. bbq sauce. bananas peppers. and then a little package of apple slices i found in the fridge. thanks subway.
[p.s. sorry for all the crooked shots. come on wordpress. dont be lame.]
either way. dinner was delish.
a bit later i met up with my gal brittany and we went uptown to some of the bars. let me just say that i live in a town of sixthousand [pretty sure thats including the livestock]. surrounded by cornfields. and cattle. and tractors. the bars are.. well. this sure aint no college campus. but i do love me a good nascar jacket.
we chitted and chatted and caught up. i flirted around with my fellah mister daniels. it was a good time for sure. our gal elaina showed up a bit later. i hadnt seen these gals much since high school. elaina is now married and brittany has a wee baby and is essentially engaged. dont worry. im still eternally single and horribly immature. nice.
a few fellas tried their darndest to get me to cheat on my boy jack with their friend jose but i wasnt havent it. i knew my gal tammy would never have it.
[im such a hick. yeehaw.]
anyways. i came home and polished off the hot and spicy cheez its. and the easter candy. mmmm.
there was obviously more chocolate and peanut butter action than shown here. but well. i was too busy eating to take pictures. oops.
then i passed out.
and now its sunday. sunday fun day. fun in the sun day. [?!]
what was the last thing you ate!?
ill tell you tomorrow chumps!

im back yall. woo hoo.
to be honest ive had a computer since monday
[ended up having to just buy a new one. so having
to wait the two weeks to see if my fatherman could
fix it was sort of for naught. cest la vie am i right?]
..but yeah. anyways. i just wasnt ready to get back
into the whole blogging thing. im still sort of not.
as in i havent been taking pictures of my eats. but
truuuuuuust me. ive been eating. in excess. yum!
obviously not a complete representation of what
i have been eating for the past two and a half or
so weeks but here are a few photos from when i
first stopped blogging and didnt know how long
my hiatus would be. lots and lots more peanut
butter. frozen yogurt. ice cream. cookies. etc etc.
also. nutritional things. in moderation of course. ;]
anyways. tonight and tomorrow are going to worktastical.
plan on regularly scheduled blogging to resume sunday. ish.
kisses!
did you miss me?

dude. why do all the attractive fellas gotta be tarlungs?
for reals. i saw several hecka fine [keep in mind..hormones]
gentlemen on my jaunt to class this afternoon and every
last one of the boneables was smoooking. gross gross gross.
anyways.
ANOCHE [thats last night my amigos]:
megamunchfest last night. i managed to snap a couple pics but man oh man was much more consumed.
the lovely dani at foodshouldtastegood was nice enough to send me some chippies to try out for the blog. these olive chips werent my favorite. but i dont like olives. so ya know. they were still pretty alright all things considered. and they definitely satisfied my salt craving. [for a bit. some honeychipotlechip with cottagecheese action occurred later on in the evening.]
now for the good stuff:
mmm. so good. edys loaded butterfinger. cheerios. peanut butter. and a chocolate vitatop. need i say more?
this was my first experience with vitatops. i mean. it was good. but like. not OH MY GOD AMAZING. i had higher expectations. dont get me wrong the box will not last long but i dont quite see what all the fuss is about.
also. i polished off the rest of this beaut:
thanks again heather! youre a total gem.
i stayed up way too late last night piddling/munching my life away.
and stealing from my roommates bag of candy and such. oops.
all i can say is thank god i love to run.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
i could NOT get out of bed this morning. which is totally fine since i dont have class until three on tuesday/thursdays. and i lack ambition.
then i started pondering breakfast and ZING what bed?
brace yourself. breakfast was a numbah one stunnah:
sweet wheat bagel. half with cottage cheese and some heated up frozen berries. the other half had a NEW peanut butter!!! and a few orange slices. totally hit the spot.
check out my new pal:
thanks to lovelies at pbloco this little buddy was the star of breakfast. mmmm. super sweet and artificial but so damn good. peanut butter. chocolate. bananas. how can you go wrong!?
