Annual Christmas Inventory

I've gotten into this weird habit over the years of listing everything I got for Christmas (and my birthday). For whatever reason, I enjoy having the inventory.

I got a lot of good stuff this year but was still left wanting. As most of my focus for the past two years has been on exercise, naturally I wanted mostly exercise tools. I wanted a stability ball, yoga mat, sports bras, workout tanks, and workout capris. I also had my heart set on some fashion boots. But I did get the most important exercise tool I wanted--a BodyBugg! I am loving it so far.

So here is my list, starting with what my cute students got me.

  • Hershey special dark giant chocolate bar
  • Tuck Everlasting
  • Coke Zero
  • Dark chocolate and milk chocolate bar with almonds
  • Hard candy caramels
  • Ghirardelli caramel chocolate bar
  • Cookies
  • Pay Day candy bar
  • Winder Farms chocolate chip cookies
  • Mini stocking with chocolates
  • Christmas cards from a few students
I am definitely set on the candy front. Thanks, kiddos!

From Tommie, my roommate:
  • Two workout tanks
  • See’s candy

  • Cupcake kit

 From parents:

  • Harry Potter 7.2
  • Purple robe wraparound thing
  • iPod alarm radio
  • Ninja food processor
  • Bras, underwear
  • Spaghetti strap tanks
  • Capri leggings
  • Laptop sleeve

 In my stocking (didn't all fit, obvs):
  • See’s truffles
  • Snoopy desk calendar (where you change the blocks for the date)
  • Ulta makeup kit
  • Lindor truffles (dark chocolate bag and hazelnut bag)
  • Peanut M&Ms
  • Boot warmers
  • Calendar
  • Nail polish
  • Mascara
  • Candle
  • Bath salts
  • Note pads
  • Teacher ornament
  • Lighter

From Carmen:
  • Christmas décor table set (plates, napkins, napkin rings, etc.)

From Matt:
  • E.L.F. smoky eye makeup kit (I wanted this)
  • Strap perfect (I wanted this too)
  • Lunch at Cafe Rio, a day at The Getty, dinner at P.F. Chang's, Pinkberry twice, etc. 

And I haven't gotten to exchange presents with a few more friends, so there's more to come. 

Overall I have accumulated a large amount of stuff, more than I know what to do with. And somehow spent a half an hour revamping my Amazon wish list. What? My birthday is coming up. 

I've got another blog coming soon: a review of 2012 in which I revisit my failed resolutions and talk about all of the things I didn't accomplish. The tides are changing though folks. I'm ready.

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...
