out of gas...

I mean this title literally ;)  So this morning I am driving to my ride as I always do, and as I get off of the freeway, my car won't shift.  Weird.  So then I stop at the intersection, and it won't start again!  So, I am sitting at the exit of an exit ramp, my car won't move.  Luckily, a nice man came along and helped me push my car to a parking lot not too far away.  Thank God!  So I park it there, lock it up, and ride to the ride.  Good news is I still got my ride in(more on that later!)  So, when I get back from my ride I try to start the car and it won't start.  Great. So, I thought it was the battery, because my fuel gauge still said I had 1/4 of a tank.  That is easily close to 100 miles.  I tried to ride home, but the car wouldn't lock because all of the locks are electric and I had to stay. (making me think again that it was the battery)  So, I wait for my  parents to finish their ride, and come to meet me at the car.  I assumed it was the battery, but my dad didn't think so.  So we got some gas, and sure enough, it worked!  I was happy it was so simple, but angry that the gauge said I had a 1/4 tank when it was bone dry!  So, I got home :)

True story^^  And that took way too long to explain!   Now, a quick little back track through the week in pictures...

leftover pasta with feta and random veggies

AMAZING seared ahi on jicama with avocado and chili sauce.  I died. haha ;)  This was on my half day from school when I got my bike =D

Saw this while running, and just had to get a picture.  Isn't it pretty??

So as I said, I got my bike on Tuesday!  It is so freaking cool :) Here are some pics...

The new bike was incredible!!! I rode it for the first time today, and it was like I was connected to it, and it knew what I wanted it to do!  I love it =D

And then I cooked a chicken stir fry for dinner, and that is about it.  

I hope you are having an absolutely terrific weekend!

Making Progress!

So, I have been brutally reminded that the moving process is in fact a very slow one!  But, progress is being made, as is evidenced by the HUGE number of broken down boxes on our front porch!





So, that has been moving along slowly, and in the meantime, I have been enjoying my car!  I posted pictures before, but none of me in my car, so here are some my mom took yesterday :)
 
 

I also enjoyed this Jar of goodness on Tuesday morning:


There is something else mixed in, but who really cares? Oats+Almond butter=Delicious!  Put it IN the jar of almond butter, and it is out of this world! OIAJ!! Although with it comes the tragedy of another jar of nut butter gone ;)

So, school this week was pretty good :)  Spirit week is always entertaining ;)  I didn't dress up at all, mainly because most all of my clothes are packed away still (at least the ones that are dress up worthy).  So, I just watched, but it was quite funny :)

I'll keep this post short and sweet because nothing else really happened! I'm going to leave you with a fortune cookie fortune I got today with dinner.  I think it is perfect for anyone with an ED, or with any self image issues at all!  Check it out:

SO true :)

So, learn to befriend yourself, because you are all such amazing people!  Have a great weekend :)

Sending my best,

Scott

Lack of posting, but GREAT NEWS!!!!!

I am so so sorry for my lack of postage, I have missed you all and your wonderful comments :/

But.. I have been having a great time and enjoying life!!  Everything is going awesome :)  And here are just two of the reasons why:

Espresso machine!

There she is!  It is a Gaggia Factory, and I am already producing great shots!  It has a learning curve, but I am really happy with how well I am doing with it right out of the box!  Sorry for the bad photo, I couldn't get the pic off of my camera so I took this with my phone.  Better glamour shots and pics of drinks to come!!

CAR!!!!!!!!!!
Yep, you read right, I got a CAR!!!!!  Guess what it is... A SMART car!!!  So I found it on craigslist on Friday, and it looked great from the get go.  It had only 4,000 miles, it is a 2008 model, and a convertible!  So, I looked up reviews, and they looked good so we went and test drove it saturday afternoon.  It drove REALLY well, and i just loved it!  So we talked about financing and stuff (my parents and I) and decided I would buy it!  I calculated monthly payments and I think i can afford them with my upcoming (hopefully) job at Press Coffee.  (knock on wood!)  So, here are the pics from the previous owner.  I will be picking it up tonight, I am SO excited!

the inside, suprisingly big for such a teeny tiny car!

Again, not the best pictures, but you get the idea ;)  I am SUPER excited  =D

So, in other news, I am just about ready to move into the house!!  We get possession this wednesday, and we are moving in next saturday!  Finally!  It seems like forever!  But it will be worth it :)

And, because we are getting quite tired of this apartment kitchen, meals have been good, but simplistic.  IE, I haven't wanted to post pictures!  Really not all that exciting ;)

I hope you are all having a FANTASTIC start to your week!!  I will talk to you soon, I promise this time :)
