I never had my computer crash before-but it crashed and I lost my blog that I had so excitedly typed up. Well now-that is no fun and I guess I will have to recreate it and post it later. You see, I was going to post the blog at 3pm between class and swim practice because in all honesty, it’s a Friday night (and the Friday before Halloween) who is going to spend their time reading my blog?
Well hopefully you! But if not-I understand. You see with swimming we have a 48 hour policy of no drinking so there are no parties going on anyways. Not that I drink but I do have a social life (I swear!). So I’ll be spending my night reading blogs and doing homework. Anywho.
In response to everyone’s comments-I agree 100%! No one person can fulfill all your social needs. You have girlfriends to go get manicures with, you have a significant other that truly understands all your inner feelings, you have brothers and sisters you have grown up and of course you have other Foodies who love to blog! Ha-had to throw that in there.
Today it actually came up with Aram and I, he was talking in some sort of “Bro talk” vernacular that I had no idea what was going on. So I point blank said, “Aram I have no idea what sort of bro talk you are using and told him to read my blog.”
——————-
Today started off at 6:40am-when my alarm went off. I sat there debating whether I should go for my run now or somehow squeeze in a run in between classes, then I thought back to last Friday. Last Friday was a disaster. I didn’t feel good because I was running on empty and was in bed by 7. I couldn’t complete a swim practice but I did complete a run. Anyways needless to say I slept in until 8 today and then my meeting that had thrown me off schedule was canceled anyways. So I got in my run at 12 like normal.
Friday is Diner Day!
I ordered 1 raspberry stuffed pancake and 1 apple pancake. Yes, the raspberry pancake came with whip cream on top.
Aram on the other hand ordered a meat lovers omelet.
Then off to Sports Psychology. We were almost late hehe. If you missed my blog on Wednesday, we are watching Bring it on. My teacher had a conference and so she had a graduate student put in the movie. Not only was there an attendance sheet but there is a GRADED worksheet. I love the movie to death (it’s one of my favorites) but in a college setting, she could have cancelled class and I could have gotten my math homework done. Oh wait…I did that while watching the movie anyways. Waste of my life.
Today I made pumpkin muffins for the cross country team. I posted a while back, that a big cross country meet happened to be on the same day as a big swim meet. Of course…well needless to say my swim coach told me if I don’t swim we won’t win and my cross country coach supported that. Was I in support? No not really-but I’m not a drama starter.
So I made them pumpkin muffins for tomorrow and I’m going to go give them to them on the bus (which leaves at 5:30am). No one can say I’m not dedicated to my teams!
Pumpkin Muffins:
1 box any cake mix you choose (I chose Spice Cake)
1 15 ounce can of pumpkin puree
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 egg whites
Mix and put into muffin cups. Cook according to package-I found mine were ready in about 12 minutes but I made them smaller.
Question for you: Favorite Holiday?
I like Christmas because of all the festivities. I like Halloween because I like the overall theme of pumpkins (but not being scared). New Years is good because it is a new start. Thanksgiving, Easter and Fourth of July bring families together. Valentines day is exciting if you have someone to share it with. What am I forgetting hehe?









Hey Hollie
I like your hair dark! I find Aram so funny! He got a meat lovers omlet… gotta love guys, huh?! Good luck in your swim meet!! I really hope you do well girl
Those pumpkin muffins look good too… I made a batch today too! I never thought of using a cake mix-that would save sooo much time!! I usually eat half of the batter though ;p
Have a nice Friday evening!
OMG those pancakes look DELISH. I know what I’m having for breakfast tomorrow and I may throw in some protein on your advice.
Like the hair color a lot. Perfect for this time of year. And best holiday for me is Thanksgiving followed by Christmas. Both are about friends, family and being in good company. Have a great weekend!
Ooh I cannot wait to see your pancakes! Yummy!
I love Christmas, but I am a bad Canadian because I hate the cold and snow. But I love the spirit of Christmas.
Dang girl, those pancakes look aweeesome!
You are so busy; it is good that you are a scheduler!
Happy Halloween!
Hollie- On Oct 24th you have a pumpkin mousse recipe that lists pumpkin pure. What is pumpkin pure?
I’d love to try that recipe.
Thx-Sharon
p.s. I’m not a fan of black hair, so I like brown, especially chocolate brown!!!
Ooh-I shall fix that. It is just canned pumpkin.
Good luck making it.
Love diner day! It gives me food envy
And I’m digging the dark hair, it really makes your features pop. Light hair has a tendency to wash things out, in my humble opinion.
Those raspberry filled pancakes with whipped cream will be in my dreams tonight
My favorite holiday is probably Christmas. I just love the whole Christmas season. I think I’m going to start listening to Christmas carols next week
I always get the whole Holy Joly Christmas tunes when I break out Christmas music.
GOSH the food seems so delicious…….Wanna take a bite.
I do muffins like that except I do a box of cake mix (usually spice), 100% pure pumpkin mixed together and that’s it! 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Hope you have a good weekend!
i like the dark hair! it is very fallsy. i must say my favorite holiday is thanksgiving followed by valentines day as a close second. halloween isn’t too shabby either. really, i think i like all holidays. give me an excuse to cook and have friends and family over and i am all about it!
Loving the darker hair! Looks really good.
I think my favorite holiday has got to be Thanksgiving. Just thinking about all that delicious food makes me happy.
Love love love your hair!!! Looks so good! My favorite holiday is definitely Thanksgiving because I get to see my WHOLE family!
Right now, I can’t drink on accutane but I’m still going out. But it is refreshing to see a college student whose weekends don’t revolve around alcohol and partying. I love it!
Have a wonderful weekend
Christmas is BY Far my favorite holiday! I love giving presents. It’s so much fun to shop for people and try to pick out the PERFECT present.. seriously, i start xmas shopping in like july! I have to hold myself back
