Blackberries and brownies

Well here I am. Taking a breather...*sigh*.

I'm here early at GURP waiting for my 6PM class. I just ate my blackberries in shame after indulging in two Rafaellos and half a Little Debbie brownie. I got them for Tricia! Anyhow, waiting for my Amy's burrito to cool down, (remember to never pay more than $2 for one of those) I'm reflecting on the past semester and trying to get ready to think about all that is coming up.

Ugh, I don't really want to think about that right now, though. But, I'll need to coordinate summer classes and the last months of my AmeriCorps year plus all the "life" stuff that comes with it...a job, a new place to live, etc.

I had my last HDF class meeting this afternoon and didn't go back to the office except to pick up my car. I chatted for a while with Tricia while I was debating whether or not it was too hot in my car and then I headed out to Wally World for some snacks. No, not snackey cakes, Chris, but I did get Little Debbie brownies, which don't count.

I've been to the Pyramid Village Wal-Mart a couple of times recently which takes me back to last year when I lived in Aycock. Sometimes I get confused at the Wal-Marts because of their slightly different layouts of aisles and aisles of lots of stuff that we shouldn't buy but at least I get a workout when I'm looking at shampoo and then have to trek over to the other end of the world to get a banana.

Or a bunch of bananas, rather. Oh, and I am so over that banana thing I had going last month. For now.

Let me upload the millions of pics on my camera so I can let you know what I did this weekend because I know you just can't wait!

It's that time again...

I like how the day that I traditionally check my bank account to see the gorgeous deposit that UNCG has made for my hard-earned hours in the past month, I also get my student loan statement bright and early in the morning.

Oh, Citibank, you little tease, you.

I haven't posted in a while, but for good reason. I'm trying to wrap up the semester and I'll be super-happy when that happens. This is my last week of classes more or less. I am only going to a class meeting next week to finish up presentations. I should be finishing up my GLP entries so I get credit before I graduate! I have a backlog of entries for my blog with a million photos, again, with my phone's awesome camera-ing capabilities. I'm off now--it's already 6:30AM and I must begin the day!

Non-dairy frozen dessert

Chris, don't worry, I know that this is how you feel about my blog.

Out of Touch

Can I just say, I love Hall & Oates, my goodness.

I have only recently discovered them. I knew the songs, just not that they sang them. Have we idolized the 80s enough yet, you think?

And I thought Nelly Furtado was the only Maneater out there.

Please Don't Go...Gravitron

Ok, ok, I am doing work...I'm printing out a handbook to look over for my paper.

After listening to some Hall & Oates, YouTube destiny linked me to the reincarnation of "Please Don't Go Girl". Then, I saw it...the Starship 2000, or the Gravitron. I loved this ride. It makes me want to eat centrifugal force.

Oh, here is the original. C-l-a-s-s-i-c.

Матрёшка

I just burned a carrot that I cut up into little, cute pieces. That's what I get for trying to eat carrots for breakfast, *sigh*. I want some Pure Decadence right now...what's up with the Food Lion here jacking up the prices on it, like, every week?! They know I'm addicted. I just may make a trip out there...ice cream for breakfast!

Oh, I just checked the website and it's actually "Purely Decadent" not "Pure Decadence". Either way, it's true. Should I really be buying ice cream (and maybe some white Zin...maybe?) before noon on a Sunday? Can I even buy wine before noon on a Sunday?

Oh, goodness, I'm getting off track. Back to birthing my paper. Sorry, Erika, for stealing that. It just sounds so good.

Snacky Cakes

What ever happened to the Oreo?

I went to Harris Teeter yesterday to pick up lunch (HT chicken salad on crossaint, $3.99, a bit much but good) and of course a make-up box of Oreo Cakesters to take to Grace. I swear, I stood in front of the cookies in the cookie aisle forever trying to find these Cakesters. There are officially way too many Oreo products on the shelves. Not only are there a million types of the main cookie--from regular to Double Stuff to those mommy-fied cereal straws. Then there's the cereal and mini-cookies and ice cream and blah blah blah. I really thought there weren't any Cakesters, but I did find them and they were on sale! 2/$4 but I only got one box...yay for some good decisions!



There it is. The last in the package. I better not eat them.

So, I picked up lunch at Barnes & Noble today while I was returning a medical Spanish-language reference and buying some others from a somewhat rude cashier. Those Terra chips have the oddest texture but they are so good. Too bad I've bent the hell out of my frenillos eating them. I got a turkey sandwich and by the time I had a few bites left, I wondered if I was eat ham and i freaked out and threw out the rest of the meat. But, here is what it was before I started thinking too much:



When I pulled into the parking lot at Barnes & Noble I saw this and busted out laughing. Oh, childhood.



To quote Erika, I will be birthing a paper soon.
