what a roller coaster of a day

reminds me of just a ride...a little. anyway


i start out almost not going to the gym...don't worry friends. i went. i get so tired when i don't go.

up


then the walk to the bus includes cranking up the volume of my music. we know what that means. i don't wanna go...

i started reading Morning Glory yesterday evening because i like to read books before their movie. Super easy read, super chick read, and it was exactly what i needed right now. i was riding along on the el (super cramped this morning) and it was the fastest el ride yet. i was totally laughing. bad? maybe. people were staring. if i read Me Talk Pretty One Day again, I bet i could beat it, but i was definitely a little like a crazy.

super de duper read. i finished it. ready for the movie (which is released march 8).

up


then i got to work and i just don't know. one of my co-workers was making it tough to enjoy her company. i don't know if she was off to a bad start or stressed or what. she made it sound like the fact that i was suddenly expected to give my first full tour today (which i was told would be happening friday) somehow was a tough situation for her. really? well, i'm sorry. that was a down part.

i went to the bathroom and took a few breaths and decided she was not going to bring me down when i had to go out there and be interesting to a group of 30+ 4th graders. not happening.

and it went fine.

up


i discovered i was sore from yesterday in the afternoon. definite up.

went to the wonderful place my friend and i selected for dinner and drinks (they have a great ladies night special) to find it was closed for an unknown reason today

down


while waiting for my friend to get out of class ran into a really sweet girl i was at depaul with.

up


ended up having a lovely dinner and catch-up session anyway

up

up

Kitchen Safety

We moved!  We're in our new place and we just got wifi.  Wahoo! I definitely broke in the kitchen quickly.  I was making a panini type sandwich for a potluck get together so I preheated the oven.  The next thing I knew the fire alarm was going off.  Let me tell you they did not skimp on a very loud fire alarm.  Ahhhhhhhh I opened the oven, which I know you're not supposed to do.  In the moment, I think I needed to see what I was dealing with.  There were definite flames.  Ahhhhhhhh So I called Mike while trying to google what to do.  He was super calm the entire call while I freaked out (it probably helped that he couldn't see the smoke billowing out of the oven).   He said to throw baking soda on it.  I did.  It seemed to fizzle but came back. I searched the apartment for a fire extinguisher (maybe I should have looked for one before this moment). This is while I kept trying to silence the fire alarm (to no avail) and open windows to let out smoke. Then Mike
I have a few things to update on today =) Oh I just finished the best meal I've had since I arrived and it was oh sooooo good! I'm so full and happy right now! It was a mexican meal so at least i know i'm going to the right country. yesterday Tere asked me to lead a little yoga class. automatically i said yes because that's how i am, but on the walk from the classroom to outside i started to get nervous. the only person i ever lead in yoga was karen & she laughed the majority of the time (it doesn't really count). i just took deep breaths and i did it. it actually was great. once we started i was able to integrate some favorite posses of the people in the class it was great towards the end when marcelle (who is rather soft spoken, but i love her) lead a few poses as well. i was actually happy with myself. namaste i love our group. everyone is similar that we all have this interest to do missionary work, but we are all very unique and different at the s

Spring!

Yes, I know it is not spring yet.   Today's the meteorological beginning of spring or something, isn't it? I definitely suffered some winter blues last month (yeah, it's March!). Check out these tulip fields for your Friday! Normann Szkop  took awesome photos while flying over Dutch  tulip fields . ( via ) p.s. Two days later I'm still feeling amazing after my juice cleanse .  Yes, it's possible that's not what it's from, but considering nothing else has really changed (except starting a new month, which I am so excited about), it's getting the credit. HAPPY FRIDAY & HAPPY MARCH!
