Movers and Shakers

So, my sister and I finally moved back to Provo. It would seem that neither of us can get enough of Provizzle. We got lucky and found a place that included almost all of the utilities - except gas and electric - and found a roommate off CraigsList who isn't psycho. We are, however, looking for a fourth roommate. So dear readers, if you know of someone who needs a place, let me know.

Anyhow, in the midst of moving everything, buying groceries, and storage bins, I have come to find that I love WinCo. I love that store. Probably more than any other grocery store that I've ever gone to. They've got cheap cheese, Tillamook Vanilla Bean ice cream, 3 pack of popcorn for 78 cents, and my personal favorite - bulk foods. I bought honey, almond butter, 2 different types of flour, pancake mix, biscuit mix, jasmine rice, 3 different kinds of sugar, and a whole bunch of spices that were about 10 times - cheaper than the already bottled stuff at WalMart and Maceys. Seriously, if you loves spices as much as I do, WinCo is the place for you. I bought a pound of salt for less than a dollar. I bought cinnamon for 20 cents. I bought curry for 15 cents. WinCo freaking rocks!

*phew* Enough plugging stores for today. But seriously, go there. I bought a ton of food for cheap.

Well, folks, it's off to the couch I go. I have another hour of babysitting ahead of me and the remote all to myself. Plus, my shirt, undershirt, and the top half of my unmentionables are in the washer right now because it seems that whenever I babysit, I get stuff all over my shirt. Ugh...thank goodness for OxyClean. Love that stuff, too, by the way. =)

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? ...
