five in five

It’s amazing what a total of 21 1/2 hours of sleep over the course of the past two nights has done for my overwhelmed self . I’m calmer. I’m happier. I’m feeling much less likely to pull a Britney and shave my hair off in an act of “I’ve-lost-it-all-including-my-mind” insanity.

I still have lots on my plate but I feel much more prepared to just sit down, organize my life + take it all on.

Bring. It On.

To counterbalance yesterday’s post, let’s give another round of five in five for some much-needed fun.

five of my favorite non-food blogs

• The Glamourai <- a Snackface recommendation, Kelly is my new fashion icon
• Bohemia & Bull <- creativity as its finest

the five best things I ate this week

• the same lovely breakfast snackplate I ate three days in a row <- Berry Oatmeal Scone , egg w/ nutritional yeast + banana drizzled in almond butter
• a Great Dane Pub Dane Burger <- topped with spinach artichoke dip {!!!}
• the most perfectly juicy orange
• a Pecan Bar <- it was the best one I’ve EVER had

five things on my to-do list

• pay the bills
• clean my apartment <- before Megan + Amy come today to visit {!!!}
• start a freelance writing assignment
• call LOTS of family + friends <- I’m embarrassingly a bit out of touch right now
• cheer for the Green Bay Packers in the Super Bowl tomorrow, because I live in Wisconsin and would be perhaps crucified if I didn’t

five recipes I’m dying to make

• asian snack mix <- because I’m newly obsessed with wasabi peas
• Elise’s  Vegan Cheesecake
• Cinnamon Sugared Bacon <- some people may say why?, I say why not?
• buckwheat bakes a la Ashley

• “Our best decisions, the ones that we never regret, come from listening to ourselves.” – Felicity
• “My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life but doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.” – Oprah
• “When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time the tide will turn.” – Harriet Beacher Stowe
• “I try not to break the rules but merely test their elasticity.”
• “In 3 words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.” – Robert Frost

Pick a list from above and give me FIVE things. Your turn, and go!
