this morning
Breakfast:
I woke up a little earlier this morning and had some more time to relax. I read some blogs, pinterest-ed, read the news, and talked to my roommates. Breakfast was a simple affair. Coffee, 2 slices of the gluten free pumpkin bread I made yesterday, and some pistachios. Seriously, my love affair with pistachios grows stronger every day.
Lunch:
After breakfast, I headed to class. This morning was Spanish followed by Physics. Phsyics passes soooooo slowly y’all. It’s 50 minutes of torture. Ugh. But– lunch afterwards is a light at the end of the tunnel!
Today I changed it up slightly– salad followed by some vegan ratatouille which I topped with some pesto {that I had to drain because it was 75% oil..}. Turned out to be a pretty delicious lunch!
On a more somber note- today is the 30th anniversary of the Beirut Barracks Bombings on the U.S. Marine Corps. My dad, a member of the Navy was actually there that day, on one of the planes attempting to abate the attacks. It is a sad and solemn day–the deadliest single-day death toll for the United States Marine Corps since World War II‘s Battle of Iwo Jima.
You can read more about it here and here.
inspiration:
eat, pray, and work it out. 
Oh my gosh, those Brookside chocolate pomegranate treats are indeed addictive, I admire your willpower at putting them away. One of my sons loves them so I get them for him and try to forget about their existence.
haha they are seriously so hard to stop eating! I have already eaten more of the bag than I want to admit!
