Livin' the Life...

Of an Elementary School Art Teacher, that is. In bed by 10, up by 530, packed lunches, rowdy kids, hands blue from markers...and funny thing is...I'm kinda liking it. Alot.

Not to say it hasn't been rough, but a good kind of rough...ya know? The kind of days where you come home feeling like you have been hit by a train, but somehow in a good way. A way that you know you put your time in today and you DID something worth doing. Because easy things aren't even worth it, its the hard things that make you stronger and make you who you are.

I have to admit, I was getting discouraged with the job search and losing touch with the part of me that really wanted to be a teacher in the first place. I was starting to question if it was even something that I wanted to do with my life. But now I see that I was only questioning it because it was hard, not because it wasn't what I wanted. Now I want it more than ever. I LOVE being a teacher, I LOVE the kids, I LOVE the school. It fits. Its me. I can't wait to have my own classroom.

So I know that I have missed a couple of days of blogging, but that is because I have been dead tired for the past three days. With being sick and still working every morning, I pretty much come home and crash! BUT I did take pictures of what its like to eat breakfast and lunch as a "teach".

Breakfast #1:

Banana Pancake Oats...eaten atop my flannel pj's while sitting on my bed reading blogs on the laptop.

Close-Up/Break-Down:

• 1/2 Cup Oats
• 1/2 Cup of Skim Milk
• LOADS of Cinnamon
• 1/2 Banana
• Tbsp. Maple Syrup
• Kashi Flax Cereal

Lunch Day #1

Turkey Sandwich on Wheat eaten atop my desk, with my caffeine fix (gotta have it), a note that says "your the best", and a grade book to the right.

Breakfast Day #2:

Apple Cinnamon Oats eaten atop my leopard print throw. Includes:

• Chopped Apple
• 1/2 Cup Oats
• 1/2 Cup Skim Milk
• LOADS of Cinnamon
• Kashi Flax Cereal

Lunch Day #2:

Hummus and Spinach Sandwich, Pretzels, and an Apple (oh the irony)...eaten atop my desk with all kinds of good teacher-y stuff up there!!

So there you have two breakfasts and lunches in the life of a teacher. Pretty exciting right?...ummm...

Also, like I said before, me being sick gave me an excuse to relax and rest a little. And also to catch up on my cinema. I watched Twilight...which was good, but nothing GREAT. Sorry guys, I know a lot of you are big fans. Then I watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Let me just tell you, if you have not seen this movie...GO NOW! It was AMAZING. I seriously loved every minute of it. I laughed, I cried...it was great. There was one quote that I loved in the movie and when I was at school I looked up the exact wording because I could not get it out of my head.

I jotted it down, and when I was bored during my "planning" period I made it all pretty.

"You can be mad as hell at the way things went. You could swear, curse the fates...but when it comes to an end, you have to let it go."

This just hit so close to home for me, because I have a really hard time letting things go. Especially things that did not turn out the way that I had wanted them to. Sure I could be angry at how things turned out. But when its over its over, and keeping those angry feelings inside only make it worse and won't turn back time. When things end you just have to let them end and learn for next time. I think the practically reminds me of relationships that I have had in the past.

Now, I am off the enjoy the weekend!!!....uhhh...tomorrow, right now I'm ready for SLEEP!

Hope everyone has a fun and exciting weekend.

Lots of Love, <3 Ems

First Day of Spring!

Heres a little Spring Trivia to start off the season:

What are the two most popular spring activities?

Go ahead take a guess!

So I woke up bright and early this morning in preparation for the "Hooray Spring Six Miler" that the Miss RunningLaur was putting on. I wanted to run outside on my favorite trail since it was so nice outside. I went a little camera happy documenting this monuments day (WINTER IS GONE!).

Driving to the trial. Do you see any clouds? Good. I dont either, thats because its SPRING!

Wait, I think I may see one...oh nope, its spring.

Stopped at a red light, I get behind THIS guy who drives surprisingly slow considering he is "z boss"

Here is my reaction to this:

Finally i get to my trial. Just look how perfect of a day it was!

