Hey, guess what??
School starts, like, next week. Does that give me an excuse to do back-to-school shopping? Even though I haven’t actually been in school for four years now? I thought so, too.
Today I’m giving away two $25 Amazon.com gift cards to get us all in the spirit! Buy a new book with it…or a million mp3s. If you’re looking for something good to read, may I humbly suggest this? I finished it two months ago but it’s still on my mind…
This giveaway is sponsored by me, myself and I! Because I love you. And because I’m super thankful that each of you tune into ELR every single day to expand your minds with my latest culinary creation, no matter how weird it may be. I’ll pick two random winners tomorrow evening at 10 pm PST. To enter, just leave a comment on this post telling me something good about your day!
Ready…set…GO!

Woke up to the sun shining and a perfectlyyyy brewed mug of hot coffee (had to drink instant for months after being deprived of a coffee maker for a little while!) : )

I had an awesome morning! I got a great 6 mile run in, played with my kids, got a little cleaning done. And best of all I called my 92 year old grammy. She is amazing and inspires me every day. I exercise daily because of her. She still walks 2 to 3 miles everyday (at 92!!) and starts every day with stretching and strength exercises. She is truly amazing. When I called her she was picking apples from her apple tree to make homemade applesauce. Amazing!
I am just giddy for no reason today

A good thing about my day is the weather! Living in San Francisco means 50 degree blustery weather in the middle of Summer, which just makes me more grateful for gloriously sunny days like today!
I got my first pay-check in about 3 months today. That was awesome. My bank account and I are very happy!
I got a good couple of hours of sleep before working nightshift tonight
The best thing about my day was that I finished my paper one week ahead of time, that’s a first for me.
I would totally use a gift card! I am a teacher, and school starts a week from Wednesday.

I found a coupon for Bed Bath and Beyond just before heading there to buy something — yahoo! As a booklover, though, this giveaway makes my day, too!

Hubby and I got home yesterday from camping for the 1st time with our new puppy and both desperately wanted sleep. Well, in the middle of the night the puppy, Lando, chewed through the lamp chord under the bed and made some pained noises. I dropped to the floor to look for him. I couldn’t see him so I shot my head up. Little did I know Hubby was leaning over my side of the bed, looking down. I ended up hitting his forehead, just over his right eye, with the top of my head. Hard. After a few moments of pained curses, Lando jumped on the bed and licked our sore heads as if the apologize for causing the crazy. We managed to get back to sleep with Lando at our feet 
Puppy kisses = good.

i finally got a hold of a copy of the violets of march, one of the books that you featured on your blog. its the perfect day to read (its been POURING allllll day) so ive been snuggling up on the couch and reading this book!
The best part of my day – I received a grade on a final I took on Thursday for Accounting 2 and I received an A! Always a relief!!
I’m wearing my favorite red lipstick which makes me feel awesome all day long!
glorious sunshine and good friends to enjoy it with!
I had off today from work and spent the day relaxing and watching The Kardashians. It was glorious
Thanks for the giveaway!
My roommate and I discovered today that with back to school and welcome events, we will be eating for free most of the week. The best part – we aren’t even in college any more, we work there now. Alright back to school!!
Long rainy day at work – but now cozy inside after a home-cooked dinner and going to enjoy some Netflix
.
I just found your blog! I love swimming with my little kiddos.
Oh wonderful giveaway! Today I was happy I was able to take a bar method class and feel the burn immediately. Which was promptly followed by a few hours volunteering at the cat shelter – which always makes me happy.
Getting to spend the whole day outside with my sister

Homemade graham crackers definitely made my day today! And that my husband makes me laugh every single day.

