"I'm gonna have to drink a lot of coffee to keep up with you two."

Sherry (Christopher's wife) says this to Rory and Lorelai. Needless to say I had coffeeS this morning! Except I have to keep up with my professors at 8AM!


Hello everyone! I just got done taking my BIO test and it went WELL! I am not sure if I made an A, but I do know that I think that those 6+Hours of studying payed off! (which is always good!)

Since the last time we talked (feels like ages ago), I have eaten the Peanut Butter Cookie Larabar and the Chocolate Cherry Jocolat Larabar.

PBC Larabar: It was really good with a stellar peanut-y taste. However, I am not sure if I would purchase this particular flavor again. Why? As you break off each piece your fingers get coated in oil. Now I know that this is all 100% healthy fats, but it still is not very appetizing or practical for on the go eating. C or A if you do not mind having greasy fingers!

Chocolate Cherry Jocolat Larabar: This bar tastes like a moister (is that a word? lol....now it is) and slightly more natural version of the Almond Brownie Balance Bar that I reviewed a few weeks back.......with a prevalent cherry kick! WOULD definitely buy again! A+

I also had some of the Kashi Vanilla Cereal that I pictured about 2 posts back and it was delish with a subtle vanilla sweetness going on! The squares are not as compact as say, post shredded wheat, so they do not have quite the same crunch. I want to try it in milk though because I think it would absorb the milk great and be even better. B+

Ok, well I am about to go get some yummy gelato with Lex! Ill be sure to take a picture because I have been lacking in that dept!

Be back later! Yay for no tests for the rest of the week (not that the hectic-ness of life is gone.....that only happens over vacations! lol)

P.s. There is a "Scheduled Outage" at 4pm tommorrow. Would some lovely blogger care to tell me what that is?

P.p.s. Some of you are wondering how I get all of these samples. Here's the trick:

Just ask!!!!! Email them with a link to your blog and a request and the nice ones (lol) will be more than happy to share their product with the public!

What do you expect?

Hey hey hey! So it's monday (in case, like me, you were blocking that little detail out of your mind) and it's been a loooong day! I had a whole host of good eats today....but the highlight was that Honest Foods Bar I pictured in the earlier post. Holey Guacamole! This thing has a delightful sweetness that I have never tasted before and the perfect chewiness like a fresh baked cookie with oats, raisins and seeds thrown in for some body. I mean the fact that I had a free coupon for this little guy was awesome, but next time I will be digging into my piggy bank because these guys are worth every cent! OK: rant over!

Ok so I lied just now because....I also had a KEVACCINO with Alexa and Kristen which is ALWAYS worth mentioning! :D

AND I got a these two lovely items in my mailbox (and a yellow package slip, which means I have a package to pick up tommorrow.....**smiles**)
Im excited to try the free samples from Starbucks....did anyone else pick up on this offer? Or have you tried it?
And LARABAR generously sent me a sample pack with a cute rubber band! lol I have honestly not tried too many of their flavors and I am psyched! Reviews to come! (Have you tried any of the ones below?....the verdict?)
For dinner tonight I got a salad and a fruit cup! So great and refreshing!

I love ya'll and I wish I could do a review of an interesting article or write up some coolio food science facts; but I have already wasted too much time and need to get studying for a FOUR chapter BIO test I have Wednesday morning....and I haven't started......

It's the Monday after Spring Break......what do you expect?

Second "home"

I made it safe and sound! :D Great driving weather too! I ended up eating animal crackers, cheddar Flip Sides crackers, honey comb cereal, a 22oz QT frozen coffee drink (aka liquid crack) and another diet coke float from sonic! I also ate almost half of a tuna fish sammie with lettuce (I couldnt eat the other half b/c it was tooo messy and hard to eat while driving and fighting off the strong wind!) and half of a not so messy PB&J (more PB, less J).
Alexa's mom packed her lunch......(cue: "awwww") P.S.....my mom would have packed my lunch too (she's cool like that), but I like making my own food when I have the option! Cooking (or even assembling food...haha) is fun! Which, by the way, is why my family loves it when I come home (among other things!) :)

Look at this 7-11 ad we parked by (BAD lighting, I know!)......ummm so when you are hired is that what happens....because I am not sure I want my head & hand to blow up!

Check out this billboard! Love it! (minus the lovely pole....thanks Lex! haha just kiddin'!)

I ate this sometime at home and it's really bad lighting BUT I wanted you to see my other GG mug!

Once we were home and done unpacking it was 6:00 and I was hungggrrrryy! So off to the fancy grocery store (aka....GOOD food options!) we went! I got some brown rice veggie sushi! YUM! It had advocado, cucs and carrot! Totally hit the spot and very filling (from all the rice and healthy fats!). When I came home I ate all of my dried pineapple (it was not very much...sad it's gone!) and now Im off to study, prepare for tommorrow and wait for the roomie to get home!

I will catch up with all of your lovely blogs tonight or tomm sometime! Keep commenting though! I love reading them!

QUICK RECAP

I figured you should say bye to these CUTIES! :( My mom and I went to the grocery store yesterday to STOCK UP! We got some candy from the bulk bins and my mom thought it should be featured (hint: the jelly belly bag on top of my cereal!)
The Animal Crackers and Honey Comb are for Alexa and I to snack on in the car!
The PB&Co was on sale for about the same price as the rest of the PB, so I snatched it up! And 2 new bars to try!! :D


Some old and some new! (That Kashi cereal is definitely new and Im psyched to try it!)
SNOW PEAS! "Energy Bites" and dried pineapple bits!
Dates.....I found them!
One of my many snacks last night! (Those straws are not that good!)
FRUIT...I was too lazy to take it all out of the bags!
Brunch....Cinnamon sugar toast and egg with Mozzarella CHEESE! (+ a BANANA!)

Im in love! :D



Time to go get a pedicure with my mom and then we are having a "game day" with my bro, his girlfriend, my mom and possibly alexa! I see sequence in our future!! Tommorrow I hit thee road at 7:30!! eeek!

I just got a DIET COKE FLOAT from sonic! HOLY MOLEY YUM! This is my new favorite thing! Soft serve ice cream and diet coke, together at last! :D TRY IT!!
