A Chess Player???

Hola! Was it snowing where you are today? We were supposed to get this “storm” but nothing really came of it. No skin off my back. DD was ecstatic that the snow pretty much stayed away because her grade traveled to the Ontario Science Centre in Toronto today to see the Human Body Exhibit. Had the weather been bad the trip would’ve been cancelled. So, after a few nights of not so good sleep, I rocked dreamland last night and got a solid 7hrs in. Nice! And here’s what I ate to start the day off:
-1 cup water
-1/2 cup Quaker oats
-cinnamon
-PB&Co cinnamon swirl PB
-USVAB
The PB totally made the bowl. Mighty Maple is still my favourite, but this one comes in a close second; which is a good thing because Mighty Maple is one that I can’t find in my area!

My morning snack was a muffin a la blueberry:
I’m still sporting the v-day Ziplocs!! :D

I decided to take today off from the gym. Wednesday’s are a good rest day for me being smack in the middle of the week and all. I had some pants I needed to drop off at the tailor before I went home to veg out with Dr. Oz for a bit. I reheated last night’s leftover stir fry to eat:
I wasn’t 100% satisfied after that so I chomped on 2 Ryvita muesli crackers.
Then ate this on my way back to work.
Prime example of why I pack my lunch. Had I done that today there would’ve been no crackers or chocolate. Meh.

The afternoon plodded along a bit but my strawberry & orange fruit bowl brightened it up significantly!
Doesn’t that look like a ray of sunshine???

As promised, here’s one of the necklaces that I bought at Smart Set on the weekend:

Purdy nice for $3.99, eh???

Apparently at some point in this school year DS joined the “chess club”. Huh? Who knew? Not us! Anyways, I think that’s pretty cool especially seeing as he “qualified” to advance to the next “level”. Keep in mind that we only found out about all this last night. After school today he had a “practice” in the library from 3:30-5:30 with some kids from other schools. This worked out perfectly as DD’s bus was due back to the school at 5:30 so I was able to grab them at the same time. This also meant that I was child free for 1.5 hours!!! Nobody to pick up after work, no rushing home to get supper started….BLISS! So what did I do? NOTHING!!! And a whole lot of it, too. It was glorious.

Once the kids did get home we had a very simple supper of eggs and toast. Mine was a WW bagel with a LC cheese wedge, Sabra hummus and a 1/3 cup of egg beaters, some of which ended up on the side of my plate.

Dessert was 2 small scoops of bacio (chocolate/hazelnut) gelato:

After dinner it was pool time, then I helped DS write his V-day cards as he needs them for his class tomorrow. I just settled in with a coconut chai tea…

And an unpictured raspberry oatmeal muffin. My plan is to watch Criminal Minds and then hit the sack-a-roo.

How’s your week going so far???

Bye for now!!
