Up front, I had a glass and a half of red wine last night upon returning home from <abbr class='c2c-text-hover' title='Stick Fighting'>SF<\/abbr> class.  Let me explain.  Last night Scott and I tested for our third degree brown belt (last test before black).  I was stressing this test like no other.  I knew everything save for one thing that gave me trouble.  That&#8217;s what was worrying me.  I could not wait to get Monday over and done with.  I knew it was going to be a long day because I had <abbr class='c2c-text-hover' title='Physical Therapy'>PT<\/abbr> in the morning and then the test that night.  Since there were a group of us testing all for different levels, it took a while.  By the time we were done it was 10pm, class is normally over by 9pm.<\/p>\n<p>Both of us passed our test and except for the part that I knew was going to give me trouble, I feel really good about my test and like I knocked it out of the water.  Scott and I always celebrate a test with something to drink because it is something worth celebrating.  And since yesterday was such a long day and I was stressing hardcore, I needed to relax.  Hello red wine.<\/p>\n<p>Both of us were hungry as well so out came a snack plate with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>English cheddar<\/li>\n<li>Sharp cheddar<\/li>\n<li>Chicken in a Biscuit crackers<\/li>\n<li>Sliced green apple<\/li>\n<li>Foodshouldtastegood sweet potato chips<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I had all of the English cheddar which was about 2oz, and most of the apple (Scott had a few bites of that).  I also had one Chicken in a Biscuit cracker and realized how much I can&#8217;t stand them anymore.  And some of the sweet potato chips which are just awesome and are a perfect salty snack if you are in need of some salty goodness.<\/p>\n<p>I was up until 12:30. <img src='\/images\/eek2.gif' alt=':O' \/>  Crazy!  By the time we sat down on the couch it was going on 11pm.  I. Was. Tired.  I slept and slept.  Got up at 7:30am to a slight headache from not enough sleep.  Booo.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1809\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/ohc-11-25-08_coffee.jpg\" data-rel=\"attachment-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1809\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1809\" title=\"ohc-11-25-08_coffee\" src=\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/ohc-11-25-08_coffee-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"also much needed\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/ohc-11-25-08_coffee-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/ohc-11-25-08_coffee.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1809\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">also much needed<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I took a quick peek outside and saw no snow.  The forecast was for snow today and tomorrow yet we got nothing.  I just looked and now we are only supposed to get snow today and only a dusting.  Jeeze the weather changes too much.  Since I had a little bit of a headache, I wasn&#8217;t hungry right away this morning.  I decided to just start with some coffee and let the hunger come whenever it wanted.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1810\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/ohc-11-25-08_breakfast.jpg\" data-rel=\"attachment-image-2\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1810\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1810\" title=\"ohc-11-25-08_breakfast\" src=\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/ohc-11-25-08_breakfast-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Breakfast\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/ohc-11-25-08_breakfast-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/ohc-11-25-08_breakfast.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1810\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Breakfast<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Eventually my headache subsided and I got a little hungry.
