The early bird gets the worm

I'm up at 6. Where's my WORM! Hmph.

Breakfast time!
Into the oats mix:
  • 1/4 cup oats
  • 1/4 cup water and milk
  • sprinkle of salt
  • raisins
  • goji berries
  • cinnamon
  • vanilla extract
  • coconut flakes 
  • almonds
  • spoonful of crunchy peanut butter
Pretty dang tasty if I say so myself. I miss having time to eat breakfast and blog comfortably. Unfortunately, I didn't get up early to stuff my face and write leisurely; I have to study!

Last night's festivities took place in a beautiful hall. I wasn't able to take pictures of the free flowing champagne and the assortment of hors d'oeurvres being passed around but I did manage to get a few pics of the interior as I was leaving.

The actual room we were in was a beautiful gold and red room with a huge chandelier draping in the middle. Very classy. It was nice to get dolled up in my gold dress and heels since I've been living in gym clothes 24/7 lately!! We mingled a little, ate, drank, and dashed. All I could think about was "the right atrium collects deoxygenated blood from the inferior and superior vena cava, blah blah blah." Gee. When did I get so dull.

Since we weren't full off the passed appetizers.
Bi-Bim-Bap- rice w. veggies, beef, fried egg, sesame oil, and spicy saucee
Sushi set.

And I'm out.

Short and sweet

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.. inside and out (it's been snowing in London for the past couple days).
T got a tree! O'lordie.. All I could think of was "are there bugs in there?" Sure enough, an earwig popped out and started crawling around our floor. Seriously?! Those are the worst. Well.....maybe spiders are the worst. Either way, that's the price you pay for having a real Christmas tree! Good thing it looks nice or else I would have been screaming to get it out get it out!!
Excuuuuse the mess but isn't that a grand tree. Give all the credit to the hubby. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have a tree this Christmas! I've been such a busy bee lately that I haven't stopped much to think about Christmas. It's my favorite season though so better start playing my Mariah Carey and N'Sync christmas tunes. te hehehe :o) :o)

Protein smoothie to tide me over before T's work holiday party. Apparently it's drinks and hors d'oeuvres. I'll have to remind myself not to imbibe in too many beverages since I have two tests tomorrow; one on anatomy & physiology and the other in exercise, fitness and health. EEEK! I can't miss more than 12 questions or else I'll have to retake the test and face the shame and embarrassment. Blergh.
Into the Vitamix:
  • cup of skim milk
  • cup of berries
  • ice
  • vanilla yogurt
  • scoop of chocolate protein powder
  • agave nectar
  • cranberry maple muesli on top
Zumba update: Found out today from my YMCA gym that they might be looking for volunteer Zumba teachers to cover classes (currently there is only one Zumba class per week- ONE!! Craziness!!). Granted it doesn't sound like its a paid position but I'll do anything for the ability to practice. Fingers crossed I can actually start teaching sooner than later!

Time to get my study on.
