The Fastest Week Ever

…at least by an hour!

Just the thought of heading back to school tomorrow is already making my head spin. Why oh why does that place make me go c-c-crazy? Not to mention it’s coming an hour sooner since Daylight Savings Time is tomorrow. As if my sleep cycle isn’t skewed enough…now I’ll be waking up at 11 AM?

I’ve gotta catch you up on yesterday and then it’s work work work….and a movie (Law Abiding Citizens–has anyone seen it!? Good? Bad? So-so?). I was just going to skip over yesterday but then I found all these photos on my camera that just couldn’t go unviewed….

Pre-Duke Basketball Game Brunch:

I made some overnight oats by soaking 1/3 cup of oats in almond milk (in the fridgerrr) for ~10 hours. The next morning, I added 1/2 cup of precious pumpkin. This was the very last can I’ve been able to get my hands. I think I’m going to freeze the rest of this pumpkin so I can make my favorite granola later.

I added 1/2 a nuked apple and 1/2 a crumbled granola bar:

I used a teensy too much almond milk so it was more like overnight oats SOUP!

Coffee coff:

Dangeroussssss!! Before the gym I ate 1 1/2 of these. I’m getting closer to making them stick!

I ellitipcalled while watching my Blue Devils beat UVA in the quarterfinals of the ACC Championship. I did 10 min. of ab work during half time. Okay, more like 3 min. of ab work and 7 min. of wiping my sweat but who’s counting, right?

Post workout snax:

Apple w/ almond cheese and Milton’s Multigrain Crackers:

The ‘rents got these crackers from Costco.

The box looked like this (my parents threw it out):

The combo worked so beautifully together. It reminded me of Lunchables but with apples instead of ham. I LOVED Lunchables as a child and I would always get super giddy when I occasionally got to bring ‘em to school. I think it was the candy bar that won me over. Anyone else!?!

‘nother snack:

Yogurt w/ Kashi Puffs, Cranberries + Pecans (we haven’t seen this combo here in awhile, huh??)

A chocolate egg, or two….

And another granola bar. I’m going to turn into a granola bar while trying to get this recipe right!

Birthday blogger meet up at Sunflower Vegetarian Restaurant:

From left to right: Yours truly, Maya, Ileana, and Stephanie. My bestie came along too and took this photo for us. She wasn’t sure if she would be able to see me again before I went back to school so she accompanied me to Sunflower…yet again. Awwwww!

I ordered the Macrobiotic Tofu: Organic soft tofu, lily flower, wakame, carrots, burdock, Chinese wolfberry, goji berries and broccoli in light ginger sauce. Served with brown rice.

The above photo was with Maya’s SLR. This one is with my point ‘n’ shoot + blinding flash:

I couldn’t decide on what to order and finally just picked something at the verrrry last second!! Too many choices. It was good, but I probably wouldn’t get it again.

More Bday Prezzies:

Maya brought me a jar of Almond Naturally More!

And Ileana brought me some brownie cupcakes:

I sent each of them off with some granola bars to taste test!

Of course, I had a brownie cupcake with Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride Tea aaaaaand 1/2 a granola bar aaaand a few chocolate eggs to end the night.

See what I mean? It was completely necessary for me to put off work just to show you these photos. Completely.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go stress out about school .
