I Smell Nice Today

So, I took a shower today (you don’t want to know how often I don’t take a shower. LOL.  Hard core baby!) and I used one of my favorite Bath and Body Shower Gels: Black Raspberry Vanilla.  Man, I forgot how much I missed using these smelly things…my other favorite is Japanese Cherry Blossom…seriously, if you want a new shower gel to try, go get those two!  I promise you’ll love them!  I didn’t even realize how nice it smelled when I was showering (in cold water I might add, no hot water again!) until I walked outside into the crazy wind to do my laundry that I smelled myself…delight!

Haha…can we tell that I’m in a more spunky, quirky mood today?  Thank goodness!  I’ve definitely missed it!

Anyhow, my day started off with a flash bang: THUNDER AND LIGHTNING!  I would have gone back to sleep like Jen, but well, when I’m up in the morning, I’m up!  So instead I opened up the shades right next to my bed and watched it rain…for a few hours.  And read.  It was such a nice morning.

I finally got out of bed a little while later (ok, like two hours) and finally had some breakfast!  I was starving at this point, but wanted something simple, and other than yogurt.  Enter: Nature’s Pride 12 Grain bread w/ WF Natural PB, cinnamon and a nanner.  Delish!  Gotta get some potassium to those legs (I’ve been getting Charlie horses early in the morning the past few days; horrible feeling)!

And then I started on this GRE crappiness brain strengthening-ness:

Vocab anyone?  God I hate vocab…

And since breakfast didn’t fill me up at all (maybe next time two pieces of bread and two tablespoons of PB) I had this bowl of about a cup of Cinnamon H2H and some grapes times 2:

And then I tried to remember all my high school math.  I haven’t taken a math course since my Junior Year of High School, and that was Pre-calculus.  How I got away with that in college…I’ll never know. Ok, I do, I took the placement exam and passed w/ flying colors…

Too bad I hardly remember anything now.  Just kidding, but it’s def taking a while to come back though!  Ack!

It rained all morning and around lunch we tried to get out to the tower to watch, but uh, we couldn’t.  The road out was totally flooded!  Which meant that well, I was kinda living on an island at the moment.  Eep!

We came back, and well, dug into lunch since we couldn’t work!  It wasn’t our fault!  I had leftover Mexican Snobby Joes with two carrots and about 1.5 servings of whole grain goldfish.

I worked some more on some prefixes on flashcards and needed brain food.  Enter these fabulous babies provided by Brandi: (oh yeah, and I tried Newman’s Own Organic Dark Chocolate PB cups a bit back…those things have nothing on the real PB cupsSorry guys; keep trying!)  Great brain food, right?

I tried to make it a bit healthier thereafter:

Ok, I tried.

I did get in a walk though!  After having to sit on my butt-ay all day I was in need of some movement!  So I ventured out to the flooded roads and walked them.  It was pretty fun…I felt kinda adventurous.  Haha.  Around two miles in the water…my toes were a bit cramped afterwards.

Like my very soaked butt legs?  Thought so!

And then I did a bunch of ST  moves…boy am I going to be soar tomorrow!  I’m still shaky two hours later!  Hrm…what does that say about my strength…not much huh?  Such a light weight!

Now I’m off to finish my novel, start a new one, finish laundry and get in some dinner grub!  May or may not post it tonight seeing as how it’s not going to be very exciting (Eggs?  Really?  I’m sure you know what they look like) but I’ll be reading up on all of you pretties!!!

PS  Did I mention that my Snobby Joes last night qualified for my goal this week (to use lentils in a dish) that Miss hot thang PB and Jenny asks us about every week?  Yeah sunshine, I got mine down!

I love those kinds of mornings when it's raining outside and we're at home, warm in our pjs :)

Jen said...

Bath and Body Works is amazing. Try the "sensual amber" I'm telling you it will change your life - lol. Good luck with the GRE review...

K from ksgoodeats said...

Woohoo for showers!! I'm the same way - when I'm up, I'm up no matter the time. Glad you had a relaxing morning though! Good luck with all of the studying! You'll be great :)

Mica said...

Mmm, I might have to go get those scents. Black Raspberry Vanilla sounds really good! (Though I have this weird paranoia that if I smell to fruity and sweet, I'll attract swarms of bees...is that true, science girl?!?)

I should really follow your lead and get on that GRE train... the math just makes my head hurt so much!

Your Reese's look amazing. I had a bite of peanut butter cop in ice cream last night, but it was not enough!
