First day on the job!

Yep, that's right!  Yesterday was my first day working at Press Coffee!!

Nope, I didn't pour this, but it's pretty right?? (C) Press CFW

So, it was great!  It feels good to finally get working after this long long process!  I learned a LOT on my first day!  I learned how to clean mostly, and clean I did!  A lot of things need cleaning that you wouldn't even think of!  I also learned how to take orders, brew coffee, etc.  It is hard work, but everyone is so nice, and I just enjoy being there!  My goal is to work my way up to being able to work on the espresso machine! 

Tomorrow, I am leaving for my cousin's wedding in Sedona!  I have never been there, but everyone says how beautiful it is, so I think it will be good.  I am not excited about missing my bike ride saturday morning, but I am going to running in Sedona, and i hope to have some beautiful sights!

Well, that is pretty much all I have for you, I made a few interesting food items, but I will put those in another post.  

I hope that you are all having weeks that are just as Beautiful as you are!

Hello all my fellow bloggers!  I hope you are all having a fantastic weekend!

I was pretty busy this week, but I have some GREAT news!  It looks like I got the job at Press Coffee!!  I got a call on Monday about availability, and I am scheduled to come in on Wednesday for training and my first shift!  I am beyond excited =D  

And yesterday was quite an amazing day as well!  I went on a bike ride with my team, then I met my dad at this grocery store/cafe called AJ's where he stopped after his ride.  I got a Fage Greek yogurt with peach on the side.  Haven't had one of these in a while, but they were so so good!  We also worked around the house quite a bit, putting hardware on cabinets, and a lot of other stuff.  Common theme huh? ;)  Then we went to Bicycle Haus to find out about ordering a team bike for next year, as well as get me some shoes because I am was in desperate need for them!  So long story short, I love the Bicycle Haus, and I got a great deal on some shoes and ordered a bike for the upcoming season!  I am excited because it is going to be the first new bike I have ever had! (except for my first ever road bike...)  It is pretty awesome, here is a picture of what it will look like!

So I am really excited to get it!  It is supposed to come in around the end of the month...

Then I made cajun salmon last night, which I didn't picture because it looked terrible :( It tasted good, but  I cooked the skin side down first, and it made the other side look absolutely terrible :/  At least it tasted good though I guess...

Then today I went on a ride with my dad, which was really nice!  The weather was absolutely beautiful both days this weekend!  Now I really know why people love it here so much!  I won't have any trouble getting used to this ;)  On our way home from the ride we stopped by this bakery I had seen, but never been to, called Gallileo.  Anyone local should for sure try it, it is at the corner of Hayden and Mountain View, in a little shopping center.  I got some amazing bread there!!!  Seriously, it makes me want to start baking again, and it reminded me so much of the great bread in Germany!!  Here is a snap shot...

so, I ate some of that right there, and put the rest in my pocket to take home :p

Then I found this video of somebody who put a Hayabusa motorcycle engine in a smart car :p

I WANT!!!  I know I am a car geek, but don't you think this is cool!?!

Then today included a nice nap, some more work on the house, and a bit of blogging :)  Pretty good weekend I think!  Nice and relaxing :)

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend and got some great relaxation and are prepared for a wonderful week ahead of you :)

Have a great Monday!

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
