Learning to Ignore

IMG_1075

I haven’t shown you all my hamster Boo-Boo in a long time! She’s kind of hard to photograph because even though she is the calmest hamster I’ve ever had she still moves a lot. She’s also the biggest hamster I’ve ever had! She’s seriously about the size of my Samsung Galaxy S2 phone!

Boo-Boo is the cutest thing. She loves to have her back scratched and when she gets it she stands rigid and points her tail and doesn’t want you to stop!

Okay enough motherly gloating…

Less Lost

Well oddly enough I managed to have a pretty productive and satisfying day. No, I’m not at all the master of biochemistry…but I feel less lost. ^_^

Breakfast started my day off right with a delicious batch of Kodiak Cakes topped with a little butter, a drizzle of maple syrup and almond butter, and a handful of fresh strawberries. Is it funny that I like my pancakes very thin? They taste better that way. I always have one pancake I prefer in my batch and it’s always the thinnest one. Most likely due to being less doughy and thus less bread like to my mouth. No wonder I love crepes!

Just.Can’t.

Meh. Today has been one of those days where I have a list of things I should be doing but I just can’t bring myself to do any of it…=/ It’s bad. I have 5 more weeks left of school and I can’t bring myself to study!!

This morning I finished of my box of Weetabix with some toasted almonds and dried apricots. I’m going to work on my hot cereal stash for awhile so I have less to move when we find a new apartment in July. Weetabix will be sadly missed!

Next I walked to work and ended up grabbing another short nonfat ristretto 1 pump vanilla, 1 pump mocha, no whip, mocha at Starbucks. I somehow forgot to take a picture though!

Though I really wanted to sleep in today I was up with my alarm before 9am. Joan (my car) had an appointment for an oil change! I felt extremely shaky when I woke up so I didn’t even take a second thought when I threw together this somewhat odd breakfast of Weetabix and trail mix. Yeah…M&M’s in my cereal was a bit different.

2 Year Anniversary {Giveaway}

Oh my goodness! Blueberries and Oats is now 2 whole freaking years old! I can’t believe time has passed that quickly. It feel like just yesterday I was taking photos of yogurt messes in my Dad’s dinning room before running off to general chemistry lectures.

These years have sailed by!

Well for my the first anniversary, I wrote you all a nice post on saying goodbye to dieting and learning to eat intuitively. Go read that again for some insight. ~.^ This year I just wanna give you guys stuff!

I kept finding more and more things I wanted to have in my anniversary giveaway so in the end it’s just a hodge podge of different things! Excited?

Just to be difficult, you have to click to see what you can win! Ha!

Boring

Arg! My throat’s been sore and gunky all day. -_- As odd as it may sound, I’m hoping it’s just allergies and not me coming down with something.  Sorry to say but I had a pretty boring day. Then again, I don’t think I’ve ever riveted any of you with my life so why start now. ~.^

The first thing I did this morning was rush to my computer to submit my add classes form for next year. I tried to add a cooking class but it turned out to be in conflict (by a mere 50 min! Pfft!) with a class I have to take so it was a no. I did however get into the Intuitive Eating and other Philosophies class! I’m soo excited to take it even though I already know the stuff. I feel like I can’t hear the ideas enough.

Then it was business as usually: shower, dress, breakfast! Again, Weetabix, banana, toasted almonds, craisins. My throat really really enjoyed this. I’m out of fresh fruit to put on my cereal though and have no toasted nuts so I may just surprise you all tomorrow by having something different. =P

Same as Yesterday

Quick post because I’ve been spending my evening with Chase and not getting some stuff I need for school done!

Breakfast: Exact same as yesterday! Weetabix, banana, toasted almonds, craisins. I swear I’m going to get back to oatmeal soon but the ice cold milk feels so good on my scratchy allergy throat in the morning.

Monday, Monday

Yay another Monday over with. I am just counting down the weeks until school is out. I’m so ready to be done and have a break from all this go-go-go!

Breakfast was Weetabix, banana, raisins, and toasted almonds. Man I love Weetabix. Seriously, this company needs to make it’s American presence known better! It’s totally a hidden gem.
