My goal for today is to get in bed before 10pm.  I have to shower, pack for tomorrow, look over some notecards, and write this blog post.  Go!

My meetings went well this afternoon and I went to my final class of the semester.  All I have tomorrow is labs, with exams and presentations, and then next week is finals.  This semester feels like it flew by, I can’t belive it’s almost Christmas!

In my break I read Organic in the cafe in our bookstore.  I ate a spicy chicken flatbread from the cafe.

These sandwiches are so good!  When I eat while studying I like to use bites to break up the pages, but with these I end up basically shoveling them in.  I go to set the sandwich down and I just can’t bear it!

Then I had a date with the treadmill –

• 2mile run (19.08minutes), I had to take a few quick breaks but my time is getting faster!
• 11minutes brisk walking on a slight incline with my notecards

Finally, I went to the quickest lab check-out ever; I was in and out in under 5minutes!  I did stick around long enough to learn that my lab grade ended up being a 100.25%!  Our lab grade gets averaged into our class grade and I definitely need those points 🙂

The husband picked me up from school because we had a date at Sweet Tooth to use up a Groupon.  I had my heart set on peppermint ice cream – I can’t find it anywhere! – but sadly that wasn’t available.  We ended up getting a fun array of goodies though.

Tonight’s selection –

I ate three big bites of this pistachio cheesecake, which was divine.

And three small bites of this cannoli, which was soggy and weird.

I’m excited to taste our other purchases tomorrow.

I realize that I ended up skipping either dinner or lunch (depending on how you look at it, but I only had two meals today) and I am actually a bit hungry, but I think my healthiest option for the evening is honoring my bedtime goal.  Good thing I’m excited about tomorrow’s breakfast!

Have you found peppermint (or eggnog!) ice cream in your area this year?
