Weekend stuff

Hey hey! Time to begin another week. Thanks for all of the well wishes for studying and such. I took my IST (computer class) final yesterday and got a 92%. I’m down with that. Two more finals left until the semester is over!

I want to share my weekend activities (aside from studying) with you!

Friday: I went to school from 11:00-2:00, drove home, walked Lola, hung out with family and watched a Christmas movie on the Hallmark Channel. Hannah (little sister) wanted to play with Jimmy’s hair. It was funny.

Saturday: I woke up around 5:30 because I was having bad dreams. Jimmy and I went downtown in Pittsburgh to the Strip District/Public Market to do some Christmas shopping, Market Square to get coffee, and PPG place to look at the Christmas tree, gingerbread houses, and ice rink. We then went to the Ross Park Mall (so busy), Panera for a late lunch and studying. It was a busy day. At night we headed to my hizzy and watched How to Train a Dragon and made pancakes for dinner. It was cute and I love kids movies!

Downtown Pittsburgh ❤

Sunday: Church + studying + more seafood with mayo!

This week: I have a final on Tuesday and one on Wednesday. I’m hoping to bake some gingerbread men or delish cookies when I’m officially on break.

But for now… I better get back to studying.

Have a great day!

Eats and jams

Hey there. Friday = last day of regular classes for the fall semester of my sophomore year of college. Cool beans!

Time to share some food I have been loving lately:Salmon + mayo. Yes, that probably sounds gross to everyone but Sable, but I really like it! I had this again the other day and added lemon juice and dill to the mayo. It was pretty good!

Well this oatmeal looks pretty boring. It tasted good though.. it was brown sugar and maple flavored. Nom. I also enjoy Kashi oatmeal buuut I don’t usually buy it because #1: it is expensive and #2: my local grocery store doesn’t sell it.

Good old banana bread! I use the Betty Crocker recipe that calls for lots of sugar and butter. Good times ;). Banana bread is good topped with butter or peanut butter. But i’m biased because I think anything is good topped with peanut butter. Seriously.

Split pea soup with ham. Perfect for the cool weather Pittsburgh has been experiencing lately. I think it is pretty cool that Hannah (little sister) likes split pea soup. When I was her age (in 8th grade) I didn’t want to eat anything but Poptarts and Gatorade!

I guess this isn’t really food but I finally whipped out the Christmas mugs! Woo 🙂

Cranberry-orange muffin dough. It was SOUR. Yes I eat raw dough… I haven’t got sick yet.

Cranberry-orange muffins! Huzzah! Fresh out the ovennnnn.

15 bean soup about to boil. Again, perfect for the chilly freezing weather.

Now onto some music I have been into lately! I wish I was one of those people that could study and listen to music at the same time… but I can’t. I get distracted so easily.

Barbara Streisand by Duck Sauce

Well well. That is all I have for today. This weekend will be spent studying and celebrating the holiday season with loved ones. Rock on :D.

Favorite songs/artists lately? [I’m liking the Madagascar soundtrack.. it pumps me up when I run… aka i’m a dork!]

Favorite muffin flavor? [This is so tough… probably pumpkin or lemon poppy seed!]

Do you eat raw dough?! [I have my whole life & I’ve never gotten sick so I continue to eat raw dough.]