then i crawled back into bed. but the stupid sun was shining all up in my business and making me feel guilty. ‘fiiiiiiiiiiiiiine sun. i will come suck you all up.’ aka i went for a splendid six mile run. it was great. i love being warm.
i should totally join in on lengs salad challenge. but im sure the second i commit ill run out of romaine. and i certainly cannot ahve that. plus im totally commitmentphobic. anyways. romaine. turkey. carrots. peppers. bbq/hummus/ricewinevinegar dressing of sorts. fone for CRUNCH. and apple wedges with cinnamon. i got mad love for cool crisp foods.
i was fixin to make some iced coffee to take to class. and i wanted some post lunch sweetness. aka i made my own little version of cocoa coffee. basically i just iced mine. and added a few glugs of soy milk since i dont do creamers and such. it was amazing. that bender knows whats up.
i brought along this larabar as well. PECAN PIE. i really liked it. which surprised me since pecans are probably my least favorite nut of sorts. and i dont like pie. bravo larabar. you done good. [thanks to my little lolita for sending me this little guy since i never would have opted to buy it for myself!]
class was pretty alright. except that it was sixty and sunny out. and the quad was covered with people laying around and playing frisbee and enjoying themselves. grrr. at least its supposed to be nice all day tomorrow. wait. i have class. class. class. and then straight to work. BUMMER.
i had some broccoli slaw in the fridge and i hadnt a clue what i wanted to do with it. but then i did have a clue! and then i had dinner.
i chopped up some orange pepper [my favorite!] and dug in the freezer for some corn and stirfried it all up with a few big handfuls of slaw and some shrimpalimp. the sauce/marinade/stirfrying liquid was a mishmosh: ricewinevinegar. teriyakisauce. honey. red pepper flakes. ginger powder. garlic powder. sesame oil. etc etc. super delicious. i had some kashi crackers on the side. im not sure why. it seemed like a good idea at the time. i have no regrets. also. the rest of my orange from breakfast. the little chinese restaurant back home always had orange slices along with the fortune cookies at the end and so i wanted to channel the goodness that is golden garden. [i did NOT eat that purple barrette. the orange hue was just too dominate and i was trying to make the bits of cabbage pop. awk since you cannot see a single piece of the cabbage action.]
i considered eating this with some chopsticks that i had lying around but i totally lack coordination [hello. why do you think im a runner?] and it would have taken longer than the three minutes in which i inhaled this delight. forker for life.
im already pondering dessert. mmm. decisions decisions.
whats your favorite nut?
does peanut butter count as a nut? ;]
i really like cashews. and almonds. and pistachios. and hazelnuts. [okay. so i like them all. but walnuts and pecans are on the lower end of the spectrum.]
and no preaching about how walnut and such arent really nuts because i say they are and thats whats up. kapeesh?
ALSO. check out honeynoneynuts giveaway. the survey takes like point two. help a college gal out will ya?

sort of lacking and such. and i have
to get some schtuff done tonight so
ill just leave you with a gallery of a
little bit of what ive been eating these
days. nothing too legit. you may
notice that i restocked my edys
loaded butterfinger ice cream. YUM!
on the exercise front ive been takin
it pretty easy. nice three mile run
yesterday. a little jaunt on the good
ole arctrainer today. just keepin my
legs moving. nothing too strenuous.
i randomized the order. for some zing!

butter. etc. im just not so good at
this whole food blogging bit. my bad.

