It’s Friday!  Today has been sort of thrilling, in the most mundane sort of way.  I think I get excited about things that normal people do not?  For example, when Nikki told me there was froyo near her apartment last weekend the husband had to tell me to calm down so I wouldn’t hyperventilate and pass out 😀

I waited too long to eat breakfast at home this morning (so no cereal), but wanted something super filling to get me through to the afternoon (so not a bar).  What to do?  Brinner – only this time it means dinner for breakfast, not breakfast for dinner.

I ate a serving of leftover lemony zucchini seitan pasta on the ride too school.  It’s not less healthy to have pasta for breakfast and pancakes for dinner than it is to eat the reverse, and it can be a lot of fun.

The husband dropped me off early enough that I had some time to work before class.  The food court was open so I took the opportunity to buy some fresh fruit to munch while I read.

Whenever I buy grapes to eat at home they invariably go bad, but when they are in mixed fruit bowls I always gobble them up.

After class was finished I slapped on my sunglasses (polarized, bug-eyed) and spritzed on some sunblock (70spf).  The husband dropped me off this morning (instead of me dropping him off) so that I could walk home!  The BSC campus is only 2.5miles from our current apartment and since I love to walk it seemed like the perfect plan.  I wouldn’t walk everyday (I’m trying to be a little gentle on my leg) but with my heavy bags it felt like a work out and it was a lot of fun!

I stopped midway at the Co-op to pick up a couple fun items but other than that I tried to keep up a pretty fast clip.  I did slow for a couple of blocks to eat my snack though.  1 serving of s.s. sea salt Somersaults.

Holy yum!  Can you picture the sesame pieces that come in a lot of the crappier trail mixes?  I have a minor obsession with them.  They are the only item with trans fat that I still knowingly eat and often if there’s a day I don’t blog my hand has found it’s way into a bag of them.  Well this variety of Somersaults tastes just like those little devils.  And with no trans fat.  I think I’m in ❤.  Note – only two of the Somersault flavors are vegan, but the ingredients are clearly marked so if you are doing the challenge with us just be sure to check the label.

I still haven’t actually managed to eat lunch.  When I got home I got totally distracted doing some school business and looking over the info for my online class next month.  We are going to a BBQ this evening, a most likely non-vegan-friendly event, so I’ll be eating an early dinner.

What are some of the silly things that you get excited about?  My (very, very long) list includes bubbles, diet coke, ruffles, and straws.
