mmmm pancakes

Today was very good. Pumpkin Pancake mix came in the mail as a pleasant surprise! An out of town trader joes treat! The are the best pancakes in the world!! I really do love my Mom's buckwheat pancakes, but these are made with fluffy white flour!! It's like the difference between Ezekiel bread and Sourdough. One is so healthy and made with so much love, but pumpkin pancakes taste like a mixture of Indian Chai tea and pumpkin pie swirlly into a fluffy buttery pancake-Nothing beats it-yes nothing, not even First Watch pancakes. RBC tomorrow. Yay I miss the HVAC crew and especially the cute little Cafecito Lady!


THANK YOU FOR THE PANCAKES JULIA!

Ok i just need to stop doing search work because i don't do it i look at cat pictures! LUNA hah this is the same picture that i hung in the bathroom what a quisidense...i dont know how to spell that one

as I lounge in the ac.....

Hot hot and humid! Florida never fails with its timely weather! It was a nice day in service though- although non of my calls were home but that is OK I will try again tomorrow!  Well, all this talk of exercising and meagan getting up at 5 am to do her gwenyth paltrow dvds I felt like I was majorly falling behind my peers so I got up at, yes at the not extremely early 7 am. I only snoozed for half an hour. P90 X cardio bring it on!! The TV room was not big enough for this intensity. They have you do catch the air basketball, now throw the air basketball for ever then oblique jumping jacks amongst other things.  My face was the color of a tomato lacking oxygen! Ah but it felt amazing especially a cold shower afterwards.

We had band practice the other night, it went well thanks to the fact that we all practically had our own personal coach. Ben helped me and Sophie with our "strings section"(he practically wrote us sheet music! sweet.), Caleb got Nina sounding swell on the drums-very steady beat, and Tom assisted with meagan singing and overall conducting of the song.  We finished half of a Pas secret version of a there is light that never goes out by the smiths. What would we do without them? Probably watch movies. I woke up the next morning feeling beat up from the instrument it was like a musical bootcamp that made my pinky finger want to crack. Sophie is in our band now, too. It is so much fun to play with her beautiful violin playing!

GUESS WHAT??
Vampire Weekend and Beach House  (don't worry they don't sing about vampires and they named themselves before the recent vampire craze) are coming to FL. They sure got popular last time they were here they had a free show now its like 40 bucks. But, well worth it! I am so excited!

summertime just began...a week ago

You betcha it is hot and humid and now raining! The AC broke at work today.....Yikes. I kept telling myself its OK this is what Panama is like, no AC, endure, don't go home, yes! It was insane how many people sat on those couches despite the 91 degree room temperature.

THE NATIONAL is coming to Florida! YAY. And it isn't until October, so lots of time to anticipate this great event! I can't believe the "convenience" charges for these tickets seems rather absurd to me.

What a great day in service! I am so happy I found my bible student at home! It had been a month!! I was beginning to think she must have gone off to India or something....and yes she had been there for 27 days. Getting behind in my time from school this semester was not fun, but it is nice doing practically nothing but going out in service these last couple of week.

I feel like I am slowly getting my power back at my job. I think I might have abused it last time I had it so I will try hard to be discreet this time. Mwhahahahah

at avril and travis's wedding

Tom's EP release! and other things!!!

Tom Moore played his new EP at Stardust Coffee tonight. I was very impressed with the looping of music and such cute lyrics. PLUS Meagan Moore (from Pas Secret) sang towards the end of the set. She did so good. Her voice sounds like a little angel! aww. "I need you in my young days". la la laa la la lah la You can listen to his songs!

Well, as of today PAS SECRET plans on opening for Tom Moore's show at Austin's Coffee house on July 24th. And as of recent we might have a new band member.... I love recruiting people. We have lots of work, but love the pressure of a show to make us jam our clashing schedules together!

Such an awesome day in service. It was so HOT. But I finally found this lead for an interested Hindi family in a gated community and someone finally got so annoyed with me punching the directory numbers that they let us in!!!! I met the nicest family from South India, a place called Kerala. Persistence pays off!

Our dog is so cute. After having him for years he just learned how to go up the stairs- but we don't really want him up here. So he gets stuck at the top of the stairs because he is too afraid to go down. I think he likes to hang out with cat even though there is a glass door. I am trying to find a home my cat. :( IF ANYONE WANTS A REALLY CUTE CAT let me know. He is declawed though so he has to stay inside. (I was not the one who handicapped him-but it is actually kind of nice he won't put hole in your couch)

WOW so I finally looked this up new sampler album from amazon-!!!! and it looks really good you get a a whole big cd for free! I'm downloading it now I think its new music!Digital Bang: The 2010 Sub Pop Sampler For Amazon

FRIDAY! is a great day!

Oh avril, mi hermana.

Imhansiemhonehi - now that's a long name. Me and kathy did search work till 10 o clock! Phew. It's about time I get some territory to do!

2 days of working with my boss! Lovely......but no! One more day.

I MISS YOU VIOLETTE.

I must be on time tomorrow. Although, I was only 6 minutes late today. And my boss takes over anything I find to do at work before I get to do. For example, (I feel so guilty reading my magazine when I know he can see me) So I found these really cool posters that "corporate" sent us of this new Hawaiian HAzelnut Coffee and they come with frames! So I set them all out on the floor and started figuring out how to put them in these frames- But then we get a customer- as I am making the drink, I look over and my boss was doing it- taking over the project. By the time I was done making the drink, my boss was back to youtube watching Korean futball, the framing was finished and they were leaned against the counter top, my idea, because apparently we are not allowed to put holes in the wall. And the herbalife products, which are number one ingredient- soy, products right in front of the pretty posters)  OHH maybe that's why he is so grumpy: all the powdery soy products!

Clove oil- I should have guessed

Talk about boringest weekend ever! I thought silly wisdom teeth soreness was supposed to go away in two days. But, no, day four and the throbbing pain in my lower right jaw was excruciating. The pain pills just made me sob- nonstop- I couldn't tell if I was crying because my tooth hurt or my face hurt from crying. I called the surgeon Saturday night and he told me that I probably had something called a dry socket. Which is when the blood clot either doesn't form or gets spit out. I went there today and he stuck little pieces of gauze that had been drenched with clove oil inside of the holes in my mouth.. Oh and the relief! It feels so amazing. My mom gave me a whole bottle of clove oil and I just keep rubbing it all over my gums!

wisdom teeth out!

It is the weirdest procedure! You can't eat or drink for 6 hours before! Starving. I was so scared- They make you squeeze a happy face ball; then they stick a needle in your arm, which is very quick, but hurts. Once they did that I couldn't hold back tears anymore. I started balling! But then all I remember is tears turning into laughing. It is so strange then waking up and you can't remember anything! I kept laughing then crying and back and forth. Then they send you out the back door. It sure was eventful. My cheeks aren't even puffy- I was hoping for some chipmunk cheeks oh well. My mom was so nice, I kept telling her she didn't have to stay with me and I was fine. But I am so glad she did- the numbness wore off and she gave me painpills and then she even spoon fed me a smoothie. (all I could think about prior to the surgery was how I was going to eat so much after because I was so hungry, but then i couldnt even get the food in my mouth) Pain pills are so weird my head keeps swaying back and forth.....
