Serendipity

I had the most awesome case of karma this week. Here it is:

When I was leaving for work, my roommate's car was next to mine and I got the thought for the second day in a row that I should scrape her car. So I did. There wasn't any ice and it was way easy. I was done in like 30 seconds.

Later that day I decided to look on ksl to see if there were any washers or dryers being sold. I wasn't looking to buy any. I was just curious to see how much I should be looking to pay eventually, because it's annoying to have to always have quarters and lugg my clothes across the complex. Well, I didn't find anything great on ksl so I decided to check craigslist. The second or third thing listed was a washer and dryer for $300. I researched the machines and realized it was a steal of a deal. So I emailed the guy who had posted them. We emailed back and forth all day trying to figure out if I wanted to buy them. Then it came out that he and his family were moving to Florida in two days (their new place already had machines) and they needed to sell them now! I was hesitant to make such a big purchase. I think he could tell because he emailed me and told me if I came over that night and picked them up, he'd give me both of them for $200. Um, yeah! SOLD! So I called everyone I knew with a truck, finally found one and took two of my guy friends to help me pick them up. So in one day, I accidentally purchased a washer (2 years old) and a dryer (5 years old) for only $200. Can you say awesome deal??!! I haven't tried them yet, because I had to buy a new plug for the dryer (different socket in my wall, so it didn't fit) and an extension for my drain tube. But I'm looking forward to started doing laundry in my own apartment!

Guys I'm totally an adult! I own major appliances! haha My dad told me I'm becoming domestic. haha

This week ended up being busier than I expected (I went on two dates. In ONE week. That's a record! haha and no, nothing is going to come from either one of them), plus other things came up, so I only got to work out three days. But it's better than nothing so here's how I did:

Monday - 100 push ups, 100 sit ups, 100 squats. Then spinning machine for 40 mins. Total about 60 mins

Thursday - 35 minutes eliptical

Saturday - Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred Level 2. Just about killed me! It was great!

So I think I can do a lot better this week, but it's a good start and a good way to get into the habit of working out regularly. I'm doing what I can!

Today I was watching the CMA Holiday show thing on Hulu and I discovered a new singer/celebrity crush. Have you heard of Scotty McCreery? Turns out I already knew his most popular songs. But man is his voice AWESOME! I love it! Too bad he's barely 18 haha That would make it less weird to crush on him. Oh well. Here's a taste in case you haven't heard of him.

That's all for now. Have a great week!
