It is effing cold in this library!!

I am currently hiding out in the UMD library before my 4:30 class. It is seriously as cold in here as it is outside.

Yesterday, I didn't get the urge to snack, so I had a big mug of tea:

I also didn't want to spoil my appetite because we were going to Franklin's for dinner! I really like Franklins; it has a cool decor, a neat souvenir/liquor store, some exoctic food, and good drafts.

Before we went to dinner, we met one of our good friends, Paul, at the Cornerstone for happy hour. Paul just moved back to the area after working in Michigan for a while, so we were really excited to see him!

I had some WEAK vodka tonics, while the boys tried different drafts:

We also ordered some appetizers. Kyle wanted mozzarella sticks, and I wanted fries so we ordered both:

We had no clue the mozzarella sticks would come with fries, too! Oh, well. I had a little less than half of my steak fries, and a bite of a mozzarella stick. Kyle took care of everything else :-)

After happy hour, sadly we didn't go to Franklin's :-(. Kyle was full from our appetizers, so we headed back to the house. But almost as soon as we got home Kyle was ready to eat. So, we had (what else?) Chipotle. It was a lot closer than other places, and given that it was almost 9 our options were limited. Hopefully I'll get to Franklin's soon!

Sorry for lack of photo... I forgot to grab my camera. I had a bol with black beans, steak, tomatoes, and corn. No rice. And a water on the side.

Waking up today and checking the weather, it looks like a HUGE storm is coming to the area again tomorrow (12-30 inches!), so I wanted to make sure I got to the gym today and (hopefully) tomorrow in case we get snowed in this weekend.

I did 20 on the elliptical, and 3o on the bike while I read for class. Before the gym I had a piece of Tuscan toast with a little bit of butter:

It wasn't super filling, so when I was done working out I had an early lunch at 11:15:

A piece of tuscan bread with spicy hummus, bruschetta, and spinach with a banana on the side. Sooooo good! The spicy hummus and bruschetta are perfect together. I with I had made a whole sandwich, though.

At the library, I am currently snacking on a bag of TJ's trail mix:

Yum. Yes, it's against the rules but I figure if the librarians don't feel the need to observe the quiet rule here, then I can eat dried fruit and nuts on my own photocopies. Hrrmph!

What to do before class; read for my seminar paper or catch up with online TV episodes.... hmm, I wonder!
