That would be dark chocolate-covered pineapple. In the shape of a star, plucked from an Edible Arrangements basket. YUM. My family goes through fruit by the ton, and this was a welcome surprise. (Okay, I don't want to give away all the credit...I have been known to eat four or five apples/oranges/an entire bushel of grapes in one day. I am a fruitivore. =P)
The next day...IKEA! I had no reason to shop, what with my dorm already being furnished, but I'm a sucker for everything miniature. I love the sleek furniture and I coveted sooo many bookshelves. One day I will have a Manhattan apartment with lots of bookshelves. =D
We stopped for a quick bite to eat. I had Swedish meatballs with lingonberry jam and mashed potatoes, along with a side salad.
Lingonberry juice! =)
I loved the lingonberry jam and bought some to take home for myself. Dinner was some biscuits with jam...delish. I hadn't had biscuits in a very long time.
I've been running around lately trying to finish up everything before I leave for college. I needed some quality friend time. =D
Froyo date with the lovely M. We went to a new place (with CHAIRS! Whoa, a step-up from the place I had been to before) and it was a nice time catching up, reminiscing about high school, and analyzing the shop's soundtrack. The music consisted of Glee covers, Broadway, and random Disney songs...strange, but I liked it!
Nice, new shirt? Yes, super comfy, but...I realized I had blue armpits by the end of the night. Wash before wearing...noted! I am wearing my running shorts, but I actually went for a 20 minute swim that morning. I have not been in the workout groove lately (my muscles feel tight), and I'm not doing anything strenuous before my three day backpacking trip. It's so close! A week from today, I'll be in the middle of hiking in the mountains. Woohoo!
Cake batter, banana, and raspberry flavors with chocolate chips, kiwi, maraschino cherries, and rainbow sprinkles! I am addicted to the combination of cake batter and banana. After making a CVS run (for Sour Patch Kids and Fig Newtons...talk about sugar overload!), we watched The Notebook (me for the first time...I live under a rock. I liked it! I love the 40s era!).
I was up against the Rock Band champ...but I managed to pull off 99% on keyboard! Yipee! I had to record it because I am notoriously terrible at Rock Band. Queen? Heck yeah.
My attempt on drums? Um...there is a reason I didn't photograph that one. ;)
Of course, M kicked my butt in Disney Trivial Pursuit. I consider myself a Disney enthusiast, but I am useless on questions for The Rescuers and The Great Mouse Detective...I really need to watch/re-watch those!
Well played, M, well played.
I think I'm bringing Disney Scene It to college for a hall-wide competition. =D
The next day, I hung out with more friends! I saw Glee, the movie, and stopped at Borders to pick up a few books.
Do you like board games? I can't get enough of them. I say the weirdest things in reaction to clues (this week: MUUUUFASA! (a la The Lion King)), and they make great competition and fodder for inside jokes.
Watched any movies lately?
i saw the glee movie today and thought it was okay - not great but of course not bad either!
ReplyDeletemy family plays board games most weekends but my favorite is probably monopoly or scrabble.
&& your froyo looks amazing!! :)
I've always wanted to go to Ikea and I've always wanted an edible arrangement... jealous!! The last movie I saw was the harry potter movie, which was obviously da bomb. I really want to see the help, it was such a good book!!