As you can see on the right there is a small skate park that I run by. Well, today I was running by and there were two little kids on bikes. They were MAYBE 14, so I didnt really think anything of it as I ran by. I noticed that they were watching me as I ran by though so I paused my IPOD, but kept it in my ears so they didnt think I could here. One of the boys said to the other "wait a second, she has a nice butt and I'm trying to enjoy it". hahahaha. I turned around and waved as I kept running by.

More of the gorgeous spring day.

Done with my run, getting a refresher with my lovely water bottle courtesy of Emily.

I used the stopwatch on my ipod and clocked the 6 miles in 1:05:43. I walked some it because there are some ROUGH hills on the trial.

When I got home I fixed up a nice lunch complete with peanut butter, bananas, blueberries, and apples. WOAH! fruit overload. For some reason I always eat all my fruits for lunch and all my veggies for dinner. I dont know why I have that stereotype.

All grilled up and gooey and melty. YUM!

Ok now its time to watch some college basketball. GO BUCS!

Hope everyone is having a great start to spring and the weekend! Lots of Love, <3 Ems.

Checkin' Off the To-Dos

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! I hope everyone is having a good one, and celebrating with lots of green and maybe beer?! Or not...whatever floats ya boat ;) Today has been pretty busy and successful! I started out just NOT motivated to do anything, but I turned off that negative voice and started about my day.

FIRST something new, I went to the college that I graduated from in December and met with the head of the Nutrition Program there to possibly re-enroll and get a second degree in dietetics. Not 100% sure yet, but it is an option that has come up and I was just looking into more info about it. It is definitely something that interests me, and I think that I would have more success in the career path if I had more of a range (and having two degrees is a good range). The lady was super nice and super encouraging. The next step is to talk to admissions and finical aid and see what my options there are. Its something to consider at the very least.

SECOND, I got day two of training for a faster 10K out of the way. My training schedule had me at running an easy 3 miles today, so I ran it in about 35 minutes, and then cooled down for 5 minutes. After that I did 20 minutes on the eliptical. I kept the eliptical very low paced though, because I dont want to wear out my legs. Tomorrow I am just scheduled to run for 30 mintues. Its supposed to be a nice day, so I'll probably be doing that one on the running trial that I like.

THIRD, I came home and made lunch. For the first time since fall started I was not in the mood for a warm sammie, I wanted a cold one. So that is what I had. With the last apple on the side. MAN it is time for a grocery trip. guess I didnt get everything done!

Close-Up/Break-Down:

• Wheat Bread
• Turkey
• Spinach
• Greek Style Hummus
• Cucumber
• Sprouts
• Salsa
• Spicy Mustard

After I gobbled up my lunch I went BACK to the gym for a yoga class that I noticed they were having at my gym tonight. It said it was a beginners class, so I thought it would be nice to just go and get all stretched out from my running. It was a pretty good class...but it was TOTALLY for beginners, people were not taking it too seriously and they were laughing and falling all over the place, so it was sort of distracting. I liked the teacher though, so Im going to see if she has a more advanced class that she teaches. At the end of the practice she said something SO good. It was a story and it went something like this:

"One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.
He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down. A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.
As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of theanimal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!"

MORAL: Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a steppingstone. We can either let those troubles bury us alive or use them to get ahead, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.

I really took this to heart. I think that a lot of times I let things get to me and I get angry or upset when troubles come my way. But instead, I need to see those troubles as stepping stones and shake it off and use the experience to get ahead!

I just got home from yoga and now I am gonna shower and get ready to go an irish pub downtown with Britt to celebrate the holiday. Nothing too crazy tonight though, she has class tomorrow at 9 and I'm taking an Asheville trip tomorrow morning with the fam. Pics to follow!!

Everyone be safe and have fun tonight if you are celebrating!

Lots of Love, <3 Ems.

DO DO You Got a First Aid Kit Handy?!

But really?! Anyone?! Or at least know how to give a good massage, because I think my legs MAY just fall off at any second. Whew! Those two days of running 6 straight miles are killing me! I decided to take it easy today because I do not want my legs to be hurting this bad on Saturday, so I just did an easy 3 miles today and some on the eliptical. Tomorrow is my rest day, so I dont plan on running at all so that my legs can have a rest.

