I don't know what it is about Girl Scout cookies. Maybe, it's because they are only available once a year. Perhaps, it's the cute little kids that so innocently ask you to purchase the little bits of heaven. Personally, I'm leaning more towards the theory that tiny morsels of crack are hidden inside. This time of year, the Girl Scouts should temporarily be known as crack dealers. I told my dealer today to cut me off. She was not very compliant! Damn her and her neverending access to Thin Mints!
In other news, I'm turning 25 in two days. I don't see what the big deal is. I save money on car insurance. Some people need to calm down about this whole "quarter of a century" business. We'll all be fine! I'm not quite ready to buy any wrinkle cream...mmmkay? Iam super excited about finishing school. It's actually only going to take me about 14 months to finish up my AA, and that is very good news. The CDA thing will be done in Oct, so that's no big deal. I'm moving in a month! It's most likely going to be Renton, but I'm also checking into some possiblities on the Eastside. So...moving party at my place! lol Change is good, but my main concern is helping the girls adjust the best way possible.
Everything is go go go go go right now. It's exciting, and I don't think I want it any other way!

Chicken Head
I had an amazing yet crazy weekend. I spent the better part of Saturday at a training for work. I'm not quite sure why everyone continues to complain about these things year after year. Yes, you give up a Saturday; however, you gain so much from the experience. I, for example, probably gained five pounds throughout the entire event. I arrived at the Starbucks headquarters completely Starvin' Marvin. I wasn't remembering that breakfast would be provided, so I was pleasantly surprised to see Krispy Kremes upon our arrival. Oh Krispy Kremes...it's been years. Four donuts later, I was ready for the valuable training we were about to receive.
I really liked the Keynote speaker they chose. She was funny, seemed to know what she was talking about, and had passion. I love people with passion! However, I disagreed with many things she had to say. Allow the children to jump off tables and shelves in the classroom? I don't think so. Anyway, she had some great ideas that I'm excited to implement in the classroom. I took some classes with some totally awesome coworkers. We goofed off slightly and may have been hated by many other people there. Hey, we were having fun and made the most of it without being disrespectful to the trainer and others around us. Haters! lol
Then, I went with some coworkers to Fado (an Irish pub in Seattle.) I met some cool people that meet before and after every Sounders game. Fado is their official headquarters during the season. Later that night we salsa danced at a bar in Kent. The salsa dancing took place in between sessions of this awesome liberace/elvis impersonator that rocked my friend's world. It was very amusing. So, this was my very first time on the dance floor...ever. AND wouldn't you know I would be dancing with a guy that has probably been salsa dancing since he could walk. "I will teach you," he said in his spanish accent. Crazy times!
By the way, I spent most of Sunday telling my kids not to call their dad (or me) Chicken Head. Thanks Andi! LOL =)

Sunny day chasing the clouds away
The sun is out today! The sky is blue! I'm excited that hiking season is almost here. I have a book full of trails that I want to get through this summer. My goal was to get through the entire book, but then I realized that some of them were 2-3 day hikes. Unfortunately, with the kids being so young, my hiking adventures are limited to day hikes. I wish there was more time in the week. If only God created an 8th day for hiking. That would be AWESOME!
I'm going back to school to finish up my AA next month. It's something I've been sitting on for quite awhile, so I'm excited/relieved to have made the decision and gotten the ball rolling. The main goal to attain is my PhD in Physical Therapy. The road is long, but the journey will be great!
