Cereal...Yummy

One of my favorite cereals is Kashi blueberries.

The other day while I was eating my cereal I was thinking to myself about how Froot Loops should have the Lucky Charm marshmallows. Well to my surprise Matt came home with a box of Froot Loops that had marshmallows. 1) He didn't even know I had been thinking that. 2) Who knew that Froot Loops with marshmallows had already been created.

Life

Life has been great! I have been with work, school and wedding planning... as usual. This weekend I have the weekend off. Yay for me! I had to take an exam yesterday. So I spent most of the day studying since I didn't really get the chance to do it before then. It is never to have to cram my studying the same day. But I guess it is better than no studying. After my exam, Matt and I went to Carthage to watch Zack perform with his band and Charissa. So that pretty much sums up what I have been doing.

I love my new job. An actual schedule, great pay, wonderful benefits, nice people it couldn't get any better. Well guess if they wanted to give me a million dollars that would be cool. But anyways hopefully they like me. I work all next week except for Thursday, which works out good because that's when I try my dress on again. The dogs also get groomed that day.

Another plus, my summer classes are almost over. Yay for me! Then I have to put together my portfolio so that I can apply for the next portion of the dietetics program. I also need to fit some orientation modules (part of the new job) in there as well.

Other than that nothing much is going. I did get to see a friend that I had not seen in a long time on Wednesday. It was so nice!... even if it was for only a few quick minutes.

Orientation

Life is good! I started my new job on Monday! It's a lot of fun! The people are nice too. It's a wonderful change from the condos. Hopefully everyone at my new job likes me. And I hope they think I'm doing a good job too. Anyways, I get a lot of perks for working with Great River Health Systems. It is really sweet. Anyways, now that orientation is over it will be easier (not that it was hard)... but I won't have to go from the hospital to the Klein Center.

I had to do my wellness test on Tuesday at 7:20 a.m. So I got up at 4:30 a.m., got ready and headed to Burlington. My levels were good except they said my body fat percentage was under normal levels. They must of done something wrong. LOL. Anyways, since we had to fast they gave us a voucher for the cafeteria. Maybe I was too tired to eat or something because I didn't get a whole lot to eat. In fact, the cashier is like oh honey you can spend four dollars with this voucher. Would you like to go back and get something else? I'm like nah. I probably should of though because by the time noon came around I was a hungry hippo. Knowing that I would be at the Klein Center for the afternoon I stopped at McDonald's on my way over. Not the healthiest choice but it was on the way and I didn't want to waste time. Well that didn't work out so well. It took them forever to get me my meal. The lady was really nice and for the wait she gave me two coupons to go back. Well point of the story is it made be run behind getting to the Klein Center. I'm sure I looked crazy running in with all of my stuff. Plus thanks to no air in my car and 100+ degree heat I must of really looked nuts.

Today I have the day off. So I'm hoping to get a lot of homework done especially since I will be working Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I've got two exams next week that I have to prep for as well. But so far I'm doing pretty good. I have managed to go through almost two lectures and type up an assignment today. I'm hoping to get some time to update my nutrition blog soon as well. Well I best get back to my homework.

Have a good day everyone!

People and Annoyance

I got a lot done this morning. One thing I managed to get done was purchasing scrubs for my new job! I'm excited and a nervous. But mostly excited for a change.

However, this afternoon has only proved to be annoying.

First annoyance: getting rooms squared away for the wedding. At least we got something reserved... and I think that it is a really nice facility even though it is not right across from the falls. In fact it's about 1hr 20 minutes.

Second annoyance: Matt's selfish brother. He refuses to go because he has a kid. Ridiculous. I guess after you have a baby you have to stay in one spot. Ryan has given every excuse known to mankind to get out of the wedding. But what it boils down to is the fact that Matt is just not that important to him apparently ... because if he was he would be there. If the tables were turned he would be just as upset. I know this because he was upset that Matt was five minutes late to the dinner rehearsal and that was not even the actual wedding. But he would not have to worry about that because if it were the other way around we would make sure to be there even if it was a burden to get there. Nope not him... everything has been taken care of and yet he still won't go. Guess Matt and I are different or something.

When Matt called him out on all of his excuses and told him that he really wanted him there.. he was told that that was a dick move. What a piss poor brother!

We accommodate everything around Ryan. I mean everything.... even the holiday dinners are based around what Ryan will eat. And yet the one time Matt has asked him to do something for him he has let him down. But why should that be anything new.... he has always been self centered. Guess Matt was wishful thinking when he thought he would go.

In my opinion, Ryan can just avoid the reception as well.

Observing an RD

Today I got most of my RD assignments completed, where I had to observe and practice a few dietary assessments. Yay! Now if I can organize the information and submit them I'll be that much further ahead of the game. I hope to have that done by end of the week. It was a lot of fun but I was sooooo nervous before hand. I thought I was going to give myself a panic attack. In the end it was all good. Tomorrow I do have to finish up one or two more assignments with an RD.

I hoping with the stressful part of the class out of the way more wedding planning can take place.

Oh no! ...Missed The Auction!

Sad for me I went to order the skirt purse that I really liked and they had sold out. Bummer...guess I was not suppose to spend my money on it. I really liked it though. If anyone sees any fabric like that let me know. Maybe I can get one made. Oh well.

On another note because many people networked and donated funds Flynn was able to get the surgery he needed to repair his ruptured disk in his neck. Yay!

Movie Favorites

When we were kids there was this movie that we watched all the time, it was one of my favorites, called The Trollies All New Musical Adventures. Well one night I was mad at Ken because he wanted to finish watching wrestling or something. So I told Robert to dump water on him. Little did I know Ken was holding the VCR tape of my beloved troll movie. Needless to say it got ruined and we never got another copy.

A few months ago Robert was looking for some of our favorite movies from when we were kids and he came across some youtube clips of the it. It was fun to watch parts of it again. Click here to see a portion of one of our favorite movies.

Another of our favorite movies he came across was Wee Sing - In the Marvelous Musical Mansion.
