I am officially 1/3 of the way to being a fully licensed motorcycle driver.
Because I was out of the house a lot this weekend, I subsisted on a lot of “snacky” foods. The good news was that I thought ahead so had healthier snack foods – containers of cereal, bars, chips (*cough*… maybe not all of them were healthy), trail mix, and fruit. Here are a few pics.
Pumpkin and apple cinnamon oatmeal for breakfast made for a happy me. This was breakfast on Friday and Saturday.
- 1/2 cup oats
- 2 tbsp oat bran
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/3 cup pumpkin
- 1 small chopped apple
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- mucho cinnamon
Oh oatmeal, you are so steamy. McSteamy – fogging up my camera lens.
Hunka hunka burnin love.
I didn’t only subsist on snack foods, though. I had several salads – each of which was a slight variation of this one:
Colorful, no?
Friday night (4:30pm-10pm….. sooooo long) we had the first part of our motorcycle class. This part was in the classroom, while the next two parts (next Saturday and Sunday) will be out on the “range” and we will be actually learning how to ride. That should be interesting.
They told us to bring snacks to the class, as it is so long and there wouldn’t be any food or drinks provided. I brought tons of snackage for S and I to share. He was totally making fun of me as I stocked up the backpack. But he was thanking me once we were halfway through the class and we were starving! Plenty of stuff to eat.
There was trail mix and fruit bars:
Larabars:
Luna bars:
And perhaps a potato chip or two.
Don’t worry, I had a PB&J sandwich for both of us, as well as an apple and baby carrots. Somehow they escaped my camera lens.
Out of the 25 people in the motorcycle class, I was one of only two girls! I was really surprised, but S said that he had expected that. I actually really enjoyed the class – the teacher was nice and funny and it wasn’t nearly as boring as I expected.
At the end of the class, we had to take a written test. There were 50 questions, and we had to get 40 right to pass. I immediately got scared. As soon as somebody tells me there is going to be a test I get scared. It would totally suck to sit through that six hour class and then fail the exam and have to take it again!
Turns out there was no need for me to worry. I was the only person in the class to get every single question right! S missed one and was mad that I beat him
So I’m 1/3 of the way to my license. The easy part is down… now actually learning how to ride!
