What's that smell?


Lunch:
Organic Split Pea Soup - with crackers

First impression:
Looks like poo

Second impression:
Smells like puke and poo combo

Tastes:
Great!

Holy monkey! I am so full from lunch. I just had one bowl of soup and I am toast! Seriously, I was a little leery about eating the soup - I have had split pea soup before and I loved it - that's why I bought this. Despite it's smell and appearance - it tasted great! Good investment on my part, thank you thank you. I thought people were going to kill me because I stunk up the joint with my mid-day meal that resembled concentrated evil. Turns out they all knew exactly what it was before I even pulled it out of the microwave. I guess it has one of those distinct smells - like bellybutton, vomit or Swiss cheese.

Then everyone who recognized the stench decided it was appropriate to interrupt my only break time to tell me about their experiences with their own favorite green gooey soup.
Nice.

Did I ever tell you that 95% of the people I work with are idiots?



So.....


How do you like the new template? Nice, huh? Thank you to Nancy, my most favorite Mother-in-law, for her talents and ability to create the coolest blog template in the world!
I love it!

Trav and I did our taxes online on Friday - Let's just say we are REALLY excited to see our bank account in 8-15 days! Woo Hoo!
We wanted some help with our taxes because we weren't sure which credits we qualified for and whatnot, so we went to H&R Block Thursday night after school/work, and we told the guy there that we knew how to do it on our own but we just needed a little help with the credits we qualified for. So he gave us some FREE advice about education credits - and it pretty much doubled our return that we thought we were getting!
When we asked him why he just told us that stuff for free, his response was "It's called Karma, and I like to keep mine good."
What a good egg :)
He's got some good karma coming his way.

We had a good superbowl weekend. We pigged a bit as I'm sure everyone else did. Trav only got to play in one tournament - but he took 8th place and got his money back - so it was just good fun.

Yesterday in class we did this exercise where we paired up and just listened to the other person for three minutes - without saying a word. and then vice versa.
It was so hard not to speak and respond to what the other person was saying - but it was all about listening and really allowing the other person to say all they needed to say.
But anyway - in the process I found that the person I was paired up with, Eric, who is also in my group, got married in October too! He and his wife were married in St. Louis Park, at the same place that Trav and I were considering having our reception if we were to have married in MN. Weird, huh?
So we found we had that in common and then we just kept talking about honeymoon destinations and whatnot - they went to Jamaica - and I was telling him Trav and I were talking about going to Belize.

All that newlywed crap.
