What a week...

Wow. Let me just say I am so glad this week is over. It has been laid back and crazy and exciting and spontaneous and heartbreaking. My Friday classes were cancelled, so I'm sitting in my pajamas and spending the day with my family at home. This week, I've tried some gluten free products that were so delicious! This post is full of food, so prepare yourself! I have included some photo highlights of my week. 

Sunday: I took a trip to Walmart in search of their new gluten
free products. I never go to Walmart. I exclusively shop
at HEB; however, I may have to start taking these trips more
often. OH My GOSH. These are delicious. I'd be lying if I
said these lasted a week in our house. Between my brothers
and I, these were gone in a few days. So so tasty. They remind
me of the days when I could eat oreos and I will definitely
be buying more in the future. Great texture, great taste,
and the perfect amount of creme in the middle. 

Monday: With a long day spent on campus, I packed
both lunch and a late snack to hold me over before dinner.
It consisted of grapefruit, activia, Cherubs, Gluten free
oreos, a variety of cheese slices, apple sauce, a turkey
sandwich, and an apple. My lunch normally consists of a
variety of these items & I also like to use my Thermos to keep
my food hot. 

Tuesday: Lunch from Jason's Deli during a meeting. Wow.
I hadn't had Jason's Deli until this day and it was so good! I
will definitely start grabbing lunch from there. My professors
have been trying so hard to have gluten free food for me at
each meeting, but there are usually mistakes in the order
which have caused me to not be able to eat them. I was so
happy that it worked out and that my gluten free meal
was so delicious. It came with the sandwich, chips, and
some fresh fruit with fruit dip. YUM! :)

Wednesday: It's the season of being thankful &
giving to others. My Child Development
professor assigned us a "Random Act of Kindness"
assignment and I was so happy that she did. How
awesome is it to have a professor that is
encouraging their students to spread kindness?!
I left a gift card on a table in the Library and
studied as I waited for someone to find the
gift card. When I wasn't paying attention,
someone came across the gift card and left before
I noticed. I hope they ran down to the Starbucks and
enjoyed coffee on me. I think this is something I will
start doing more often. Not just Starbucks, but just
spreading more kindness on campus and in public.

Thursday: It rained ALL DAY LONG.
I made the best of it by taking a trip to
Fuego to enjoy my favorite taco. My
mom and I spontaneously purchased
tickets to see Sister Act the Musical. :)
I probably stood out like a sore thumb as
I walked into the theatre sporting my
rain boots, rain jacket, leggings, and
a t-shirt. You'd think I would care, and
most days I would; however, with being on
campus, all day, in the rain, I was so happy to
just sit down and watch a musical with
my mom. So fun! So good! I enjoy sharing
these memories with my best friend/mom.

Friday: The past few days have been rough for our
family, so my mom spent yesterday cooking her chili
and made some gluten free cornbread. This chili
is the only chili I will eat and the gluten free
corn bread has become a family favorite.  I'll be
spending my day in my pajamas, eating chili and
corn bread. :) I will definitely have to post
her recipe soon.
