Traipsin' through tha woods.

Well, Easter is officially over.

...which means Easter break has officially begun! *boogie*

(Not meanin' ta rub in in y'all's faces AT ALL. ;] )

And, of course, free time = nature hikes, in Morganland.
That's just how we roll.

But, before I dive into today's escapades, I must first share with you Sat's and yesterday's happenings.
So.

Saturday, Mum thought it'd be a brill idea to go hiking up at Muir Woods (near-ish San Francisco). Because, supposedly, there are lotsa waterfalls there.
And waterfalls are perty indeed.

Well, actually, we saw nary a waterfall.
But! I'll show ya what we DID see.





Didn't see THAT comin', didja?
Yep. I'll bet.
Okaaay. I'll liven things up a bit.

...with 'shrooms!
Glorious 'shrooms.

All the 'shrooms you could want.
AND THEN SOME.

However, one tires of shrooms and flowers after awhile.
So, naturally, I began to bitterly complain about the sad lack of wildlife in the park.

Of course, literally half a minute after the words had left my mouth:

Mum+baby deerz. =]
They were right.there.

Can I take him home?
...PLEASE?

Awwww.

Then they wandered away.
*sniff sniff*

Whilst I was mourning the departure of my deer friends, I stumbled (not literally, jeesh) upon this likkle dude:

Nanner slug sez: NOMNOMNOM.

Unfortunately, he was too busy noshin' his leaf to console me much.
But I got over it pretty quickly.

As you can see here. =]
(I'm not really that white.)


...


(Okay. Mebbe I am.)

Ahh. Such a beauteous day. The woods are so lovely and peaceful. Not to mention the pine-y air smells AMAZING. It felt like home.

Oh! And, as a result of all my recent adventures, I am pleased to annouce:

My baby has officially made it to 100,000 miles without falling apart!
Despite my...fabulous driving skills. ;]

Whootwhoot!
So thar be the end of my Saturday reportings.

As for yesterday...urgh.

ED reared his butt-ugly head bright and early, and stayed with me the entire.day.

(POSSIBLE TRIGGER WARNING)

It's strange. I'm only ~15lbs heavier than my hospitalization weight. Don't get me wrong - it's been a lot of hard work to gain, and I've seen some significant mental and physical improvement because of it.
But ED will not let me forget how incredibly easy it would be to slip right back down there again.
It's less than a month of starving, really.

And I'll be honest. It's tempting.

I still miss it. I miss feeling small and fragile. I miss the strange, dazed euphoria I got from running on empty. I miss my cheekbones, collarbones, hipbones...the gap between my thighs. And, minus the force-feeding, I somehow miss how safe I felt in my hospital bed.

But now, reading that back to myself turns my stomach. That's not who I want to be. I don't want those to be my goals.
I have bigger fish to fry.

(Pun intended.)

So I'll keep on keepin' on. Because going back is not.worth.it.

Alright. Spiel now over.
Back to the eaties!

Starting with Easter mornin' loot. =D

Canday!
*Morgan's sweet tooth celebrates*

I was also gifted two boxes of Peeps <-- Absolute FAV.
Nomz indeed.

Oop. I really only have a pitchur of brekkie, since all the rest of the day's eats were unplanned.
But I consider that a positive!

DIE ED ROUTINE.
DIE.

Waffle smothered in honey, butter, and apricot jamz, Activia+golden raspberries, and lavendar chai.
...*swoon*

Methinks I'm finally getting better at this spontaneous thingamadoodle. It began with a random cookie noshed at Kevin's family Easter party, and continued well into today.
Let's see if I can keep it up..

Alrighty. Movin' on to today!
(Sorry for the ginormous postie, here. My life is just too exciting - hur hur.)

Since Kev is off having a testosterone fest with his buds (translation: Death Valley road trip), and break = no school, I've decided to keep myself busy AMAP for the next few days.

And today, that meant hiking Rancho San Antonio with my most favoritest Chanel!

This was mostly just to spite the fact that we used to have to RUN the whole damn park for cross country practice.
Muhaha.

So. Moah wildlife sightings:

Meet Eduardo, the model lizard.
I swear he was posing for me.

And it ain't California without sum quail!
Daw. They luff each other. =]

Upon arrival home, Chanel and I curled up with some white-choco-raspberry ice cream, topped with caramel sauce. And watched The Matrix.

Because it's the essential girly movie.

Be jealous of our kewlness.

Afterwards, we trekked across town in search of guinea pigs. Because I'm lonely and need something to cuddle (but that I can carry off with me to la universidad).

But alas! Thar be a guinea pig shortage here in SJ. =[

LAME.

Still, never fear - the hunt is not yet over.

Oh boy.
Again, apologies for the epically long post..Although I'm afraid I won't be updating too often this week, so it's gotta last. ;]

Jeesh. It's late, now. Methinks reading in bed sounds dandy. So..

'Night, m'loves!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Edit: Because I'm a dork and I forget EVERYTHANG!
Well. Two things, actually.

A) Yesterday, the stunning Sophia (and a few others - thank you m'dears!) tagged me with this sucker:

FRIENDS… comes with the following description to be added & passed along: “These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated.” It also says : “Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.”

Awards always make me feel so giddy and happy. You girls rock mah fuzzy liddle socks - thank you!
Since it's been going around awhile, I think most of y'all have already been tagged. So I've decided to pass it on to ALL of your beautiful selves. Because the statement above stands true for all of you. =]

B) I forgot to mention that I have FINALLY tried PB+oats.
Oh.mi.gaw.

Proof:

Word from the wise: pair it with blueberry yoggie.
It is HEAVEN, I tell you.

Before I began blogging, I would never have had the guts to try new things like this.
But in a few short months, I feel like I've come farther than I ever did in 6 months of OP treatment.

So, once again, a million thanks to all of you. Your support truly means the world.

Okay. NOW bedtime. =]
