Oh Man.  Today has been quite the day (and it’s not even over!).  I am flying to Ohio early tomorrow morning to celebrate my grandmother’s 80th birthday.  I knew I had a ton to do, so the plan was to get up super early, but when your husband is in medical school and studying for a big test until 2am sometimes things don’t pan out.

I ended up getting out of bed at 9:30, whoops!  I skipped another gym session but I am not going to beat myself up about it.  I was super sluggish and out if it so it took me a while to get going but I managed to pull it together and make breakfast.

Half a piece of Naan with pb and Crofter’s Superfruit Spread.

Then I threw on a new sweater and headed to Wegmans.

The plan was just to buy my baking stuff but I ended up getting items for next week too.  Like this –

Eek!  I’ve been so jealous when other bloggers have eaten this, thank goodness it’s finally made it to Buffalo.  Now if only we had pumpkin Stoneyfield!

After I put the groceries away it was time to head back out to, this time to the doctor’s office.  My foot is 90% better but I have one stubborn wort left.  I went straight to school from there and studied Chemistry until class.  I was dying of hunger by the time I got there.

I was majorly craving fries, so I got some!

Along with a spicy chicken sandwich that was sadly unspicy.

During my meal the regional manager came up to hit on me talk to me and I ended up getting some free coupons.  I don’t eat at Burger King very often but free food is always exciting!

Lab went very well.  I got a quiz back that was a 100% and the experiment went very quickly.  I ended up staying until 9 anyway to work on the post-lab; I am 99.9% finished for next week!

When I got home at 9:45 I was kind of starting to lose it (the doctor froze my remaining wort today and at that point the pain was about an 8).  Poor, poor Adam.  I tend to get a little punch-drunk when I’m tired and the giggles were out in full swing!  He was totally sweet though and helped me with my baking.

I am bringing Cheesecake-Filled Pumpkin Cupcakes (from October Everyday with Rachael Ray) with me to Ohio.  I followed the recipe (except I used evoo instead of vegetable oil, and cut the amount to 1/4C) but decided to skip the frosting.  They have a fricking cream cheese layer, it seemed unnecessary.

While we baked we finally opened the beer I’ve been saving all month.

Southern Tier is a favorite, and Pumpking is handsdown the best pumpkin beer!  I had about 1/3.

We had to walk hobble to the bank and now we finally are going to watch this week’s episode of House “It’s The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brow.”  Dinner kind of never happened.  Except sort of, I guess, when I ate this “cupcake” of baked extra cream cheese filling.

YUM!  I actually still have packing to do (at 1am!) so I should hop to it!  Sweet dreams everyone!
