Questions of the Day: 

What are your weekend plans? 

What should I get for dessert tomorrow?

Dogs: A girl's worst enemy

Today while I was running I thought to myself... Hmmm I wonder what I should write my blog about today, and it couldn't of been more than a minute later when I started coming up on a man walking a beautiful German Shepherd. He must of heard me breathing, because he looked back and immediately yanked the dog's leash and not walked, but sprinted off the side walk. When he did that I thought... he didn't need to do that, I could of just ran around him. Well, it didn't take long for me to realize why he sprinted off the side walk... When I ran, by the pretty German Shepherd turned into a huge vicious lion. It jumped into the air, and tried to yank the leash out of the guys hand. Lucky for me the guy was pretty huge himself, so he pulled the lion back when it was in mid air. I swear I saw a flash of my obituary in the newspaper... it said something like 20 YEAR OLD RUNNER GETS EATEN BY A GERMAN SHEPHERD. Not to mention my heart felt like it was about to explode out of my body, because it was beating so fast.... I definitely got a good "workout" in this afternoon.

Just in case you didn't already know.... I am deathly afraid of dogs! I have had a handful of things happen in my life that contributed to my fear of dogs.

1. When I was little my family had this killer dog that bit people, and one time it pushed me into a ditch... with snakes!!

2. One time this lady was walking her dog with one of those retractable leashes. Well her dog started running towards me, and the leash nearly cut my circulation off.

3. One time I was riding my bike in my neighborhood... Minding my own business, and a Golden Retriever came out of no where and bit my leg! The owner called my house 30 minutes later telling me not to worry the dog had got its shots recently..... (Oh phew feel free to bite me again then....??)

4. I always have dogs coming up to me when I run. They like to make circles around me, and bark until I pee in my pants..... (I don't really pee in my pants, I promise)

5. My own dog pushed me into a flower bed when I was like five. (See picture below.)

I have had people say to me, Oh you wouldn't be afraid of my poodle... It is so cute and small. My answer to them is... Yes you're right, I wouldn't be afraid. But, I would hate your annoying little yapping dog that licks peoples legs.  I like to call those kind of dogs, kick me dogs. So, yah don't invite me over if you have a little dog.... Just Kidding! I won't kick your dog I promise. But seriously, don't try to feed me any food because your dogs hair is probably in it! 

So, as you can see I am more of a cat person! BTW Mommy, I know you are reading this. Is Shelby (my cat) still alive?? ......

Okay, you caught me I really don't like animals at all....

FOOD OF THE DAY

I was trying to get every last bit of peanut butter out of the jar, so I had to use my fingers.... 

Question of the Day: Do you try to get every last bit of peanut butter out of the jar, or do you just throw it away? If you do, how do you manage to get it all out? 

I was having a tough time with a knife, but my fingers sure worked some magic ;)

Are you a dog person or cat person?

Peanut Butter for Life!

If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life what would it be?

Mine would be Peanut Butter!

I enjoy peanut butter in and on so many things:

1. Peanut butter, banana, honey, & cinnamon sandwich

2. Cat Cookies dipped in peanut butter

3. Graham crackers covered with peanut butter

4. Banana with peanut butter

5. Apple dipped in peanut butter

6. Waffles with peanut butter

7. Reese's peanut butter cups on my yogurt... it counts okay!

8. Peanut butter in my smoothies

9. Peanut butter in cookies

10. Pretzels dipped in peanut butter

11. Peanut butter on smores

12. Peanut butter in puppy chow

13. Peanut butter on a spoon

The list could go on and on, but you get the picture... Peanut Butter makes everything taste good!

I always have all different brands and flavors in my pantry (see above picture). I also have two more kinds that I keep at Matt's, for when he cooks something nasty. I just smoother whatever it is with peanut butter to make it taste good..... Just Kidding!

Matt is a fabulous cook. He didn't have work today, so he cooked for me and did the dishes! I think i've found a winner ;) 

Tonight was healthy Salmon night. He even bought the expensive Wild Salmon! We both decided that it was definitely worth the extra money. It has less of a fishy taste, and it's a lot tougher. 

Tomorrow is NACHO NIGHT! I have been craving nachos since... well... last Wednesday :)

Question #2: How do you like to eat your peanut butter?

Is it time to hang my spikes up?

I wanted to share with y'all something that truly means a lot to me! I decided to record my blog for today, because I think the message will have more meaning if you can hear my voice rather than just reading what I have to say. I also wanted to use my new recorder. I hope you all enjoy it! :)

Question of the Day: Did you like the audio blog? Should I do more?

Don't Stress.... order a "Happy Bee" Sandwich

I woke up at 6:04 this lovely Sunday morning thanks to my personal alarm clock.... my mind! Who freakin' wakes up that early on a Sunday?! 

Last night before I went to sleep I started thinking about all the things that I needed to accomplish today. Clean my room, do laundry, finish my math homework, go to the store, study for two tests, oh and stalk blogs ;) Once I started listing everything out I became extremely stressed, so I pretty much told my mind that I better wake up early in the morning because my list of things to do is extremely long! I hate when I do that, because when I said I wanted to wake up early I did not mean 6 A.M.... But, once I was up and my mind started going there was no way I was falling back asleep. I immediately jumped out of bed, and started crossing things off my list! 

If I could change one thing about myself, I would change how easily I get stressed. Have you ever sat and complained about everything you had to do, or said there was absolutely not enough hours in the day to accomplish everything? I do this all the time, and in reality if I used the time, that I sat and wasted complaining about everything, to actually start what needed to be done I probably would of finished it. But, that's easier said than done. Sometimes I just can't sacrifice my facebook time, snack time. or blog time with something productive.... You know what I'm talking about... we have all done it! I just feel like those are activities that keep me sane! 