oops.
oh hey. whats up yall?
i have an exam tomorrow. and well. uh. its going to be interesting.
speaking of delicious late night snacks on tuesday!
the last of my zoes cinnamon raisin granola. [so sad]. some newmans own organic cinnamon sugar soy crisps. and apple slices. super tasty.
and then i had the other half of the apple. eaten like this:
my peanut butter rationing plan was out the window before i could even open the jar. oops.
and since i gave up on rationing i munched on more traderjoes spicyflaxtortillachips. [and some chocolate.]
ive decided i just need to take a roadtrip to a destination with a trader joes. anyone jonesin for a visitor? ;]
zzzzzzzzzzz.
i woke up this morning and knew breakfast had to be quick so i had a cottage cheese bowl. it had been so long!
pre.
post.
classes today drug on to no end. buzzkill.
once i finally made it back to my apartment i decided to lace up for my last run before my half on saturday [FREAKOUT].
i obviously needed some serious fuel for my two miler so i had the last half of this baby.
it was so nice out and i wanted to keep running but i was a good little lamb and only ran the two and at a comfortable easy pace. go me.
i stretched out. showered. slothed. and then whipped up this great little diddie of a lunch.
i mixed up some tuna with the bbqsauce/hummus combo and some carrot nibs and pepper bits and shoved the whole smosh into a pepperbutt. with a bit of salad action [carrots. peps. kashi lovebites. more bbq/hummus. etc etc]. i had those grapes times a bunch. also shown: insideoutdirtyyellowsweater backdrop. mmmm. classy.
at this point i set out to do some serious studying..
aka:
and countless other nibbles.
is it to late to change my major to eating..with a concentration in peanut butter?
i sort of. quasi. maybe got a little bit accomplished but then i realized i was too famished to do anything else. no really. i hadnt eaten in like thirtysevenminutes.
for dinner i whipped up a scramble with corn. peppers. carrots. spinach. salsa. and hot sauce. oh. and eggies. postphoto i smushed half of the mixture into a pita. oh the side i had the last of my random plethora of fruit and some strawberries.
my fruit stash is quite low. a couple more stawberries. a few apples. and some bananas [ a few frozen. a few supah ripe..aka perfect]. tragedy.
i just finished up a superb late night snack!
SNACKBOWL! love. this little gem has some cheerios [ i want to be her.] newmans own organic cinnamon sugar soy crisps. some zoes cranberries currants granola. pistachios. more dried cranberries. and chocolate chunks.
lotsa flavor going on here. all so so good. as far the granola goes. well. its fabulous. but i think i like the cinnamon raisin a tid better. but id take either any day of the week.
the munchfest continues on. but the camera has retired for the night. use your imagination eh?
im off to study. and by study i mean go to bed. and by go to bed i mean stay up to an ungodly hour doing who knows what with lord knows who.
and my question tonight is for all yall runners out there. its gettin to be race time..
got any pre/during/postrace tips for a halfmarathon newb?
and for those nonrunners:
would you rather eat your right arm or your left leg?
the way today has been going id say id probably end up eating both. oy.
p.s. thanks to her little fiasco the fab little meloncauliflower is having a barney butter giveaway!
also..this girl that im totally NUTS about is having a giveaway. haha.

bonjour!
i dont speak french.
how are things my gruff billygoat friends?
so after i left you sunday i had the most DIVINE dessert.
but i didnt take a picture because it looked so nasty. haha.
anyways. i mashed up a frozen banana. some soymilk. the
other half of my erinbaker breakfast cookie. and LOTS of
peanutbutter. it was totally unreal. i ate lots of other stuff too.
zzzzzz.
yesterday morning i woke up and had to rush off to take care of some businessssss so i grabbed breakfast and off i went.
mmm. oatmeal raisin cookies for breakfast? yes please.
between a couple of classes i jolted off to the arc to get my four mile run in [tapering and such]. unfortunately i was pressed for time so i had to sprint the four miles [subthirtyminutes] and so i think i defeated the purpose of tapering?
yeah. im that sweaty girl in class. gross.
at least i had time to shower before work?
packed lunch for sure. i feel like this picture makes my salad look very small and my fruit look very big. either way it was all very good.
and well..i work at a cupcake bar. and we just started our new spring flavors yesterday. aka there was a lot of nibbling going on. the things i do for my customers right?
