this week was all about getting. shit. done.
long overdue haircut *somehow a 'cleanup trim' became 2+ inch hair loss :( / restocking the makeup stash / catching up over some much needed friend time / midnight pancakes (less of a to-do item as it was amazing) / getting my freckles back during some quality outdoor time

now onto that intimidating and unappealing school to-do list. blech.
(4 more weeks, 4 more weeks....)

thinking of home.

so im trying out this new approach to eating. rather than go all out on three main meals throughout the day (and inevitably one guilty indulgence at the end of the day), i'm going to give the 'snack on smaller meals' philosophy a go. every morning ive been loading up on every combination of luna bars, bananas, sunflower seeds,  sandwiches and TJs fiberful bars (an homage to my beloved fruit leathers of yore) to munch on throughout the day. so far so good!

the good: i don't feel like im going to keel over from hunger around 3:00 anymore, and i actually feel continually satisfied. win!
the bad: the real trick will be learning how to adjust my portions for when i go make something more substantial...fighting 25 years of the 'fill my bowl to the brim regardless of my actual nutritional needs' mentality.
the ugly: all that fiber...

wednesday cable & internet outtage survival kit-hunger games 3! / easter treats / sedar dinner of kosher pickles and macaroons / jenna came to visit!! / finally saw the hunger games movie *waited until i finished the series which i think was better ?! than the book / dupont sightseeing

 bayou sandwich.

                    oh THIS sandwich?                  don't mind if i do                              ...yum...?        

(it was delicious)                                                  

its been so pretty around the district lately *cherry blossoms!
but all these flowers and trees --> pollen --> allergies --> UGH
the whole runny nose, sore throat, itchy eyes, headache thing is awful. i've been blowin through my stockpile of throat drops, allegra, hollistic remedies and motrin and i'm still a sniffling mess.
SO not a fan.
to my fellow tissue hoarding, sneezing, allergy sufferers: WE CAN DO THIS

a quick 2 day in-and-out trip to the big apple for some family biz.
