LAST DAY OF FREEDOM!

UGH back to work tomorrow!! Those 13 days sure flew by, I hate how 13 days go by with a blink of an eye and 1 hour at work can seem like 13 days!! What is that?!?!? lol anyhow back to my eats of today, since yesterday I kinda bummed out ;)

This morning I was up and at em around 8:15, I started making coffee and decided on the eats of the morning. I had my usual bowl of cereal (Fiber One Oat Clusters with Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze, cinnamon, and a banana) and a big cup of coffee that I could not finish I was off to the gym before 10 since I needed gas too. I did about a half hour on the treadmill and some weights, I was in a hurry since we had lots to do today! I came home and showered, got ready and was off to the supermarket. Let me tell you they must have been giving food away and we missed it because the store was PACKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had to drive all around for a couple minutes before finding a spot. IT WAS NUTS!!!!! We ran around as fast as we could just so we could get out of there, which makes me sad since I like to look for new things and take my time. Once home we were starving so I had tuna (leftovers from last nights dinner out) which I made into a tuna sandwich with reduced fat mayo on a sandwich thin with pickles and some pretzels. I also had a cookie after waiting for my brother to come over so we could go to the outlets near our house. We walked around and the boys bought a few things, I was sad because I could not find anything I wanted! So then I decided I wanted a new watch and they have a fossil outlet there so we went in and I found one for 40 bux!! So I used my Visa gift card from Joe and bought it :-D We then came home and relaxed for a few, Adam started cooking and I cleaned up a bit around the apartment. We had a salad with some chicken parm and pasta. YUM!! I also had a very small glass of Pinot Grigio. It totally hit the spot, it was nice to have a quiet meal at home. We were going to do it last night but had no energy to go food shopping and cook. So after trying 5 restaurants we got some dinner out ;)I just made some microwave cake that I've made a few times before. I had a few BIG bites while typing up addresses into the computer so we have them for the Save The Date cards we need to send out soon!

Well I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

Do you have any fun plans for the week?

I think we might be meeting with the minister this week!

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!!!
