HI. I hope your week flew by as quickly as mine did. Having Mondays off from school makes the week zip on by and here we are…FRIDAY! I don’t have any major plans for the weekend, though. Russ and I are hoping to get dinner somewhere tonight because its been a hot minute since we’ve gone out (unless you count Boston Market…and you should because it’s DELICIOUS. #gourmet) Other than that, babysitting on Saturday night, going to see Tevin’s basketball game during the day Saturday, hoping to go downtown and walk around (still looking for friends to join…) and….maybe studying for my bio exam. That’s a big fat maybe.
Anywho, here are some of my favorite things this week.
1. Nike Training Club Alpha Abs Workout
A few weeks back, my friend Hannah showed be this 15 minute ab workout KILLER and I haven’t looked back. I do this 15 minute set almost every time I workout and it’s done wonders for my ab (yes, singular ab. I have one that peeks through on my left side and it’s my baby. I l0o0o0o0ve it.) It’s under the “get focused” section if you want to try it. It works both lower AND upper abs so you can feel all types of burn. [If you want to know more about Nike Training Club, I wrote a post about it here.]
2. Trader Joe’s Belgian Chocolate Pudding 
So last night, during one of our usual “let’s go to Trader Joe’s and spend too much money on things we’ve never heard of trips”, my dad and I found this pudding. [Very serious business]
I was all “eh” how good can it be…it’s pudding (don’t get me wrong I love pudding with a passion). But this is not pudding. This, THIS, is chocolate icing disguised as pudding and not nearly as sweet. It is so thick and SO GOOD. We ate almost the entire container in one sitting and every bit of intestinal backlash was worth it. TRUST ME.
3. Microwave Eggs 
Clockwise from top left: Perfect eggs with turkey loaf; oatmeal with egg, cheese and pepper; just egg; egg, cheese and pepper jelly sandwich.
It may or may not be an addiction. Don’t knock it til ya try it! Just be sure to put a few holes in the yoke or else…well, I’ll let you figure it out. And be on standby so when you hear popping noises in the microwave, you can take it out and give it a nice stir. But, other than those precautions, microwave eggs are so good and are ready to eat in under a minute and no pan cleaning so you can spend more time eating your eggs. You’re weeeellllcome!
4. Fall + Fall Running
Since I haven’t been basic enough for one post, let me just take up the basic b*tch level here and say that the trees and the cool, crisp air are my favoooorite. Running is great……and so is pumpkin coffee. Ok, basicness over.
5. Um…Random
I really don’t have a 5th one (sad??) so let’s go with the fact that I’m skipping school and still wearing pajamas and drinking coffee. Pretty good start to the weekend, if I do say so myself.
Also, random things- Thanksgiving is in 3 weeks, my mom is talking about going to Cuba again, Teddy hasn’t pooped in the house in WEEKS, and…I’m getting my hair did some time next week.
Have a great weekend my loyal fans!
