Three Day Weekend! WHOOOOOOOOO

This is my last weekend of freedom. On Tuesday, I will start taking six classes at night on top of subbing. I am nervous and stressed about it. I have tried reminding myself that I took four classes the semester I graduated college on top of working 35-40 hours a week and did fine but surprisingly that does nothing to console me.

For the record, I have classes Monday-Thursday.

Monday: I have 2 classes from 4pm-10pm
Tuesday: Only one class from 7pm-8:40pm
Wednesday: 4:15pm-9:50pm (weird?)
Thursday- 4pm-5:50pm.

I don't necessarily NEED to take six classes so I have decided to possibly drop a class if I don't like it. At the same time, it'd be nice to have more classes out of the way before student teaching.



Brandi was nice enough to send me some maple almond butter (and other goodies!) for guessing a blogger that influenced her meal correctly. I decided the maple flavor in the almond butter would be perfect on top of some chocolate chip waffles.



It was perfect! Especially with a veggie egg scramble.



Pancakes are always something I manage to screw up but waffles? Always turn out decent! And I love to make big batches that I can easily freeze and pop in the toaster later.



The egg scramble was just two eggs scrambled with one orange bell pepper and one zucchini. I split it with Andy. (Gotta sneak my protein and veggies in somehow!)



Lunch was a surprise. We have a gift card for Applebee's so we tried to find an Applebee's. Well none exist around here! So we went to Whole Foods. (Which is 5 million times better!) I got a turkey avocado sandwich with caramelized onions, sun-dried tomato aioli and spinach.



on a whole wheat panini.



And a Tazoberry black tea.



Andy got roast beef with lettuce, tomato, sun-dried tomato aioli and caramelized onions.



And a mango iced tea.



And I tried a few bites of this pesto pasta salad. It was delicious but too creamy and heavy for lunch.



Dinner was out again. We met up with some friends at a local mexican place. I ordered a cranberry margarita.



With an extra shot. Of course. (Hey it's the weekend!)



And a big pile of chicken and veggies. I ate 4-5 bites and boxed the rest up. That margarita filled me up!

I have been trying to limit myself to one alcoholic beverage a week. But I had half a dos equis and margarita this week. Plus today is a big football game thing (Can you tell that I don't understand sports?) and we are planning on going to a friend's house to watch the game. I bought myself some raspberry hard cider just for the occasion.

So that means no alcohol Monday-Saturday for me!

Hope you are having a good weekend, I plan on having another arms and abs day today. I ran a little too hard yesterday and really irritated my knee and heel. Lovely!

Groceries!!!

Let me preface this by saying, I did not eat anything remotely healthy today! The above photo was a New York Cheesecake donut from Krispy Kreme. It was SO good. oh lord. Not 500 calories good though. Next time I hit up the Kreme (in a year or so) I will get something else.

We did some serious grocery shopping tonight. (We shopped like crazy all weekend actually. Oi) I was ready to buy some healthier food options since I ate so badly over the last two weeks. I gotta get serious about losing weight for the wedding.




I was excited to finally find Annie's Mac & Cheese in the individual packages. I've read rave reviews on other blogs. I'll be sure to give my input soon.

Also pictured: Gala apples, baby carrots, pama liquor, chardonnay I found at Bevmo, lentil rice biryani, fire roasted salsa and Oroweat Double Fiber bread. I've seen double protein on other blogs but I can't find it anywhere! :(





A closer look at the Chardonnay. According to other winos it's a bit too light and sort of lame. I wish I had read reviews before buying! Oh well I'll give it a shot.

"I did not believe this when I first heard it, but I found an article online that confirmed what I had heard on the radio was true. Charles Shaw's Chardonnay was selected as the Best Chardonnay from California at the California State Fair Commercial Wine Competition.
According to the Napa Valley Register, "The chardonnay received 98 points, a double gold, with accolades of Best of California and Best of Class."
Charles Shaw is often frowned upon, but it seems that $2 buck Chuck's Chardonnay is a real winner."
http://www.budgetvino.com/chardonnay/ I love blogs like this.

Now I wish I bought some 2 buck chuck! I love their Chardonnay.


I also got some Wyder's Raspberry Cider at Bevmo.


Also pictured: Quaker True Delights! I got raspberry, chocolate and almond. It looks awesome.


Andy was super excited to get some beer for his birthday from our best friends. Of course, he opened it up as soon as we got home to inspect.

Chili beer with a chili pepper in it! What the heck!!!???!

We have enough alcohol to get us through 2009!
