One Of Those Days

Do you ever just have one of those days..you know where things just seem to go badly. Today might just be one those days. I don't know what I'm less excited about the fact that it's snowing or that spring break is over and my brain does not want to cooperate. Maybe thats why when I walked out my door to go to class, I slipped and fell in the mud ripping my favorite pair of jeans and cutting a huge gash in my knee. I think my brain had a plan to prevent me from going to class and if so it worked cuz here I am blogging instead. Its to bad that I'm not so into the whole ripped jeans thing otherwise they'd look brand new, on the upside though I bought a new pair of jeans this morning before the whole fiasco. Anyways I just hope this isn't a sign that I'm going to fail my test tonight, who gives a test the first day back from spring break anyways, lame!

Grand Opening

If you've never been to Sunflower Market then you are missing out! I have been wishing that there was one closer to me ever since I found out about it and it has finally come true!! Spencer and I headed over there a few days ago and filled our cart with tons of fruits, veggies and other yummy food. There slogan is 'Serious Food, Silly Prices' and it couldn't be more right on, it's like the cheaper version of Whole Foods but the products are just as good.

Along with the new Sunflower Market opening the new Whole Foods opened just down the street. As much as I do love the Sunflower Market we decided to go check out the new Whole Foods because it just looked so big and I had heard some good things about it. It was pretty sweet, but way to crowded we had a hard time trying to make our way around all the traffic. But I made a discovery while I was there, one that I am so excited about.

A few years ago I had a professor that used to bring us all sorts of goodies, and my favorite thing she use to bring were these dried mangos. Now I've had dried mangos many times but they've always been sweetened, and the ones she'd bring weren't and they were soo yummy. She got them from trader joes which is a store we don't have here but should, anyways I've never been able to find them until now! The new Whole Foods has them and I can tell you that I will be frequenting there often because of it. If you've never tried them GO and get some they are such a yummy snack and as far as I'm concerned guilt free.

Locked Out

I realized in the middle of my class that I forgot my keys (this is not the first time it's happened) and of course I couldn't concentrate on anything my teacher said after that because I was to busy plotting how I could get in, I really thought to myself..'hey you have a couple bobbypins in your hair, picking a lock doesn't seem to hard they do it in the movies all the time.' Uhh doubt it..although I am very tempted to try.

Anyways, so if you don't know, to get into our building you have to be buzzed in either by using an electronic key or by calling one of the apartments. Well luckily I brought my phone with me because most days I just leave it, so at least I could buzz myself into the building. So I walked home and crossed my fingers that the apartment manager would be in his office, and luckily there he was walking in at the exact same time. Hallelujah!

He recognized me of course and even remembered my apartment number from the other times i've needed his help...kinda embarassing. On our way to my apartment he assured me that I was not the only one and that there was even a lady who needed him to unlock her door at least once a week ( she blames it on her kids who she claims locks her out all the time..how sad is that!) anyways it made me feel less dumb.

However I'm still puzzled on where my brain might be because for quite sometime I have been more than forgetful. But I am very thankful that at least when it comes to forgetting my keys we have an apartment manager to help out when my brain decides it's going to go on vacation, I just wish it would take me with it.

Spring Fever

What a great way to start out the month of March! It is BEAUTIFUL outside maybe this is a sign that the snow is over..yeah right wishful thinking I know, but a girl can dream! Either way I'll take it, I can't tell you how excited I am for spring, as much as I love my uggs I want to be wearing flip flops and florals! I hope everyone gets the chance to enjoy today even if only

for 5 minutes.

Sitting here blog stalking when instead I should be writing my paper thats due in an hour and a half. Why are blogs so addicting? To my credit though the paper I have to write only has to be one page..I can put it off for a couple more minutes right?

Ahh the fine art of procrastination :)

TV Obsessions

For Christmas we got a subscription to Netflix (thanks Aaron and Heather!), it was such a good gift and we have loved it! Maybe a little too much. We have become OBSESSED with two shows: Dexter and 24. I don't know if any of you have watched these but they are amazing!

Dexter is about a serial killer that you can't help but root for. Now you may be thinking why would you root for a serial killer, well because even though he kills people he only kills other killers never innocent people. If you are still skeptical just watch the show..you'll understand.

The other show that we started watching is 24. I've known many people that have loved this show but I just never cared enough to try, but one night we decided to check it out and it was all over from there, we were hooked. They always have to end the show in the worst place possible so you can't help but watch the next one. I don't know what I would do if I had to wait a week inbetween each episode, it would drive me nuts!

Regardless to say we have been spending way to much time watching tv lately but we just can't help it. But if you are looking for a good show to watch I definitely would recomend these two, hopefully you'll enjoy them as much as we do!

Unexpected Words

You know how people always say 'tell the people you care about how you feel because you never know what tomorrow will bring'. Well a few days ago I got a surprising email. It was from one of my best childhood friends that I haven't seen or really talked to in way to many years. She told me that she had been thinking about me and asked me how I was doing. As the email went on she told me how I had influenced her life and how she has always admired a certain quality of mine. I couldn't help but be filled with emotion. It was truly amazing to have this experience of a random unexpected but certainly appreciated act of love. Ever since I read that email I have not been able to stop thinking about it and the lesson that it has taught me. I encourage all of you to reach out and tell someone how much you care about them because you really don't know how much it can touch their lives.
