First week of smiling

So, yea I kind of applied this kind of didn’t.  I had a crappy past few days.

I went home this weekend, so cookies galore haha

 

These are gluten free chocolate caramel cookies.  I was skeptical at first, but they’re SOOOO GOOOOD!  They’re from Mi-Del, they are made from gluten-free flour and contain no trans fat or artificial flavoring. I checked out Fooducate (free app!) to see what they say..yea there’s artificial flavoring in there, I knew it was too good to pass up 😛

I also had a conversation with my dad, about graduation and Outdoor track conferences being that same weekend.  Obviously I am graduating, obviously I am walking, I already paid the fee to show up (Do other schools do this???).  So on top of that, the following day is the Pittsburgh Marathon.  I havn’t signed up for it yet, I plan to, and I get paid this week from my work study (mmm budget challenge out the window).

I also tried Ba Ghanouj this past weekend.  It’s hummus, but instead of chickpeas it is made with eggplant.  My other half and I went to this Mediterranean restaurant called BaBa D’s.  I’m not sure if they cut their own french fries, but they were the best I’ve ever had anywhere.  Not soggy or super stiff or too salty.  On the plus side, it was cheap, like cheaper than Panera bread or Subway cheap and a huge portion size.

I guess for the smile challenge, I actually did smile more.  At least reflecting on it I think I did haha.  When you smile more, things seem to automatically be better.  Your perspective in life changes from “Doh, I can’t do anything today BLAAHH” to “I feel like superwoman and I’m gonna tackle the world!”

Any Graphic Designers out there will get a kick out of this “confessions of a designer”
