I started the morning off with a fabulous breakfast! Organic toast w/organic jam & butter & 2 organic eggs w/organic mango juice- so good!

 

Today was another awesome day in 2010- but seriously, February already??? Hard to believe. Anyway, my sister, Shelly (the one who I recently made up with-yay!) emailed me this morning asking if I’d come by her office for lunch. So I packed up some turkey sandwiches on wheat, some organic carrots, granola bars, pineapple and organic pita chips (I wasn’t sure what she liked so I grabbed alot of food )

 

I had to hurry and get ready- so excuse the lack of makeup.

 

I got to use my new Amy’s tote- so cute, I love it!

 

 We had the best time hanging out talking and having lunch- I had my turkey sandwich & some pineapple.  About 2.5 hours later, we decided to go hit up Steak and Shake since they serve Seattle’s Best Coffee

 

I had about 2 cups and then a coffee to take with me back to the office

 

We weren’t that hungry so we split the steak sandwich w/portobella mushrooms & swiss cheese & skinny fries- the cook actually forgot the cheese the first time so halfway through we noticed and they made us a new order. Way better with cheese! My sister was so sweet and insisted on treating me to lunch

 

My sister’s office desk- she’s not messy, they are just super busy and she has alot of work to catch up on. After all of the coffee that we had, I was kind of way too hyper and I ended up helping her file alot of folders and clean/organize the office- I realized that she has a big workload (i.e. stress) and I wanted to help her out. Apparentally, her boss was so impressed that he now wants to hire me He said that he would give me a call and let me know about the times I could work- so that is great news!! He also said that from now on, he is buying me coffee all of the time! lol I ended up staying at the office all day and helping my sister and she dropped me off back home. She came inside and I showed her around the house and the remodeling that we had done- we had a great visit. I’m still pinching myself that we are getting along so well!!

 

Later, she had to head back home, and the hubby was just getting home as well, so I sat and talked with him for a while. Then I got a little munchy, so I made me up some dinner.

I had black bean salsa mixed w/1/2 avocado & some hot sauce & chips I’m counting the salsa & avo. as my veggies for the day

 

And a fabulous dessert- I’ve been eating some many carbs today that I needed some fruit

 

Some great things happened today that I wanted to share!!

• I now have a part time job- meaning whenever they need me. Which may turn into full time because the girl that works there now may be leaving soon!
• I talked to my Father in Law and he wants me and the hubby to get back to college this year and finish school and said he would pay for our tuiton, books, everything- I am thinking I agree with him on that..it might be hard juggling a job, school and remodeling but it’s kind of now or never. This would also mean we’d save $30 or more on gym fees every month since the college has a nice gym, pool, tennis courts and even a sauna that is free for students. I’m also digging the student discount that I would get at New Leaf Coop B-term registration starts February 25- I think we might sign up for a couple of classes so we won’t be too stressed out and see how it goes. I’m so ready to get our life in order, the house remodel, college, jobs- ahhhh the joy of being an adult!!!
• And I realize that it’s only Day 2 or 3- can’t remember- but I’m loving the whole “adding proteins & grains” back in thing- I feel so great lately!! Definitely not deprived- it feels freeing to not be so controlling over my diet!  
• I also saw a situation that could have gone bad and instead of putting my own two cents in- I prayed about it first and God gave me the words to help heal a relationship between 2 people that was badly needed. Honestly, it hurts me to see people hurting and I just felt that it was my job to stand up for this person and everything worked out perfectly! Prayer is so powerful!!

Well, that’s it for today guys- Unfortunately, I didn’t make it to the gym today- the hubby needed a break and so we took a night off. I may watch the Bachelor later and maybe a cup of Teecino as well. Hope you are all having a fabulous night!!!!
