Good News, Bad News

Hi guys!

So what do you want first, the bad news, or the good news??

Let's start with the good news first.

There are less than 3 weeks until the Bar exam.

Which means, pretty soon, I will be enjoying this:

With a fruity cocktail in hand, of course.

And the bad news?

There are less than 3 weeks until the Bar exam.

Which means, right now, I am feeling a little like this:

But really, I can't even watch one of my favorite TV shows without thinking about the things I have been cramming in my head all day.

The new season of Flipping Out (my FAV!) started tonight on Bravo, and all I could think about was whether one of Jeff's (the main character - he's an interior designer/former house flipper) clients could sue him for damages because he was late on finishing her remodel project.

Saaaaave me!!

Anyway, let's get back to business.

I'm super sorry I missed you guys yesterday!

I hope you all will just bear with me through the next few weeks as I TCB (take care of business), and then things on BEBT will get back to normal.

What's in it for you?

Well...for one, when this nightmare is over, I will be extra chipper (I know you're excited about that!), and, for two, I will have lots of fun vacation posts with pretty pictures, and, for three, I might even have a GIVEAWAY (free stuff, yay!).

Sound like a deal?? Okay, great! Woo hoo! :)

Since they say it's Wednesday (happy hump day, ya'll!), I think it's time for a little WIAW!

As a testament to how busy I have been, this is how my breakfast has looked for the past 2 days:

Oats in a cup!! Which, is actually from a bar...no you stay classy! :)

{Cinnamon Roll Oat Fit + 2/3 cup almond milk + 1/2 tbsp Chia Seeds (cramming in those Omega-3s) + 1 tbsp Blizzard Butter (white chocolate peanut butter I learned about over on Sweet Tooth Sweet Life, which is, amazeballs!) + straaawwberries, topped off with a tinnie tiny handful of my favorite granola (see below), because, hey, I deserve it!}

Eaten as I definitely drove the speed limit raced to the train this morning.  Mmm mmm good.

There was obviously also 2 LARGE cups some coffee involved.  Needs my go-go juice.

Since my brain's been a little scat scat, I forgot to take a picture of my mid-morning snack, but it went a little like this:

= best snackage ever. 

The only thing getting me through the morning half (that's right, we've had FULL days the past 2 days) of my Barbri lecture, was this treasure waiting for me: 

You can't see it all, but here's the break-break down...

Spring mix + roasted corn (dinner leftover) + roasted broccoli (dinner leftover) + red pepper + shredded BBQ chicken (not pictured, I threw it on after) + fresh basil + balsamic dressing. 

A match made in veggie heaven! :)  I seriously LOVE using seasoned-up veggies leftover from dinner in my salad at lunch.  

I also had a side of these delicious thangs:

Cause you just gotta have something carby & crunchy sometimes. 

And then...there was this:  

{Oh yeah, lots, and LOTS, of that.} 

Something bad happened.

I found out that they sell my favorite white fudge Flipz at the train station.

Ruuuttt rooooo.  

You guys know I can NEVER pass up the Flipz.  The sweet, the salty, I just can't get enough (boy I think about it every niiiigggght...and dayyy...and yes, I may or may not be losing my mind). 

And then there was dinner, another leftover lover:

Leftover BBQ meatloaf + roasted broccoli & cauliflower + leftover sweet potato fries (Alexia's, you gotta try them!). 

I hope my Bar exam performance is half as good as my eating performance tonight, because I nearly cleaned that plate. Wowzers. 

After dinner, while I recited contracts in my brain enjoyed some couch time with Jeff Lewis, I sipped on a cup of my favorite tea (it's decaf, don't worry!):

(source)

This stuff is so so good!! I think I've said it before, but it reminds me of the tea they have at the Aveda stores.  Very comforting, relaxing, and healthy. 

And on that note, I am sufficiently relaxed and more than ready to crawl into my cozy bed. 

See you guys tomorrow (any post requests??)!

xoxo

P.S. I updated my workout log.  It seems to be lacking some...variety. Time to switch things up tomorrow, who knows what I will get into! ;)
