Happy Happy

So this ticket to Hawaii thing will probably keep me going until it actually happens. Then actually going to Hawaii will probably keep me going for another year. Chyeah.

My kids are being really good lately considering how boring my class has been in the last couple of days. I try to make it as interesting as possible with my occasionally warped sense of humor, but some classes don't react as well as others, unfortunately.

I've just been in a really good mood lately.

I bought several birthday cards today--there's lots of birthdays in April! And I only have two left to mail. The other is for my roommate.

After work today I went shopping. I ordered a gift online for someone's birthday.

Then I made a stop at five separate stores for my roommate's gift... Cocoa Bean, In-N-Out, and Seagull Book. One of those stops was the dollar store where I got her cute birthday bag (she loves purple, and she never reads my blog so it's OK), and some balloons. The most fun at the dollar store was that I got these ADORABLE head bands. Black and white and pink (purple for my roommate). Look!



I also went to Wal Mart. I had some things I had to get--treats for an Enrichment activity tonight was the main purpose. But it's Wal Mart, so I always get a thousand dollars more things than I needed. I got myself some dark chocolate Reese's because come on, they're so good. And I got Salt & Vinegar kettle cooked Lay's because they're my fave. I got some 5 lb free weights. They are purple. I like them. This means if I don't want to get my bum to the gym in the morning I can do my 30 Day Shred with Jillian for 20 minutes with my free weights. It's a BEAST for shiz. And I got some whey protein powder because I like it better than the Muscle Milk kind I have. And I got those four birthday cards I mentioned. And I got my roommate some Lindor truffles for her birthday. And I got Aussie volumizing shampoo and conditioner that smells so dang good. And I'm so excited for my new glass butter dish. I've looked for one at the dollar store so many times. I just like having soft butter ready to spread when I need it, and I hate that I've had nowhere to put it. So I'm very excited for my butter dish!

When I got home I checked my mail and got a graduation card and check which is sa-weeeeet! I also checked out a new digital cable thingamajig that Comcast is forcing onto us. I set it up, but I can't "activate" it without some number I need from the apartments. But other than that, this genius set it up, and all is ready to go.

I prepared my roommate's cute present. 

Then I got some Joseph Smith CDs by Truman G. Madsen out of my storage unit because I'm aching to get to know him better. I am excited to listen.

Then I put in a new Brita filter in my thingy.

Then I went to Enrichment and had a lesson on budgeting which was super cool.

And now I am home and listening to the American Idol results show in the next room.

So basically I have been non-stop today, and I LOVE it a lot. :)

I need a wireless router, and then I will be ecstatic to connect everywhere in my apartment. :) But I'm not sure how big of a hurry I am in to get it.

Also I love Cocoa Bean cupcakes.


I need to sleep early tonight. I've been coughing for three days now and not sleeping enough. I will go to bed early. I will go to bed early. Self-hypnosis works. I will go to bed early.

Bye now.

Disaster Praxis and Spilled Milk

Image
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...
