I went to Ann Taylor Loft tonight, and guess what?? LP finally found a coat!! Hoooray!! I love this tweed/beige pea coat. It's classic. I'm so sick of my black pea coat. With two adorable, cute, amazing dogs, I've found it impossible to keep my darker colored coats clean and "fur-less". Obviously this isn't the greatest pic of the coat, but you get the idea. Can't wait to wear it tomorrow and forever. LOL.
To celebrate my new coat, I went to Starbs and got a skinny cinnamon dolce latte. I don't know what got me more excited- my extra foamy latte, or the sight of Starbs signature red holiday Christmas cups!!
Perfect frothy goodness
This topped off my night; Christmas decorations are up at the mall! Apparently, they did it all Sunday night. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.....
Stu picked me up and we went to dinner. I got my usual salad with grilled scallops. Stu got a slice of boring cheese pizza and a side salad.
I made Hungry Girl's "Ooey Gooey Chocolate Cherry muffins" for tomorrow's jock meeting. They smell outta this world.
Perfection.

Geese, that run from earlier knocked me out. Why am I so tired? In bed by 10 tonight.
For lunch I made stir-fry with peppers, mushrooms, asparagus, onions and shirataki noodles. I also added feta and low sodium soy sauce. Turned out great.
After lunch I watched "The Women" and fell asleep at some point. I woke up to my neighbors kids running around like maniacs in their yard. Thanks guys.
Now I'm at Starbucks and hating my drink. I got a tall sugar free vanilla soy misto. I should get something else, but I don't feel like being "that customer" today. Plus I like the barista kid. He's always asking how I like NY and my new station (923now.com).
This is all I drank. Big fat disappointment.
I am still infatuated with my iphone. I must look like an idiot though, because my iphone case is pink, my mac hard case cover is pink, the pen I'm using is pink, and the hoodie I'm wearing is, you guessed it, pink.
I LOVE PINK!!
I look surprised that I'm taking my own pic
Before you ask, this hoodie is from H&M and cost $29. Totally worth it. I got one in grey too.
BTW- I'm definitely sticking with bleaching my roots. I love the way my hair looks (not vain or anything), now that the roots are starting to grow in: and when I actually wash it, it looks like I just got fresh highlights.
Sorry to the 3 people that hate my hair this color and think I look "washed out". Get used to it ladies. Bleach blonde is here to stay :0)
Did I mention there's only 61 days til Christmas?? (ADD moment)
That is all. Have a good rest of your night.
Oh, and don't forget to check out my lil sister's new blog, GOODIESGALORE.COM
You know me and fiber. I love, love, LOVE it The more fiber the better in my book. ! I was at Target again this morning and look what I found!!!!

I've been at Starbs for the past 2 hours and now my ass is killing. They need better cushioning here. I gulped down a tall sf caramel soy latte. It was warm and wonderful.
What should I have for lunch? I don't feel like going home to make something. Hmmm, subway? No, I eat that everyday. Salad?? I had 4 lbs last night, so, no. Ummm, taco bell?? Hell no. There is nothing around here. Wait a minute...maybe Chick-Filet? I could go for a grilled chx sandwich. Now I'm getting excited.
Went to Target again and bought yet another flannel button down. The lady that was ringing me up said;
"An extra small...does your son wear this size? Will this fit him"?
WHAT the?????? First of all, that flannel came from the women's department, and secondly, why would she assume I had kids, let alone a son???? In shock, I responded:
"Oh, that's for me, I don't have kids, I just love these flannels".
That was the end of that awkward conversation.
**Please note that I wasn't at all offended she asked if I had a kid. Just a little taken back. Last week I was carded at the Wine and Spirits store- so you see my point. Do I look 14 or 44? Lol.
Brush it off..
After Target, I decided last minutes to get a blow out. Shout out to Lindsay at Salon Metro. She is blow-out queen. Now I feel glam...despite the fact that I'm wearing leggings, flats and a green hoodie. I'm a total schlep today. Whoofc.
Alright, my butt is beyond numb, so I'm packing it up.
Justin's hooking us up. Damn. First he gives us his awesomely delicious sqeezable peanut butter, then came the almond butter, and now chocolate nut butter!! This is too good to be true. As always, shout out to my friend and fellow foodie, Lisa Lillien (aka Hungry Gir) for letting the world about Justin's new CHOCOLATE BUTTER!!! Did I mention these all come in 100 calorie packs?? I remember the first time I discovered Justin's buttter..it was 2 years ago at Starbs. Wow, how far we've come :0)
I LOVE JUSTIN!!
Where has the week gone?
Happy hump day!
I slept terribly last night. We hooked up our new electric blanket and jacked up the heat on both sides of the bed. Mistake #1. Around 3am I woke up dripping with sweat. I reached down to turn my dial off, but 25 minutes later, it was still boiling. I shoved my leg over to Stu's side of the bed and it was cool as a cucumber. Then it dawned on me, our dials were mixed up. I was basically up every 20 minutes after that. Finally around 5:30 I got up and hit the tready. Ran 4.5 miles and it felt so good. Especially after last nights binge. I gained 1 lb, which is beyond me. I seriously inhaled 800+ calories and then went strait to bed. WEIRD. I'm still stuffed. This was my breakfast-
tall sugar free caramel soy latte and a banana
Not sure what I'll eat for lunch. Something light though. Maybe soup and a small salad. Whatever I end up ordering, it'll be through seamlessweb.com
It's chilly up here in CT. Darn. I'm wearing flip flops, but I should have worn my uggs. I feel like we may need to stop at Starbs and get a chi tea latte. I don't normally blow 150 calories on one drink, but for some reason, a chi tea latte seems to be the perfect warm drink for today. I'll make the exception.
Our beloved "Pumpkin Spice Latte" is back at Starbs! I can't remember if I've ever actually had one. I know I tried the gingerbread latte at one point and hated it. I definitely recall drinking an eggnog latte though. How could I forget that experience. It was unbelievable. I am 1,000% getting another one of those when they come back. Anyway, back to the pumpkin spice latte; I'm sure they're great and all, but this is one (of many) drinks you should only drink on special occasions (in my humble opinion). A tall non-fat (w/o whip) is 200 calories. It's 330 cals for a non-fat venti. The only way I can justify drinking this, is if I order a "short" for 130 cals. More realistic I think.
And another thing (this is the last I promise).. Why the HELL hasn't Starbucks come out with more sugar free syrups??? Wouldn't that be the next obvious step? While they're busy re-working their food menu to be "free of all artificial flavors/trans fats/dyes", not one person over there in Seattle has come with a way to create new flavored sugar free syrups for us?? Seriously, they want to make the snacks healthier, well do the same for your beverages!! Equal LOVE . I can only drink so many skinny vanilla/caramel lattes. If Arctic Zero can make 128 calorie pints of ice cream, we can surely come up with a few more flavored sugar free syrups. I refuse to believe this can't be done. Am I wrong? WTF?
That is all.
I bought "pumpkin pie spice creamer" the other night, and I gotta be honest with ya; not a fan. Down the drain it went. Oh well, I guess I'll have to make up for it by getting a "short" pumpkin spice latte. Too bad the mother of all Starbucks is right next door to my building. Not good for meeeee.
It's about time Starbs came up with a mini card for our key chain. Question is; where's the "black card" version of these babies??
