I start back to school in ONE week!  eep!  It seems like everyone else is starting back today, but we still have another week.  I’m sure that’s great for everyone else but I am SO ready to get started!   (shoutout to Shannon B, who is probably rocking her first day at her new gig!!)

I seriously feel like I’m a kindergartener starting school for the first time, lol.  I have nervous butterflies in my tummy and I’m just really excited.  I know I’ll rock my nutrition classes but I’m a bit scared about all the chemistry classes I’m going to be taking. 

I’m also a little nervous being so old, lol.  OK I’m not decrepit or anything, at least I’m still in my 20’s for the time being.  But I’m still considered undergrad right now so I’ll be in all the classes with the “kids” right out of high school.  yikes!  I hope I’m not the annoying old lady in class that asks tons of questions and sits in the front row right in front of the teacher.  (though in my defense I have really bad eye sight even with glasses on so I probably should be sitting in the front row just to be able to kindof see).

Anyhoo, as soon as my financial aid comes through and I get my refund moo-lah (which hopefully will be tomorrow) I’m going to go buy my books and time my drive to campus to see if I can find a way that takes less than 1 hr 10 mins.  The drive is gonna suck I’m not going to lie, especially because it’s a busy interstate and I’ll be going back and forth during rush hour most days.  And I’m such a dork that once I get my books I’ll actually probably start studying.  I know I know, it’s painful to be this much of a nerd!

Soooooo anyway.  Today’s breakfast was a rerun of yesterdays.  Leftover biscuits with a bit of strawberry preserves!

Then I went on a cleaning/organizing spree.  I hit the office pretty hard.  It’s been needing to be cleaned since May and I made myself do it today.  I’m going to need the space once school gets going!  And since I was already in cleaning mode I cleaned the living room and hallway carpet.  It’s been a while and it really needed it.  This afternoon I’m going to hit the bedroom- I need to change the sheets and tidy up a bit in there as well.

Right now I’m on lunch break.  I made little pizzas with an english muffin.  I toasted it up a little, then put on some leftover marinara sauce that we had in the fridge, then a sprinkle of cheese and back in the oven till melty and delish!

And a nanner.  I haven’t been getting in enough fruits and veggies lately.  I need to get on that!

Well, I hear the pupster whining, so I guess she’s done with her nap.  Yes, I totally put her down for a nap like a kid! lol!  I better go get her out of her kennel before she throws a fit.

Dinner tonight is baked macaroni and cheeeeeese!  Can’t wait!

Today was bandage change day for the pup and I had to do it.   I wish the vet could have come over and done it for me, lol.  It took Justin holding her down to get it changed.  She did not like it and she let us know about it.  The new bandage doesn’t look as nice as what the vet did, but it will get the job done and keep her paw from getting infected.

Before that, though we had some breakfast to gear up for the job at hand.  I made some whole wheat biscuits.  I used a recipe from allrecipes I think.  I rolled the dough too thin so my biscuits were flat, but still mighty tasty!

With strawberry preserves!  YUM!

And some of the coffee I got while I was in Louisiana with some warm skim milk.

Then we changed the dogs bandage and I hopped on the treadmill and did a quick mile (well, not really quick because I run at about the speed of a turtle, lol).  I don’t usually work out on Sunday’s because our day is usually full with church and stuff, but we skipped this morning since we needed to get my car taken care of so that I can have transportation.  It turns out that it was just the battery, so Justin is working on that as I type.  Hopefully that will get it back to normal again.

Lunch was a sandwich.  Ham on an orowheat sandwich thin with a little mayo, lettuce and some Franks.  I wasn’t really digging it, so I only ate half. 

But I was digging these little bunnies that were hopping right into my mouth!

As soon as my car is ready to go I’m going to hit the grocery store (which I usually do on Saturday’s, but I was kindof incapacitated yesterday).

No idea what’s for dinner tonight.  Any suggestions?

Well things are looking up around here.  The AC is working again.  And it’s just my battery that is wrong with my car.  I was thinking it was the alternator.  I got in a workout- 30 mins on the treadmill.  But it was 30 mins on the treadmill in a house with no AC.  Genius.  I was pretty pooped after that that I turned the fan on high and laid on the couch and read with a big glass of water until  I cooled off  a bit.  Then I was able to get a few things done, but nothing that I had to work too hard to do because it was so hot.  I swept and mopped the kitchen, did a load of dishes, vacuumed and tidied up the living room and that’s about it.

Since I wasn’t able to get out of the house to go grocery shopping I had to scrounge a bit for dinner tonight.  We had some leftover chips and cheese from the taco soup earlier in the week.  There was also a bit of ground turkey in the freezer.  And there are always black beans in the pantry(I buy them in bulk at Costco, lol).  So we had NACHOS!

I just layed them out on a sheet pan and layered everything on.  Then I threw them in the oven and let the cheese get all melty and delish!

See?

I had mine with jalapenos, guacamole(I had some 100 cal packs of wholly guacamole in the fridge), salsa, and the last dollop of greek yogurt from the container.

Yum.

Well, I guess that wraps up today.  It was kinda sucky and I’m pretty cranky so I’m going to call it an early night.

Night!

My poor pup!  I have no idea what she did to her paw, but the skin on the pad of her paw ripped off part of the way.  She was fine when we picked her up after vacation, but then the next day she was hopping around and wouldn’t put any weight on her paw.  So I called the vet but they were booked up until today.  So for the last two days she’s had to hop around on three legs.  Poor baby.  So one vet visit and $300 later (yikes!) here we are with some pain killers and bandages.  We have to keep her paw wrapped up and give her some meds for the pain and to prevent infection. 

She’s not a happy camper- she hates going to the vet.

When we got home from the vet I was sooo hungry.  Anabelle took a nap because her pain killers were kicking in and I made some lunch.

Leftover taco soup with a couple of tortilla chips crumbled up on top, pepperjack cheese, and a dollop of greek yogurt.  Yum!

Taco soup is so easy to make and the leftovers are even better!

Then it was on to the eye drs to get my glasses adjusted then back home to check on the girls.  Anabelle is still drugged out (lol), and Harley can’t figure out what the bandages on Anabelle’s paw are so she keeps looking at them and howling.  Nonstop.

I’m about to start working on dinner- crockpot lasagna!!  Can’t wait! 

Adios!
