Baltimore Lovin'

I have to admit that I never really appreciated what the Baltimore area has to offer until I left for Michigan. So, since I've been home I've been taking advantage of it all.

First and foremost, I had steamed crabs this Saturday. I haven't had them in almost a year. They were delicious as always even though the company was slightly sub par. Also, we picked the extra crabs so we could have crab omelets on Sunday morning.



After the crab feast I went on a nice run by my Dad's house. It was sunny but not too hot and the farms were beautiful.

I mean it doesn't really get better than that.



Speaking of runs, I ran on the NCR trail today which for those of you don't know is a really nice trail in Maryland and Pennsylvania. It is pretty flat in the Southern part (where I run) which makes it really easy to hit my splits for my runs. Today, it was POURING rain which was nice because it wasn't hot but I felt like a drowned rat when I was done.

Wednesday my family is going to an Orioles game. Camden Yards is always a fun place to go but since the Orioles are doing so well this season, hopefully it will be a good game.



Then, this Friday I will be going to one of my favorite places: my grandmother's cabin at Deep Creek Lake. It will be nice to spend the weekend there with my Aunt, Uncle, cousins and grandmother.

Hopefully we have good weather for the weekend!
So, in the 3 weeks that I've been home I've soaked up lots of Baltimoreness.

What's your favorite thing about your home town?

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.

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

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
