Top 3 Lows
1. The painful process of transferring my blog to another host, setting it up, but having it crash for a couple days was SO stressful. I didn’t want to pay for someone to transfer it for me but if I ever update again I will. Technology is so dumb sometimes!
2. Slow drivers. Why is it that when I always have to be somewhere (like work) I get stuck behind an elderly driver? I get nervous with older people on the road, they really shouldn’t be driving. A lady I got stuck behind on Tuesday would sometimes swerve towards the oncoming cars and I was freaking out!
3. Waking up before my alarm. Damn you, biological clock! You just couldn’t let me sleep for another half hour?!
Top 3 Highs
1. My new job! I started my new job on Sunday at the front desk of the gym where my Dad belongs and I already like it a lot. ? My co-workers are very friendly, helpful, and it’s SO NICE to not be working in a restaurant right now.
2. Having dessert almost every night for the past week! Oh ice cream, you always have my heart. <3 Even if it’s only a little bit, it’s nice to not have to worry about being afraid to eat dessert.
3. Walking to more places instead of driving. Since my Mom got home from Spain, she loved how much walking they did and wants to keep that up back at home. I totally get that because I go to school in a city. In the suburbs it’s so easy to hop in your car and get from point A to B quickly, but hey, why not walk more? It saves gas money and the environment, right? ?
Top 3 Instagrams
1. YES. This could not be more true!! We need carbs to live just as we need positive people to thrive! ?
2. Okay, this is Iceland….next travel spot?! Um, I think YES. My Instagram friend Julia is so talented! Simply breathtaking.
3. This angel food cake looks so delicious and patriotic. More dessert inspiration for ya!