i may have also made myself a vanilla latte for my trek home. yum.
please note that i am wearing gloves. also note that i ran in shorts and a tank top on saturday.
dinner was a classic. but first..
i munched on a ton of grapes. i shouldnt buy grapes because i could easily eat the whole bag in like three opens of the refrigerator..if that makes any sense. [i wish i could invite you all into my head. things make so much more sense in there(here?).]
say it yesterdaywasyourbirthdaygirl! plus a mishmosh of veggies and black bean. and BBQ SAUCE.
i have a big ass exam on thursday so i tried to pretend to study for a bit but uh..
chocolate [thats not a whole bar..] kettle corn. zoes granola. LOTS of salt and cinnamon. munchcrunchlove.
interpret this as you will. [but lets just say im now down to four jars of peanut/nutbutter..or so i thought (foreshadowing much?).]
i probably ate more too. because its me.
zzzzzzzz.
i added soymilk to my oats for the first time ever this morning.
holy bagoly majoly. so good.
i tried to leave a wee gap in the toppings [which were fone. dried cranberries. and recalled nut of sorts.] so you could see how creamy the banana soymilk combo made them. no dice.
eventually i headed off to do some light crosstraining. just thirty on the arctrainer. i took it supah easy and just enjoyed my ‘what not to wear’. oh clinton kelly..you will be mine. oh yes. you will be mine. and by mine i just mean well shop together and talk smack about other people. swoon.
working out vigorously [!?] requires much refueling.
a salad of sorts. bbqsauce makes my world go round. so do: carrots. peppers. kashi lovebites. turkey. and colorful bowls of fruit..since my salad was sort of dichromatic. [not a word?]
AND THEN I CHECKED THE MAIL!
[at this point im speechless..ill let the pictures do the talking.]
chocolate times two. peanutbutter times at least six.
words cannot describe my friends. ah. and the jar count is back up to five! [well..four and a half at this point. oops. MUST RATION!]
heather. you are too good to me. !!!
the only thing that tore me away from that jar was class. bummer.
another win for team gnu. better than the banana id say but still no peanut butter.
my stomach has been on and off again wonky for the past couple of days so dinner is a little..awkward? i dont know man. it was just what sounded good. and i enjoyed it so that really all that matters.
these chips are from trader joes and are my loooove. in the past couple of nights ive eaten over half the bag. [MUST RATION.] i definitely went back for more chips and cottage. nom.
now i for real am going to study. seriously guys. really.
i gotta know..crunchy or creamy?

thats what i have to keep telling myself.
dude. college is hard.
and minimum wage sucks.
and im getting sick.
but you know what isnthard/doesntsuck/isntsick? well..who.
i was totally having the crummiest of days today and that
little gem of blogger totally made my day. thanks heather.
anyways. things are gettin all wackedup on this end
so my posting/commenting/etc may be even more
sporatic than it normally is so bear with meeee please.
grrr. grrr. im a bear. oh man. i need sleep. baaaaadly.
hey. this is a food blog. not national geographic.
no more bears. unless i start eating bear meat.
which i promise wont happen. ever. though oddly
enough ive had the opportunity. totally awk right?
yesterday morning i had a lovely six mile or so run.
i got all nice and sweaty. and red and puffy. sexy no?
then i came home and ate. i mean showered. [nah man. i ate.]
just a snackish plate of sorts. i ate double the amount of cottage cheese and crackers for sure though. i think i eat half my meals before they even make it to the plate. whoops. [and yeah. that monster is totally tryin to eat my cottage cheese. i showed him what was up though. no worries.]
lunch dessert! strawberries. chocolate. peanut butter. could it get any better?! [well..chocolate covered pretzels would have been nice but..]
i packed up this little gem and headed out to my classes.
this was a GNU flavor for me and good grief was it swell. i think i preferred the peanut butter [shocking i know] but this one was super divine. i think maybe a peanutbutterbananawalnut fusion is in order. and hey. i still gotta try the chocolate one. hmmmm. i like where this is headed.
