Missed My Beauty Sleep

Six hours of sleep is not enough for this girl! I stayed up way too last night, and I am paying for it this morning. I was dragging to say the least, didn’t help that I woke up with a sore throat. I took some Emergency-C and hit the pavement for a slow and steady 3 mile run with the running buddy. I would have crawled right back in to bed if it wasn’t for her.

While I was running I was dreaming of pumpkin and banana bread!

My sweet SIL Michelle sent me a delicious care package this weekend that I have been excited to show all of you!

She also sent me this 1 pound bag of DD coffee, which was right on time because I had ran out the day before!!!

    Today is the last RAW Wednesday and I am going all out!! I am going to try a recipe for dinner from a RAW cookbook I checked out at the Library this week. Or I might just check out Gena’s blog for some ideas:)

    Got to catch the bus, see you this afternoon with a
    marathon packing list!!

    Question: When was the last time you sent someone a care package just because??

    Don't you LOVE how running buddies keep you super accountable? They are the best. In fact...this post inspires me to send a care package to my running buddy, just because!

    I sent my mom some soap that I made, just because. Because I love getting mail and I love sending other people mail!

    I don't think I've ever sent anyone a care package just because. But I should. Nor has anyone sent me one, other than my mother. Love the Cliff and Luna bars.

    Love your oats. Pumpkin is an addition that I'm really enjoying lately.

    what a great variety of bars!

    I just sent my roommate from a different state I care package :-)

    Awesome package! Such yummy goodies! :)

    I am loving your oats mixture this morning. That pumpkin sounds so good right now! Have you ever tried applesauce in your oats? It's one of my favorite additions! I use it where you used pumpkin in this mixture. Definitely give it a try! :)

    Aw, that care package is so nice. I'm a big pumpkin lover, and those oats look great!
    I hope you get a good night's sleep tonight!
