Lately…

Lately… I’ve been absolutely swamped with work.

The college I go to is on the quarter system, so our classes are extremely fast-paced and we have a constant flow of midterms. My schedule has been revolving around waking up around 6-7 a.m, classes, studying, essays, more studying, and bed around 12-1. Repeat. Luckily, I’ll have a few days of more of a break this upcoming weekend before I have to get ready for midterms round #2.DSC_1625Lately… I haven’t been exercising.

And you know what? That’s perfectly okay. Sometimes sleep is more important than worrying about working out and it’s fine to take a week off when I’m crazy busy.

IMG_4033Lately… I had a weekend night out to relax!

My parents, Grandma, and cousin came up to visit last Saturday and we went to a fantastic restaurant called The Lark. It was a family-style restaurant where you order a massive amount of food and everyone shares. That’s my kind of place!

We took our good friend Ryan along with us and he shared a few sentimental moments with Kyle. Guess I have some competition?

Because nothing goes better with the coffee I’ve been gulping down (my veins are swimming with it lately) and See’s candy is just too good to pass up!

IMG_1586Lately… I’ve been really looking forward to Valentine’s Day!

Kyle and I have a secluded restaurant up in the mountains called Cold Spring Tavern that is our “special place” and that we go to for anniversaries/celebrations/etc. I can’t wait to get all dressed up in a new outfit! I recently ordered these two off of Tobi, and can’t decide which one to wear. Help!

And that’s all that’s new! Time to get back to the grind.

 

WIAW #1

I thought participating in my first What I Ate Wednesday would be the perfect way to celebrate my first week of blogging. Like most bloggers, this is really what I ate on Tuesday ;).

Breakfast: Oatmeal with a sprinkle of brown sugar, honey, and raisins. A banana on the side and plenty of coffee! Along with half a sticky bun (couldn’t resist!).

Ooooeeeyyy-goooeeeyyy goodness!

Lunch: Lots of yummies made an appearance at lunch. Chicken pot pie, buttered beets, green beans, and some raw veg made up the main course.

A salad on the side…

And some fresh fruit to top it off!

Dinner: A gyro sandwich on pita with fresh lettuce, cucumers, tomatoes, and beef slices. A huge dollop of tzatziki sauce on top and some tahini on the side.

Another salad. Loving me some carrots at the moment!

Dessert: One of my favorite times of the day is at night when Kyle and I have our usual coffee and chocolate date. With all the See’s Candy that my parents gave us, I don’t think we need to worry about running out anytime soon!