SO excited to get THIS today:

#217 baby! Im starting to think that I'm in over my head though. Last night I was talking to a friend whose wife is running the race just as training for a TRIATHLON! And then when I went to pick up my number today I started talking to another girl who looked about my age who was running it to. She asked if this was my first 10K and I said yes. I, in turn, asked if it was hers as well and she said "yes, its my first 10k". Automatically I assumed that she had probably ran a 5K before and that this was her first 10K, but no no no...she just ran a marathon. hmmmm oh well, as long I complete it I will be happy, Im not going to worry about pushing myself too hard for a great time. Ive got nothing to prove to anyone but myself, and I just want to have fun doing this!

So after the gym I came home and ate lunch. I have been soooo hungry since running everyday. Its weird because I'm not technically burning as many calories, but I feel like I get so much more of a workout (and I def. sweat ALOT more!). haha. I wasnt really sure what I was hungry for though...so I just stuck to the usual wrap.

• Italian Herb Flat Out Wrap
• Red Pepper Hummus (mixin it up from the garlic)
• Deli Sliced Turkey
• Salsa
• Cucumber (you guys dont even wanna know how I initially had this spelled...lets just say it was slightly dirty!)
• Spinach
• Spicy Mustard
• With a Granny:

I decided that I needed to balance all this fruit out with some veggies. So I added some broccoli and celery with a side of salsa for dipping.

I always use the most random things to put food in. My apples are in a coffee cup and my salsa is in the lid to a jar :) Hey, if the food fits...

After lunch I went to pick up my race goodies and then to the FREE tanning bed. Oh, how I am lovin the free cancer in a box. I know, its horrible. I need to stop...I just need the real sun to come quick! After tanning I headed to work at the mall for a few. I had the most touching moment with my manager. She knew me when I was right in the midst of my ED and she watched me go through recovery. She was a HUGE support and still tells me almost everyday how good I look now and how proud she is of me. Anyways, she was asking me some questions about what I went though (which I have no problem talking about with her) when all of sudden she just stopped and said "I just have to give you a hug and let you know how proud I am of you, I was really scared for you when I first met you, and you have come such a long way since then". I almost started tearing up! I know its a long hard road, and I would be kidding myself and everyone else if I said that I was 100% now, but I know that I will get there and I see changes everyday that get me closer and closer to my goal.

Ok so after work I came home and made up a veggie burger. At the last minute I decided that it might be good with some cheese on it, so I threw it on top of the burger while it was on the grill. Boy, did I regret that decision. The cheese got wayyyy to melty and the burger was almost too messy to even eat! Well, ALMOST...I did manage, of course ;)

• Morningstar Veggie Burger Patty
• Arnolds Sandwich Thin
• Spinach
• Sprout
• Mustard
• Ketchup
• American Cheese Slice

With a beautiful salad on the side:

Now it time to get ready for bed. I have to SUB in Kindergarten at 730 AM tomorrow. Keep me in your prayers...its 5 year olds + Friday the 13th + the friday before their spring break = umm you do the math!

I hope everyone has a great Friday...any fun plans?!

Lots of Love <3 Ems.

Won't You Be My Neighbor?

First and Foremost, I must give my humble apologies for not blogging yesterday, I meant to after I got home from work, but it got insanely busy at work and I had to stay late and then the bestie came over right after work so we could have our usual Wednesday night pool and karaoke. haha. I only participate in one of these activities, I'll leave it a mystery as to which one ;)

Here are a few pictures of how my night went last night:

Brittani found her a man straight away...he might be the one!

I was a little jealous.

Brittani KILLED the competition.

I may or may not have been checking blogs on my Blackberry. haha.

My friend Grant is worse than a girl, he took about 9837492 pictures in which everyone he looked at and promptly deleted. I managed to keep this one though!

Ok, ok enough of that...I know what you are really here for!

• Flat Out Wrap
• Spinach
• Turkey
• Salsa
• Greek Style Hummus
• Spicy Mustard
• Golden De-lish Apple
• PICKLES!

Speaking of pickles dont you find it odd when someone like pickles but hates cucumbers or vice versa?! Does anyone feel that way?!

I tried a new type of hummus in my wrap that I found at the store. It was just called "greek style" so im not sure what the flavor really is, it tasted kinda garlic-y. But I LOVED it, I think I may have even liked it better then my usual Red Pepper Hummus.

