lookin for some Zzzs

Can we talk about how great this mug is for a second? Growing up, I was pretty much obsessed with anything Sanrio. My best friend gave this to me on my 16th birthday, right before the Sanrio Store at Mall of America closed. I cried.

Today was one of those mornings when you’re really alert, but for no good reason. I had like 6 hours of sleep at most, but barely even sipped on my coffee. I usually try to take a nap after my 1st class on T and TH, and I COULDN’T. I’ve never been a good napper, but it was super frustrating! I even whipped out my handy dandy..

ear plugs! Seriously.. after such little sleep.. and even a good hard workout and one long lecture.. I *wanted* to sleep!! But my body obviously didn’t. Anyways, I got home early today because my last class was a quiz (leave when you’re done!!) and I’m currently munchin on:

This picture basically gives the impression that I eat moldy mushrooms and baby food.. but I promise my life is not so sad! The mushrooms are FRESH – just bought yesterday. The brown mush is lentil dip.. and it’s soooo good! I use it in all the same ways as hummus (a veggie dip.. sandwich spread.. I guess that’s all you use hummus for?). Sooo good doesn’t even cut it, but I can’t find anything else to compare it to, so just have faith =]

To make up for an ugly picture, I will indulge you with a more appetizing looking one:

Black bean enchiladas with mole sauce and tons of red pepper flakes. I could eat just this for.. ever. YUMMMM! This is from a couple nights ago.. just never posted it. So night time wrap up – yesterday we saw Run Fatboy Run. My opinion: Good, but not FANTASTIC. It’s not an inspirational movie like Spirit of a Marathon. But it was pretty damn funny. Running club tonight.. and my teacher for Nutrition and Body Maintenance is our guest speaker tonight! She’s a registered dietitian, but she’s doing the adjunct professor thing.

I should go get some real food so I have time to digest before the run! Adios muchachos.. hope your weather is nicer than it is here!

*BTW* I’m still MAJORLY in need of a lunch bag type thing.. so if someone has a good one – PLEASE enlighten me!

what the YUCK!

With my cup of vanilla coffee and a bowl of cereal, thankful that I was warm and dry inside.. this is what I got to watch out of the upstairs window:


52 degrees yesterday, this today. Not quite snow.. not warm enough to just make slush. Welcome to Minnesota!

No class on Mondays for me, but they somehow always manage to be full of appointments or errands. Already out and back to an appt this afternoon, and one left this evening until I can come home. I have Dan in Real Life that I have to watch tonight or it’s going to be overdue! I like Steve Carell, but I have a feeling this movie might leave me disappointed.

Went to the gym in the morning.. but looks like I’ll be back there for my run tonight because I’m just not feeling the whole snow/wind/mush. Can I say yuck again?

Made the most fan-freaking-tastic eggplant last night. Half of it I turned into this curry dish.. and the other half was just with lots of salt and Trader Joe’s “spice blend for pasta”. Hhaha I almost took a picture.. but my stomach told me I didn’t have time for that! If anyone is reading this.. do you want food pics too? The only blogs I have really read are by “foodies”, and while I like food I’m most definitely not at the “foodie” status (I don’t mean that offensively of course!).

So yea – food pics – maybe, maybe not. I can guarantee you’ll see some amazing pictures of MY lake when this nasty weather clears out!
