Staples and Thumbs

I think it’s just my body’s natural clock. It likes mornings better. However, when I came home to clock my total miles, I realized that my loop was actually 4.5 miles – which makes my total for today around 9 miles. Not bad for a Wednesday.
I’ll make this quick because I’m slowly turning into a zombie.
Lunch was awesome. So were snacks.
A mom in my class brings me a mocha every Wednesday – I appreciate it so much. She probably has no idea how much I look forward to that Kunjani deliciousness. Today was a white mocha, and I pretty much chugged it.
The Lara bar was my fave – peanut butter cookie. Ingredients: dates, peanuts, salt. How DO they do it?
In the cottage cheese container…
I am guessing there was ½ cup cottage cheese left. I added ½ cup garbanzo beans, ½ cup green beans, 4-5 black olives and some salt and pepper. It was heavenly.
Then around 2:30 (the kiddos were getting sweaty and stinky at PE) – I had 3 of the best cookies ever.
Wheat Germ Balls
It’ just now 8pm, and I am starting to feel some stomach growling, which doesn’t usually happen when I run in the evening. I didn’t expect to have dinner tonight…but it might just happen! Whohoo!

Funny story – I stapled my thumb to one of my student’s papers today. It was a complete and utter fiasco in the room. I got blood on his worksheet and he was freaking out, and the rest of the class was leaping on desks and chairs, trying to get a peek at the gore. Needless to say, we didn’t learn anything for the rest of the day…
I’m a little afraid to admit this in food blogland, but i’ve never tried cottage cheese! I’ve always assumed I wouldn’t like it, mostly because I like my fruit plain or with yogurt… But you are making me really want to mix it with something savory. We shall seee..

Oh my goodness you must try it! I love cottage cheese with everything! I like it more thank I like yogurt…eek!
That is so sweet of that mother!! I stapled my thumb on parent-teacher night once, like all the way in, bar flush with my skin. It bled everywhere and a student had to help me rip it out! I hope your thumb is feeling ok now!

I know, I am so fortunate to have good parents. I am sure your school was 100 times different than mine. Also – my thumb staple wasn’t NEAR that bad! Yikes!
aw girl i hope your finger is ok!
I’m starting to think morning runs are for me too! usually i do it in the afternoon, but now with school an all i’ve switched to early morning and i’m LOVING it so far! what do you eat before you go, or do you just go without anything. the other day i went without eating and was perfecting fine

Haha, the finger is fine. But thank you for the well wishes! It only hurt for like an hour. I usually don’t eat before runs because i have a really finicky stomach, but this afternoon I was feeling good and had some dry puffins. They sat well! Morning runs are always on an empty tummy for me.
Oh yikes! When I read this post title I was like “uh oh…I hope this isn’t what it sounds like!” Sorry there girlie
Hope it heals fast!
Congrats on the 9 miles. 9 miles is not so bad for a Wednesday at all. Or a Monday, or a Tuesday…or any day really!
And I agree. HOW DOES Larabar do it?!
Well thank you! It has pretty much healed. It was only one prong.
I’m sorry but I laughed when I read the part about your finger…only cause I can picture the scene and wondering why I didn’t hear about this…maybe A wasn’t in there? ;D Ok so I’ll be like everyone else (and not sadistic) and wish your finger well. ;D
You are right to laugh…it was quite the scene!
