Hellooooooo 
How’s your Monday going?
I’m pretty exhausted from the weekend, which was filled with things like Oktoberfesting and keg stands. Probably not the best cure for someone who’s had some kind of lingering cold for almost a month now, but definitely fun nonetheless. Besides, alcohol is sterilizing, right? 
Anyway, a little sleepiness today was worth it for the fun times I had with friends from school, and this cold can bite me.
I got back to Toronto nice and early yesterday to make sure I could start off the work week with some delicious food.
I baked a batch of Bakerella’s chocolate chunk muffins, and took one regular one and one mini one into work for breakfast. They were delicious, and I’m so glad I decided to make a full batch rather than just a half batch. These are gonna disappear pretty quickly
In an effort to make my packed lunches more interesting, I’ve reverted back to bento lunches. Lunch is usually the meal I never look forward to, but when I have a cute bento box waiting for me, I can’t help but be a little excited. The only problem is making them cute always seems to take me forever, so I’m working on cutting down time with some sneaky tricks.
Today’s bento was chicken nuggets with sesame spinach, cherry tomatoes and rice.
With a ketchup + Japanese mayo mix underneath for dipping everything.
I also brought a Chobani and a banana for snacks. Another shipment of yogurt came from our The Great Fundraising Act prize, so I’m basically swimming in yogurt right now. Gotta step up my yogurt-eating!
Dinner wasn’t fancy, but it was something I’ve been craving since Saturday. President’s Choice makes a frozen 7-cheese veggie lasagna that I’ve always loved, and I missed out on getting some on Saturday night at a friend’s house. I couldn’t stop thinking about it, so I got myself one for dinner today. Waiting the hour for it to cook was terrible, because I got home late from work and was super hungry, and even though I ate another muffin while I was watching the clock, my stomach was still growling. When all was said and done, I think I ate about half the lasagna. Just as delicious as I remember
I was thinking about going to the gym (hah), but I was full of lasagna and opted for a relaxing night in instead. The gym will always be there tomorrow, right? I was chilling with a friend while I was watching Jersey Shore and blogging…
…but he (she?) seems to have disappeared while I wasn’t looking. I told them I wouldn’t squish them as long as they didn’t come anywhere near my head or have millions of spider babies, so hopefully that deal is still on because even though I know they’re myths, I don’t want baby spiders growing up in my brain thankyouverymuch.
I’m off to get ready for bed, and hopefully my little spider buddy is doing the same… somewhere that’s not near me.
Spiders: yay or nay?