Today I made it to the gym at lunch and plan to make bread, do yoga and relax tonight! It would be great to relax with a brand new book.
Best part of the day was my workout – 9 miles with 5 x 1mile repeats. Woop! I felt awesome!
Got my workout in this morning, cooked my son a great breakfast for back to school AND had a great day with work! Plus the weather was cooler in Arkansas!
Today is the first day of school and the first time I’ve not been nervous (and I’m a teacher!)
Today is my anniversary… 7 years!
something (very) good: i got up early to fit in a 35 minute workout before work (on a monday no less!) and it was cool enough to get in a 3+ mile run outside after work! woo hoo!
I met a boy
I know silly but it’s been a while since I met a boy that i found to be decent and could talk to. So we shall see maybe my good day will turn into more good!
something good about my day was that it started out in baltimore with my good friends and ended up in boston, where i live. i had such a good weekend visiting friends!
I’ll give you three great things about my day:
1) I started reading your blog and immediately subscribed via RSS.
2) I had a great breakfast and lunch of healthy, home cooked meals and a great bike ride to and from work.
3) I came home from work to flowers and a present wrapped up from my boyfriend for the start of “birthday week”.
Hope you had an equally amazing day. I’m so happy I found your blog — love it!
I tried a new chocolate tea today….so so GOOD! Loved it!
My boyfriend is in town, I ate delicious Mexican food, and I only worked half a day today!
I got to leave work on time!
Amazing weather today!! Sat outside and did work for a while – so refreshing!
I spent quality time with my daughter Zoe. We are missing my son, Emmet who is at his first overnight camp for the whole week. To help us get over our sadness we went swimming and then made Orange and Nut Bars. Nothing like a little exercise and baking to get you through the day.

I’ve spent the day with my 22-month-old and 3-week-old sons, and wonderful husband!
Today was my last day of vacation and I spent it doing exactly what I wanted: nothing! It was so great just to relax, not running around, and spending time with my boyfriend. Ah-mazing.
Ate a wonderful dinner with the hubby. I love when its just us alone!! Delish food+ great wine= a great night!!
I <3 ELR almost as much as I love food!!!

My husband is sick today, which might not sound great, but that means he is home right now! Party! (even if the party is him just lying on the couch while we watch movies)
Something great: My puppy appears to be potty trained!
i read all of these… and in doing so, i was reminded just how beautiful these little lives of ours really are!
My great day: a two and a half hour lunch break so my hubby picked me up at work and took me out!
I had a great run this morning!
the best part of my day was the shrimp stirfry my mom made!
My day wasn’t the greatest (I’m sick) but my son’s smile makes it great. He’s pretty kick ass.
Your blog is the highlight of my morning. I literally CAN.NOT.WAIT to see what your new post will be. Thank you for making my day brighter.
I got to have lunch with a friend that I haven’t seen in way too long. And, since it was finally not a zillion degrees outside, we got to eat on the patio!
I took a nap next to my precious 5 month old
.
I had an interview today that went really well. Plus, I have another phone interview lined up for tomorrow
The grumpy old Italian woman at the Italian store smiled at me….first time ever….
I worked out hard, got a mani/pedi, and successfully finished the 3rd day of my fruit cleanse!
It has been a beautiful day today, Wisconsin’s weather is very beautiful–not too humid!! I went on a 5 mile run, read my book “The Best of Times” by Penny Vincenzi…If you haven’t read, I recommend it!
Thanks for the giveaway chance, Jenna! That is so awesome of you!
I got to start my day with a run near the beach with a friend I haven’t seen in months!

I finally got some boxes organized and put away in my bedroom, making me feel much better!
My day was great, full of excitement because tomorrow morning I’m on a flight out to Myrtle Beach!