I did manage to squeeze in a gym trip that included:

• 35 minutes on the eliptical
• 15 minutes on...geez, that other thing. haha.
• Approx. 400 calories burned.

This morning for breakfast I had the usual oats:

There is a seafood restaurant in Charleston that serves a dish called "the bucket of scrapes" and its just a big pail type thing with samples of all kinds of different seafood. This is what I think of when I make oatmeal, because I just throw in anything that I think would be good in oatmeal. So here is my "bowl of scrapes"

• 1/2 cup oats
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup skim milk
• 1/2 Naner
• Handfull of Blueberries
• Dried Apricots (NEW ADDITION!)
• Cinnamon
• 1 tbsp. Maple Syrup

Pretty random mix, but yummy all the same :)

OTHER EXCITING NEWS ALERT: I think I may have found some Arnold's Sandwich Thins. I have done the search online for close stores that sell them, but it always says there are none. Well, yesterday I gave it one last shot and it found TWO STORES in my area that sell them. Now, I havent gotten them yet, so I'm not gonna get my hopes up too high, but I am gonna go on the hunt today and I will let you know the results!

It such a gorgeous day outside and I fully intend to enjoy it girls!Plans for today:

• Laundry
• Gym
• Tanning
• Spontaneous trip to Asheville??
• Grocery Trip

Also, Check out the wonderful Erica at Itzy's Kitchen for a great giveaway!

Hope everyone has a bright and sunny day as well! Lots of Love <3 Ems.

Less Sleep = More Energy?

It was so weird because even though I got a total of about 4 hours of sleep the night before last I had so much energy and got SO much done! Yesterday before 1230 I had:

• Gotten Fingerprinted for Subbing
• Went to the Gym and did a freakin' STRIAGHT HOUR on the eliptical - I have NEVER been able to do this, the most I have even done straight through was 45 minutes. But yesterday I set the timer for 35 minutes, but after it was up I felt like I still had so much energy, so I just kept going and ended up doing a full hour!
• Went to the mall where I work to pick up my manager.

Have I mentioned before how much I adore every single one of my co-workers?! Just look at how cute my two managers are:

Kelli, the one on the right ,was actually a finalist to be on America's Next Top Model, but she did not make it onto the show because she was too short BY ONE INCH! geeeez Tyra!

Moving onto the subject of lunchie: I had bought some tofu, determined to make a Sharon inspired sammie. But the idea has scared the hell out of me, because I have no idea how to cook tofu! But I decided to bite the bullet and give it a try. Im adventurous! And it actually turned out pretty darn good. Have a look for yourselves:

Close-Up/Break-Down:

The ingredients include:

• Tofu
• Red Pepper Hummus
• Spianch
• Tomato
• Spicy Mustard

It was soooo good! And I was pretty proud of myself for stepping outside the box and trying something new. I have def. had tofu several times, but never cooked it myself. I also had an apple, some grapes, and some carrots on the side:

After lunch I got a little cleaning done (see I'm tellin' ya guys, SO much energy from NO WHERE!) Then I hung out with the room mate a bit and watched some SpongeBob SquarePants. I dont care how old you are, this show is hilarious! Oh man, I just realized what a huge kid I am...yet again!

I finally decided to get up and take a shower and get ready for my Sat. night out-on-the-town around 8 'oclock! But not before throwing together an awesome mix for din-din.

This was a great mix of ingredients, it was another one of those things that I just threw whatever I could find in, and it turned out tasting great! The mix included:

• Left Over Moroccan Curry Pilaf
• Diced Green Pepper and Tomato
• Sauteed Spinach and Mushroom (Underneath the Rice)
• Steamed Broccoli
• Red Pepper Hummus (Mixed In)

Last night ended up being a lot of fun with a huge mix of friends. I meet up with my friend Jamie and her boyfriend for coffee and I Spy books for a little while, and then met up with some other friends for a few drinks at my all time FAVE place, Stir Fry Cafe. I just love mixin' and minglin' with different friends, and I definitely have an eclectic mix of friends!

As for my Sunday you ask?...Well, as of this morning there has been a national state of coffee-crisis declared, so some grocery shopping is a necessity. Also, I think I may head to the gym and do a little cleaning. We shall see my friends, we shall see.

