A Flight East

I’ve had some minor hiccups today. Like the top popping off of my shake in the car and dripping ice cream everywhere.

Or like my steel water bottle rolling off the counter onto the kitchen floor.

Or like the same water bottle falling off my desk and spilling water everywhere.

Or like the small spot that’s still on my red shorts even though I washed them yesterday!

Or like the fact that the wind blew leaf bits and bug corpses and dirt on me at the pool today.

Or how my phone refuses to deliver texts or pictures in a timely fashion.

But ya know… It’s a good day anyway…

Because 11 hours from now, I will be departing Salt Lake Airport heading to Philadelphia to see a special guy…

And he won us tickets to see David Letterman!

I managed to get 6 days’ worth of stuff packed into a carry-on bag and a backpack. As a female, I demand some kind of trophy.



I even got all my liquids into a 1 quart bag. Take that, TSA!



I got a phone call from my eye doctor saying I’m being refunded my $30 copay because I didn’t have to pay one. And I’m expecting a $50 refund from overpaying one of my emergency bills. Score!

I got the new Oz movie for only $10 at RC Willey.

I got full-sized bottles of lotion and body spray in my favorite fragrance (exotic coconut) from Bath and Body Works for only $3 each today! I realized after walking out I should have bought the shower gel too. It would’ve been $9 for all three of them when one bottle of lotion is usually $11.

I decided to try to find a small, travel-sized hair dryer at Target to save space in my suitcase. I found one. It was $18.50. But I also found a Target gift card in my wallet today. So my hair dryer was $8.50. That’s what’s up!

My sister told me earlier that she’s having another baby! She and her husband make cute babies. And s/he is due in February. I demanded that the baby be born on my birthday. EEK! So excited!

I got to work out today at step class at the gym. It was awesome.

I got to make my tan darker, even though I was covered in leaves and dirt and bug carcasses.

And in the next 6 days I get to go to Washington DC and NYC and maybe even Philadelphia! Yay! 

Loving life! Love the summer!

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...
