Bad News Bears

Today I got home from being at Mr. Rainier for the weekend. It was nice to get away from the tv, phone, and computer. My sisters and I stayed at my Mom's place she has up there and literally slept, watched West Wing, read, and played a game of boggle. We also got to hang out with my aunty who lives up there!

But when I got back tonight I had an 8 mile walk to do on my treadmill and it up and quit on me! I am SO BUMMED. I was going to test out my new shoes and everything. Now I have to hold off walking until Wednesday!

I am so behind here!

2 years and counting...

Yesterday was Jim and I's second anniversary. We started dating two years ago on election day in Chicago. That is where we officially reconnected. I was there on a business trip from DC and he came to see me from Seattle. I can't say that it was love at first sight because I met him in elementary school but I did fall for him there. Then two months later I drove across the country in December to try to give it a go. And go it has!

Last night was pretty low key. I came from class and he had brought home a pizza and even got my favorite root beer which I only eat with pizza. I definitely ate into my extra points but that was okay! We got each other scrabble, skip-bo, and dominoes for our anniversary along with a basketball and he got me new walking shoes for the half marathon. We played skip-bo and then I was off to my house to do some studying. It was a nice quiet evening and that is just how I like it.

I love you Jim Owen!

WSASP conference

I attended the Washington State Association for School Psychologists conference in Spokane last week and into the holiday weekend. I networked as I'm trying to find the perfect internship. I presented as I'm trying to build a resume and I skipped a lot of boring classes and hung out with all my school friends! They weren't boring per se they were not new to us as students. We get the most updated info. in school and so we knew a lot of it, this was more for those psychs that have been practicing for years and have no idea what's going on to some extent. My favorite professor won the most prestigious award from the state and of course she gets up there and to some degree states "I hate awards I think they are too exclusive." So her! I love her so much! So here are some pictures of the event! I couldn't afford to stay in the amazing hotel so we quadrupled up at the Ramada Inn baby. And guess what was right our door. That's right folks a freakin' train that passed through about 50 times a night (totally not exaggerating)to keep us all awake!

WW: Week 5

Down Again! I'm almost to my 5% goal! woo-hoo!

Thank you Red Hot Chili Peppers

As I've mentioned it has been a VERY BUSY TWO WEEKS, not hard, but super super busy. Today as I was driving home for the billionth time in a week contemplating on everything that is on my plate right now-a song came on. Just a little song is all it took for me to smile to myself. Thank you Red Hot Chili Peppers for writing Scar Tissue. And thank you 103.7 The Mountain for playing it at that moment. I needed it.
