I realize it’s a bit ridiculous that I’m blogging – let alone awake – at 1am, but I’m hoping this well serve as a ‘final shut down’ activity for my brain.  We got home late and I got into a homework productivity groove that I didn’t want to abandon for sleep.  After a solid 3weeks of slacking in my classes I’m ready to dive into the books again 🙂

I abhor when bloggers discuss their lady business online, but I need to mention mine to address the hungry beast issue.  I was starving again today.  After the 8th-million time I mentioned this to the husband he expressed some concern; both for my health and my ever-expanding-ass.  When I defended my hunger (No, it’s not just that I think it’s funny to see whether or not you’ll still love me if I get fat.  Yes I’m really really hungry.  No I really ate people food today, not just popcorn.  No I don’t have kidney disorder, stop being such a medical student!) I realized we had the same conversation last month.  And roughly the same time the month before that.  So, the point of that rambling paragraph was to share my hypothesis that my hunger spike is related to my cycle.  And now I’m ending the lady business discussion.

Breakfast was 1cup Kashi H2H with fresh raspberries.

I added a couple shakes from our cinnamon-sugar duck to keep things interesting.

And yes, I did use skim milk, I just wanted to snap a dry shot first.

Within 20minutes of breakfast I ate a salt water taffy.

<begin day-long snackage here>  And the last serving of TJ’s Gummy Tummies.

And the last of the lemon curd (~2-3T) with some Biscoffs.

The lemon + gingersnap combo sort of rocks my socks, I have several awesome dessert recipes whirling ’round my head.

I picked the husband up before class and stopped at Starbucks in an attempt to go green(x2).

For Tax Day Starbucks was giving free coffee to anyone who brought in their own mug.

Great idea in theory, not so great in practice – I spat out my one and only sip more quickly than you can imagine.  I am usually not a Starbucks hater but this was nasty bitter.  Thankfully the amazing array of snacks now available at the counter more than makes up for bad free coffee.  I snagged a package of Sahale BBQ Almonds to eat during Anthro.

Mmmn.  I adore Sahale Snacks, I haven’t bought them in ages but I mentally added them to next week’s grocery list upon my first tasty bite.

In between classes I ran some errands around campus with the husband.  Our travels to the copy shop led to the discovery of an adorable Japanese spot.

Bubble tea on campus?!?!  I’m not sure if it’s a good or a bad thing that I didn’t know about this until my 2nd to last week at UB!

Almond flavored milk tea with bobba = huge smile from Emily. 

I’m not really sure if it was lunch or dinner, but at 5pm I split a $5 Footlong with the husband.

My half, tuna with provolone.  Not the healthiest option from Subway by far, but the husband is kind of obsessed with them and they are pretty darn tasty.  Plus they are pretty much the only thing I really eat with mayo and I have one maybe once every few months.

I also snacked on a HUGE marshmallow dream (i.e. rice krispies from Starbucks) bar during Chemistry but it had to go unphotographed.  The boys near me were being rude and loud and I felt bad pulling out a camera with the professor staring at my section.

The reason for our late homecoming is that we had to head to the mall after class.  The husband has a strange obsession with dorky sports (he used to be a championship ping-pong player!) and we had to hit up Dicks so he could buy a myriad of rackets.  I don’t think the man has touched a basketball since high school but he now plays ping-pong, tennis, and squash on a weekly basis!

During my monster homework session (10pm – 1am) I snacked on a big bowl of fresh-cut pineapple.

And that’s all she wrote, sweet dreams folks!

*Note* I hate these long posts and my goal (at least for this weekend) is to go back to 3-a-days.  However, I’ll be at the hospital most of tomorrow for my bone scan so don’t expect to hear from me.  But do wish me luck!  🙂
