A Positive Post

I need to do a three best things because I haven't included it in a blog for a while. I probably will have more than 3.

1. The weather in Utah today. 64° and sunny. I. love. it.

2. VACATION. I get to go home soon, and I have a full agenda which includes the beach, a concert, and In-N-Out, amongst other things. Ohh yeahhh....

3. Time. I get time at work (when I finish coding) to read, read, read! Anything I want! And seeing as I have, oh, 130 books on my "to read" list, I'd say I've got my work cut out for me. I'm going to go check some out in a couple hours right before my final that I can read on the plane and at the airport tomorrow. I need something light or something beautiful, so I'm considering:
The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big, Round Things
The Perks of Being a Wallflower
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

4. Student status. I'm still a student for another year. I get to take bowling and dance this spring. I am super excited for these! Hopefully I'll become a bowling pro.

5. New make-up. I am a Mark rep, and I have to say I believe in my products, ladies and gents. I just got some amazing foundation, some cute eye shadows, great concealer, and other fabulous things.

6. The change in plans. I got taken out of Mt. Nebo Junior High because they lost a full-time position, so I'm going back to Centennial Middle as an intern. Yay for 5 minute drives to work instead of 20! I am so grateful for the extra time this will give me. It makes the gym before work look increasingly possible.

7. Institute. I registered for a Book of Mormon class for the summer. This will be a nice addition to my schedule on Tuesday evenings as Wednesday and Thursdays will be spent on my couch with the talents of the dancers on So You Think You Can Dance. I am excited for BOTH institute and SYTYCD! :)

8. Cleaning checks. OK, so they suck really bad. But they force me to live in a clean apartment, which I enjoy.

9. The internet. I printed out my boarding pass today for my flight tomorrow. Not sure I'd care too much for life without the internet. I can live without automated faucets, but I cannot live without the web.

10. Money. I'm getting my car worked on right now. She's 19 years old, and a champion. But she needs lots of fixin' up--tail lights out, horn not working (this is a travesty for Janae the aggressive driver), etc. Labor and parts will not be cheap on this guy, even with student discounts, so I'm grateful that I can pay for it, even if I do have to work a LOT to make it happen.

Disaster Praxis and Spilled Milk

I never wake up with the expectation that it will be a bad day. I tend to wake up with very few expectations, in fact. I just intend to let things play out however they may and roll with the punches. I'm sure more conscious positive thinking would do me some good, but I am by no means thinking negatively. I got up this morning before my alarm intending to get dressed, eat, and head over to the University of Utah for my reading Praxis . This is a 2-hour long test consisting of 90 multiple choice questions and 3 written responses. Not the way anyone likes to spend her Saturday morning, but it has to be done, ya know?  I've been studying for the past week. I took the practice test last night and didn't do so well on it, but I tried to be confident and hope for the best.  So I ate my granola, yogurt, and mango for breakfast and drove over to the U, prepared with my ticket and #2 pencils. Since I just took another Praxis not too long ago at the same place, I felt OK ...

March GBOMB

Good Zoo pass. We have been to the zoo twice so far this year, and bought our pass on our first visit. AJ has asked to go to the zoo multiple times, but the weather is still spotty. I'm excited for more visits to the zoo. I love how small Hogle zoo is so we can knock it out in a couple of hours. And the pass is nice so we can see whatever we want, and leave and not feel stressed about it. Plus he runs around everywhere. Definitely a worthy investment for us.  This makes me laugh every time Weight lifting. I finished March off strong with the Fitbliss at-home workouts. It's been really fun to get to do new workouts and mix things up. It helps me to challenge myself and feel accomplished that I did a hard thing.  Pelvic floor physical therapy. Honestly, it never is comfortable having medical professionals poke around the private parts. But I've been trying to do some breathing and other things at home that seem to have made a difference for my overall tension and dysfunction....

June in Review

Image
June 1 I woke up around 6:30 and took AJ on a walk. We did breakfast and went grocery shopping. He was really fussy after that because he was tired. Matthew tried to put him down for a nap, but I ended up having to hold him until he fell asleep. It was a busy day of trying to pack up the house to get ready for the contractors on Monday. I did laundry and also cleaned out the bottom of the grill. We went to Joy Luck Chinese restaurant for dinner as a family and then the three of us went to the playground. We gave AJ a bath and did bedtime. Matthew went to the kitchen. I took a bath and wrote my GBOMB.  June 2 AJ and I went on a walk. I moved items from the pantry into my bedroom to get ready for the floors being done. I researched and did some measuring to get some shelves for our entryway closet. I took apart our table. AJ and I ran some errands including going to three furniture stores. AJ took a fall down our cement stairs which was really sad. AJ having the time of his life at L...
