seriously sirius

Yep, two thankful times this week.


Yesterday, I drove my dad's fancy schmancy Jeep from St. Louis to Chicago.  In case you don't know this about me... I don't like to drive.  Especially not for hours.


I started out in St. Louis where it was 90°.  As I drove along with the windows down, I just kept wishing I could listen to a Cardinals game.  Perfect weather.  (We're sooo close... Wednesday's opening day!)


After asking Dad to find my old cds from high school (which he did... I have no idea how) I realized he has Sirius in his car.  Wow!  Then even better than that... I found my station!  36.. 39.  Not sure.  One of those.  It was perfect!

I got back to Chicago around 7 at 50°.  Yeah, the temperature dropped the entire ride.


Then this was the icing on the cake...
There is never parking on my street.  As I turned on to it, I thought, 'Ok Lisa, it's time to be patient and look.'  Then, just as I neared my apartment a guy turned on his car to pull out.  Oh, you bet I backed down the one-way street and grabbed that spot.


Thank you, sir, for giving me a parking spot AND I didn't even have to parallel park.
Thank you, Jeep, for having Sirius for my entertainment.  I had no idea how wonderful you are.
Thank you, Dad, for letting me borrow your loved Jeep for the week.

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!
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

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
