Free at last!

December 4, 2009

We all know the famous quote..

I am free at last! YAYYYYY! I am so excited to be graduating. I can’t believe my entire college career came down to today. Seems sort of anti-climactic but that is a-okay. I am graduating! So yay!! :)

Okay, now I need to recap from last night.

We had to go grocery shopping and head to target and we didn’t get home until 9:00(!!!) we needed something quick and easy, and we had a coupon from the paper for a Bird’s Eye Steamfresh meal. Adam wanted the roasted beef in a mushroom sauce, and I thought it sounded delightful.

I immediately threw this in a pan and let it cook down for 10 minutes.

Look at this box of clementines! They were on sale for 6 dollars(for a 5lb. bag of oranges).

I had one while waiting for dinner, you will be seeing lots of these in the near future!

Mmmm..

I have to make my own homemade version of this, doesn’t it look hearty and yummy? It was! Sometimes you need something quick and easy that doesn’t involve a McTummy Ache.

I added a small bowl of snow peas and carrots with a side of Goddess dressing.

Okay, it was one of the best frozen meals I have ever had! SO yummy! It had onions, peas, mushrooms and beef. I gave most of the beef pieces to Adam but I had a few. I eat meat, but I try to avoid red meat as much as I can. If I’m craving it though, I will have some. I never say no to filet mignon..even though my wallet does.

My meal.

With a glass of wine from the bottle we opened the other day.

Oh and the best part of our meal..

Santa’s White Christmas ice cream. If you have a Barnie’s coffee anywhere near you, please do yourself a favor and try a cup of anything flavored with “Santa’s White Christmas”.

Santa’s White Christmas is a flavor they have that has coconut, caramel, nuts and vanilla flavoring and this ice cream tastes exactly like the coffee flavor with huge flakes of a chocolate/espresso bean mix. It tasted like chopped up chocolate-covered coffee beans. I may have added more chocolate..

Had to. SO amazingly good! This is only available at Publix for a limited time, so go find it if you have Publix near you. I love Barnie’s, and it’s a local company! It’s cool to see it growing, we were shocked to find that Publix had made this flavor into an ice cream. Thank youuuuu Publix!

I was about to pass out when I went to post last night and thanks to some encouragement via twitter, I decided to head to bed. Mmm yeah that plan didn’t work. I was just about to drift into blissful sleep when I hear Leo crying. I sat up and shook Adam (he was already asleep) our very short conversation went sort-of like this:

Me- “Adam, Adam..we forgot to walk Leo..”

Adam-”Noooooooooooo!”

Me-”Don’t worry, I got it..”

I threw a jacket on and walked Leo. Then I had to try and fall asleep again. He was still crying a little so I directed him to his “bed”(a folded up old comforter in the corner) and he finally settled down. I tossed and turned until 11:45(about an hour of tossing and turning). Not fun. I woke up late at 6:30..and was literally in rush mode until I left..later then I wanted to. Oh well, it was my last day and nothing(not even the very cold, rainy day which I actually love) was going to make me feel any different! For breakfast I ate most of this..

Kashi H2H and GoLean Crunch.

I saved the orange for school, but forgot about it until lunch where it was happily eaten.

Packed a mix of things(I was in a hurry). I ended up eating some of the carrots, a turkey/mozzarella sammie with lots of baby spinach, the fruit strip, the yogurt and about 1/3 of the kashi pumpkin pie bar.

Unpictured junk food I ate on my last day as an intern(junk food warning, beware):

A mini powdered donut(I brought them in for the faculty but had to sneak one), half a can of Dr.Pepper at lunch( I was dying for some caffeine), and a slice of “congrats” cake from my teacher. We had a little party during specials time and I got a huge balloon, a cake, some teaching goodies, and a very sweet card signed by the entire first grade team. It was really sweet!

I wonder if that stuff has anything to do with the headaches I get so often. I haven’t had one too bad in a while, but I had soda for the first time in a while as well as A LOT of sugar at once and my head was pounding by the end of the day.

I got home to find a package at my door(YAY, more on that in a bit) and had to walk Leo. The weather today has made me feel as if I had stepped into the world of Twilight. I’m not even a “Twihard” but I couldn’t help but think about how much it reminded me of the movie. It was super cloudy and I don’t think it got over 60 degrees. My car read 53 in the morning, 57 on my way home. I love this weather, makes me want to curl up in sweats or PJ’s, drink tea and read. It’s not fun to walk the dog in the pouring, cold rain though..

He lasted five seconds before wanting back inside….thank goodness.

I snacked on another clementine(I told you, you will be seeing lots of these!)

I am also nursing a mug of this, with some agave and a splash of soy milk. Yum!

As for the package I got today, it was from VeggieGirl! She was my secret Santa, for the bloggie secret Santa! :) Yay! I was really excited that she happened to have chosen me. I have often gone to her blog looking for brownie recipes and I found her gift very appropriate!!

I have never heard of Brownie Points buy wow, do these look absolutely amazing.

Mmmmm..

Here’s how the Brownie Points website described “Edgies”:

“Always reach for the corner brownie first? If you crave the delicious, chewy edges of brownies, you’ll love the ‘Edgies’ from Brownie Points.”

The chewy edge of the brownies only?! SERIOUSLY?!?! I am soooo excited you have no idea. I have a huge sweet tooth, and I love love love brownies(especially the corners). I am going to try one of these babies tonight, so a review will come later! :)

Thanks so much VeggieGirl !! You’re so sweet for sending me these, it’s scary how much you know me. ;)

I can’t wait to send the blogger I got a gift, I am going shopping this weekend for it, but I won’t be able to tell you about it until they get their gift. I really love doing a secret Santa thing.

Are you participating in a Secret Santa this year?

I have always been a fan, it’s fun to be secretive and surprise someone with something to make them smile and brighten their day!

I’m off to relax, and EAT..of course. Adam is cooking me dinner. :) Thank goodness I have a husband who loves to cook ’cause it’s smelling mighty delish in this place!
