Yogurt bowl <\/p><\/div>\n
Even though it was chilly, I wasn’t really feeling the warm breakfast cereal this morning.\u00a0 I had a yogurt mess instead:<\/p>\n
- \n
- 2% Fage<\/li>\n
- Fruit and nut granola<\/li>\n
- Cranberries<\/li>\n
- Frozen raspberries<\/li>\n
- Frozen blueberries<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
With a cup of coffee that I could tell Scott spiked with some extra cinnamon.\u00a0 Mmmmm.\u00a0 Mondays mean laundry, meh.\u00a0 So after showering, I got a load started on its way.\u00a0 I ran Rocks out for his walk because it started clouding over very quickly.\u00a0 We made it home just before it started raining pretty hard.\u00a0 We had some nice thunder for background noise but nothing to write home about.\u00a0 I would love a good kickass thunderstorm!\u00a0 I adore them and love how they rejuvenate the earth.\u00a0 The smell and the way everything looks is gorgeous.<\/p>\n
A few loads of laundry later and it was lunch time.\u00a0 I was starving again!\u00a0 It was still gloomy out and still chilly, which made me want some soup.<\/p>\n

- Kale<\/li>\n
- Banana<\/li>\n
- Cantaloupe<\/li>\n

The Gang <\/p><\/div>\n
There’s also some bread in the back for dipping into hummus or soup.\u00a0 I had 1\/2 a slice of pumpernickel and only 1\/2 my smoothie.\u00a0 This green monster was not tasty today.\u00a0 I think I bought a bad bunch of kale.\u00a0 It’s not a nice dark green color but almost neon green looking.\u00a0 It was all the store had so I bought it.\u00a0 The smoothie almost had an astringent aftertaste to it.\u00a0 Even Scott couldn’t finish his and he has more tolerance than I do.\u00a0 Strange!\u00a0 Guess I’ll be using spinach if the kale is the problem.\u00a0 I’ll have to test it out and see.<\/p>\n
Always a Pens fan!<\/strong><\/p>\n
I’ve been a Pens fan since 1990, that would put me in the 13-14 age range.\u00a0 A very young A!\u00a0 I couldn’t even tell you how I stumbled onto hockey. I think my sister started watching it and then I picked it up too but I can say that from the moment I watched my first game I was hooked!\u00a0 It’s action packed all the time and other sports just seem so boring in comparison.\u00a0 Attending a game is even better!<\/p>\n

<\/a>Hockey Fan! <\/p><\/div>\n
Ta-da!\u00a0 My beloved Jagr jersey.\u00a0 I bought that baby in 1991 with my own money that I had to take out of the bank.\u00a0 I had to get permission from my mom to take the money out because all money I ever got (from birthdays, Christmas, you name it) went right into my savings account.\u00a0 This was to save money for college.\u00a0 That jersey cost me $120, yes that’s right, 120 bucks.<\/p>\n
