If today is any indication, this is going to be a spectacular month. I’m completely certain of it.

I hung around school until about 12:30ish. While there, I had a little snack of a Pink Lady apple (my fave), a few almonds, and some Japanese white tea. I was so busy running around that I forgot to take a pic (lo siento!).

Then, I walked up to Target for some school/home shopping. Mind you, I love all things Target. It’s hard for me to leave with fewer than three shopping bags. As if the day couldn’t get any better, I stopped at Starby’s in Target and saw that today is the official first day back for the pumpkin spice latte! It was lip-smackin’ delishy. I know, this is like the day that dreams are made of.

I walked back home with my bags (which included 30, yes 30, composition notebooks among other things). I don’t normally count a walk as part of my workout, but this walk was quite a workout, I must say.

I worked up an appetite on the way home, and had some pesto w/ whole wheat pasta while watching the US Open again.

Yum! I was still kinda hungry after the pasta and had some of the granola that I made on Sunday.

I should tell you that this granola deserves a disclaimer. A year or two ago I overcame a major addiction to Kashi GoLean Crunch cereal. I couldn’t keep the box in my house for more than a 24-36 hour period. I would inhale it as if I’d never seen food before. Small children and pets would need to keep their distances lest they be mistaken for the Kashi. I quit cold turkey and haven’t looked back. If you, like me, cannot keep sweet crunchy delicious health cereals in her house for fear of overdose, tread lightly around this granola. I think the next batch I’ll have to send with husby to his office.

The rest of my afternoon/evening includes a little school work, and then meeting some friends at the Boat Basin for dinner and drinks.

Enjoy the weather!
