I love smoothies!!!
(this is the good part by the way)
I saw on Pinterest that someone used a smoothie base and then froze them to use later.
I loved it.
So I did it and I have been eating them all week!
These are some of the frozen muffin tin things.
I haven't put them in a bag yet.
They are made from oranges, greek yogurt, and spinach.
Hunter says that they look like troll food.
I figure troll food must taste really good because these do.
So I stick one of those in a mason jar and add berries.
Actually this morning I added 2 or them and then many berries.
To many actually, it when from sweet to a bit tart.
Still tasty though and super healthy
Finally I add some coconut milk (because I no longer drink cow milk) and blend with my hand blender.
Unfortunately I didn't take a picture of the final result.
Instead I drank it.Delicious!
On to other things
(this is the good, the bad, and the ugly)
This has been a most entertaining week.
Let me explain.
I started this week with a pretty bad bout of insomnia.
That took up the first half of the week.
I also had a bit of a sore throat but I thought that may be because of the cold weather and not sleeping...unfortunately it got progressively worse as the week went on.
During this time of unrest I worked at the temple on Monday and on Tuesday I gave a presentation.
That was by far the easiest presentation I have ever given.
You wouldn't think it would be since I put it together Tuesday morning but I was very blessed and am very, very grateful.
Blessings, blessings.
Oh, this is Megan's USB that she let me put my presentation on.
His eyes glow when he is plugged in.
Super cool.
Finally Wednesday night I slept.
And Thursday night actually, after I filled in another grant application.
Friday was pretty fantastic.
Hunter and I did our monthly Costco trip which also includes a trip to Karen's for her piano lesson.
This Friday we also went to campus to:
Turn in my grant application and pick up stuff from the department.
Go to the library.
Go to the advisement center and get Hunter an appointment.
Shop (we got Hunter a BYU Spiderman t-shirt...yep those exist) and read before Hunter's appointment at the advisement center.
Wait for Hunter while she met with an adviser.
Go get Hunter's oil changed.
While we waited for the oil change Hunter bought me lunch.
Then we went to Hunter's piano lesson,
and then Costco,
and then Wal-Mart,
and finally home to watch Skyfall.
Friday was very busy.
Since I was finally sleeping I looked forward to a long sleep Friday night.
Unfortunately it was not meant to be.
At about 2:00 am I woke up with my eyes molded shut and my throat (which got progressively worse over the week) swollen and raw.
I had all the symptoms of strep throat and pink eye...at the same time.
I was not a very happy camper, especially since I am supposed to study for a Cyndy exam this weekend.
BUT, I am trying to focus on the positive.
I wouldn't have gotten an antibiotic for my throat unless something drastic happened...like pink eye.
+1
We also had the antibiotic I needed at home so I didn't have to go to the InstaCare
+2
I was able to catch up on a lot of sleep yesterday and still study while I was bedridden.
+3
So, really, if you think about it with some perspective, the end of my week was a blessing.
In disguise of pink eye and strep throat.
Sometimes you have to go through the crappy but God's timing is always best.
- For example if this had happened at the beginning of the week I would have bombed my presentation.
- If it had happened in the middle of the week I would have missed necessary work hours.
- If it had happened even one day earlier I would not have had groceries for the month.
I am desperately praying that I will be able to take my test on Monday.
I don't think it will be a problem, I technically am no longer contagious.
I just look like a stoner and sound like a smoker.
No big deal.
I really am truly grateful for my blessings this week, no matter what form they came in.
Happy Sunday all!
