We’re All Winners Here

I got my baby back, and I don’t mean ribs!  It feels so good to have my laptop back 😀  Although things aren’t quite back  to normal……I’m blogging from Ohio! 

The weekend worked with everyone’s schedules so we drove down to visit our in-laws and niece.

I was running around all morning like a crazy person trying to get things ready for our last-minute visit.  Packing, loads of dishes, clearing out the trash, and more.  I was so busy I didn’t even have time to eat.  Reason #12679459 why I probably shouldn’t be a healthy living blogger – I didn’t have time to eat, but I did make time for this –

And time to set up to take a picture with my chin.

Priorities, people!

I came home in between classes this morning to pack, and thank goodness because this was on my doorstep –

Did you know I won a case of Chobani?  If not you should probably start following me on Twitter.  We had to write an ode to our favorite flavor and I cinched the win with this bit of prose –

I’m so excited to taste so many new (to me) flavors!

Adam picked me up from class this afternoon and we got on the road right away.  The stretch of highway between here and Michael’s house is positively barren foodwise but I finally accepted that it would be McDonald’s or nothing.  Thankfully I remembered that their salads are actually not bad.

I got the Southwest salad with grilled chicken and was totally pleased.

My late lunch held me over well and I’m glad I didn’t wait any longer or I would have gnawed my arm off by dinner time.

The plan was to see a movie tonight so dinner came from a mall food court.  I ended up managing to find a pretty nice little natural burger spot.

I ordered a non-cow (veggie) burger with pickles and bbq sauce.

Nothing gourmet, but it was the best food court meal I’ve ever had.  The pickles were thick cut and fantastically crunchy.

During the movie Adam and I split this box of Crazy Core Skittles.

And the movie?  We saw “Skyline” which I can only describe in one word – no.  Just no, it was baaaaaaaad, please don’t subject yourself to it!

Finally, the winners of my Terra giveaway, via a random integer generator –

Congrats to Paige (#1), Monica (#12), Erin (#23), Katie (#24), and Kristy (#27).  E-mail me (emilyhwaxATgmail.com) with your address guys!

I’m so glad to be back blogging! ❤

  1. Skyline looks like a cross between Independence Day and Godzilla. Sorry it sucked.
    Congrats on your emerging career as a poet! Perhaps a rhyming post ala Mama Pea is in your future?