Anyways, point is I really have to start working on this stress issue. Tonight Matt asked me, "So what do you have to do tonight," and I think I screamed back to him and started listing out everything.... Lesson learned: Do not list everything out... it only makes matters worst! Seriously though, being stressed does not solve anything!! -- I am telling myself this right now too!

FOOD OF THE DAY:

Matt and I went to our favorite local restaurant again! This time they made the "Happy Bee Sandwich" on the correct bread! It was delicious as always, but lets be honest how could a peanut butter, honey, banana, and cinnamon sandwich be anything but delicious!

P.S I now know why my pictures stink compared to all you other blogger's pictures.... 

1. My camera is ancient

2. Matt gets extremely embarrassed when I pull my camera out and start taking pictures of my food! I tried to tell him that no one was watching, but he insisted that I only take one. 

CONGRATS TO MY MOMMY! SHE RAN HER FIRST 1/2 MARATHON THIS MORNING!

She ran an amazing time, and even negative splitted :0

I am so proud of her! Now time for a marathon....

Question of the Day: Do you stress out a lot when it comes to school or work? How do you handle your stress?

Question #2: Do y'all get emails when I comment back to you? I really don't like having my comments like this, but the other way kept messing up! 

We're Feeling good, we're feeling alright, yeah...

I WANT TO GO TO A REBELUTION CONCERT SOO BAD!

Listen to the song HERE!

But, I missed two perfect opportunities... they were in Dallas yesterday and Austin tonight! :(

Anyways, listen to it and tell me what ya think... I feel like I can relate the song "Feeling Alright" to my life right now.

"Well it's a struggle, every day we're stressing
What's a life without dedication
I'm, I'm trying to pick up that soul's intention to soak in music relaxation
We're Feeling good, we're feeling alright, yeah"

I feel like in our world today people are constantly stressed out about something, and this is not the way to live our life's! Sometimes we need to just step back, and relax.... At the end of the day it doesn't matter what grade you make on a test, who makes the most money, or who has the nicest clothes. It is only important to live each and everyday to the fullest!

FOOD OF THE DAY:

 Matt and I went to Yogurtland last night after Pei Wei. I was so excited because they had their new flavor Devil's Food Cupcake Batter! So, I got that kind, Peanut Butter, and Red Velvet Cupcake Batter. Then I added the toppings (the best part) reese's, brownies, and cookie dough! 

I <3 Frozen Yogurt!!

Question of the Day: Do you ever get sudden dessert cravings, and have to fulfill them immediately or someone may get hurt.....?

Yesterday was one of those days for me. I was craving ice cream really bad. I begged Matt for like 5 minutes to get Yogurt Land, and then he eventually caved in and granted my wish ;)

FREE FOOD!

Today on my run I decided to play "Sweet & Sour." (You know the game that we all played in elementary school on the bus on the way to field trips... yah that one!)  

Side Note: One time a kid in my class held up a piece of paper that said "HELP US", and the car behind the bus called 911 because he thought we all got kidnapped or something... The kid ended up getting suspended, but I personally think it was totally worth it.... It was hilarious!   


Anyways, the game was really fun and totally made the time fly by until I ran by a group of core guys. I got like 15 "Howdys" in a matter of 5 seconds, and at that point the game was no longer fun! I may be a Texas girl, but I am sorry I will not be caught dead saying HOWDY! I always walk with my head down around campus when I see a core guy, because as soon as you make eye contact with one of them you are bound to get a howdy. I always just smile, and say HELLO back. I am sure it makes them mad... oh well!

I am not bashing on core guys I promise. Just the howdy part ;) Once in my geology lab I had a really nice core guy as my partner. I played dumb on the first day, so he would identify all the rocks for me and it worked....Sucker!

Ok, back to the game... I was shocked at how many "sour" people there are out there. I would smile and give a little head nob to everyone that I passed, but I got a whole lot of nothing in return. Even the College Station cop ignored me.... Well, I guess I can't say I was too shocked about that one. They love giving perfect law abiding citizens tickets the one time they screw up... Grrrr. 

I plan on playing this game again, so I will let ya know if people get "Sweeter" or "Sourer" (Is that even a word? Oh well it is now!)

Question of the Day: Do you like "Sweet" or "Sour" candy better? 

I was going to say sweet without a doubt, but those sour patch kids are looking mighty good.... 

My apartment was giving away FREE food today in the clubhouse, but you would of thought they were giving away a million dollars. It is amazing how excited college kids get when they hear the word FREE, and the word FOOD was just an added bonus! The line was out the door just to get pizza from like Cici's... who even likes Cici's?? Well I do like their dessert pizza, but that's about it.

I did learn something while watching the mob of people.... Maybe I should start advertising my blog by saying, "IF YOU FOLLOW MY BLOG I WILL GIVE YOU FREE FOOD." 

P.S I had some yummy dessert tonight, I will post a picture of it tomorrow. I promise :) Oh and Matt and I's date night to Village Cafe didn't quite work out... We drove all the way there to find out they were throwing a private party, so it was closed to the public! I was starving at that point, so I wanted to tell the man look it ain't no party without me.... Just Kidding... Matt would of died. We ended up going to Pei Wei, and we plan on going back to Village Cafe on Sunday. If they even think about throwing another private party, I WILL give them a little piece of my mind ;)

ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND EVERYBODY!
