Shorts Rant

Ohh today was a scorcher! I had to leave off my weight lifting until well after the sun went down because it was just too hot.

Evening: 20 minutes bike
weights/strength: triceps, quads, squats, outer thighs, deltoids

Food Diary:
Breakfast: Protein shake - chocolate hemp protein powder, almond milk
Lunch: Lentil/broccoli bowl
Snack: Dr. Praeger's veggie patty
Dinner: Lentil/broccoli bowl, pumpkin with stevia and frozen blueberries

Great news -- my step-dad is running for City Council in Bloomington, Indiana and today he won his primary election. He and my mom have been working their asses off, so I'm very happy for him!

I'm filming tomorrow and today I tried to figure out what to wear but I'm having some trouble. I'm supposed to be a private school student, so they wanted me to dress conservatively or school uniform-like. Low-budget projects often require the actors to supply their own wardrobe. Unfortunately, I don't own any clothes like that! I really don't own dressy or conservative clothes, and I got rid of all my polo shirts years ago. All of my skirts are short and not at all conservative. Crap. I went to the mall and couldn't find a polo shirt or pleated skirt in the entire damn place. Finally I went to Ross Dress for Less and looked in the little boy's section and bought a gray polo shirt for $7. I'm still a little SOL on a skirt so I'm thinking about wearing the shirt over my purple dress.

I tried on a couple pairs of shorts while I was at the mall and I hated all of them. I just don't understand why people want their shorts so tight and short! And why are all sizes of shorts equally proportionally short? I get that size 0 girls might want some booty shorts but I would think a size 8 might want a little butt room. I would love to go up a size if it would give me a little more length but all the shorts seem to be equally short and they just get bigger in the waistband. Ugh. Blah.

Transfer of Life Safety Code Oversight from CDPHE to DPS in accordance with HB 12-1268: Progress Report

Facility Administrators Please click here to find a progress report on the implementation of House Bill 12-1268 which transfers Life Safety Code (LSC) oversight from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) to the Department of Public Safety (DPS) effective July 1, 2013. Both agencies will be involved in licensure and Medicare/Medicaid certification of facilities (for hospice this only includes those with inpatient beds), so to date, HB1268 implementation has focused on the new infrastructure needed to transition responsibility and create a smooth workflow between CDPHE to DPS. The next phase of implementation will be more focused on stakeholder involvement regarding licensure regulations and new administrative processes associated with obtaining and renewing licensure and certification. The progress report provides information on the tasks that have been completed, the tasks that are ongoing, as well as contact information if you have specific quest...

Quinoa Salad and My Busy Life

Image
On Friday night a (vegan) friend of mine hosted a potluck with about ten friends. I wanted to bring something tasty but also healthy that I would want to eat if I got stuck with leftovers, so I made a big quinoa salad! And then I kept a lot of it for me. =) I just cooked up some quinoa and added a can of chickpeas, a red onion, a few carrots, a few cucumbers, and a miso seasoning. I used this cool stuff I found at Gelsons the other day: It makes instant miso soup but also works great as a sauce. I also added spicy mustard and rice wine vinegar. I ate quinoa salad leftovers on lettuce and spinach for the next couple days. Yum. On Monday I started my improv 201 classes! I'm loving them already. My day was jam-packed and I was out of the house from 10 AM to 11:30 PM. I brought an apple, a grapefruit, and some edamame to eat throughout the day. After my improv class I went over to an actor friend's house where we've started a little cold reading class of our own just for practi...