so i had made a point to check the ten DAY forecast in the morning..but failed to check the ten HOUR forecast. aka i had a nice walk home in the rain. in leather flipflops. sans umbrella. oy.
dinner was so good though that i totally didnt care.
i baked up a sweetpotato and mashed it all up with some black beans and bbqsauce and wrapped it all up with some spinach in a flatout wrap. sooo good. i broiled the whole thing to help keep the wrap together. when i was done i seriously contemplated making another. i also tried kale chips for the first time. they were so awkward and made me uncomfortable while i was eating them. but i definitely loved them. [!?] and yay for delicious fruit.
then i started to get a little stressed out. and when this galfriday
gets stressed out she EATS. so i did.
this was so good. my first time trying the erin baker breakfast cookies. definitely not my last. the ingredients are totally legit but the cookie taste did not reflect that. seriously. go try these. [that notebook is just for you munchhead.]
at this point i started going at the jar of peanut butter to comfort my sorry self. and then i thought this might work out better than just straight up spoonfuls:
comforting and delicious.
but i still ended up with more skippylove.
and some more kashis with cottage cheese.
and a piece or two of chocolate.
im stressed out okay. dont judge.
anyways. zzzzzzzz. but not really.
i did not sleep well last night. bummer.
at least breakfast was good this morning.
corn bran. frozen banana chunks and berries. soymilk. and of course my clumpy chocolate protein powder was added post picture.
i was running late this morning. per usual. so i just grabbed half a clif bar i had lying around to eat between classes. oatmeal raisin walnut. aka best flavor ever.
my head is all congested and nast right now [definitely self-induced. thanks again stress.] so im takin the day off on the exercise front. sometimes its just what you need. ya know?
im gonna go whip up some lunch and then shower and get ready for work. grumble grumble. think of me while youre all off enjoying your friday night. i think im the only person that more often than not does not look forward to friday. come on sunday.
whats your favorite day of the week?!
im a total sunday girl. as a general rule i am not allowed to do anything i do not want to on sundays. and dude. football. :]
breeeeeeeeeathe. breeeeeeeeeeeathe. breeeeeeeeeeathe.

hi little kitties-
this hot mama is supa tired so lets make it happen.
yesterday was a splendid day of sorts.
well..for the first half my body was noooot pleased with me. but whatever. shut up body. i spent the day with cath and such. panera. target. haircut. yadayada. im not a fan of the haircut. i dont like haircuts. i have serious separation issues. especially with my rattyasshair.
wait. yesterday was stupid. i hate snow. grrrr illinois.
now onto today!! sundayyyyy.
i slothed out of bed and meandered downstairs to whip up a gourmet meal of sorts.
at first i thought i wanted cottage cheese. but i wasnt sure. so i ate a few spoonfuls outta the tub and decided no. i dont want this. and then i ate some more. [!?] so i schmeared a sandwichthin with peanut butter banana and berries. this was for sure what i wanted. coffee may have been brewing whilest this photo was taken. its an addiction kids. :]
can someone explain where half the peanut butter went in two days?
it was snowy/slushy outside but i reeeeeeally wanted to get a long run in. and i didnt want to have to resort to the rickety old treadmills at the hospital so i bundled myself up and was on my merry way.
midrunsustenance: obviously i ate more than just the one fig NEWMAN.
fig newmans are supa good. however if youre going to eat them midrun eat them BEFORE you hit the water point. i was in front of my house at around mile sixandahalf and i guzzled some water. and then at about mile seven i nibbled on these puppies and they definitely gave me the energy to finish up my run but my mouth was hootin and hollerin for some more water.
oh. by the way. i ran twelve miles. i think i ended up running it in an hourforty. give or take. i need a watch. no biggie. [oh man. kidding. biggie!]
