Diamond Rose

I was hit with inspiration yesterday and felt like creating a poem about Cara (Darik's wife). She really is someone you would expect to read about in some pretty song or poem. She is beautiful inside and out. I showed this poem to her and both she and Darik loved it.

Anyway, so today I just made a brief trip to the mall and took the bus to Macey's grocery store to pick up an application and get a chocolate vanilla ice cream cone. Later Laura made chicken and cheese enchiladas. She also made lemon bars, but they aren't done quite yet. I'm planning on filling out the applications I got today and also finishing the ones online. I'll turn the ones that have physical copies in on Monday.

Cinnamon & Chai

I woke up at 9 and decided I didn't feel like doing morning cardio. I put on my Canada sweatshirt that I found yesterday and ate an orange. While I was checking my email today I saw I had a free drink from Starbucks! I decided to forgo breakfast because I knew I was going to have a short gap between when I left for institute and when I ate and I wanted to save the calories for Starbucks.

I didn't feel like bringing my backpack today, so I just grabbed my gym padlock, phone ear buds, charger and put them in the big pocket that my hoodie has.

I rode the bus to the mall, it was around 10:30am by this time. I went to See's Candies and bought some peppermint candy. I went to institute after walking around for a little bit. We had KFC pot pie for lunch today. I brought mine to class where we talked about psalms. I slipped choir later just to see how I feel about it and make sure I want to drop it.

I headed off to the mall where I headed straight for Starbucks and got a free large Chai Cream Frappuccino with cinnamon. It was amazing on so many levels.



I headed over to The Body Shop and hung out there for a while looking at the items and talking to the staff while I drank my drink.

I did a lot of job searching after this. I went through the whole mall and asked every one of the stores if they were hiring. I got 5 or 6 paper applications and the rest I'm doing online. It was fun going through all the stores again. I am excited to turn all my applications in.

The rest of the day I was at the gym. I took my phone and charger and let my phone charge until around 6pm. I spent the rest of the night doing cardio, lifting weights, visiting the sauna and I even saw Darik while I was doing sit-ups. I was picked up by mom and dad around 10:30. I burned over 800 calories today!
