R.I.P Shirley Temple

Andrew told me this morning that Shirley Temple passed away. This makes me very sad because I grew up watching her movies. Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm was always one of my favorites because, duh, she had my name in that one.

R.I.P. Shirley. You were such a big part of my childhood and I will always remember watching your movies and enjoying your beautiful smiling face.

Foodie Food:
Well, we all know yesterday was kind of a disaster since I drowned myself in Girl Scout Cookies. The Peanut Butter Patties are evil. I ate 21PP worth of cookies. TWENTY-ONE. Needless to say, my cookie monster craved binge is over and I am cookie free as of yesterday afternoon. Andrew was instructed to hide the ones we have at home and the ones here at work are safely put where the guys will eat them. I made sure that I prepared food last night for today so I wouldn't be rushing around and packing unhealthy things in the morning. It is a good thing I did too... because I had SEVEN PILES of Walter poop to clean up this morning. Poor thing has eaten something that has upset his stomach and now he has the runs.... :( I had a crappy morning. Ha. Get it? Crappy? Ok.....

Last night I tried a Zumba video for the first time. I got about 30 minutes in and was wheezing so I figured I'd call it quits there and see how much farther I can work up to next time. Zumba is no joke. I think I burned more calories just messing up than actually doing the damn routine....

Today's Menu:
B: Mocha Overnight Oatmeal, Earl Grey Tea
S: String Cheese
L: Jar Salad made with homemade dressing, cucumber, bell pepper, quinoa, and lettuce, Chobani Flip Yogurt, Kiwi
S: PB&J Quest Bar
D: Pasta (one serving, I swear it), with tofu and a veggie of some sort
Activity: Power Walk DVD

I felt good after exercising yesterday and knew it is what I needed to bump up my energy. After I exercised I showered, dried my hair, and put on layers of lotion. I am so tired of this dry air.... seriously... and then I just lounged around waiting for Andrew to get back from class. We watched a little bit of The Lord of the Rings with the Rifftrax and then called it quits around 10:00 to go to bed. It was a nice night. We will probably finish watching the movie tonight after dinner and exercise.

I♥Loose Leaf Tea
Our mall recently got a Teavana store. I have been once and it was amazing. I could spend all day in there looking at all of the different tea pots, cups, serving sets, and teas. I had purchased the Youthberry Tea with some Wile Orange Blossom tea mixed in, some cute tea cups, and I also picked up some German Rock Sugar. I have been drinking this tea a lot and last night when I posted this picture on Instagram:

A company called Par Avion Tea liked it. 

Well, since I am a tea lover I had to check this place out and oh my gosh! They sell some of the most amazing sounding teas. I want to order some really badly but will wait until I am done with my Youthberry tea. However, you can sign up for three free samples of tea and I suggest you do it if you have a strainer and love tea as much as I do! 

The ones I really want to buy are: Toasted Almond Cookie, Fifty Shades of Earl Grey, and the Madagascar Vanilla Bean. 

I think the first one I order will be the toasted almond cookie. I have plenty of Earl Grey tea bags right now to last me. Oh, and people always aske me where I got my tea strainer pot because it was so cheap... I got it from Avon believe it or not. They sometimes sell the pots and individual cup size tea strainers. So, if you know someone that sells Avon and want a strainer... check it out! They work really well and are much cheaper than what a lot of stores sell them for!
