Hi guys!\u00a0 Sorry I didn’t get this up yesterday but I was too pooped and just wanted to plop on the couch! :D<\/p>\n

Scott and I made it to MT<\/abbr> yesterday and it wasn’t so bad.\u00a0 Even though the building isn’t the warmest, once you get moving around you’re fine.\u00a0 They added some extra carpet which is nice!\u00a0 After class Scott and I had to run to the butcher’s to pick up some chicken for Rocky (40lb box).\u00a0 And then we looked around at some other places to see if anything interested us for lunch.\u00a0 I was craving veggies like crazy but no place really had just straight up veggie dishes that appealed to me.\u00a0 Scott ended up getting sushi and I saw they had fried tofu so I got an order of that.\u00a0 I’m trying to find a place that does fried tofu like The Japanese Oriental Restaurant because theirs was awesome!<\/p>\n

We got home and seperated out the chicken into portions.\u00a0 Cold work!\u00a0 I was already cold from the ride home because the temp was frigid outside!\u00a0 And then handling all that cold chicken didn’t help matters much. :p\u00a0 I so wanted a big huge salad but salads are cold so I passed on that.\u00a0 And we had no soup so that was out.<\/p>\n

\"just

just okay lunch <\/p><\/div>\n

I finally settled on some Amy’s veggie enchiladas.\u00a0 In the middle is the fried tofu and on the side is one sliced carrot and four clementines.\u00a0 I had one enchilada and four of the fried tofu.\u00a0 I love Amy’s enchiladas but can only handle one.\u00a0 It’s too heavy for me to have more than that.\u00a0 The other one I gave to Scott.\u00a0 I ate most of the clems and all of the carrot as well.\u00a0 The fried tofu was just okay, nothing special.\u00a0 The texture was a little too soft for me and I tried not to focus on it otherwise I would have gagged.\u00a0 I wanted something a little firmer.\u00a0 The dipping sauce was amazing though which is why I ate so much tofu!<\/p>\n

After lunch I went back and forth about whether we should hit the grocery store or not.\u00a0 I hate going on the weekend because it’s cra-zay in there.\u00a0 However I didn’t really want to take time out to go Monday.\u00a0 And since it was late (around 4pm by this time) I thought maybe the craziness would be gone and people would be back home by this point.<\/p>\n

Wrong.\u00a0 Good lord it was insane.\u00a0 I talked to the deli folks and our cashier, both of which said it had been crazy nonstop like that since early in the morning. :o\u00a0 They said it was like it was Thanksgiving or something.\u00a0 My guess is that since the weather finally got a good bit above 0F people wanted to get out and get things done.\u00a0 It was still really cold out but tolerable enough to be out in it.\u00a0 I didn’t have any problem getting everything I needed so it was cool.\u00a0 I did want to look at some greens and a stock person was blocking those but other than that I got all my fruits and veggies so I was a happy girl. :D<\/p>\n

Came home and put the groceries away and fed Rocky.\u00a0 Then I was finally able to hit the shower!\u00a0 And it was steaming hot, perfect shower!\u00a0 I started getting hungry for dinner around 7:30ish and decided to put that together while Scott was showering.\u00a0 Oh you know I had a big salad.\u00a0 VEGGIES!<\/p>\n

\"hooray

hooray veggies! <\/p><\/div>\n

In my salad is:<\/p>\n
