I’m no good at sneaky selfies.

I’m FINALLY on vacation!! I’m at the Omaha airport, heading to Buffalo, NY. That’s where my is from, and he’s been there for about a week. We’re going to a wedding and to see his fam. Should be a nice time.

I’m so pumped for a few days off. I haven’t had a vacation day since April!! That’s a long time ago.

See you next week friends!

Life changing oatmeal

I do not like plain oatmeal. I did not like it with only cinnamon and sugar. I could barely choke it down. But this? This is fantastic!!

I added a bit of peanut butter and some cinnamon and I’m in heaven. GAME CHANGER.

In other news, I slept like crap last night. My gum is killing me. Stupid temporary crown. I’m currently only eating soft food and protein shakes until the pain lessens.

Le sigh.

Things and Stuff

  • @measuringlife and @snapthistiger I really didn’t make it a big announcement. We’ve been together for awhile now. So you didn’t miss anything! I generally have referred to him as “the bf” or “my bf”. I can see how one might skip over that. Things are good! We are going to New York next week to see his family. I’m excited for a vacation.
  • I wish losing weight was as easy as gaining it. I am so mad that I ever gained any weight back that I could scream. Losing 20 pounds is so much harder this time around. I’m extremely thankful for friends like @two-o-nine to talk me off the proverbial ledge. It is so easy to get down on myself, but Brooke is such a good cheerleader. Everyone needs a friend like that. #squad.
  • This afternoon I felt like my heart was either racing or going super slow, so I used the app on my phone to see which one it was. It was the latter. My co-worker freaked out and said that was “not good!” She said she’s been a runner her whole life (she’s 60) and her heart rate isn’t that slow. I told her that her age made a difference, and that my heart is just really efficient. Fun Fact: It has been as low as 35 BPM resting. #runnerprobs
  • I got an estimate for the damage on my car: it will be $2000!!! I’m leaning towards not fixing it yet, I really can’t afford the $500 deductible because I had to get a root canal and crown so that’s costing me nearly $600 out of pocket, with the premium dental plan at my work. Sigh.
  • I’m considering getting a PT waitressing job in the Haymarket in Lincoln. (It’s the district with restaurants, the arena, and shops). A friend hosted at a sushi joint there and said even on Wednesdays servers made $300 a night! I feel like I could manage that for a few months, just to make the money I need to cover some of these unexpected expenses. Stay tuned.
  • I cannot believe tomorrow is the last day of August. This month has FLOWN by.

Have a good night friends!

Manis and pedi’s and a girl’s night after work last night that culminated in a sleepover. This morning I channeled my inner French girl (I just need a neck scarf and a beret!)
5k today for the National parks 100th birthday because that medal is adorable!! And tonight I’m helping a friend rewrite her resume. Busy day, but the weekend is just ahead!!
