Posted: 05 Jul 2012 07:12 AM PDT

Happy Thursday! Today feels weird because yesterday felt like the weekend.

I didn't set my alarm last night but luckily still woke up at 6:15am to get the day started! Ben is off to work and I need to figure out some exercise for the day. I was hoping to finally make it to yoga but there are no classes at my level at a good time. Bah.

Okay quick pic recap of my Fourth of July…

Fun…IMG_5520 (800x600)

Fruit desserts are not real dessert, so I added some ice cream to make this feel more legit.IMG_5541 (800x600)

Hello and Happy Fourth of July! katie-holmes-tom-cruise-independence-day-ecards-someecards

Let's back up to yesterday – I made a broccoli salad for today's BBQ. It is basically macaroni salad with broccoli instead of pasta.

I used broccoli instead of macaroni  for three reasons:

1. We have a huge bag of broccoli to use up and it's too hot to roast it.

2. I want to save my carb intake for chips and cookies on the 4th!

3. I considered making a sweet broccoli salad but really wanted hard boiled eggs. I love eggs.IMG_5474 (800x533)

So it's too hot to roast veggies, but it's not too hot to bake cookies. Odd how that works, huh? I made the boxed mix of White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies. Long name, so-so cookies.IMG_5485 (800x533)

But even so-so cookies are pretty good when they are fresh from the oven so I had two three. IMG_5497 (800x533)

This morning I slept in a little and finally peeled out of bed for a run. I wanted to do 8 miles and came in at just about 7.84 which doesn't make any sense since I turned back at 4. Whatev.

I ran in a new direction because I am extremely bored with my usual route. It was nice to change it up. But I felt slow and tired for the first 3 miles. It took me that long to get warmed up!

When I got back I was super thirsty but not hungry at all. Eh. Just an off day.

I ate food for breakfast. Then, I hit up the store for supplies for a Fourth of July flag cakie.

I live 5 minutes from the store and a whole container of raspberries disappeared on the way back. This happens every time I go to the store.IMG_5501 (800x600)

They didn't have those fold out sheets of cookie dough so I had to roll out the dough myself. It was a mess, but I think it was a success!IMG_5510 (800x600)

Actually it was a super success because I had extra dough and made a BIG cookie for myself!IMG_5507 (800x600)

Happy Fourth of July Cookie Eating Party to me!IMG_5513 (600x800)

Now we're headed to my mom's for a BBQ, pool time and fun!

The weather is super mild here so I'm not sure if I'm going to get in the pool. I'm not complaining it's Heaven-dy Two and I love it Smileimage

Have a good one!