Today, instead of eating over my computer working, I enjoyed a fabulous lunch at my favorite lunch spot with a friend. It shouldn’t be such a treat, but it made my day!!
Best part of my day: consuming the delicious salad beast from Panera!
I had a rough day at work and the best part of my day is coming home to my two cute shitzhu puppies who are so excited to see me and give me kisses! They make me smile even when I don’t always feel like it! I love my boys!
My friend left homemade muffins on my desk!
My hubby and I got to spend the day together! (We both happen to have the day off)
Today was actually my first day of work at MIT, it went a little like this:
When I got off the subway to go to my lab, I found a vegetarian food truck (I’m a veg!) and ordered a soft boiled egg and heirloom tomato breakfast pita. I walked across the street to the campus and then something amazing happened: I looked out at the grassy lawn, pita in hand, and had that unmistakable feeling that this is where I’m meant to be.
I got together with an old friend for coffee!
Two good things–reading a great book (The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver) and heading to a yoga class right now!
I had my first day at my first job!
I love that picture of the books, Jenna! …The beginning of the school year always makes me feel all warm & fuzzy inside <3
My day was good because of wine, girl talk & chicken nachos. …Not particularly in that order
I love books! Yay to a giveaway! The good thing about my day is my boyfriend is returning home in a few more hours after being gone for work for the past 2 weeks!
Lunch with my dad… a special treat
watching the glee project and true blood
Oh love this!! I could by a stack of lovely books – loved used books on Amazon!!
Well, I met with my trainer today (good thing one) and my insanely tight right hip is starting to loosen up (good thing two). Finally!
I moved into my first apartment!
I moved back to the town I go to law school in and I’m excited to do cool things like buy textbooks and read for the first day of class
Today had so many good things. I started week 4 of the Couch to 5k program and though I was intimidated by bumping my running intervals up to 5 minutes..I did it! Then I met a friend that I hadn’t seen in a year and a half and we spent a good hour catching up and laughing hysterically. Good friends are the ones you can see after FOREVER and just be comfortable with like you’d seen each other yesterday. THEN I went to the Borders liquidation sale and treated myself to something (haven’t spent any of my money on anything other than gas and groceries in forever!). THEN I came home to the new issue of Whole Living and made roasted squash, potatoes, and tomatoes with parmesan with my beautiful mamma. I also got one of my text books in that was written by my favorite Anthropology professor. Now, I’m going to make even more of this perfect Georgia day by tilling my garden and getting ready to plant Fall crops!
Kinda neat to tell a complete stranger about my day!
Capital funding decision for our project was a “go”!
Something good about my day… I just made your dairy-free stuffed shells and they are baking in my oven right now! They smell amazing and I can’t wait to eat them!
Mmmm! They were good and they got approval from my family. Thanks!
A good thing about today: I finished a project I’ve been working on for almost a year! It would be nice to win a gift card so I could buy more books.
Today I left work a little early and did a much needed pilates work out. My body felt so wonderful and relaxed.
I get to sleep in my own bed tonight after being out of town for the weekend!!
My lunch was paid for today! (I did work 14.5 hours this weekend to earn it, but still…)
O’Fallon Weach beer and barbecue chicken pizza (with homemade BBQ sauce)! That’s what’s good about my day.
Make that “Wheach” beer. I can’t be falsely advertising…
I am a teacher so I am making the most of the few days left of summer…today I made blueberry jam, blueberry muffins, and a blueberry pie! Clearing out our bushes.
Today was my first day of graduate school and even though I already have more homework than I can handle I had a great day!
The sun is out! After weeks of smoggy, cloudiness, the beautiful blue sky is finally here. This is a very good thing about my day!
Perfect post as it was my first day back in my classroom trying to pull things together for the first day next week! Keep your fun, inspirational posts coming!

today I went for a long long walk with my sister/bestie
Actually, school started today for me–I’m an eighth grade teacher. This is my first year, and today was the best first day back I’ve had so far. It started with a beautiful, 70-degree run this morning, where I saw a shooting star. How’s that for a good sign?
Something good about my day: I got to go out for lunch with a couple of my co-workers!

I took my dog for a walk this morning before the sun came up. It was a well enjoyed peaceful time before I had to go to work.
Today I found an alternative to Soy Sauce called Coconut Aminos at the health food store. I’m soy-free, and gluten-free, and boy o boy was I excited to see this! And let me tell you, it’s SO.GOOD.
And it’s sunny outside, not too hot.
What can be better?!
Today I signed up for a women’s soccer league and I’m so pumped!! I haven’t played since my freshman year in college and can’t wait to spend the fall running around on a field just like high school again
!!!
I made plans to go on a super special camping trip with my best friend.
