Sluggish

I realized today that, and I can't believe that I actually feel this way, but I don't think I'm ready for summer yet. Yeah, I know. That's totally unlike me. I'm always the first one to have my summer clothes on, WAY before it's time. I'm always the one to complain about it being too cold and not being ready for fall & winter, but I've been feeling so sluggish lately and the more sluggish I feel, the most sluggish it makes me feel.

I'm in no condition to be putting a bikini on right now. :(

I'll get over it once it actually starts warming up.

When will it be spring in Colorado???

I'm currently blogging from DIA, awaiting my flight to sunny San Diego. I'm so close to warmth.... Yet, so far away. I was originally scheduled for the 8:30 a.m. flight but rebooked on the 12:45p.m. flight (which is now delayed until 2:15 - last I checked)

On the bright side:
  • I made it here on time.
  • My mom made it home safely after she dropped me off.
  • There's free wi-fi at DIA.
  • Taking a later flight meant I could stay at the pool hall a couple extra hours last night to practice.
  • I remembered to wear my snow boots today.
  • I'm warm and comfy at the moment, camped out with my gate in sight.
Some photos from the pool hall last night:

I Heart Trader Joe's!!!

Oh Trader Joe's... How do I love thee? Let me count the ways...

The only good thing about there not not being a Trader Joe's in Colorado is that I would be there EVERYDAY and spend every single penny I made in that store. I love it SOOOO much!!!! I love everything about it!

I love the selection, the theme, the prices, the greenness, and the employees! I just flat out LOVE IT!!!

So far, I've been to Trader Joe's in:
  • Las Vegas, NV
  • Mesa, AZ
  • Phoenix, AZ
  • Maple Grove, MN
  • San Diego, CA
  • Charlotte, NC
These are some of my TJ must-have's:
  • the dried tamarinds, most recently the dried/flattened bananas and dried pomelo limes (and all their dried fruits and nuts)
  • the CHEESE department!
  • the beef jerky and turkey jerky
  • white cheddar cheesy poof snacks
  • Yerba Mate tea
  • just tried their body lotion which I LOVE!
  • all their fresh fruits & vegetables
  • the chicken/apple sausages (and their entire entire meat selection)
  • the all-natural honey/almost bath soap bar
  • their wonderful assortment of sauces and seasonings! mmmmm.... to spice up any meal!
  • these cute little Belgian waffle/molasses cookies (only on special occasions), and of course, their ENTIRE sweets department
  • basically, EVERYTHING ABOUT IT!!!
