Gimme Some of That Blogger Lovin'

Talk about the most boring day EVER! I had to sit in a five hour class, to train me to be a substitute (I'm doing it part time to save up some dough for the move to the new job *hopefully* in May). It was pure torture. Boy, am I glad that is over with.

My day got better however when I got home and my roommate walked in calling out "mail callll!" I turned around to see her holding a package...could it be?!

Its my secret cupid valentines gift from Breaking Free and let me tell you, she really did her homework! It was PERFECT and contained a variety of things that I LOVE! including the perfect gift of organic cinnamon! YAY!

The package also contained some p.b. loco chocolate chip cookie dough peanut butter that I CANNOT wait to try, an apples and cinnamon luna bar, some cutsie socks, and a kiddie plate to go with all my other kiddie kitchen items! :) I LOVED IT and will make sure all of it gets put to good use.

In fact I already did put the peanut butter to use and made a pb&j for lunch!

Chocolate chip cookie dough peanut butter, blackberry preserves, and fage 0% mixed with blueberries = best lunch on earth! :)

So I guess boring day makes for a boring post. I'm about to go fill my day up with some interesting stuff right now, hopefully. My friend chris is in town from college for the next couple of days so I think I might hang out with him tonight.

And the countdown begins...8 more hours until my Birthday! <3 Ems

***Dinner Update***

My dinner tonight was simple, but delish!

Annie's White Cheddar Mac and Cheese with peas please.

A "plated" salad with mostly just veggies (tomatoes, green peppers, celery, cucumebers, onions, and spinach leaves) with vinergette dressing.

Hope everyone is having a good night...watch Nip/Tuck! <3

One Little, Two Little, Three Little Indians.

I told you that I would make up for missing a day and do two posts in one day!

So here are the updates on my eats for today:

Lunch: Turkey, red pepper hummus, spinach, sprouts, and salsa, wrapped up in flatout wrap.

Another HUGE-O pear.

And for dinner I had something I had not had in FOREVER and I forgot how good it was:

Amy's Indian Palak Paneer. Soooo good!

I sent off my Secret Cupid package today, so I hope it makes it there with no troubles! Its all in the hands of the postal service now! I actually have a pretty funny story about shipping my package today. I go up to the line and the guy helping me is this friendly older man. I go to pay for my delivery and whip out my debit card. After he scans it he says "would you like any cash back?" I reply "no thanks", and he says back "are you sure?! its the weekend you know!" hahaha. I said "good point!" Everyone was laughing that was waiting in line, it was just not something you would expect.

So I guess you probably noticed that the site looks a tad different. I had a little trouble when i posted last time and completely messed up my entire layout!! I was literally sitting here on the computer for about an hour completely dumbfounded with no idea what to do. So I just reverted it back to a standard layout and then messed around with it a little and relized that I kinda like this better. Its simpler, but I like it better I think.

Ok gals. Im all snuggled up in my pjs and ready to just watch some more romantic comedies and hit the hay. Unfortunately Friday nights are sorta slow around here. Its so weird because everyone usually goes out on thursday or saturday, but never friday. Does anyone else have a weird night of the week in thier home towns that everyone goes out on?

I hope everyone is having a great start to the weekend. Love and hugs! <3

Dinner and a Movie Night!

So I wake up this morning to a text from the bestie saying "dinner date tonight?"...um of course! I have not seen her in about a week and we have a TON of catching up to do over dinner. I got even more excited when I realized that it was Wednesday and my all time favorite SUSHI restaurant has HALF-OFF of all their sushi rolls :) talk about the ultimate BEST night for a dinner date. My friend doesnt really like sushi too much (im trying to get her into it), so I asked her if it was ok to eat there but that we didnt have to, but she said it was fine! YAY! Then we decided that we might as well make a night of it and go to a movie afterward as well. I have been in the mood for a scary movie, so we decided that we are gonna go see The Unborn.

Purrrrrtty scarrrry! haha.

You guys will be so happy to see a break in the flat out wraps streak. I was in the mood for a just plain-o sammie today. I have been craving mushrooms for the past couple o' days so I picked some up yesterday and just HAD to use them in my sandwich for lunch today. Here she is with some Kashi crackers on the side:

roasted red pepper hummus, spinach, mushroom, and salsa sandwich on whole wheat bread...grilled on the Fore-Man!

BURSTING with mushrooms! :)

And then I may have snuck in a couple of these thing-ys for d-cert.

and maybe a few more ;)

I just wanna say thanks again for everyone who was thinking about me and gave me such awesome support for my interview yesterday. Your kind words and thoughts meant soooo much more than I could ever say. It really was a big accomplishment for me to even go. I had to wake up at 330 in the morning to drive the 3 and half hours to get there for the interview. There were so many times where I thought "im just not going to go, there are too many things working against me, it wont be worth it." But, I bit the bullet and I went for it! I knew I wanted to and I WAS NOT going to let negative thoughts get in my way. In a way it kind of reminded me of overcoming the negative feelings and thoughts associated with ED. There was that little voice in the back of my head that told me I couldnt do it, just like with ED telling me I needed to control my body by restricting and exercising, that I was weak if I didnt. But I turned around and looked that little voice right SMACK in the face and I said "I am strong and I can do this", I shook it off and I DID IT! and I was so proud of myself for accomplishing that, whether I get the job or not :)

Ok, time to get ready for "date night"...im GONNA take pictures of the food, im not going to be embarrassed! haha...because you just have to see how AMAZING this place is!

oh yeah, and you bet your Valentines Day Lovin' booty i WILL be particpating in Lee's "Secret Cupid" extravaganza and you probably should too :)

I might try something new tonight...What is your favorite sushi roll?
