HAPPY BELATED VALENTINE'S DAY!

Hi Guys!

I hope you all had a wonderful day yesterday :) Mine was a busy one to start out with! We were up early... even earlier than we needed to be :( Once again I can't sleep a full night! ugh! We got ready and were out the door by 8:15 to get gas and some DD's for the ride. I had a medium Hazelnut coffee with skim milk and an equal. I had a bite of Adam's bacon egg and cheese but my breakie was a yoplait cherry cobbler, some cereal and a couple of pieces of a pear I cut up(I forgot the pic of this opps) We missed the bowling alley 3 times and were driving around New Brunswick for awhile. It was too funny!! We still got there earlier and found my family right away. This bowling alley has 82 lanes which I think is nuts! When I bowled there the first time my Freshman year of HS I was in awe.. haha I'm such a dork!!! Poor Manasquan didn't do too well, but it looked like the boys were enjoying themselves anyway so that is all that matters! The tournament was over by 12 and were drove over to Menlo Park mall to wander around. In the car once we got there I had a Clif Pumpkin Pie bar, these are the best flavor by far!!! :-D I also chugged a bottle of water since the bowling alley was so freaking hot! We had fun walking around the mall and left around 2ish to come home and hang out for a bit.

Once home I snacked on some random things I seriously don't even remember except for some grapes.. hahah I then had a slight breakdown... I have a 4 day break but have a bunch of things to do with work/wedding/cleaning the apt. and just got upset. I was just being a bit dramatic but I really can't wait for our honeymoon where I don't have to think about anything except laying out by the pool (ok so I know that is so not me and I'll be out exploring the whole time! I can't sit still too long at all) lol

We then ordered out Vday pizza from the pizza place my brother works at. We got large pie half (mine) with peppers and mushrooms and Adam's half with pepperoni and sausage. He also got a pasta e fagioli. I had a few spoonfuls of the soup and a piece of my pizza and 2 huge bites of Adam's. I was so full, my belly was just weird yesterday I never got hungry. That is so unlike me. I got my lesson plans done for next week and we looked up a few things online then got to playing some super mario brothers on wii and had a few beers. I had a Blue Moon with an orange slice and then half a Miller Lite.(unpictured) Since it was Vday and I just had to have some chocolate I had 3 peanut mms and made Adam some random chocolate covered fruits. I was antsy to do something once we were done with the video games.. I had half a banana which I melted chocolate done and attempted to roll the naner in. I also put a couple of dried apricots in there for the extra chocolate. I def licked my fingers once or twice ;) hehe Adam decided to take pictures of me when I was playing with the chocolate. They didn't come out so well.. here's the best one ;)

How was your Vday? I have to say I was never one to make a big deal out of it. I think it is way too commercialized... Its really just another day to me.. but it does give me a "reason" to eat more chocolate ;)

Holy Blizzard Batman!!

So I just looked out the window about a half hour ago and there was a snow storm going on out there!!!! The Jersey Shore rarely ever gets snow so I'm pretty excited :-D

Sorry I didn't come back last night, by the time I got home it was already 7:30 and Adam was going to bed soon so I spent some time with him, then just vegged on the couch in my food coma :-p

Dinner last night was breaded/baked chicken (this is Joe's fav and mine too!) so easy and simple but so tasty. I had mine with a sweet potato, green beans and some stove top stuffing.. MMMM

We relaxed for a few (me and mom looked at wedding dresses) and then did the bday thing. I can't believe my baby brother is 18!!!! The year he was born was a tough one.. My dad had lost his job, and with in 2 months and 12 hours my 2 grandfathers died. Oh and my mom had cancer and couldn't have surgery until after she had Joe. My mom's father died right before Christmas which threw my mom into premature labor. 2.5 months early and also it was Christmas morning. They held her off for 5 more days, but early 12/30/90 Joe was born. He was a tiny one, but pretty healthy for being so early. Now look at him!!!!!!!!! He's 6'2 and 200 lbs! Where did he come from?!? No one knows.. hahah except that we look so much alike and just like our mom ;)

Onto today! Sorry for rambling... lol

This morning I was up bright and early for a day off to go to the DMV with Joe to get his "real" license since you get a provisional license for a year first. We picked up Dunkin Donuts on the way, my treat since I have so many gift cards!! I got a hazelnut coffee with skim milk and had a Pear Strudel Cliff bar in the car. I have to say this one wasn't my favorite, the pumpkin one is the winner in my book ;)

I came home and watched some tv then was off to the gym, I did 2.5 miles and some weights. I came home and vegged on the couch, did some crunches and found out we were in the local paper for our engagement!!!! I'm very excited, it said that it could take up to 6 weeks and I just submitted it on Saturday!

I then got in the shower and made some lunch, a tuna sandwich on an Arnold Whole Wheat sandwich thin, with pickles and some Rold Gold Honey Wheat pretzels on the side. I also had some Crystal Light to drink, must hydrate for tonight!!!!!! I then snacked on a few more cookies that I had baked and now I'm enjoying some Bridezillas until Adam gets home.

We are going out to dinner tonight at http://www.szechuantokyonj.com/restaurantweb/499/015/jin_e/ They have very tasty sushi and Adam loves their Chinese food. We are then going to my friends apartment, the one who lives a few doors down. I baked cookies and we are bringing some beer. It should be a very interesting night! HAHA I will definitely have some pictures tomorrow ;) Since I won't make it back before tomorrow have a safe and happy New Years!!!
