Someone slept in until 8:30 over here ;). To justify myself though I was awake from 1:30-3 a.m….usually I have trouble falling asleep but once I do, I stay asleep. Its a rare occasion that I wake up in the middle of the night and roam around for hours. I’m so glad when my alarm went off at 7 I rolled back over, even if it did mean missing my favorite yoga class. A girl needs her beauty rest!
When I finally did arise, I made a waffle sandwich with my new almond butter!
Thank you SO much, Tom, for the wonderful almond butter and almonds from the Briden Wilson Farm!! Of course I said yes when Tom contacted me and asked me if I would care to try his homemade almond butter….obviously! It was such wonderful timing that my almond butery package should arrive yesterday 🙂 The almond butter was suuuuuuuper creamy and delicious and, I don’t know about you, but I’d rather support small businesses and farms when I can! I can’t wait to snack on the wasabi almonds…yum!
With a plum (sorry, awful lighting):
I also had a glass of iced green tea that I made yesterday. Tazo has a new line of specialty iced teas and I was excited to try this!
So, today I have exciting plans!!!!! What could they be, you ask?! OBVIOUSLY today is a very very VERY special day……..
I’ve only been waiting for this day for the past 6 months. Seriously! So, naturally, I am going with Anne and my mom at 1:15 to see it! 🙂
I will report back! TGIF!
Happy Birthday, Zesty!!!!!!!!!!!!

August 7, 2009 at 9:58 amI saw Julie & Julia at a special screening about 6 weeks ago – it is awesome! Meryl Streep becomes Julia Child… I can’t wait for the DVD to watch it over and over and over again. Have fun! (And plan to be hungry for some of your parisian treats afterwards.)

And what a great breakfast to start the day out right. The almond butter sounds fabulous!

August 7, 2009 at 10:26 amSometimes I have a hard time falling asleep, but once I am asleep, I stay that way too! My mom says that I wouldn’t know it if someone carried me away while I was sleeping 😉

Yay for Julie and Julia! I’ve been waiting to watch it too!

Sounds like you have a fun day ahead of you girly 🙂 Enjoy!
gigi
August 7, 2009 at 12:06 pmOk, my first time commenting(loooooong time lurker)
I am so jealous you are going to see Julie and Julia! From someone who just went through a devastating breakup in June(3.5 years and he cheated on me with who is now his gf), everyday does get better. There are days when I wake up and immediately have tears in my eyes and then there are days where I don’t think about him at all. You are very lucky to have an amazing group of friends and super resilient family, this is the time to depend on them 🙂
Lola
August 7, 2009 at 12:06 pmBAH! Not fair! I don’t know if we’ll get that movie here in Madrid. Looks like I’ll be watching it online.
Sheri
August 7, 2009 at 12:11 pmBAH! Have a great time! From what I have heard it is awesome! I am going this Sunday to see it! Can’t wait!
