Today was a great day!  I was able to return to school, I got a B on the Biology test…even though my teacher is the devil.  Seriously, I went up to him before class and asked for my test, he told me to see him after class.  Grrr!  So when I sat down, one of my classmates told me the grade was up on Blackboard, so while he was going on about our homework, I was hopping on my iPod touch and checking my score!  Wooo!

Then, I came home and sort of finished my Informatics homework.  Then I got some laundry done and watched some Heroes (why do I torture myself) and then went for a walk.  It was a GORGEOUS night out, so it felt good and we had good chats…like always.

My mom is leaving tomorrow for San Antonio tomorrow and we decided to wake up extra early to do our run.  I guess I won’t be on my own until Wednesday!

Hope you all had a great day and don’t forget to check out the Tuesday Tracks tomorrow!  Lots of recipes!  :)

{On a totally random note, I am making BBQ tofu tomorrow, I’m a bit nervous, but I’m sure it will be delicious!}

So, the last couple of days I have been knocked off my horse.  I am sick…it would appear that I have the flu, at least according to the nurse who diagnosed me on the phone (because of the swine flu fear).  While my mother and I don’t think that  I have the flu I am forced to take it easy, and not go to school…which is a total joke because we are supposed to get our biology tests back!!

Anyway, I had to run out to campus earlier and drop off a paper for my internship course.  And, when I got back home, I found that I had not one but TWO packages waiting for me!  Guess what they are?

The first was my granola that I ordered from MixMyGranola.

And, the second was my amazing package from Vitalicious!  I couldn’t believe how much they sent me!

YUM!!

I know these probably shouldn’t have made my day, but they totally improved it.  Anyway, I am forced to stay home and relax, so I will get back to relaxing, but expect reviews soon for these two amazing products!

I typically look forward to my “training” as I like to call it. However, yesterday was a bit different. I woke up feeling ill, and couldn’t even get myself to do my homework. {Not a smart decision considering I have a paper due tomorrow.} I had hoped it would go away, but it didn’t. So, no walking for me. I was congested, with a sore throat. I did stay on the diet, and I am hoping that today will be a better day. I am up super early, and kind of think I can get lots of stuff done.

I’m still congested but hope to get back to it today…also, how cute are these flowers?!

So today I went for a walk with my mom since we took Saturday off instead of today.  It went well, but I realized something…on the days she can’t go with me, I am going to need a playlist!  My issue is though, I lost all my music when my computer broke, and now with a new iPod I need to decide what to download.

So, leave me a comment with your favorite workout tune!

This last week was so weird!  I had lunch with my dad Thursday, then Friday ate out with my mom, and then my other dad came to town and took me out for dinner.

Things with my dad went ok, we see each other once a month.  We have a different relationship.  Ever since the divorce things haven’t been the same.  I guess I will get into that another day.

Dinner with my mom was good.  She’s one of my best friends, so I love to see her and spend time with her.

My other dad is the best.  He’s the closest thing I have had to a real dad in a long time.  So good to see him, we had a good chat and I’m planning a trip out there.

And, without anymore wait…here are pictures from today.  Please excuse my wrinkled shirt, I was in my comfy clothes. (more…)
