Straight Chillin’

Ohhh you guys!!  I should have known I could count on you to perk me right up :D   Honestly though, I know so many of us are experiencing similar frustrations, and have experienced them…AND are super awesome and inspire me to NEVER stop learning! (seriously, this lady’s got mad letta’s after her name :D )  It is really helpful for an anxiety-laden person like myself to relate to and connect with supportive people who give great advice.  Blogging= perfecto…

I was back in the game at school today, at least all the work distracts me from any discouragement!?

Also, a delicious breakfast works wonders :)

Kashi waffles with LC, jam, egg whites and turkey bacon!! YUM.

Lunch: Turkey-pita sandwich.

My roommate and I hit up Starbucks about once or twice a week to study…I always hit up the usual skim latte, like always forever.

UNTIL…I just tried the Coffee Light Frappuccino on a whim- O.M.G.  In love!!!  It’s really refreshing and light, a good change from my usual!

We came home in the mood for some good eats- every night we say, “Ughhh I’m sick of all our food.”  I hate that!

So we bought a half-lb. of shrimp, jarred pesto and WW penne, cooked it all up with EVOO and cherry tomatoes + steamed broccoli.

Oh man, we were in heaven!  It’s amazing what a few spices/sauce/pizazz can do to jazz up a meal.  Yea my place setting did not change all day, it’s cool :D

IMe and the roomz- matchy rings!!  Love her.

Thank you all so much again for your support, I need to remember life is a journey, NOT a destination!!  Lol, hmm maybe I should plaster inspirational quotes all over my room??  Hope you all had a great weekend and are gearing up for another good one soon!

Ciao,

CB

    So, I heard of this place called Snappy Sushi. I think when you and your roomie get tired of your eats, you guys should go there! I don’t know, I heard it’s good ;)

    I think by now, you and I can be tour guides of this ‘journey’ thing because we’re pros by now.

    HOT BLING-BLANG! Me likey!

    aw my friend, I am sorry about your previous frustrations about school and being a perpetual student. I know EXACTLY how you feel, with feeling like you face door after door at every turn. I just want one door to open!!! But we’ll get there. The world better watch out for these blondes. ;) xoxo friend!

    Hi Carobee! Cute rings!!! Do i see manicures too?? heheh I got one this weekend as a birthday present, which was fabulous. :) But not as fabulous looking as your waffles and turkey bacon! I’ve actually never tried turkey bacon, but perhaps one day I will!!

    I agree that life is definitely a journey. It can TOTALLY suck sometimes, but there’s always light at the end of the tunnel…AND what doesn’t kill you truly will make you stronger. Hope you’re doing well sweetie!!!! <3 ya!
