yummy in my tummy

So, I just had the best tasting rice, veggie, potato blend veggie crisp ever! Seriously. Good stuff. It's called Flat Earth and the flavor of the day is tangy tomato ranch. Really yummy people. I'm usually not a huge fan of baked veggie crisps, but the flavor was better than anything I've ever tasted. I'd take a picture of the now empty bag, but I don't have my camera with me today.

Anyway, in other news, my sister is moving today. Kind of bummed, not gonna lie. But she's only in the next state. A mere 4 hour drive. Uh...yeah. I was just informed that I inherited all her spices. Don't know if I should be excited or not seeing as my roommate already has a ton of spices that I've been using. Our supply will probably be doubled with the stash that my sister passed on to me.

Uh...there was something else that I wanted to post about but it has conveniently slipped my mind. Hm...oh! I bought a new pair of earrings from this place called The Coal Umbrella here in Provizzle. Really cool vintage store with no air conditioning. Even if it was edging on uncomfortably hot, I scored a pair of cute little red earrings. Now I just have to find something that will go with my new found treasure. They also have a bunch of really cool vinyls. I totally wanted to buy some, but alas, I don't have a record player. So I bought a record for my brother instead. I didn't get him anything for his birthday, so this pretty cheap vinyl was a major brownie point scorer for me. It was a good 7 bucks cheaper than the same album in cd form. I like the store and I like the fact that it saved me some money. :-)

Bought 2 pairs of shoes as well. I went to the DI in American Fork to get supplies to make a replica of an earring holder out of a old Manilow record and I passed by the shoes and lo and behold, a perfectly new pair of tan suede Vans. Normally, I wouldn't buy shoes from a secondhand store because of my fear of contracting some weird foot fungus, but these had never ever been worn outside much less inside. I got them for a mere 5 bucks when normally they're 50 bucks or more. Also bought a pair of American Eagle shoes from Payless last night. I thought they'd be comfortable to wear all day, but I was wrong. They look like Mary Janes except of a leather strap and buckle, it's a connected to the shoe on both sides piece of elastic. Forgetting that feet swell through out the day, the elastic strap wasn't letting the blood flow quite as much as I wanted it to to my toes. Needless to say my feet looked a little weird after I took them off. I was assured, though, that the elastic strap will stretch so that it won't do that anymore. I just hope it's sooner than later because i really like them and I'd hate to have to give them away just because my feet swell...

Anyhow, its almost time for me to go home. It's been a long long day and I'm tired of having to deal with people.

Toodles.

Late...As Usual

So, turns out that I'm not so great at posting on here as I once was. I was even late to post my once yearly Dear Mom post. I really have no excuses other than I've been out of school for almost 3 weeks now since I started going full-time in January. I'm pretty sure the last time I posted anything was in October of last year. Anyway, let's play catch up! I started school full-time in January at BYU-Idaho's online program. I completed 28 credits this year. I'm ready for a break. The accreditation for the public health degree program changed but the changes only apply for the on-campus students and not the online students - aka me. So I'm going to have to transfer schools...again. I've been looking at grad programs in Portland, Oregon. Portland calls my name at least once a year, and I always research reasons to move back. The first time I moved there I was under prepared. I moved with the wrong person. When I move back, I'll be done with school...

A Healthy Start

So, you know when the beginning of the new year rolls around and you recommit yourself to begin a healthier lifestyle and then you kind of crash and burn somewhere around the end of the month? Yeah...I've been there. Like every year of my my twenties. For some reason, the closer I get to turning 32 - yikes! when did that happen??? - the more I think about where I want my life to go, what I want to do, who I want to be...you get the point. Almost a week ago, I started exercising every day with just one rest day a week. Today - Saturday - is my rest day. It also is my sugar day. Anyhow, last Sunday I was sitting in my room perusing Pinterest. I was coming off a graveyard shift sleep the daylight hours away stint and I was bored. I said to myself, "You should do something healthy today. You've slept all day and have energy to burn." Somehow I ended up on this wall exercise chart thing on a friend's board and I thought, I can do this. It's quiet. I won't wake...

New Things

So, I haven't made a public announcement, but I got a job T H R E E weeks ago. I've been gainfully employed for just over 3 weeks ago. I love working. I love having a job. I love being able to buy the stupid things like toothpaste and shampoo, because really? Since I can buy the stupid silly things that people need to function, means that I can start saving, pay tithing, go grocery shopping. Also, since I work for a certain Church funded company, I also get to go to school. For free. Then, after I'm done doing the program that I've been interested in, since forever, I get to go to Weber and finish my bachelor's degree the debt free way. Awesome, right? It is. It's also a lot of work because since the Church is all about self-reliance and what not, I have to do the work all myself which means that I have to find the motivation to go to 2 night classes a week to get to the point where I can finish my bachelor's without going into more debt. But you know what? ...
