P.I.T.A.

Yep, today is going to be a real pain in the (insert expletive for rear end here). Six point five hours of my life is being taken away from me today. Yes, people, I will be stuck in a classroom today for my first aid/cpr/aed re-cert...oh, I am soooo thrilled. After being out of school for almost two years, being confined to a classroom setting for even 2 minutes is torture. This should definitely go well. Who knows if I will even get a lunch break? Of course, food is always the first thing on my mind. So, guess who has snacks prepped? This chick right here.

I took some fresh pita bread...got this from the Greek place down the street and

Bam! Homemade Pita Chips!

Served with two of my faves...Hummus and Tzatziki

I would say that the person who sits next to me today is going to be very, very lucky.

I'm a sharer.
