Fuze Smoothies

When I first started making smoothies at the beginning of the year, I was limited in my vision.

I used frozen mixed fruit from Costco, yogurt, half a banana, and some orange juice. And it was delicious. Every time.

Then I started to switch it up. Instead of orange juice, I wanted to try Banana Colada Fuze.

Oh. That made my smoothies even better.

Then I started switching up the yogurts. Vanilla is great. But so is raspberry. And peach. And lots of other kinds! My smoothies just started getting exciting!

So when they had a 10/$10 deal at Smith's on Fuze drinks a couple months ago, I got lots of different kinds.

Some of them have not been so good. Banana Colada remains my favorite.

But today! Today I tried Strawberry Guava. Oh man. My smoothie is awesome. I can't even type this efficiently because I keep stopping to drink it.

FYI: The Peach Mango one is also good. Tropical Punch is OK. And I've got lots more to try.

Life has been good lately! I finished Stargirl in two days. I read Seedfolks today at the gym. I think I'll be teaching those two, The Giver, and a fourth book (to be determined--Esperanza Rising?) to my seventh graders this next year.

I've been at the gym every day but Sunday. I went to the pool yesterday and got way dark. It's beautiful outside again. I'm going to a free concert tonight--The Decemberists! And found out that Bright Eyes will be playing for free in August. Yeah! Things got rolling with my calling last night, finally, and I am excited!

And many interesting things have been happening... In coming blogs, get ready for: My plunge into Twitter, how not to initiate conversations at the pool, and my brief dumpster dive.

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...
