Lent Goal Update

So I realize that I haven't updated about my "Lent" Goal a lot. Well, its a few days past the ending date we set and I have learned a few things:

1.) I have a new found love for alfalfa sprouts! They are SOOOOO good on salads and sandwiches. (And if it didn't look so funny, I may just eat them out of the box! (after rinsing, of course!)

2.) By not rushing to the "Golden Arches" to avoid the inevitable lunch rush line at the drive-thru, I have been able to stop by a few of the local restaurants in Waterville and Perrysburg. Here they are, listed in order of how much I enjoyed them (from most to... um... not as much as the most, but still good) and my usual at each place:

Dave's Cosmic Subs (My Favorite Sandwich? The Grateful Dave.... it comes with alfalfa sprouts!)

Red Robin (AMAZING Southwest Grilled Chicken Salad!)

Smeedlaps Smithy (Buffalo Chicken Salad)

Coffee Gallery (Don't worry; No coffee was consumed, but they do have good grilled cheese panini's and soup.)

Chowders n' Moore (Fantastic Buttermilk Pancakes served till 2 pm!)

Koral Hamburg (Tuna Melt on Rye)

Sweet Retreat (BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich on Wheat bun and a junior cup of vanilla ice cream with marshmallow topping)

3.) I have eaten more salads in the last 40 days than I may have eaten all last year! Some may not think this a big deal, but with as picky as I used to be with my lettuce, this is quite a feat! I do still like my salad to be green, not white or brown or yellow. Fancy salad blends are good too, so the occasional purple lettuce is quite good as well. I recently went to a steak restaurant and loved the side salad so much that I actually ordered another one!

While in the future I will probably eat fast food, I don't think it will be nearly as often as I had been.

In case you were wondering....

Goal: Not eating fast food for 40 days

Status: SUCCESSFUL!!!!

New Printer?!?!?!?!?

Can it be true? I'm getting a new printer at work?!?!?! I realize this might not be as exciting for you as it is for me. but what you must understand is that I have the oldest computer at work... by like 3 years or more (and in computer age, 3 years is a long time!) I've only been without a printer for like 3 days at work, but even when I did have a color printer, it didn't print on cardstock which ment I couldn't print the business cards, or the time cards. Now I can print color things at my desk that I would either have to have someone else print, or I would have to print them on the other side of the building, meaning I would have to go to the other side of the building, load the correct paper product in the printer, go back to my desk to hit the print button, back to the printer to collect the printed items, then back to my desk to do whatever I had planned on doing with it. (that is if I remember what I was going to do with it)

I am His. As I pulled into camp today, I was listening to some LDS Hymns. When I pulled my car by the lodge, these words were sung: Fear Not, I am with thee oh be not dismayed for I am thy God and will still give thee aid. I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand up heals by my righteous omnipotent hand.

Rough Day

I can't say it's entirely been rough... just the last 20 minutes. The rest of my weekend was great! (that's for a happier blog post later.) As I was on my way home from a birthday party, I realized tomorrow is Monday. I have to go back to work tomorrow. And I don't want to. Going along with that is I'm sick of my job and I'm sick of complaining about my job. I'm grateful for the ability I have to work and provide for myself. I really am. But this last year, it's been really rough. Between a new boss and new rules and procedures I just dont want to be there anymore. I really dont! I'm sick of disliking Sunday nights so much because I know what the next day will bring. Frustration, anxiety, loathing, genereal dislike, feeling underappreciated. I dont know how much more of this job I can take! I was so worked up about this on the way home that I was crying. Then when I walked in the door of my house, I was to the point of being angry. I practicly threw...
