Can I get a chocolate milkshake, please?

I have been in Lima, Ohio since Sunday and will not return home till Friday evening. My training starts at 8am and goes until 7pm. I have to do this Monday-Thursday and on Friday, I'm finished by 12:30.

After training today, I decided to try out one of the chocolate protein supplements. I bought a bottle of water and a supplement and was on my way. I mixed the water and supplement and found that it was turning a red color. She had given me the cherry gelatin mix. Ok, disgusting! So, after dinner I was still craving something chocolate so I go to dairy queen. I asked if they had hard dipped ice cream and the girl said "yes, but only in chocolate". If you all could have seen my face you would have thought I was 11 years old getting four scoops of chocolate ice cream at the old DQ in Morehead. I asked her if she could make it into a milkshake and proceed to tell her that I like my milkshakes thick. She was like "Sure". I get my milkshake and get into the car. I take a sip to find that it was vanilla soft serve with little chocolate pieces in it. I get out of the car and ask her if this was "chocolate hard dipped ice cream" she looked at me as though I was an idiot and said, "YES". I left. I know what hard dipped ice cream looks like and taste like and this is SOOO not it. Well, I was not going to be out done. I decided I would go to Arbys and get a Jomoca shake. I wait in the long line at Arbys, as usual, get my shake and head back to the Hotel. It's seriously not my day. The milkshake doesn't even have a taste! At this point I had given up, I would just get my 100 calorie bar and be done with it. I walked into the hotel pissed and annoyed, but only to be thrilled, excited, and satisfied. There on the front counter were WARM CHOCHOLATE CHIP COOKIES! Thank you god!


I have decided that no one can make a milkshake as good as my papaw. Therefore, I will not get my hopes up for a milkshake anymore!

Wedding planning...

It seems as though the wedding planning is coming right a long. I found my wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses this past weekend at a local dress store in Morehead. I'm so happy that I was able to find everything that I was looking for locally! It seems as though my wedding party continues to get bigger, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm so excited! The next big step would be the cake tasting...Now, I already know who I want to do the cake and what flavor(s) that I want, but it is a RULE that you go cake tasting. I mean, I love CAKE and this lady who owns SugarForce, can make some incredible cakes! So, needless to say Brian and I will make a special trip to SugarForce.

I need some support from my fellow readers...Brian believes that it would be "awesome" if all the groomsmen including himself grow mustaches for the wedding. I know he's not serious, but he could be? That is the awful part, I don't know! You never know with these boys what they will do.

Sugarland!

I have great news! Brian and I have floor seats to go see one of my favorite country music bands, Sugarland! I am so excited! We are going with some of our friends!! The first time I saw Sugarland was in Winchester at one of their local fairs and they were amazing then! I cannot wait!

Random thought of the day.

I don't normally post twice in one day, but I couldn't help but laugh at this random thought I had this evening. I asked Brian to pour me a glass of crystal light and he came back with maybe a sip to drink. He did this knowing he would have to go back in the kitchen and pour me some more, but I guess it was worth the laugh. Right? It made me think of the time when my mom asked my dad to get her a cup of water. So, sure enough he came out with a measuring cup of water. My mom asked why he put it in a measuring cup and his reply was, "you said you wanted a CUP of water, I just wanted to make sure you got what you wanted." That is such a typical guy thing to do.

Browines!

I have been sick for the past couple of days. I have been unable to taste anything that I eat. So, I thought to myself, there is no need to eat anything good because what's the point if you can't taste. Yesterday I was craving brownies. Brian insisted that I make some. Now if there is one thing that I MUST taste that would be the delicious, warm, chocolate chuck brownies that I make OH SO WELL. I came home for lunch today and have figured that my taste buds are back in gear and are dying, absolutely dying, for some brownies. So now I must head to the kitchen to make something AMAZING!



p.s. My Exam today went well. I didn't get my grade, but I'm sure I passed!

Promatx Gym

Well for those of you who did not know, I got a job and I started this past Monday. It was only supposed be part-time for the first three weeks, but I put in enough hours by Tuesday. This gym is running a weight loss program. The program is expanding so quickly, that they need me to get trained ASAP. I have a test tomorrow over the whole program. So, hopefully I will do well. They want to turn the whole weight management and Metabolism Re-Trainer part to me. I was able to counsel 7 members today. And it was so much fun! I feel like I did a pretty good job for the first time.

I will keep you updated!!!

It's Great to be Home!!

Brian and I have been back for almost a week now and it has been great. It has been nice to get back into our apartment and get things settled and arranged properly. We are very excited about this weekend. We are having our engagement party with close friends and family and then we will spend the rest of the week out at Lake Lewman with some of our friends. It should be a good time.

Update on my employment status, I go for a second interview tomorrow at a gym called Promatx Gym. I am applying for the Nutrition health coach, as well as, the personal Metabolism Retraining position. Fingers crossed!
