Cereal for Dinner + Forest Animal Cookies

Hi! Guess what?

Monday is ovah!

I know I said I like Mondays. But I also like seeing them end. SO, today was MLK Junior day, an important holiday we should all honor. But I didn’t have it off work, so I decided to take a half day and MAKE myself have it off! I wanted to go shopping and get some stuff settled in my new place, so that’s exactly what I did.

I met my sister for lunch at the mall and we got paninis at Frulatti:

This was awesome! It was turkey, melted provolone, and tomatoes (I ditched the sauce it came with, which was mayo-y and looked kind of suspicious). I thought about ordering a smoothie, but—fun fact—the smoothies there have upwards of 350 calories! So basically, sugar in a cup. If I was going to have sugar in a cup at lunch, I would definitely go for Dairi Queen.

Anyway, sorry for the sugar rant. I also had Harvest Cheddar Sun Chips:

And this cookie. Ok, for some reason, this cookie makes me laugh out loud every time I look at it. Seriously, it’s weird, I need to stop. But doesn’t it look like, I don’t know, some kind of little forest creature? Maybe it’s just me:

Maybe like a squirrel burrowing down for the winter. Or a little mole. Ok, I’m done. It’s just got a very strange shape to it.

After work, I visited the gym and discovered that I was NOT feeling it. Oh no, I hate that. I turned up my music until it was hurting my ears, but Hannah Montana can only motivate so much. I need some new, upbeat running songs. Any suggestions??

After my run, during which I plodded along, pathetically glancing at the clock every 3 minutes or so, I headed home to contemplate dinner. Even though I wasn’t super excited to be at the gym, when I got home, I was glad I went. You never regret a workout!

I went to the grocery store today, and you know how when you come home from grocery shopping, you want to eat little bites of everything because you’re so excited about all the new food? I usually have one hand in the Cheez-Its (which I bought some of today) before I even get out of my car. Grocery shopping is pretty much the highlight of my week. If you think this is sad, you may be right.

Anyway, at dinner, all the brand new boxes in the pantry were calling my name. Tonight marks the return of my absolute fave granola (BearNaked) and I dumped some in a bowl with honey nut cereal (I don’t know what kind!), bananas, and milk:

And called it dinner. I got a little excited with the milk and used too much. And yes, I totally slurped it up at the end.

Dessert involved some of the sweetest strawberries I’ve ever had! They were SO good. But they were even better dipped in my best bud, the almond butter:

I’m full.

Guess what else I bought at the grocery store?! My total favorite magazine (I know I said this before, but it beats Glamour, honest):

People StyleWatch! Kim Kardashian is going to tell me what to buy for spring, and I can’t wait. Every late January or so,  I get REALLY impatient to buy spring clothes, accessories, etc, even though I won’t be able to wear them for about 4 more months, because Indiana is stupid.

If you want, I will report back on what is hot and what is not for 2010.

Have a great night! See you bright and early!
