Goodbye April!

Time flies, and I'm ready for a new month. April has been fabulous, but I'm ready for the warmer weather and everything else that comes with mid spring. I am also looking forward to my much needed haircut tomorrow. I need a haircut so badly right now. I don't know if I previously mentioned this, but I am trying to grow my hair out and it is a long and awkward process pretty much.

Today I just did my usual stuff. I went to the gym, and the mall and then went to Harmons afterward. I don't know if I'll have a bus pass tomorrow or not, so I made the most out of today pretty much. It'll be great if Judy does send me a bus pass, but I'm not going to count on it because our plan only went up until May. Who knows, I may get lucky! I guess I'll just cross my fingers because I'd really hate to have to buy bus tokens.  At the mall I looked at sunglasses, socks, fitness stuff, and cute bags at Charming Charlies. I am contemplating getting a new wallet maybe tomorrow. I am really bored of my current one.

When I went to Harmons I got this really great pepper jack soup stuff with a roll for dinner. I was so hungry, it had probably been like 4 or 5 hours since I had last eaten. I am definitely going to get it again if they have it next time I go. Their soup is really high quality and cheap.

Nothing much happened after this. Laura brought home some popcorn from when her and Ben and Natalie and Kayla went to a movie. I've just been hanging out eating Rhubarb pie my neighbor sent to us. She sends us pies at least twice a year and they are always great.

Oh yeah, did I ever mention I watched the Madoka Magica movies yesterday? I can't remember. They didn't have the best ending, but they were fun to watch and the series is still one of my favorites. I don't think I'll count the movie sequel as canon though. If you love anime you should watch the series and the movies. I personally prefer the series. The series had a great ending.

Back to the Basics

Now that I am getting closer and closer to going back to school, I feel like it's time to buckle down and get back to reviewing all my basic subjects. This includes psychology, sociology, Human Lifespan & Development, English, Math, and Science. I know if I don't start reviewing now I'm going to have a lot of trouble down the road with classes. I've been slacking off too much and nw I think it is time to sacrifice ome of the time I use to go out and hit the books. I love learning, and I know I'm going to have some struggles down the line, but I'm okay with that. I really believe I can do anything.
  
   
Nothing much happened today, I went to Maria Bonita's again with my family and got another mango colada, but this time I got a Chicken Enchilada Poblanos. I think that is what it was called. I still can't believe I actually finished everything. I just hope it doesn't make me gain like 5 pounds haha. We went in celebration of Natalie doing so great at her last track meet. I didn't really go, but I'll probably go next school year. Natalie is only a beginner, so I decided to wait a bit longer.

Anyway, I guess this is all for today. I'm planning on doing more tomorrow. I better make the most out of my last day having a bus pass for a couple of weeks. It's going to be hard being restricted, but time always flies for me, so I'm not worried. I'm going to buy some bus tokens, but I'm going to have to be really careful using them.
  
Everything was as good as it looks.

Orchids

Today Erin called and apparently my 12 month personal training contract is up. I could renew it, but I'm going to wait a while before I start training with her because I need the money. I guess I'll be going solo from now on. I'm going to keep using the routines Chris gave me though. It's for the best for me to wait a little.

Today I went to Dairy Queen and got a medium Pecan Turtle blizzard.  My weight is at a standstill so I'm going to go strictly sugar free again instead of just low sugar like I've been doing. I also got a Dr. Pepper when I went to Harmons just for fun. I looked at a lot of things at Harmons today, but I'm just going to focus on the flowers today. Specifically, look at these amazing orchids!

These first ones are black velvet orchids. They might also be a variant of mystique orchids. The more blue ones are mystique orchids and the purple reddish ones are Deborah orchid organza.
  
                      
And some other random photos.
  
              
I didn't do much after I got home. I practiced my French on the Duolingo app, took a walk, talked to Brittany over text, and made some chicken and cheese nachos for dinner. Oh, and I organized the fridge just a tiny bit while mom was cleaning some maple syrup off of it.

I guess this is all for today.

New Personal Trainer (Heavy picture load)

I will miss having Chris as my personal trainer, that is just kind of inevitable I think. I really like Erin my new personal trainer, but her style is a lot different than Chris. It’s going to take time for me to adjust and get used to the differences. I’m probably going to self modify whatever routines Erin gives me because they are easier than in used to doing. I’m going to stick with Erin for now and see if things work out with us.  Right now I’m not absolutely sure she is right for me. We are seeing each other in a couple of weeks and I’ll have more of an idea eventually. We did stuff on the TRX Straps, we used the big arm ropes, and we did stuff with resistance cords. She is a fun person and she seems to know what she is doing. I will just give it time.

After I did my cardio I got my stuff together and walked around the mall for a couple of hours. I went to Melty Way and got a chicken Parmesan grilled cheese with marinara sauce, it was great. I was super hungry.


I went to vision works and looked at their frames for 45 minutes after this  I found two pairs I really like. I’m not buying yet of course. I scheduled an appointment with my eye doctor for a few weeks from now, then  can think about it.


        
Before I get to the picture heavy part of my post I will just tell you what happened after I came home from the mall. Well, I watched some videos about the worst Disney movies, mostly just the opinions of other people. They are interesting opinions though, and I actually understand in some cases like sequels. I actually fell asleep watching one of the videos. I meant to go to ward family home evening tonight, but I accidentally slept right through it. When I woke up it was time for dinner. We had pork or lamb chops, I don’t know which one. There was pineapple with the meat, and we also had veggies with it as well.

Since when I ate I have been watching some videos about strange addictions and funny cat videos. It’s really quite random when I watch stuff on YouTube. A lot of the time I find stuff through my recommendations.

One last thing before the pictures, Dylan gave me permission to hare this snap he took today. I just thought it was so hilarious when I saw it I just had to post it on here today.

Here are some pictures from a few of my favorite stores.
Various stores. Warning this is a heavy picture load. I figure that instead of just telling you about the mall I can show you this at least once.
