My Week in a Nutshell

1. I wonder if there's a clause on the job application to be a drug rep: Non-hotties need not apply. Seriously. I've never seen a drug rep who is not good looking and well dressed. I wish they would stop it because it makes me feel extra shabby in my flip flops and piggy tails.

2. I've recently been on a vitamin kick. I bought some multi-vitamins and some fish oil capsules (buy one get one free). On the side of the fish oil, it says, "FUEL YOUR GREATNESS". Yes, yes, that's what I am doing. I am great and I am fueling it with fish oil. The secret to my awesomeness is out.

3. In the race to see who would be the first person to get fully naked in my massage class, I'm proud to say I came in first place last night. It's very awkward to be wrapped in a sheet, sitting in front of five other people. However, it was well worth it because I got a hot stone massage. Good grief, it was one of the best things to ever happen to me.

4. I thought I was getting the most bang for my buck by eating oatmeal for breakfast yesterday and today. I thought I would easily be able to make it to our 2 pm lunch time - apparently not. I get hungry faster when I eat oatmeal. Then I have to sneak candy from the candy bowl at work which cancels out any nutritional value gleaned from the oatmeal. I don't know if I'll be able to trust Bob from the Biggest Loser after this - he's the one that told me oatmeal is a good breakfast.

5. I can't believe Christmas is only six weeks away. Even more than that, I can't believe they have Christmas candy in the stores and are advertising for Christmas toys. I'm glad I'm not a parent yet. I would have to ban my little Christmas-happy babies from watching any TV and also from writing their Christmas lists. I am a Scrooge.

6. Leaving home at 8:10 am and not getting back until 10:45 pm with a 20 minute lunch break at 2 pm is HARD. I'm exhausted and my body is rebelling. I still have no idea how to balance my meals, sleeping time, and study time. Not that I've started studying yet, but I've thought about it...REALLY HARD.

7. I made a mixed CD for The Receptionist. You know what she said to me? "You didn't put any Brittany Spears on it, which is good." Ummm...hello! Brittany is AWESOME. I totally own her greatest hits CD. True, she sucks as a person, but you really can't beat any song that says, "I'm a SLAAAAAAVE for you..." accompanied by heavy breathing.

8. I've had a very hard week at work. I cried three times. I can't tell you how happy I am that it's Friday. I'm hoping I can re-coup and come back next week without dreading it.

9. My friend, Holli is now volunteering at the Humane Society. She put the website for pet adoption on her blog. I should have known not to look at it, but I did. I started crying as soon as I saw all those kitties without someone to love them. I also found a cute little orange kitty named Rose who NEEDS to come live at my house. Husband is holding strong on not breaking the "no pets" rule at our apartment despite my best efforts to persuade him otherwise.

10. I'm especially grateful for Husband this week. He's been such a good sport about me going back to school. He made dinner twice and even went grocery shopping.

Didn't Bob say to have snacks? Healthy ones like an apple or something? ... I think you are missing some of the important info. :]

I knew you'd love school! Have you had fiber one bars? Only eat one per day (trust me) but eat it with a glass of water and you aren't hungry for three hours. Great snack. Oh, and rolled oats stay better with you than quick oats and Irish oats are the best (stone ground). Have a great Saturday. You deserve it!

Brandon (my hubbie) says you would do well in Portland. They just recently passed legislation making nude bicycle riding legal. Be off with you, nudie pants. You're going to Oregon! Yeehaw!

I am TOTALLY moving to Portland. I've always wanted to ride my bike naked!

Jen, I can't eat apples. They give me headaches.
