The Big 4 Month Mark

Good morning everyone! Sorry about the lack of post last night. I came home to internet so slow I couldn't actually do anything. Eric called Verizon and fixed it around 9, but by then it was bedtime :) I think he was scared by the fact that with American Idol not on until 9 (that was annoying) and no internet, I decided to clean the kitchen. haha.

My great news of yesterday? Another round of parent conferences are over. That's a whopping 4 years of parent conferences done and done. Doesn't really sound like much when there are teachers at my school who have been there for 30 + years, but that first year teaching it's so hard to picture a day when you won't be about to pee your pants at the thought of a conference with a parent. But it comes...thank goodness :)

Yesterday I hit up Healthworks for a 6 am Core class (15 minutes of ab work, whoa hoo), followed by 45 minutes of Urban Rebounding (aka jumping on the trampoline). Don't worry I did not speak the whole class haha. I have to admit I was a little scared of dealing with the locker room post work out. I was planning to shower and get ready there, and let's just say I came across this article about how Healthworks Cambridge is the nudist capital of Boston. Ah! I am happy to report though, that early on Wednesday mornings this is not the case and I actually thought it was bordering on less-nude than other locker rooms I've been in! Yay!

On Sunday I asked you guys for a good breakfast to eat at work post-morning work out. A lot of people mentioned oatmeal and it got me thinking that I used to eat my oatmeal at work every morning, so why not bring that back?

I went for old fashioned oats, mixed with peanut butter and banana. Normally I am not a big fan of the peanut butter oats. But this time I added the peanut butter and continued to microwave the oats for a little longer so the delicious peanut butter taste spread more.

Yum.
Speaking of yum, I went to my parents for dinner last night which is always yum. My picture came out a little dark, but we had...

Turkey, stuffed mushrooms and not mashed potato but mashed celery root...who knew? Celery root had a very similar texture to potato, but a completely different taste and smell. It was good though.

While at my parents, I realized that yesterday was 4 months until my wedding. Yikes. Minor freak out. Big goals for the next couple of weeks include cake tasting, buying shoes (must be pink), editing guest list to include what I want on inside vs. outside envelope and possibly my first dress fitting since I think my dress is scheduled to come in any day now :) Lets hope I get some of this done!

Anyway, I have to get to work quick, but I'm planning to post tonight so check back and have an great day- it's almost Friday!
