Last nights dinner

Last night’s dinner looked like this

IMAG0170

IMAG0171

Love me some carbs. Nothing like carbing up for the half marathon this weekend!

Q: have you ever had spinach with cottage cheese? I’ve been told that’s a weird combination!

Breakfast

IMAG0172

Almond butter was not very runny like I like my butter to be so I tried the peanut butter and it was exactly opposite! This bagel was oozing out all over when I stuck the two sides together. I had to walk to class sticking it away from me while eating so it dripped on the ground. I bet the birds loved that! :)

IMAG0173

I found me a nice bench by this lovely bush outside. I have an hour between classes and I like to go to my last class and read the chapter before it starts. So here I am reading. It was too cold in the building so I went out to enjoy the weather!

Lunch

 

IMAG0175

Fried green beans and double deli grill sandwich. At least I’m eating green beans? I think I might like them even if they weren’t fried, as long as they were fresh ones and not out of the can (ew) and were made soft like these.

Running

and lots and lots of ice!!

Sorry the pictures are so dark, my roommate was sleeping and I didn’t want to be rude having the light on.

Dinner

Did you say carbs? Of course!

IMAG0179

I’m pretty sure you’ve noticed by now I like my carbs. If not, then you do now!

 

OH and I just wanted to say that I normally don’t look this absurd, but I just skipped rocks for the first time and was really excited!!

IMG_8177

But really Alex said “Jump up and down and be excited” because he missed the actual expression I had after skipping rocks. hah

OH and also here are some pictures of alex from the Track meet!

Nice facial expression right?

(I did not take these pictures. They were on the athletic website)

He ran a 4:05 1500m, I was proud!

Q: Do you know how to skip rocks?

Q: What other talents do you have?
