Just an update

Hi there!! I know, it’s been a few days.  I was lucky enough to get offered a shift today that put me 8 hours overtime, so I worked from 12-8:30 today! yay!! This morning was fabulous.  I woke up around 7am and got in a good 30 minute jog.  When I got home, I was SERIOUSLY craving a smoothie, knowing I had some smoothie fixings, I was bound and determined to make one…. well, unfortunately my yogurt was expired, so I decided instead to treat myself to Panera Bread with a low fat mango smoothie that is delicious!! I know, I could have bought more yogurt for the price I spent on this one smoothie, but I don’t treat myself very often, so I thought it would be ok… right? RIGHT.  Then I enjoyed watching a few episodes of Burn Notice.  I went to work and while at work, I got offered this beauty right here!!


I was super excited.
1. Because it was FREE
2. Because it was stinking adorable, right?

Well… I’m going to be downright HONEST… If you are visiting Disney and PAYING… DO NOT BUY THIS!!
It’s not that it isn’t good, it was, but it was extremely difficult to eat and I didn’t finish it because I couldn’t even bite into it or cut into easily, it was messy and just plain difficult… why buy food that has to be stubborn? I’d rather pay good money for something that’s delicious AND easy!  It was a nice little treat, but only because I got it for free, I would never actually spend my own money on something like this at Disney.

Tonight, I’m having chinese take out with the roomies, so I’m excited!! 
Have a wonderful Tuesday! 

4 Beautiful Acts of Random

{1} A compliment goes a long way
Today I went back to the aquatic YMCA i discussed  in this post here.  I was going to join a water fitness class which turned out to not be quite what I expected.  Let’s just say it’s for a more older generation who can’t quite exercise safely any other way, so I nixed that quickly!  I did want to practice my swimming though.  You may remember that last summer (possibly even the summer before!) I started taking some swim lessons from Nick’s mom.  She is fabulous, has been teaching swimming for over 20 years!  I never learned any technique (I can only do enough to keep myself from drowning) so I asked her to help me out!  I haven’t practiced my technique in a really long time though, but I decided to swim a few laps for some practice to see how it felt.  After lap 2, I paused for a break next to a man I spoken with earlier inside the gym and he gave me the GREATEST compliment I think I’ll hear all summer – “You’re a great swimmer!!”  OH MY GOSH! I about had a heart attack because I would never consider myself a great swimmer, but that compliment right there pushed me over the edge and I will now be signing up for my membership for May, June, and July just so I have a place to practice my swimming now!
Me practicing last summer!  So fun!
{2} Magic Kingdom day
I have been picking up some overtime shifts in Magic Kingdom lately and obviously people ask you where things are constantly and honestly, since I’m not familiar with it, I HAVE NO CLUE! So I thought today would be a great time to familiarize myself with Magic Kingdom a little better, so I’ll be heading there shortly!
{3} Watermelon
I mentioned in recent post that I LOVE watermelon and our Publix down the road has quarter size watermelon they sell.  Every chance I get, I run to Publix and find me the cheapest quarter I can get and I eat it all in one setting.  It’s the most delightful thing to put in your mouth this time of year!

{4} Burn Notice
I’ve been watching so much Burn Notice lately, I’m LOVING it!! Nick and I got into a while back, but I missed a lot of the episodes when I got sick one time and never really caught back up, so we both decided to re-watch all the seasons and it has been wonderful!! I’ve enjoyed the relaxing time I have to just sit and watch.  I’m considering making a trip to Miami for the day one of these days and scouting out film scenes and with my fingers crossed, running into an actual film shoot and stalking for some pictures!  Just FYI!
I wanna see if Miami is as beautiful in person as it is on screen!

Under the weather

I’ve been somewhat sick lately.  Wednesday I worked 7-3:30, then picked up a shift in Magic Kingdom for some overtime from 7-10:45, then woke up Thursday and worked 8-4:30 so I was exhausted by the time I got home Thursday night.  I think that took a little toll on my immune system and I’ve been under the weather ever since.  It’s the usual though, a sinus cold – sore throat, coughing, sneezing, stuffy nose, head pressure – I’m finally starting to get over it thank goodness because I picked up another extra over time shift tomorrow night, so tomorrow will be exhausting as well.   I’m still doing great on my no coffee / no sodas.  There has been plenty of temptation though, especially with the cold going on, I surely do enjoy a nice steaming hot cup of coffee (it’s a comfort, I must admit!) but I’ve been doing really good.  Tonight I’m trying to catch up on sleep (which I’ve already done a little bit of), watch some burn notice (which I may choose to take a day trip to Miami one of these days and try to find where they shoot some scenes – do some stalking of the sorts), clean up my room some, make some of these delicious blueberry corn muffins that are super healthy and keep you full and satisfied (I may post the recipe later, though I have to give credit to Fitness Magazine, of course, but ever since I made them, I’ve loved them!), and do some planning for the week.  Hope everyone is enjoying their beautiful Sunday (at least it’s beautiful here in Orlando!).
