Mood:
Good! I slept like a baby; I’m rested and ready to seize the day.
Tonight:
Cirque du Soleil is in town to perform “Alegria”! We have tickets in the cheap seats (and at $40 each, still not that cheap) but we are excited! We’ve been to two performances before (one in New York and one in Connecticut) but have never seen “Alegria”. The music of this particular show has a lot of meaning to me, as my host family from when I was studying abroad in college in Argentina introduced it to me, and the CD was playing all the time in their house. It was like the soundtrack to Lucas’s and my budding romance!
Food:
Breakfast: I whipped up a batch of oats-to-go for Lucas and me. This is what today’s batch had, serves 2.

-1 and 1/2 cups water
-3/4 cup soymilk
-4 tbs oat bran
-4 tbs Ezekiel Original
-2 tbs dried currants
-2 tbs flaxseeds
-2 tbs agave nectar
My hamstrings are so sore, but I don’t know why!
