Clara’s life is tough…
Don’t you feel bad for her?
I got all ready to head out to the pool and study only to find it was LOCKED!
Such a bummer!
So I came back in, did a couple pages in my GRE book and snacked on an orange to hold me over til lunch:
Yes, I refuse to change out of my suit because I am DETERMINED to go out by the pool at some point today!
After a couple more pages of problems that did pretty much nothing other than make me want to RIP MY HAIR OUT, I got up and prepared a nice protein-packed salad for lunch (I guess protein is the theme of the day)
I shredded up some smoked honey turkey, boiled an egg, diced a couple baby carrots
and sliced an avocado –
I gathered my big old bowl of mixed greens…
Then all that was left to do was combine!
In everything went, one at a time…
Until all that was left was the super creamy, perfectly ripe avocado…
So good it’s almost not fair. Emphasis on almost.
All together now:
A perfect lunch for a hot day!
There are some watermelon slices in the fridge that I may need to break into shortly…that is if and only if I can get over how grossed out I am by THIS:
A COCKROACH!
I haven’t had the guts to move him yet (I HATE bugs!!) but I’m going to try to man up and get it done just so that I don’t have to look at it anymore.
Here’s to hoping the pool is open and the cockroach is gone by the next time I see you!

Lunch looks so amazing!! I don’t eats eggs regularly by themselves (I’ll only eat it if its baked/cooked into something (like a muffin, pancakes) but you’ve got be craving a hard boiled egg.
I’m determined to go out running today, I’m going to put on my workout gear and go! Thanks for the inspiration 🙂
Bugs scare me too!! I always call my brother to come and take them outside. haha
Hope GRE studying gets easier. I took the LSAT (law school admissions test) in October and I studied a lot. So i definitely know how you feel, Its very frustrating.
Now that I have been admitted to law school (I start in August), every moment of studying has paid off. Just keep the image of what you want in your head, and remind yourself why you’re studying. Good Luck!! 🙂
Congrats on being admitted into Law School! That’s a huge accomplishment! 🙂
EEewww I hate bugs. I found one in my kitchen and completely freaked out and cleaned the place head to toe. Eeee, I am literally cringing just thinking about it!
Haha ME TOO! I spent half the morning feeling like it was crawling on me after I trapped it!
What maths is it you’re studying? (I don’t know what the GRE is) I tutor high school level maths – if you need any help, send me an email and I can try and explain something! 🙂
Aw thank you – that’s so sweet of you!
I’m working on all good stuff from high school (geometry, algebra, etc.), I should be okay – just gotta remember how to actually do this stuff!! Haha.
If I can’t though I’ll definitely be hitting you up for help! 🙂
AHHHHH!
Bug extermination is a man’s job. Even the mailman will do.
Hahaha – I AGREE!!
Roaches gross me out!
I always say I want to come back as one of my cats, but Clara has it pretty sweet! Such a rough life these animals have! Good luck getting out to the pool today!
Hahah I know right!? I wish I could live her life! And yeah, I’m with you on the roaches…SOOOO gross!
Keep up the good work on the GRE studying!!! Before you know it, the test will be here and gone and you will do well beyond imagination! 🙂
I hope so!! Thanks for the vote of confidence! 🙂
Cute swimsuit!
Thanks! It’s actually my sister’s 🙂
Awww look at her little sleepy face! 🙂 That salad looks AMAZING!! Pretty much my perfect salad, a few seeds thrown on for crunch and voila! Also URGHHHH at the cockroach… I had my first ever experience with a FLYING cockroach last summer and I damn nearly died of a heart attack!! Cannot stand them! :/ Good luck getting it moved!
Oh my gosh I would have LOST it!! This thing is bad enough – I can’t imagine if it suddenly took air!!
CLARA WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She stinks Shannon. It’s never going to happen.
Clara has it pretty rough. 😉
That salad looks just fantastic. I am actually gonna boil up a couple eggs for lunch this week. May do a salad just like this! 🙂
Haha I know right!? And I definitely recommend doing this salad – it was SO delicious!
omg your puppy! i feel like our dogs would be pals (sorry to link myself but i wanna share Henry!) http://www.watchstuff.info/yarly/?attachment_id=496
He’s SO cute!! And I think he and Clara would definitely be friends!!
Ewww! I saw something scurry away when I opened my dishwasher this afternoon & I thought “dear God please tell me that wasn’t a cockroach!” It quickly disappeared (even though I was scared, I did check to see if it was on the floor or something!) & I hope it doesn’t show it’s face again!
Ahhh! I hope it stay away for good as well! I hate, hate, hate bugs!! I’m such a scaredy cat when it comes to them!
Wow, your salad looks amazing, especially with the avocado and boiled egg!! Hope your studying goes better this evening 🙂
Thank you!!
Math makes me want to pull my hair out EVERY TIME. (Oh except the 3rd grade variety…that I can handle).
Good luck with the studying and that terrifying bug. Then come move to CO – we don’t have cockroaches.
