SUMMMMMMMMER! That's right, I said it with excitement. Because it's HERE! Haha, I feel like I write about that every post, but it's soooo important! I don't think I've ever realized how much I love summer until THIS summer arrived! It may not be official by the calendar (who knows when 'official' summer starts?!), but it's official by me! Another hot day today--YES!--and promise for more heat and sunshine into the weekend! Which is ever-so-exciting because Friday is BEACH DAY with Allie, Sara, Michelle, and me! It was going to be a picnic, but we modified our plans a tad so that Michelle can make a lil $$$ at work on Friday! It'll be a bit of a change since I'm used to being the one at work--I'll probably spend my time lounging and reading in the sun. ;)
But let's catch up. Monday we had QUITE the pizza adventure. After paging through tons of coupons for pizza for dinner, we decided on Cottage Inn pizza. With a coupon for one large 5-topping pizza, you can get it split into quarters and have a possible 20 different toppings on it! Insane, right?! It was sooo good, though! I got broccoli, chicken, and sun-dried tomatoes on my quarter. Yay for variety! And yay for coupons! The rest of that night we watched Footloose on TV, which was kind of ruined simply because of all of the commercials, which were 10 minutes long each time. Michelle and I had never seen it before (shocker, right?), but we didn't think there was enough dancing and singing. Not a musical by our standards (but we don't know if it was supposed to even be a musical).
Oh and I think I may have developed some kind of allergy this week. It kind of went away but starting Sunday, I had itchy eyes and a stuffy nose with sneezes. Fingers crossed that it stays away! I've never had an allergy before (except for bee stings, mostly), and I would like to keep it that way.
Tuesday Michelle and I got to sleep in a little more, and we made WAFFLES! They were delicious and we experimented a bit by adding honey, cinnamon, butter, syrup, peanutbutter. All delicious (but we didn't put everything on at once). The waffles were in quarters like the pizza, so it worked out well with our variety toppings.
Then I was off to work. After work, Michelle and I went grocery shopping at Aldi's--my first ever trip there. It was quite the experience, although we struggled a bit. We got lots of yummyies, though, so we were successful. Then we lounged outside. I got to do a bit of stretching/yoga in the sunshine and read a bit. We had burgers grilled for us by Michelle's mom with fresh asparagus. Michelle and I went to our friend Krista's softball game and then to get COLDSTONE! More coupons went to use, along with the last of my gift card (sad!). I was very simple with my ice cream choice--cake batter with pecan pralines. Next time I will need to make up for this by going with LOTS OF CHOCOLATE!
Who knows what today holds. I'm finishing up this blog entry during my Bronco Bash office hours, a pretty slow morning so far. Looking forward to folding t-shirts tomorrow and putting up orientation bulletin boards. Monday we had a lovely Orientation Student Leader presentation all about Bronco Bash. Can't wait to sell some shirts!
One thing that is on my mind is volunteers. We need lots. VOLUNTEER VOLUNTEER VOLUNTEER! I loved it last year, so hopefully all of this year's volunteer's will have a similar experience.
Ok well now I'm off to think of something productive to do with my last few hours! Until next time...
