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.

It's Okay to Be Sad

I'm sitting in my room nursing a 7-up because I ate too much cheese with my dinner. Being lactose sensitive, edging on completely intolerant, totally sucks. Sometimes dairy doesn't bother my stomach too much, but I guess eating cheese on a completely empty stomach wasn't the greatest idea but damn, that artichoke and spinach cheese dip was delicious. Was it worth it in the end? Meh..I could go either way at the moment. I just had a memory pop up of my first swig of raw cow milk. It was delicious and totally didn't make my stomach hurt. Anyhow, at lot has been swirling around my brain as of late. Here is a bullet list of the swirling mess: When I left UVU a little over 10 years ago, my GPA was a 1.95. When I came back in the fall I had to fill out a satisfactory academic progress (SAP) report thing to 1.) get my financial aid released, and 2.) promise to get a C or better for the remainder of my time at UVU. Well, I barely got a D in sociology 1010 class in the fa...

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...

Reasons

So, you remember from the last post when I said things were "a-changin'"? Well, they are. I'm moving to Hillsboro, Oregon. ETA: November 1st, but probably November 4th so I can at least finish the pay period instead of leaving in the middle of it. Anyway, here's a quick list of things I bet you didn't know about Hillsboro: *It's near the ghost town of Idiotville, Oregon. Real place. Wiki or google it. *What Draper, Utah is to SLC is exactly what Hillsboro is unto Portland. Almost the same place. *Has AMAZING parks and waterfalls. *All voting is done by mail. Secretly, I'm a little bummed about not getting a "I voted" sticker. Okay, so I could only really think of 4 things that you might not have known about Hillsboro or the surrounding area. Oregon as a state though, is pretty dang fantastic. I'll finally be able to partake in the Goonie-for-the-day festivities in Astoria. While there are many reasons why I'm moving away, the main rea...