it was a pretty ballin run. minus having to prance through/over/around snowslushpuddles. gag. i want to live in la jolla. NOW.
after my run i whipped up a couple of batches of roasted red pepper hummus for the mum and myself. yum. i may have a had a spoonful or three while making it. just to make sure it tasted right of course.
for lunch i mixed up a packet of tuna with bbq sauce and hummus and chopped up peppers carrots and zucchini. i plopped it all on the last of the spinach and for some CRUNCH i added lots of fone. mmm. a juicy little nectarine decided to join the party as well. gobble.
at this point i realized that im in college and so i loaded up my little janky jetta and started off on my three hours journey.
running twelve miles and then driving for three hours straight do not happy legs make. STIFF. [hahaha. i wont take it there.]
along the way i munched on this gal.
ive always been more into the clifs over the lunas but this littlelass was on sale a couple of weeks ago so i picked her up. she was pretty damn good actually. maybe i should give lunas another go?
p.s. disregard the fact that i took that picture while a. driving and b. speeding. oops. [sorry cath.]
after i got back i hit up meijer because a girls gotta eat.
im really bad at actually buying things i need so we will see if i have sufficient food to make at least three meals tomorrow. [my moneys on: not gonna happen.]
by the time i got back to my apartment and unloaded all the my schnaz i was ravenous. ive had a kashi frozen dinner in my freezer since the first week of school and i thought it was probably past its prime and it was an easy fix so into the darling red microwave it went. it took a whole fourandahalfminutes to heat up so i munched on anything i could get my hands on until it was ready.
in a pitiful attempt to pretend im still at home and have access to legit produce i added like a cup of frozen broccoli.
okay. this girl is callin it quits. sorry for a razzlefrazzle post of sorts.
i feel like i had something quasi important to say..type? but now i do not recall. moh well.
ugh. im more joyous news i just got my work schedule for this week.
friday: 4-close.
saturday: 5-close.
woo. party party up in the cupcakefactory all weekend. [i hate my life.]
do you like to drive?
i loathe driving. i make a MUCH better passenger. :]
meowmeow.

well hello.
is anyone else starting to think that the sun has forgotten how to shine? lord knows ive forgotten what sunshine looks like. buzzkill.
anywhooo. last night i had some munches. self-explanatory at this point.
times this picture by three. and then add in a few handfuls between pours.
and a moment of silence please. we lost another jar of peanut butter.
five days. not bad. not bad at all.
of course all i wanted when i woke up this morning was peanutbutter. no such luck. i found a pretty legit alternative breakfast though.
pre fone and mixage.
this is good stuff my friends. good stuff.
i spent most of the morning putzing around. i like to putz.
putz putz putz.
[maybe i moreso just like word?]
i nibbled a bit as i waited for some sunshine. no such luck.
i went out for a fivemiler. it took about fortyminutes give or take. when i started my legs felt tighter than a .. i think such inappropriate thoughts. you guys have no idea how much i censored myself for yall. thankfully after a half a mile or so they loosened up a bunch. woo.
i had to shovel down lunch so i could head out and check my car checked out by my mothers fellafriend.
spinach. mixed greens. carrots. peppers. corn. sweet potato chunks. pretzels for some crunch action. salsa/blackbeandip ‘dressing’.
i feel like i should apologize for such repetition in my eating. but im not going to because this was the bomb diggity. youre gonna have to deal.
apparently my trunk is all cock-eyed so when it rains my spare tire well gathers water. glorious. always the optimist matt told me i should just enjoy the fact that i have a hot tub in the back of my car. hardy harr harr. not amused.
cath tried her hand at homemade pizza dough tonight. oy ve.
this recipe calls for heating the pizza stone and then just putting the pizza on it for five minutes to crisp up. the transfer to the hot stone was quite a sight to be seen. i wanted a super crisp thin crust. hahahaha. not even close. oh well. it was still a delicious disaster.