Oh yes, and Strawberry Shortstuff is having an awesome giveaway, so go check that out.

Edited to Add: My gal Emily is also having a contest for an awesome reusable water bottle, so check that one out as well. If not for the contest, then just because she has a kick-ass blog and a pretty cool name to go with it ;)

Hope everyone is having a relaxing Sunday, tomorrow its back to the ol grind! Lots of Love <3 Ems.

To Sub or Not to Sub

Ohhhh no, I am totally freaking out because I have my first "subbing" assignment tomorrow morning and I can not decide if I really wanna do it or not. It supposed to be for a 8th grade English class, but I am SO not used to teaching older kids, and you guys KNOW how middle schoolers are, especially with substitute teachers. I just dont know if I really want to put myself in that position or not! I just can't decide!! What do you think?!

Anyway onto the EATS! Lunch was a grilled sammie with a granny smith apple on the side:

Close-up/Break-down:

• 2 Slices Wheat Bread
• Red Pepper Hummus
• Salsa
• Spinach
• Onions
• Spicey Mustard
• Deli Turkey

Dinner:

• Kashi Moroccan Curry Pilaf
• Sauteed Mushrooms and Spinach

Sorry for the quick/boring post, but thats all I've got for today. My mind is flooded with this subbing thing I've got going on. Any advice/tips/words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated!

Happy Hump Day! Lots of Love, <3 Ems.

Awards, Assignments, and Another Word That Starts with An "A"...

Good Morning Friends!

For some reason I was reminded of how we would start the day each morning when I was student teaching in a 1st grade classroom. We would always say good morning to our friends by standing in a circle and tossing a ball to each other. The person throwing the ball would say "good morning" to the person that they were throwing it to and the person catching the ball would say "good morning" back and then choose another friend to throw the ball to. This would continue until every one of the students had been greeted in the morning. I always thought that this was so cool, because my mentor teacher told me that she believed that it was so important for every child to know that they are welcome in the class and that they have friends there with them. All of the kids LOVED it. I think that this can be carried over into the adult world too, dont you think?! I mean who doesnt love it when a friend looks them in the eye with a big smile and says "good morning!" I know it always puts a smile on my face. So, Im bringing out the teacher in me and giving all of you an assignment. Brighten someones day RIGHT NOW and look over, send a text, give a call to a friend and "good morning"! I promise you will make a difference in their day.

My day was brightened this morning because Miss Mica gave me MY FIRST BLOG AWARD! Here is a visual representation of what I looked like when I saw that she had presented me with this lovely award.

Ok, but in all seriousness, thank you Mica, I think that you have one of the most creative and awesome blogs out there too. And I wanna just give it right back to ya. But someone beat me to the punch. So I'll pick five others...if I can!

There are so many creative blogs out there, I tag these lovely blogger girlies:

• Jenn: because she always has the most creative titles for her posts. :)
• Katie: because she is just so witty and funny.
• Leslie: because she never fails to entertain with her pictures and posts.
• Erica: because she always comes up with the most creative recipes for din din.
• Megan: because she is a fellow teach, with style and good food...and you cant go wrong with that!

Now for food! Lunch yesterday:

Peanut Butter and Jelly Sammie with a Granny Smith

Time for a close-up/break-down:

• Wheat Bread
• Mighty Maple Peanut Butter
• 1/2 Nanner
• Blackberry Preserves
• a few randomly placed raisins

Breakfast this morning:

Weird. I NEVER eat cereal for breakfast, but I had the BIGGEST craving for it this morning.

Close-up/Break-down:

• 1 cup All-Bran Flakes
• Other half of the Nanner from my sammie yesterday
• Handful of Blueberries
• 1/2 cup Vanilla Soy Milk

Ok, I thought I would share this with you guys as well to see what your opinions are. As i was uploading my pictures I remembered this picture that my manager at work had me take last night of the cake that she ordered from a place we will not mention, to protect the innocent.

Horrible, right?! Keep in mind that this was a TINY cake and she paid about $30 for it. Its supposed to say "Happy Late 25th Birthday, Love Ya Daddy" IN ALL CAPS. hmmm...looks like it says "Happy Tote 25th, Lare Ya Daddy". haha. We got a pretty big kick out of it.

