Happy Hump Day!

     Let´s see, so...I went bowling again last night. Ha. Yes, I went on a double date on a TUESDAY! Weird, I know, but I need the distraction. School is stressful, and obnoxious, and almost over for the semester! Yay!!!
     Guess what's weirder though, I actually was pretty good. Even got a few strikes. Ha, no way! Yes, way...look at me, oh yes. We all decided to make bets and wage if we won. Our winner's wage was the losers had to eat a tablespoon of cinnamon...BUT then we played for all or nothing, and someone else won. so, then we were all assumed safe, but one of us, for some reason unknown to me, STILL  wanted, HE WANTED to eat the cinnamon. So we hobbled back to my dwellings and I handed him a tablespoon of cinnamon and we got the video camera ready.
     Immediately upon placing the spice inside his mouth he spoke with puffs of cinnamon, "This is awful." Haha, and it continued in this manner, with moans and groans of suffering until he had swallowed it all. Of course, he insisted upon the need for a glass of water, and swore he'd never do that again! It wasn't so much the burn of it that hurt, but how dry his mouth went right after the pile of spice made contact with his tongue. The poor thing...he asked for it though. Literally. Though, it was still very entertaining.

     For the second time this week I have been able to walk out my front door WITHOUT a coat! The day is so nice and sunny, and warm! It's grand. I'm so excited for Spring, and of course for my next Stitch Fix box. I wonder what will be inside!
      I love shopping, I really do, I just don't seem to have time for it, and when I do I don't know what I want to look for. I mean, the most organized thought in my head is: "Something cute that I would wear". Not very organize and concrete, is it? So, I turned to Stitch Fix, and so far, I really like it. Girls, try it out, I think you'd love it. For those of you who are stuck with the same conundrum. Pictures this time around, I promise. :)

My five of the day...

1. Sunshine is lovely and gives me so much more energy! I don't understand you people from Oregon who don't appreciate it as much as I do.

2. Reese's Peanut Butter Oreo's are actually really tasty. Though I still prefer the original oreo any day.

3. Whenever your teacher inserts a video in with the lecture it makes the hour so much more bearable. Love it!

4. Bowling is more fun when you keep practicing

5. Food is amazing. Don't take it for granted.

Happy Hump Day! Friday is almost here!

Cheers,

Happy Pi Day!! Bowling's Not My Sport. I Learned How to Throw a Punch and a Few Kicks

     Happy Pi Day! Yes, it is Pi day. No, I don't mean pie pie, even though I actually, kind of, really do mean pie pie, but I mean pi as in the number pi. You know, 3.14...whatever. It happens every year except this year is particular is really special. Yup. March 14, 2015, because guess what the next two numbers of pi are? That's right, you guessed it. 15! It's a big deal all over facebook, go take a look, if you care. Ha.
     OR you could take the easier route and switch "pi" for "piE" and stuff your face with your favorite evening-time dessert, or have pie for dinner (yes, pizza is a pie too).

     You know something I've noticed? Bowling's not my sport. It's quite hilarious actually, and yet I still participate. Ha. Today, I got to go bowling with some people from work, and the Elder's Quorum President from one of my coworker's ward's. He calls himself Ritzpapy. Apparently, one of his cousins gave him that nickname as a kid, and it stuck. Something else too, he's a bowling king. He denies it, but he slaughtered everyone...strike...strike...you know what I'm going to say.
     I've been bowling a total of three times in my life. Three. So, you can imagine how easy it is to laugh at myself, and my score, as I "roll" the ball down the lane. Quite entertaining. Can't tell you how many gutterballs I got. BUT hey, I had fun anyway, and there was pizza pie. :)

    Want to know what else I did today? I took a self-defense class (you're welcome, Mom). Well activity, it was an activity the girls in my ward put together. It was cool. It felt kind of silly at the beginning, making guterol noises matched with a kick or a punch in the air, in a completely harmless environment. BUT I learned to do some neat things that I hope I will never have to actually use, because that would mean I actually found myself in a dangerous, life-threatening situation. Nice to know them though, just in case.

Boys, you have been warned.

Did you know that yelling "Fire!" is more likely to get you the attention you need in the event of an attack than "Help!"? Yeah, neither did I, but good to know.

So, my list of five:

1. It was SUPER warm outside today! It was lovely!

2. I got some homework done today. There really is benefit in making a to-do list and prioritizing it correctly.

3. There is a certain kind of gratification I feel in being able to deliver a punch with effective force.

4. My sister's blog posts are HILARIOUSLY entertaining to read. Make me laugh every time. :) (mynameismadeleine.blogspot.com)

5. After an afternoon of homework, it's nice to get myself ready for the day, even if I'm not really doing anything. I just like looking pretty.

Overall, it was a good day.

Cheers