i roasted peppers. onions. mushrooms. etc. then added those and some sundried tomatoes to the sauce laden dough. goodness that picture is haggard.
i cut some it into more manageable chunks and plated them with grapes and kiwi. divine.
and then five minutes later i went back and hoovered the rest of it down.
and then five minutes later my stomach began to register the fluffypuffy crust. oops.
i just finished up some yoga in hopes of stretching my leadlegs out.
oh and dont worry. cath and i went and got some more peanut butter this afternoon. ;]
so whats the word..thin and crispy or chewy doughy crust?
im a total thin and crispy girl. with loads of veggie toppings. nom.
oh. and if you havent already heard about tinas pure bar giveaway then youre doing this whole blog thing totally wrong..but just in case: CLICK!
heres another fun giveaway: ;]

nothing new here. chicken. bbq sauce. peppers. spinach. etc. and a pear.
sorry for intense repetition. just tryin to make due with what
foods i have in my apartment since ill be headed home soon.
and then because i was bored and it was there i snacked on this:
cinnamon banana walnut muffin. these babies are biggens.
and i had some rooibush cream caramel tea for my trek home.
and then once i got home i went to bed.
just kidding. i snackattacked my way into the wee hours of the morning.
you know. popcorn. figgies. chocolate chunks. kashi h2h. cinnamon. etc.
a big ole apple. hey. howd those reeses get in there. oops.
and then the faux peanut butter experience made me want. wait..NEED the real deal. so i had a spoonful. or three. :]
then i really went to bed.
after a jammin yoga sesh i was cravin some deliciousness so i went with the best clif bar flavor. ever. and a big juicy orange. none of that bitty cutie nonsense.
i went to the arc. using my license. i can only do that twice a semester so i had better find that silly ole icard or get a new one. stat.
five miles and some weights later i was a hot sweaty mess.
speaking of hot..i dont know if its the hormones or the endorphins or the adrenaline or what but there was a fiiiiiine lookin fella gettin his lift on and i wanted jump on it for sure.
ANYWAYS.
lunch was pretty much a lot like yesterday. especially in that it was DELICIOUS.
the rest of my butternut squash with some peppers and chickpeas. all on a bed of spinach. today everything was popped in the microwave for a quick steamin to switch it up from yesterdays madness. and an apple. also. please note my dear lunch guests.
aka I GOT A PACKAGE OF NEWMANS OWN ORGANIC GOODNESS!
sooo much food. there is no way i can review it all by myself. so i thought maybe some of yall would be interested in assisting me..do i smell a giveaway coming up!?
my excited was soon smashed down by the man or the dean maybe? i dont know. either which way i had to go to class. bummer.
class snacks. mostly for my sanity.
good grief i eat a lot of sweet potatoes. [i think mostly to evoke my favorite comment out of veegee. ;] ]
huzzah. i am no longer at work. i am chillin on my couch at HOME!
onward.
oh man. this was A MAZE ING. went back for another pack of chocolate covered pretzels and a few more spoons of peanut butter.
bedtime for bonzo.
last of a mishmash of cereals. frozen naner. blues. and soy milk mixed with a bit of chocolate protein powder to help with keepin my tum satisfied throughout the morn.
class. exam. and the off to the cupcake factory!
here we have the last of my spinach. the last of my peppers. the last of the black beans and salsa. and the last of the kashi crackers. im a pro at cleanin out the kitchen. haha.
i made myself an iced vanilla latte for the trip home and off i went.
i got home HANGRY and so the mum her dudefriend and i went out for thai food at exotic thai. sooo good. i took pictures but they arent on the computer yet so youre just gonna have to wait. i know i know. its killin you.
now im gonna fill up on as much tacky crime scene drama as i can for the next week. ice cream and yoga seem quite plausible for my future. :]
night all.
p.s. sorry if this post doesnt flow well. work interruptions and a three hour drive/dinner/etc caused some breaks in postage.
p.s.s. how about another question?
