I actually didn’t take too many pictures at the tasting pavilion because I was busy, well, tasting! Here are the ones I do have, supplemented with ones borrowed from my roommates Danica, Holly, Susan, and Janetha. Before heading into the tasting, Kyle and my sister joined up with me (I’m not the only foodie in my family). :) So stripe-y. We took some photos in the sunshine…and then the clock struck one and it was time to go. Waiting for the event to start reminded me of being in a corral before a running race. … Read more >

Yesterday morning I woke up, caffeinated myself, ate my butternut coconut oats, went for quick expensive shopping trip on the Promenade, then came home for a nice wheatberry lunch. What you DIDN’T see was what prompted this… Yucky weather. WSJ’s Style & Fashion section. Dangerous duo. I ended up spending $218 at Forever21 in under 2 hours – yikes! Good thing I’m starting my job soon… After lunch I went grocery shopping. I’ve found that I spend way less on groceries when I shop in a semi-full state (sadly, this is rather necessary since I’m… Read more >

Saturday was sponsored by the letter “b” apparently. Kyle and I woke up at 7 am to get in a morning jog. I hate working out early in the AM, but I love how it frees up the rest of the day. So conflicting. The reason I don’t like rise-and-shine cardio is because I suck at it. I’m slow in the mornings. I don’t really start to function until an hour (or two, if I’m being honest) after I’ve been awake. The route I took Saturday morning typically takes me 24 minutes (when I do… Read more >

Such a productive day! First and foremost, I set up a job interview (hooray!), so…yeah. There’s that. But in addition to my latest career progress, I tackled more things on my to-do list and ate some amazing meals. The night before bed I threw together a tupperware full of overnight oats. I know I’ve mentioned it before, but I do like my oats raw. When I was young I ate Quaker’s packets with milk like cold cereal. I guess today’s overnight oats are just the more nutritious version… I wonder how long 2 1/2 pounds… Read more >

I went to bed sooo late last night because I was waiting for Kyle to finish his homework (yes, he has homework). Too bad for me that didn’t end up being until 1 am. I wasn’t too concerned because, hey, it’s not like I have a job or anything. But instead of sleeping in and regaining those lost hours, I was up and at ‘em at 7:30. 😡 6 hours of sleep? Meh. Not bad, but not a routine I want to roll with all the time. The early rise and shine did give me… Read more >
