The Lucky One, Dress Fitting, and Pancakes

Good morning, and happy Wednesday everyone!

Waking up this morning I planned on taking care of my 6 miles for the day, but the little monster on my shoulder talked me into an afternoon run. So instead of running I .....made Pancakes!!

-Being a college student I have recently learned the importance of having a box of pancake mix on your shelf.  A box itself lasts forever, or as Steph would say "You get a lot of bang for your buck!"  And not only that but who doesn't just love a good pancake?


Over time I have gotten a bit creative with my pancakes adding all sorts of different ingredients.  Today I made a pretty basic (for me) oatmeal and cinnamon pancake!....and later I added banana
I reealllyyy wanted to add peanut butter also but I held back, I love pb but it really shouldn't be eaten very much (though it does make everything better!) 

I like mine pretty thick, this makes them slightly doughy also!

I put the bananas in while they were cooking, not bad but I didn't particularly love the the taste or texture of cooked bananas so I probably would just eat them on the side next time. 

Yesterday was jam packed with things going on, but started with a nice mile repeat workout :)...

Mile Repeats Workout:6x mile @ 5:40-35 w/ 2:30 recovery
2 mile warm-up
Mile 1)5:36
2)5:39

I was very happy with the workout, best mile repeats to date!

At ten I had an interview with the Registrars office on campus for a Graduate Assistant position!
Here is my interview outfit....
This is mainly because I know Mom would want to see this :)

After the interview, and having to run back and forth from different departments on campus for paperwork I met up with Adam in the library.  He was studying so I had a few minutes to read my book that checked out a few days ago...The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks  
-I saw that this book was coming to video, so I figured I needed to read it before!
Here is the video of the trailer:  

After the library Adam and I grabbed a bite to eat in the UC and then I headed off to Lufkin to ....Try on my Wedding Dress!!
Last week my dress came in and yesterday I finally got to try on MY dress.  It was so wonderful finally putting on the dress that is yours and not a random sample dress.  It was beautiful and perfect and I absolutely love it!

Afterwards I drove home and then had an ASAP (working on campus) Training followed by a quick dinner and then my first on campus class of the semester Ancient History with Dr. Dahmas, were I learned I would be writing a paper..every week. (Its only 3 pages not that bad!)

Well off to the rest of the day, working the basketball game tonight, should be fun! 
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
