Errands

I usually enjoy errands because it gets me out and about. But I usually need an hour or two do do them. Just because there are lots of traffic lights, long lines in stores, people take forever checking out.

TODAY: I ran 3 errands to the vets, walmart and jamba juice and got home within 40 min! Amazing. Since walmart usually takes forever to check out, and the vet's office is way the heck out there.

I am pumped! The little victories are what keep me going these days.

Slow

I have noticed this past week (since my bike has broken) that I have been walking slower than I normally do. I am not sure if its because its nice outside and I want to enjoy the lovely weather.

SharkWeek

I have been doing all sorts of things to keep my spirit up these last few weeks this week is my own personal sharkweek.

Fun facts I just learned:

Sharks kill 5 people each year.

Peanuts: 100
Tigers and elephants: 100
execution: 2,400
illegal drugs: 22,000
road accidents: 1,200,000
starvation: 8,000,000

Interesting huh?

Sunburnt

I never get sunburnt. I got sunburnt this weekend from the track meet, I hate sunburns. I have been sleeping on my stomach for the past few days. I hate it. It hurts.

But today was a win day all around.

I'm a baby

I tend to be a bit of baby when I am sick. I love having people take care of me.
I think part of my babyness comes from when I am sick at home my parents let me be a baby, and wait on me hand and foot. I think they part love it since they can overly spoil me with goodies, and take extra special care of me, and have their little baby girl back. I am pretty independent and hardly ever want their help, but when I am sick I gladly take it.
But the times I have gotten sick at school usually Robbie is the one who gets me food or medicine, but normally I am on my own to keep myself busy and company. Today my wonderful Jeff was my care taker, he spent maybe 7 hours over here in the sick zone watching movies with me, and just keeping me company. I must also though give a shout out to Robbie who got me lunch and a smoothie later, he never can spend time around me when I am sick in case he catches it.

can't remember anything good...

I was talking to Erica last week about being single. I was trying to think of all the good things about being single. I could not think of any. I said "I just love being with Jeff so much I can not think of any thing good about not having him"

Italia

Erica, la mia mama, e io stiamo andano a Italia.

Arrivederci Texas!

Ciao Italia!

Sweet potatoes and Sprouts

I grew up not liking sweet potatoes. Why? probably because I loved regular potatoes above most things in the world. But can you blame me? The french fries in switzerland were out of this world. Like they just belong on a whole different level than stupid american french fires. But I always would eat a few bites and be like ehhh, I'm done. My mom would have to make 3 sweet potatoes for dinner and one regular. Way to be awesome mom! If I knew people put marshmallows on sweet potatoes, it might have leveled the potato playing field for me. Of coarse the marshmallow to sweet potato ratio would be large, but I would at least have eaten them. I have to confess I did not people put marshmallows on sweet potatoes until I came to Texas. =)
But I just started forcing myself to eat them more and more, because I knew they were good for me. Finally now I LOVE them!


Sprouts.

I am not super crazy about the taste, but i like the texture and think its fun to eat weeds. =)
I am forcing myself to like them, just like sweet potatoes
