Owl City meets Ramen Noodles

Hello again!
So today has been fun, I feel like I've gotten over the flu even more! Hah, take that! :) Anyways, I'm left with a runny nose and the slight cough. Hopefully I will be even more over it tomorrow!
Today I had to do chores as usual and then I got a call. Someone needed me to babysit! I haven't babysat in a while, and I really needed the money, and then mom says I can't accept the money. *slams on mental brakes* WHAT? And then I realized it was a church event, so I really shouldn't accept it. *sigh* But the kids were adorable and I had a lot of fun, and got showed up by a 5 year old in air hockey. Anyways, I did get payed! They said they were going to pay me and thats that. Well, they didn't say that exactly, but hey. I won't argue with them! :)
So I got home and was really hungry. All I had was a peanut butter and honey sandwich. Not really filling for dinner. So I got on facebook and started to Heather who gave me something new to obsess over! Owl City. He actually is pretty good, I like his style. It's not what I usually listen to, but its pretty good. I love my cousin! :) So anyways, back to food. I looked through the cupboard and found Ramen! So I just enjoyed a nice bowl of Beef Ramen noddles. Where oh where would we be without Ramen? Where would all the missionaries and single college kids, and maybe even newly weds be? Well, I guess there's mac & cheese, but hey you need some variety!
Also, while I was babysitting, I had the tv on while they were sleeping. Down low of course, and I saw this new show coming on. It looks cute. It's on Nick, and is called The Troop. I came in towards the end, so I don't really know how it started but it looks cute. So whenever I'm babysitting (on Fridays, thats when its going to start coming on) I'll have to look for it. Unfortunately, I have to share the tv with a manly man, who of course cannot be asked to watch kid shows! Just kidding, but seriously, we need another tv. Kids should only be asked to bear so much news. But that my friends is another blog, another day. :)
Hope everyone has a good day!

Inner Motivation

I’m really good at doing what people tell me to do. Like, give me an assignment and I can get it done! The harder part comes when you give me more freedom. Like I have to call all the shots?? I actually got feedback from one of my internship supervisors that related to this. I walked into the one on one thinking I was going to get perfect marks. And he surprised me! But in a good way, he told me, “You’re really great at coming to us and asking what you can do to help. I would love it if instead of coming to us and asking what you could do, you instead came to us with an idea or even something that you had already done. Fulfill a need and take that initiative! You are a part of this internship for a reason and we trust you.” That was probably the best constructive feedback I have ever gotten and I really took it in stride. I started looking for ways I could help and contribute instead of just asking. Flash-forward two years later and I was walking into another one on one with

Lessons from a Movie: Ford v Ferrari

Image
So, this is going to sound very ‘English Major’ of me, but I love finding the life-lessons in movies. Or maybe not even finding the lesson, but what did the movie get me to reflect on. I think I can safely blame this on my parents and my background as an English major.  (Side note: I once wrote a paper comparing two Star Trek movies and how the villains reflected world events at the time. It was my favorite paper to write, I just watched the two movies!)  Back to my previous thought, I can blame my parents because after movies we would always debrief on the car ride home. We talked about what we liked and what we thought about the movie (the Avengers series is a lovely conversation starter and I have all the thoughts about those, but to give you a snippet- I’m a big Iron Man fan). Anyways, this weekend we went and saw Ford v Ferrari. It was really good and I was pleasantly surprised! To be honest, I only went because Micah really wanted to watch it and we hadn’t been to t

5 Ways to Make Working Out in the AM Easier

Image
Now, let me first say it says easier, it doesn’t say easy peasy! Starting a workout routine or even starting healthy habits takes time and patience with yourself! Be sure to set achievable goals so that you can start off on the right foot. This means if you don’t work out at all right now, don’t make a goal to work out every day! Think about your schedule and set an achievable goal for yourself. This could be anything from 1 day to 3, but be sure to take small steps. Your fitness is not a destination, it’s a journey! When I first started adding a fitness routine into my daily schedule I started off working out after work. At the time it worked great, but I started to notice that things would start creeping into my workout time. For example, dinner, hanging out with friends, being super tired, etc. I was able to overcome those things, but I really wanted to have more time after work to relax or hang out with friends (this was pre-corona). I moved my workouts to the morning startin
