More Randomness

I have a lot of random thoughts.

I've gotten really good at using Southwest's website this week. I hope that I like the Las Vegas airport, as I have a few layovers there this summer. Maybe I should take some change with me? ;) Just kidding, I don't want to be carrying change around in my carry-on, it would be so heavy.

The Biggest Loser finale was this week. I am so impressed with how the At-Home Prize winner did. He was eliminated from the show on week 2, so he lost most of his weight (160 pounds) on his own. As for the person who won the show... it's incredible that he lost 199 pounds, which was 51.16% of his original weight. I'm curious to see what will happen with this show. Will there be another season? Typically at finale they give us a little sneak peak to the next season, or tell us that they'll see us again on (enter date here) when the next season premieres. They didn't do either of those things, and they still say they are casting for the next season. Maybe this season was just too awful?

Our ward music chairperson arranged a beautiful medley of I Often go Walking and Teach Me to Walk in the Light. It sounds incredible and I can't wait to practice it with the youth this week.

Remember how I broke half my toe nail off last year? It looks all normal now! After showing my toenail to a guy in my ward doing his podiatry residency he told me that it would heal better if I didn't have nail polish on it... which makes me sad because I have been keeping it painted basically since the injury because it looked better that way. Maybe it would've gotten better a lot faster? Well either way, my toe nails were painted last night and I'm loving it. I got sick of looking at naked toe nails.

We're having some pretty tasty meals this next week... two things from America's Test Kitchen (Chicken & Zucchini Stir-Fry with Ginger Sauce; and Cold Sesame Noodles), a yummy Betty Crocker Lasagna, and our favorite pasta salad, Southwest Pasta Salad from Our Best Bites. I got really excited as I got all the ingredients for these things at the grocery store. I'm especially excited for my Pasta Salad. It's super yummy and makes a ton, so I'll get it for lunch for a long time! Last time I made it I even ate it for breakfast a few times.

I won a Scentsy plug-in warmer and Scentsy Bar like a week or two ago, and they came this week. The warmer is in our guest bathroom, and the bar smells like Baked Apple Pie. It is absolutely delicious, but now I want an apple pie. I want to find a local consultant who has some stock so I can come and smell the scents before I buy them... I want a good citrusy bar, but want to be able to smell it before I buy it to decide if it is the right type of citrusy goodness.

I unlocked my favorite kart on MarioKart this week. When Chris and I play together we go through his profile, and he has unlocked a lot more stuff than I have, so we always both use the Dolphin Dasher in our races. Until last night I hadn't won the cup that unlocks the Dolphin Dasher, but last night I destroyed my competition and got that car unlocked. I was really excited. This sounds really dumb, but we do sure enjoy our Mario Kart.

I got rid of Pinterest a few weeks ago. Last night I almost deleted my Facebook too. Instead I just deleted like 40 friends, mostly people that clog my newsfeed and that I never interact with. I deleted most of my cousins, at least the ones from my mom's side of the family. I don't talk to them ever. I even deleted some of my old roommates... of course not my roommates from my freshman year. I would never delete 215.

That reminds me. Jenny is getting married tomorrow. Like, within the next 24 hours. I am so excited for her! I'm kind of jealous of my mom. My mom gets to see Jenny sometime next week and meet the new husband. I haven't met Mike yet. And I'm letting him marry Jenny. I hope SOMEONE from 215 met him and gave our official apartment approval? And Jenny doesn't count.

That also reminds me that two of my favorite people, that have August 3rd birthdays will now have May 5th anniversaries. Congrats tomorrow to Jenny & Mike, as well as Happy Anniversary to Marissa & Terry! I have a few other friends with August 3rd birthdays. I guess they'll have to have May 5th weddings as well. Then I'll always remember their anniversary.

Simply Orange makes some of the tastiest orange juice I have ever had. Today we bought Simply Orange with Pineapple juice. It is amazing as well. I'm glad that Simply Orange has been giving away coupons on their Facebook page. That was seriously one of the reasons that I decided not to delete my facebook yesterday. I didn't want to miss out on more orange juice coupons. Lame? Yeah, but that's just how I roll.

I guess that is enough randomness for right now. I'm sure I could go on and on.

Oh, how about Blistex's new Raspberry Lemonade Chapstick! It is divine, and I found it for only 97 cents at HEB. I still prefer my Burt Bees Mango Chapstick, but the Raspberry Lemonade is delicious as well.
