woah! class overload!!!!!

WHEW! Today we got bombarded with stuff to prepare for our reading buddy on Wednesday. I am glad I wasn't the only one who felt a tad bit OVERWHELMED after class today!

I was excited to give blood today
BUT...
My iron was too low.
I'm so FRUSTRATED about that! It happens every single time, but sometimes I get lucky the second time they prick my finger and it will be the absolute minimum number that you need to donate. I DON'T GET IT! I eat lots of fruits and veggies like the paper says! The only thing on that list that I DON'T really eat often is red meat. I think next time I might just take iron pills a few days before I go!

I think it has SOMETHING to do with my poor circulation and being cold. (and today definitely fit that bill EXTRA time because it was POURING rain when I walked to class this morning and after, so my socks were soaked and that made me even EXTRA COLD, and I couldn't do anything about it! :(

I get bummed because I actually try to go every 56 days (that's how long you have to wait before donating again), but I go and then I can't donate! Not gonna lie, I feel like there is something wrong with me and it just puts me in a sad mood.


thank goodness my friend posted this video on facebook and it cheered me up!!! :)

Raspberry Review

My reviews seem kind of repetitive because they all
TASTE SO GOOD!!!

Raspberry was awesome!
I loved the extra taste of raspberry on the very bottom.
I thought it was like a raspberry jam and it just ADDED extra oomph to the overall taste!
:)

TWO THUMBS UP FOR SURE!

Strawberry Review

Strawberry did not fail to please! :)
It was yummy!
I decided to use it in my OatGurt today.

In the mix:
Banana Oatmeal
Strawberry Chobani
Granola

Made it before I left for church and stuck it in the fridge.
It was perfectly cold and delicious when I got home!
YUM!

new favorite inspiration...

Happiness comes from inner PURPOSE,
not by outer pressures!

Pomegranate

usually I don't really eat Pomegranate flavored stuff, but this was not bad!
I loved the yogurt part of it, but I do have one negative...
I didn't like the actual pomegranate seeds mixed in at the bottom.
:(
They were too crunchy and I didn't think it paired well with the creaminess of the yogurt.
BUT, the flavor was good!

babysitting with my bball buddy :)

Chandler LOVES playing bball...

and I love playing with her!

:)

You know those toy dogs that talk and say "Give me a hug", "Let's sing", etc???
well today, Chandler was playing with one and it said "give me a hug", so she dropped the dog and ran and gave me a big ol' hug!

HOW SWEET IS THAT?!!?!?!??

LOVE HER!
