Personal Catch-Up

Do you ever feel like your life is as much work as your work/ school life? My afternoon class was canceled today giving me an extra two hours. Instead of relaxing I celebrated the fact that I could finally catch up with things in MY life instead of school. I did things like

E-mail my grandparents and some friends

wash my hair/shave my legs

Read your blogs (finally!)

Update my iTunes

Paint my nails

and even some homework that's not due for a while so I wasn't stressing

About 30 minutes after breakfast I had this (granola crisps and PB)

Then 45 minutes later I was starving but I couldn't eat my lunch because I had some stuff to do so right before I left I made an almond butter and jelly wrap to go.

I was into seeing people celebrating before noon =). There was also a guy with a beer at 8:30 this morning... in the gym... lifting weights, I laughed out loud.

For lunch I broke the eat your colors rule to honor the holiday! I had a huge salad with spinach, asparagus, cucumber, broccoli, lima beans, sweet peas, snap peas and avocado. Dressed in dijon, white wine vin and garlic salt. It was a very good salad!

One thing I had to do this morning required me to go to the dining hall where I found fresh made, vegan, gluten free chocolate chip cookies! I totally had to grab one to go with lunch. It was delicious! A great soft texture, sweetened (at least partly) with honey and I even detected some banana. Points for my school!

Snack plate

I had more crackers and raisins than this, the crackers were dipped in cream cheese right out of the container

With dips on the side

I've also had

a big handful of cereal, more strawberries

A few handfuls of butter toffee almonds (does anyone know if I can make these? They are too good to not have around 100% of the time)

some cashews

while I had the peanut butter out some sweet potato chips made their way into it as did the rest of my pretzels (can we talk about how I killed a 3/4 pound bag of pretzels from Sunday until today... no shame)

One of my cookies from last night

Told you I've been eating a lot!

Dinner was vegan "cheesy" Mediterranean lentils (recipe posted tomorrow!) with sweet potatoes roasted with evoo, apple cider vinegar cinnamon and paprika and cucumbers with more hummus.

Peace!
