Back at the desk

Well I'm back at the front desk again for another 8 hour shift. I have this 8 hour today, one tomorrow, a 4 hour on Thursday and then it's off to Denver for my birthday weekend! :) Work has been pretty slow this morning. I've already ran all the morning reports for housekeeping and check-ins reports for later this afternoon. I enjoyed MountainHigh fat-free vanilla yogurt with pecans for breakfast this morning and was planning on continuing to read The Rescuer in a little bit.

Last night I spent time with my wonderful roomates! I cooked us all dinner and we watched the latest episode of The Bachelorette (a monday tradition). We also chatted over our most recent topic; weddings and engagements. My roomate Gen just got engaged over the weekend and the excitement in the air is definitely noticeable! Anyone who knows me knows I LOVE weddings!! I even helped Gen start her own wedding website on theknot.com! :) I have already informed Gen that she will be my wedding buddy over the next year haha.

As for today, I'm working until 4pm and then have to run to Walgreens to pick up my inhaler. I've been having some problems catching my breath lately, even when I'm just sitting down so my mom called my doctor and had him re-fill my inhaler. Shout-out to mom! :) After that, I have to head to the church to help with some PR work for a couple of hours. When I get home, I plan on doing some major cleaning! Dishes, clean room and bathroon, and laundry all need to get done! I also plan on going to bed somewhat early tonight since I've only been averaging about 6 hours of sleep a night! Not good! I'm the kind of person who needs about 8 hours of sleep to feel fully rested.

Before I go, I thought I would post a cool picture that was sent to me in an email. It's called a smile from God. Enjoy! :)

Birthdays Galore!

Hello whoever reads this ;),

Well I just got back from a wonderful weekend spent with friends and family! This past weekend (and this coming weekend) are all about the birthday celebrations! On Friday night, I celebrated Tyler's 5th birthday! (Tyler is my boyfriends nephew) We celebrated with tuna noodle casserole and a delicious gluten-free chocolate cake shaped as a race car and completed with bright blue frosting! :) So cute! Saturday I went to the Denver Aquarium (www.downtownaquarium.com) to celebrate the birthday of a family friend! I hadn't been to the aquarium in years so it was fun getting to see all the sea ceatures. I got to touch a sting ray, a starfish, and a sea urchan. On Sunday, Jon and I went to Benihana's (www.benihana.com) to use my birthday certificate. Later that day we also celebrated Theresa's (Jon's sister) birthday/going away party with BBQ and a delicious fruit cake!

And the birthday festivities don't stop there! :) This weekend I will be celebrating my 21st (FINALLY) birthday! But the best part is I get to spend it with all my favorite people! Also looking forward to being off work for 4 DAYS straight! YEAH!
For this week however, I'll be busy with 8 hour shifts, spending time with my wonderful roomates, cooking, bike rides, and finding fun things to do.
Until later,

Hmmm

Well so much for keeping up with my blog this summer haha. My goal was to try and write a blog whenever I was at work since I work at a desk for hours on end not doing anything. But alas, I spent my time on facebook, wedding sites, Mary Kay, people.com, recipe sites, pandora, photography sites, endless google searches, and twitter. I am currently at work for an 8 hour shift (only 2 1/2 hours to go!) and pretty bored. I have already looked at my "usual" sites and surfed the internet for hours. I have also cleaned out all three of my email accounts and am now listening to Colbie Caillat radio (which I highly recommend if you need calming and relaxing music). :)

When I first got to work this morning I was dreading being here for 8 hours. I knew the hours were going to go by slow and everytime I looked at the clock, it proved that thought. But at about 8:26am (only 26 minutes into the shift lol) while I was day dreaming about later today and the fun I'll be having this weekend, I realized even during these quote on quote "boring" moments, I need to appreciate each moment of life. Sounds cheezy, I know, but think about it. If every moment we're only looking forward to the next, are we really appreciating the moment at hand? And so with that, I decided to just read. I am currently reading "The Rescuer" by Dee Henderson. One of my roomates suggested I read it and kindly let me borrow it. I'm only in the 5th chapter but so far it is proving to be a very good book. I was never much of a reader before, but over the last couple of years have found a new joy in this leisure activity.

With that, I think I'll go ahead and read a little more. :)
Until later,

Noel Sarah
