wicked exhausted

Two things:

1. I’m quite impressed by the response to the NuttZo giveaway that’s going on over here! Keep on entering — it’s your last chance tonight!

2. My brain is absolute mush right now. Any typos or information which shouldn’t be shared (and is) is not my fault.

Hands down I have the best mother and aunt in the world. Last night, the four of us went into the city (Chicago if you’re new around here) to see Wicked. I have seen it before with Mommasita, but the Sister and Aunt have not before. My mom graciously bought us tickets to go see the play. It is my absolute favorite performance. The Wicked Witch of the West is so misunderstood! Before, we went to dinner, which was absolutely wonderful — Thanks Mom and Aunt Deb!

While that was a great night, staying up past midnight on Wednesday nights don’t really fly over too well with me. I’m a “be in bed at 9 every night” kind of girl if I do say so myself.

So when that alarm clock went off at 5:15 (yes, that’s sleeping in), I didn’t exactly fly out of bed.

At least I had oatmeal on the brain…

 

Chocolate Peanut Butter Oats to be exact — with a tall (2) mugs of coffee to get me rolling for a long day of teaching.

 

Thankfully, Thursday mornings are super easy for me — I feel like I tell you that every Thursday.

One of my plan periods was used to eat a large portion of grapes the Husband bought me the other day. I actually wrote “get grapes” on his To Do List he was making — can’t ignore a food craving!

 

It was also pointed out to me I’m living in the past….

 

During lunch, I used some of my time to work on a few blog things…

Any ideas of what’s coming in the (very) near future?

 

Lunch looks disgusting — don’t judge me. It tasted good going down and leftovers are never overrated when it comes to getting only five hours of sleep.

 

I had to risk my life to go get my CSA box after school today — this time it wasn’t because I was afraid of the location still, but because of the snow! It started snowing on my way home. It has since stopped.. but is supposed to start again soon.

I came home and kicked it up with Jillian with 6 Week 6 Pack — holy abs. Other than the fact that I kept yelling at the Husband to go away and not look in my direction while looking like a fool, it was awesome. Definitely a great alternative when I couldn’t get to the gym today.

Because dinner calls…

I think the first thing I thought of after eating my breakfast this morning was roasted vegetables. That’s all I wanted all day. I kept thinking about them. My mind revolved around them.

 

Thank goodness that was taken care of.

Roasted: kolrabi, red peppers, purple carrots, and red kabocha squash. Tossed in olive oil and roasted at 425 degrees for 30 minutes

Pure bliss…

Since I was all about overdosing with veggies at dinner, I also had a large green salad topped with massive amounts of unpictured hummus.

 

Before dinner, I gave the Husband a hard time about not wishing me a “Happy Engagement Day” as he proposed one year from today.

I tried to convince him all couples celebrate this with romantic dinners, flowers, and lovey-dovey messages in the snow (“Will You Marry Me?” was written in the snow last December).

He did not know how he was supposed to remember this day when he can’t remember what he ate for dinner yesterday. I suggested him writing it down in his phone.

 

During dinner his phone kept making this weird alien noise…when we checked out the situation, it seemed as if he already did that LAST year!

He programmed it into his phone so he wouldn’t forget the date or the time.

I’m pretty sure I had something to do with that.

And he thinks I should have given him another hour to bring it up.

Regardless, it has been recorded and remembered… I’ll report back next December 9.

Until then, I’ll leave you with two things.

1. I should have eaten protein with dinner — I’m hungry already.

2. It’s either more coffee or bedtime right about now. Bed is looking more promising by the minute.

Question: What are some food cravings you have been having lately? OR Have you ever seen a Broadway play? OR How do you handle days where you have not had enough sleep?

Don’t forget to enter the NuttZo giveaway! It ends tonight at Midnight!
