Do You Snooze?

I slept in today! (ahhh – angels singing!)

My alarm went off at 5:05 to get up for my morning Mom walk, but I just…couldn’t. You know the feeling! So I texted “skip” to my Mom and hit the snooze button. Forty-five glorious minutes later, I woke up feeling so good.

A lot of times hitting the snooze button just isn’t worth it – sleeping in for an extra 15 minutes isn’t going to make me feel anymore rested and I could be getting stuff done. However, I feel like 45 minutes definitely makes a difference! How many times do you hit the snooze button every morning?

Breakfast is quick and dirty, as they say. A Sampler Style Breakfast.

We’ve got a Banana:

An AppleCinnamon PURE Bar:

Look at those apple chunks! This is one of my favorite bars, purely (ha – purely) for the texture.

And to round things out – a nice Lemon Cream Torte AE Yogurt.

I was actually kind of sad that I didn’t think to mix some yogurt with oatmeal last night, to re-create yesterday’s breakfast. It was that good! Oh well, this way I can eat them all separate – I’m actually saving the PURE Bar for later. 10:00, most likely.  

Lunch shall be the perfect meal, in my opinion…Homemade Chicken Soup and a Honeycrisp Apple.

The funny thing about this soup is that it tastes exactly the same, every time I make it. I know that’s the point of a recipe – but it’s just funny how the taste never varies. I love that because everytime I eat it, I’m instantly transported to my Grandma’s house (it’s her recipe!)

Honeycrisps were on sale at Target yesterday, so dear old Ben made sure to pick me up the biggest ones he could find!

Check out that sticker… This past weekend, my friends and I determined that we hate ladybugs. It feels wrong to say that, but during our freshman year in college there was a ladybug plague on campus. You would literally have 20 of them stuck on your shirt after being outside for mere minutes! There were a ton of them flying around in Iowa City during tailgating, which rekindled our feelings of resentment…

Well, I Tweeted yesterday that I think I might be ready to start listening to Christmas music! I usually wait until Thanksgiving to start indulging in those sweet, sweet tunes but I’ve been listening to Michael Buble (I know) on Pandora a lot lately, and his music always reminds me of Christmas! Do you listen to Christmas music? When you do you usually start?

In other news…it’s Three Question Thursday time! We’re off!

1. What’s the wallpaper on your cellphone?

My answers:

1. A picture of Finn on the day he was born…awww!

2. Marie – the same as my Grandma on my Dad’s side.

3. Heavens no! I’m way too shy…
