Hey guys,
Today is my last day in Arizona til August 18! I'm actually at the airport waiting to fly back to MI tonight, and I can't wait to get back to the cooler temps. There's only so much 118 degree weather I can take! I woke up early to have breakfast and get over to my apartment so I could be ready for the JC Penny people to call and deliver my mattress. They'd be coming sometime from 8-12... a bit of a time range.
Anyway, I had an amazing breakfast this morning. We were out of pumpkin, and that was a little horrifying at first ;) But I just used some extra greek yogurt and made this fab combo:
Greek yogurt
Sliced banana
TJ's blueberry bran muffin (or as they say, "mini fiber cake")
Copious amount of cinnamon
Unsweetened cocoa powder
Spoon of white chocolate wonderful
It was actually nice to go sans pumpkin for a change. The flavors combined really well, and I liked the chocolate kick that the cocoa powder gave. I'm really lovin the banana slices
and crumbled muffin, so I think I'm definitely gonna have to do this more often.
The mattress people ended up coming around 9:50, so that's good! They even put it on the bed for me. Here's the finished product:
I love the mattress! It's so comfy, and we got it for a great deal :)
I had some frozen grapes as a snack:
For lunch, I was feelin salads again so I had one--err, two.
Romaine + spinach
Mushrooms
Tomatoes
Spicy Sprouts
Gardenburger grilled chick'n patty
Annie's Spicy Ginger marinade
This was a new Annie's marinade, and I liked it! It made my mouth tingle afterwards :)
I added carrots and sliced beets to that one. Yum!
I rented a zipcar (Honda Odyssey) and we moved my harp to my apartment. It went pretty smoothly, so that was good! We went to Lowe's afterwards to get a board to place it on, so it doesn't tip on the carpet.
I had a greek yogurt mix for a snack:
1/3 TJ's greek yogurt container
Cinnamon
Graham Bumpers cereal
Unsweetened cocoa powder
Sliced banana
Unsweetened coconut
Spoon of dark choc. dreams
It was delicious! We packed everything up, and I had a few rice cakes with a lot of pb for some dinner-ish protein. After we got to the airport, I got a super overpriced cup of fresh fruit. We'll probably be boarding in a half hour. Ughhhh I HATE flying, and hopefully I can sleep. There's this screaming baby across from me right now--who knew such a lil thing could be so loud?? Hopefully she's quiet on the flight!
Oh, and my harp teacher emailed me back with her blessings, so no more nightmares!! Hooray! I'm definitely still gonna play, and she wants me to stay connected with the harp program :D
I saw a blog post by Runner's World Daily (the magazine) that made me laugh. It's in response to the NY Times article discussing bloggers taking bribes from companies. If you'd like a chuckle,
