I’ve kind of been on a spending spree lately.  A lot of it has been necessary stuff, but some hasn’t so I am feeling a little guilty.  S’s birthday is next weekend, and I have bought him a couple things.  I am also planning on taking him gokarting, which has been wanting to do, and that will cost a pretty penny.  I’m going to spend less and try to save for a while now.  Plus the trip to Switzerland is coming up, and I definitely want to be able to spend money there without feeling too guilty.  So now entering penny pinching mode.

This morning I went grocery shopping and got some yummies, including strawberries, angel food cake, cottage cheese, Barney butter, sunflower butter, chocolate dream peanut butter, wasa crisps, and a new flavor of Luna bar I haven’t tried before (white chocolate macadamia nut):

I have been wanting to try Barney Butter and Peanut Butter & Co. peanut butter for a really long time, having read about them both on sooo many blogs.  I actually ordered some Barney Butter off Amazon a few weeks ago, but they had to cancel my order after they placed it because they said they couldn’t get it from the supplier anymore!  I was so sad.  So today when I found it at Nob Hill I was totally excited, even though it was $10 for the jar.  And man, I had some with my dinner… it was worth every penny

Eats for the day included eggbeater omelette for breakfast and turkey salad for lunch.  I ate an entire cantaloupe throughout the course of the day:

Cereal for a snack:

Followed by some wasabi and soy almonds.  I can’t decide whether I like these or not.  I think that I do… I just have to be in the mood for them.  At least I hope I do, because I have a huge bag to get through eventually…

Then was the highlight of my day… the delivery of my new running shoes!

I always get them from Running Warehouse… they have good prices and free two-day shipping.  I got the Mizuno Wave Alchemy (as usual) and can’t wait to wear them for my next run!  As you can see, JB was excited about them too.

Dinner was another old mac and cheese in a cup, some yogurt and more cantaloupe:

Then I broke out the new Barney Butter to try on some Wasa crispbread.  I had one crisp with regular peanut butter, and one crisp with the Barney butter for comparison:

I loved them both, but DAMN, that Barney butter is good!  Fo sheezy!

Dessert was some chocolate Arctic Zero with a crumbled Kashi Happy Trail Mix cookie on top.  And that makes for a happy Raychee!

Now the football game has just ended so it’s time for me to go and do some studying.  I have to turn off ESPN before I hear the word “Farve” one more time tonight and my head explodes.
