What I Love Right Now...

I feel like I've been doing a lot of life summaries these days so I decided to mix it up. Here's some things that I'm really into right now:

1. Good news! I just changed the address of Life in the Fast Layne to mylifeinthefastlayne.blogspot.com. It's the same blog just with a new address that makes a bit more sense.

2. Chicklit, in particular Nicolas Sparks. I know I'm supposed to be in college reading profound novels yada yada but I just like cheesy romance novels.

Sorry Jane Eyre, I just like Nicholas Sparks
3. Powdered peanut butter. So as you may already know, I put peanut butter in my green monster smoothie every morning. It's delicious but peanut butter has almost 100 calories per tablespoon! So, when my friend KC told me about powdered peanut butter I decided to give it a try. I put it in my smoothie this morning and it tasted exactly the same! That means I can cut around 80 calories every day. If you do that math that's 8 pounds in a year!

4. Guacamole. I just recently discovered the deliciousness of avocados (neither one of my parents likes them so we didn't have them much growing up). I just want to put it on everything!

I tried Wholly Guacamole brand but I like Sabra
much better.

5. Olympic fever. I look forward to the Olympics for months. I like the winter Olympics but the summer games are definitely superior. 
6. Coral, turquoise and white. Part of me wants to get excited for fall clothes but I'm still in love with summery colors.

How cute are these! 
7. Tie blouses. I really like this tie in the front trend that's going on. It really gives shirts a shape without being tight.

I really don't need to buy any more
clothes but I wish I could buy this!
8. Local, fresh produce. First of all it's delicious. I mean it doesn't get much better than peaches from a produce stand. And second of all in season produce is really cheap! So go out and get some peaches and zucchini!

9. Cut up t-shirts. I'll give my freshman roommate Haley the credit for this one. I just like buying men's t-shirts and cutting them into tank tops or v-necks.

10. Babysitting. Since I didn't get a job this summer I've been babysitting a lot. Sometimes I'm just really not into babysitting but lately it's been pretty fun. Stay tuned for an end of summer "confessions of a babysitter" post!

11. Grilling new things. Who doesn't like burgers on the grill? But I really want to start grilling weird things like watermelon, pineapple and romaine lettuce.

Grilled watermelon salad.
Grilled strawberry shortcake.


What are you loving right now?

What are you looking forward to in the coming weeks?

11 Things

So one of my favorite blogs Paleorunnergirl just did this post and I thought it would be fun! So here you go: 1. What is your favorite meal? You know…I really just love food. But these days I would have to say crab cakes and broccoli. 2. How many times have you been in love? Zero. 3. What is your Starbuck’s order? I used to work there so this is a very loaded question. Here are my top 5: -Tall soy no water chai light foam -Tall Americano in a Grande cup with extra room (I add 2% milk and equal myself) -Double tall soy latte light foam -Venti iced passion tea 6 shots sugar free vanilla, no classic light water light ice -Tall espresso frappacino, no frappucino roast skim milk no whip  You had no idea how loaded of a question that was! 4. Action/Comedy/Drama/ or Romantic Comedy? Romantic comedies all.the.way.  My favorite romcom. I like them all though! 5. What was your favorite TV show when you were a kid? When I was really little I liked Arthur. 6.

What you didn't know about nursing school

Image
So usually I do a Sunday post but I just didn't have time this weekend! I had an anatomy test at 9 on Monday morning so I basically spent all weekend studying (there was a little time spent watching the super bowl and relaxing with friends.) But since I have been spending so much time doing school work this semester I decided I would give you a glimpse into what it's like! First and foremost the nursing school is really disorganized so we have a Facebook group to keep us sane. Whether it's about anatomy, football tickets or getting a ride somewhere, if you have a question, you post it here for a guaranteed answer. There is also some shenanigans on the nursing Facebook page...a lot of posts like this: U Mich nursing students love cats...and memes And this: That's what happens when your major is almost all girls! Not only are we connected virtually but we have all of our classes together so we're together all the time!  We walk together Off to the

Whining While Working Out

Image
I know I haven't blogged in a while...I do think about it a lot but I haven't had anything exciting to say! I'm still just babysitting and working out. But working out is the key part...I have had some REALLY hard workouts. Sunday (mother's day) I went out intending to run for 70 minutes and by about 45 I thought I was going to die. I mean not really die but I thought about asking someone if I could borrow their phone so I could get a ride home. It. was. awful. I mean I guess this is true...but I was pathetic. Then Monday I reluctantly put on my running shoes but then I looked outside and it was raining and I just decided to do laundry instead. Tuesday I had an okay 40 minutes on the elliptical while watching Sex and the City (thanks for lending it to me Sara!). I also visited my aunt, uncle and 2 cousins so it was a nice day. Me with the newest addition to the family. Then today I decided I would do a hill workout. I ran about a mile to a field that
