Twenty and counting!

In twenty days, I will be gazing upon these two CUTE little faces...
I. Can. Not. Wait. to go home! It's just time, ya know?!

Btw, Hop on over to my favorite schnauzer lovin' bloggie's site and enter her giveaway!

COFFEE TIP for the college student:
So... you are in your little dorm with your little coffee maker, your empty wallet (or sheer will to avoid the on-campus Starbucks), crappy coffee in the dining halls and a travel mug that is not microwavable...How can you make a dorm-made latte that will still be hot when you get to class 5 mintues late?

Simple. Make just enough coffee (I make 2 cups) while you are getting ready. Add milk (I add up to the 3 cup mark...I like it extra creamy...plus more Calcium and protein!) and sweetener of choice (**truvia**). Stir. Place the coffee pot back on the little hot plate for about 5 minutes as you gather your things. Pour into your mug. Go to class. No more luke warm lattes!

Edited to add: Starting Healthy suggested that I buy an insulated mug, which is also another great idea for you guys. However, I have an insulated mug. I just run into problems when I pour 3/4 cup of cold milk into my 2 cups off hot coffee and can't warm it up in my mug!
Microwave egg scramble with frozen broccoli atop burnt....err....extra crispy toast with CHEESE! YUM! :D

I bought Fruity Cherrios the other day at Target...on sale for $1.50. Could I refuse?! I LOVE cereal. Period. "I'll drink it, shoot it, eat it, snort it, whatever form it's in, gimme!" (name that Gilmore Girls Episode!).
Are they good for you? No. Are they bad for you? No.

Would I make it a regular cereal purchase? No. Would I eat it for breakfast? No. Are they tasty? You betcha. Better than candy? Isn't all cereal?! You guys. Pay attention. Luna reformulated their bars and I can tell a huge difference in the taste. If you swore off Luna Bars for their chemical-y, wierd texture/flavor profile, rewind and give them another try!

LUNA Caramel Nut Brownie Bar: Basically...a fudgy chocolate brownie topped with a thin caramel icing...and a nice crispiness added in the textural department thanks to the crisped rice.

You know those brownies that have cheesecake swirled throughout the batter? That is what this reminded me of...with caramel instead of cheesecake. Yum!

Alexa and I got a little crazy and whipped up some Ice Cream Sandwiches last night...with a Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie from Penny's Low Fat Desserts.

We let them sit/harden for a day or so and tonight, straight from the freezer, they were ready to be devoured...

Oh and DEVOUR, we did! MMMMMMMM!