Anyways, time to get my butt of the computer and start my day. Its a pretty one! Dont forget your assignment and dont forget to have a WONDERFUL DAY! Lots of Love, Ems <33

All is Full of Love

Happy Valentines Day everyone. I hope everyone is having a great one so far. Anyone have any romantic plans for tonight?! My boy currently lives 3000 miles away, so I of course, do not. But I think that my friend and I are going to go see the Uninvited tonight after work to "celebrate".

I was feeling kinda festive this morning however, and started thinking of some of my all time favorite love songs. So I thought that it would be fun to share them with you. I narrowed it down to my top ten, so if your interested you should def. go download them and listen to them on repeat for the rest of the day ;)

My Valentines Day Mix:

1. All is Full of Love - Deathcab for Cutie
2. First Day of My Life - Bright Eyes
3. Is This Love? - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
4. When I'm 64 - The Beatles
5. Somewhere Only We Know - Keane
6. The Luckiest - Ben Folds
7. Yellow - Coldplay
8. Life Less Ordinary - Carbon Leaf
9. Such Great Heights - Postal Service
10. My Favorite Book - Stars

Now! On to lunch which was wonderful! I decided to try a little experiment with ingredients that I needed to use up today. So I made a peanut butter, apple, and jelly sandwich! I usually use bananas, but I only had one apple left so I thought hey...apples go good with peanut butter...why not?! I was afraid that the apples might be too crunchy for a sandwich, so i decided to grill the sandwich to soften them up! Heres what it looked like before sandwich-izing it:

• 2 slices honey wheat bread
• 2 tbsp. mighty maple peanut butter
• a few thin slices of apple
• some cinnamon sprinkled on top :)
• blackberry preserves

Then I sprayed a pan with some non-stick spray, sandwiched that baby up, grilled it, and came out with this:

Gooey, crunchy, sweeeet goodness! :)

I also had some Fage 0% greek yogurt with blueberries mixed in on the side.

Now THAT, my friends, is some good eats! :)

So my Beautiful Blogging Bud Nicole bag tagged me, so now I must share with you yet another of my "bags". Here is the bag that I am currently carrying:

Ok, here is the story with the bag. I kinda have a thing for snakeskin, so when I saw this bag I HAD to have it. I bought it at ALDO when I was on vacation in Charleston, SC. I dont think that it cost too much, maybe around $40. But I love this thing, and I carry it pretty much all the time! Here is what I have inside:

• Extra gum, supermint (its the best)
• brush
• my HUGE-O vintage sunglasses
• my bajillion keys
• HUGE make-up bag
• wallet

So there you have it. Nothing too scandalous or exciting. Well, Im off to get ready for work. Yes, my valentines day involves working in the mall. fun fun.

Everyone be sure to check out Erica's blog for a great giveaway, and just because her blog is AWESOME!

Hope everyone has a GREAT Valentines Day filled with love whether it be from friends, family, significant others, etc. Lots of Love <3 Ems

Just Havin' a Good Time

Happy Saturday everybody! I hope everyone is having a blast this weekend. My weekend has been filled with work, work, and more work. But thats OK with me, because that means im racking in the cash flowage. haha. I just got home from a 9 HOUR shift!! NO BREAK! Im a workin woman, thats for sure!Today was the most beautiful sunny day too! ohhh spring is sooo close! :)

I had to pack up my lunch since I knew that I was going to be at work for so long. isnt it just the cutest?

flat out wrap and a granny smith apple.

My breakfast this morning was such a disappointment :( I think that I put too much water and/or milk in my oats and they were all runny! PLUS Im pretty sure that my roommate ate about 95% of the HUGE-O carton of blueberries that I bought, so I didnt have many left. I did what I could though.

This bowl contained:

• 1/2 cup of oats
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 cup vanilla soy milk
• few blueberries
• 1 banana
• few blackberries

Now Im off to have dinner with some girlies from work. I am SO TIRED though, so I might have to call it a short night. Anyways gals, I leave with the hilarious video for your saturday night viewing pleasure...hopefully this is you tonight, "just havin' a good time".
