Things that are awesome

angelchickenFIRST! A question: I made egg muffins (they were awesome) yesterday and I thought I sprayed my muffin pan thoroughly, but apparently not because the egg is seriously caked onto the sides and WON'T COME OFF! I soaked, I scrubbed, I elbow greased, but that egg is stubborn! Any suggestions? Vinegar? Oil? Baking soda? I am hesitant to use cleaning supplies (Clorox spray or 409) because it seems like a bad idea, but I am willing to admit I may be wrong about this. Anyway, ideas would be much appreciated!
AND NOW THE AWESOME!
♥ I have spent SO MUCH time this week with Sister and Little Baby! He is so sweet and smiley and wonderful and when he starts to really cry he snorts which would be funnier if he wasn't really distressed, but is still a little bit funny.
♥ I don't have TB! I didn't really think I did, but it's nice to have it confirmed. I'm also pretty sure I don't have a criminal record (as I keep getting employed at places that require criminal background checks and nothing has pinged) but will know for certain in five to ten business days.
♥ This is my LAST WEEK of Summer vacation! I have orientation on Tuesday night! And then classes start the following Monday! I received my first text book in the mail (the other five need to be signed for and I wasn't here to do that so I'll have them on Tuesday) (I hope) and in leafing through it remembered how insanely dry and miserable bad text books are. Let us hope the rest are more interesting.
♥ On Wednesday I have my first meeting with the Volunteer Office of Childrens Memorial Hospital! There are, apparently, two options to run by me so I will hear about them and then start the process of learning how to volunteer. Also, I will need ANOTHER criminal background check. I'm wondering if I can't just use the same one twice. I'll ask.
♥ I went grocery shopping while hungry, which isn't awesome, which I know I shouldn't do, but I did and ended up buying the ingredients to make a seriously delicious blueberry smoothie! So easy! Frozen blueberries, 2% Fage yogurt, 1/3 cup 2% milk and 1TB honey in a blender. Fantastic and refreshing! Why haven't I done this before?
♥ While drinking my smoothie I went through my pantry-cabinet and got rid of all of the old and expired (wasted. Bad AC!) food. Seriously, there was stuff in there pre-mono. It's been over two years since I had mono.
Fun fact: tuna fish has a super long shelf life. I had no idea.
♥ Last night it was cool enough to sleep under the comforter with the window open which was just so cozy and perfect. Added bonus: I just washed my sheets so the bed was totally fresh and clean. *bliss*
♥ Running my errands ended up working out to a 3.5 mile walk so I have gotten in my exercise for today!
♥ Tomorrow is the first class of my fourth session of guitar. I'm totally adequate! And getting better!
♥ I got a Groupon for four introductory Spanish classes for $65.00! It expires in a year, so I am thinking of using it in the late fall (I don't want to take too much on at once). Yay! I will learn Spanish, by gum!
Happy Labor Day to my friends in the States! Happy Weekend to my friends who are in other countries!
