Thing of note #1:
I woke up this morning. At a reasonable hour. And my hair was not hard to style. That should be noted. Also, I like it now. I am going to flip it out and show you guys the intended style though, so I don’t look like a total diva. Because I know it is cute now. Now being the operative word there.
Thing of note #2:
BREAKFAST was EPIC.
PANCAKES topped with STEWED BLUEBERRIES. I die. This was that good.
Thing of note #3:
Lunch was leftovers, but still good.

Birds-eye view:
Birds must see through yellow tinted glasses.
Thing of note #4:
Both snacks today were fruit.
Orange.
Red.
Thing of note #5:
Dinner before CharlotteOne was my apple/pb sandwich with a twist.
Now with cinnamon + a funky hand view.
THANK YOU JESSE!! Cinnamon adds the most delicious twist.

CharlotteOne [or rather Jarrett Stevens] was right on spot with the message tonight. Almost like the soy latte I had pre-greeting. LOVE was the focus, and LOVE has been what I have been really focusing on with my faith; so it was just perfect for me tonight. Back to the basics…love is always the answer. I’ve been striving to love everyone equally, like God loves everyone.
It was also about greatness. Doing great things for God. With an emphasis on doing.
In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love. – Mother Teresa.
To sum it up, do everything with greatness, because the smallest act done in love is bigger than the greatest thing done without love. God is the one that will do great things with us if we do the smallest things he trusts us with now in great love.

Thing of note #8:
I blew the vegan challenge out of the water on the way home when my sisters wanted to stop at Cookout for milkshakes. Snickers and Mint Chocolate. I sampled both…

aaaaahhhh I know!!! Michael Buble + my birthday. What could be better…
😀 LOVE YOU!
Pancakes are definitely the right way to start the day! And waking up with good hair at a reasonable time- I think that may be my criteria for what kind of a day it shall be 😉
Those pancakes looks amazingly fluffy and yummy!! Perfect pancakes 🙂 Michael Buble?? In Charlotte!!?? I die. I would love to go to that concert. Do you know when the tickets go on sale?
I am researching now. I will let you know for SURE.
Mmm snickers and mint milkshakes! Yummm
jenna
Whit dont feel bad AT ALL about the milkshakes, it’s great that you ate what you wanted with good company!
But keep in mind it’s also super easy to make veganized milkshakes. There are some superp vegan ice creams out there, and you can get super creative with the mixins… even regular Oreos are vegan, surprisingly!
thanks girlllll! I mainly felt bad about blowing my vegan challenge so close to the end. 😦 Boooo.
I need to feel the love and give love more often. Thank you for writing about that.
xo
thing of note 1: rachel zoe would also be proud of your pancakes. actually not of your pancakes but of the way you felt about them
thing of note 2: you’ve been a stellar vegan so a sipple of mint choc heaven still makes you a veganator in my book
thing of note 3: i’m coming to buble for your birthday.
really come. come. come. you can stay on my couch for free!!!!
That breakfast does look pretty epic.
Wow your breakfast just made me hungry all over again girl!!!
LOVE Michael Buble! He came to my town and missed him. 😦 Sadness. Hope you get to go and drool over his beauty! What a wonderful bday present that would be!
I’m so glad you like your hair now, I can’t want to see a good pic!
Yes cinnamon adds such a good twist. I had a ww bagel/pb/apple with cinnamon yesterday for breakfast… heavenly 😦
Ahh Michael Buble for your b-day? So freakin awesome. I may come out an join you, since he is sold out in all the cities near me!
yeesss! All of my fellow buble lovers/bloggers should come!
Stewed blueberries? This isn’t like creamed corn or anything eh? It looks much more appetizing than creamed corn does…
nothing against corn. just maybe cream.
OMG your breakfast!!!!!! Looooove!!
Your things of note post is amazing. And I just caught up on the last post- I love your hair!!
WOW! July 10th is my wedding! Looks like we will both be having dreams come true that day! Your breakfast does look epic, OMG I WANT ❤
your stewed blueberries on pancakes look UNREAL! very cute post as well!
ps. i LOOOOOVED that red dress from your other post: GO BACK AND GET IT
That breakfast looks great! Blueberries plus pancakes equals awesome 🙂
Bad haircuts are the worst. But I looked at the pics you posted and I think yours looks cute! I really do! For me, it takes about 2 weeks for me to figure out a new cut and make it do what I want!
Hope you have a good Wednesday!
So glad you are loving your hair again. Very important. As is remembering that love is what it’s all about. Period.
The pancakes made me swoon. That is for certain.
Those pancakes look amazing!!! WOWEE! Stewed blueberries…how fancy shamcy!
yo homie are those flapjacks frozen or homemade? if they’re homemade send me the recipe NOW!! please 🙂
those pancakes are so baller! tomorrow is national blueberry pancake day so i hope you re-create!
Those pancakes look like something from IHOP. Drool.
I personally LOVE your new hair style!
Completely understand what you went through though – same thing happened to me in April 2008 (I remember the date because it was too traumatic to forget). I cried for 2 days straight and couldn’t stand to get my hair cut again for months!
Chloe
those pancakes really do look epic and WHERE do you get these stewed blueberries?? I guess you could do it by taking frozen bluebs and letting them thaw, they create a ‘stewed’ effect, no? anyways, they look amazing!
snickers milk shake? I don’t know if I could pass that up either…
Gah! I’ve missed so much on your blog!!!!!!! And good for you for having fruit as a snack 🙂 Oh, and what a coincidence that Micheal Buble is coming right near your birthday—> maybe he sensed that you were his biggest fan, and it was just meant to be 😉
Cookout!! I go to school at Wake Forest and live in Albemarle (about 1 hour from Charlotte). I love love love Cookout milkshakes! I haven’t had one in forever, but my best combo would have to be Mint Oreo M&M!
Us North Carolinians are lucky to have it 🙂
Your pancakes look soo good! I just saw “Blueberry Pancakes” throwdown with Bobby Flay on FoodNetwork tonight 🙂
