Oh the randomness of it all...

So, I'm sitting here at work and I'm really kind of tired. I got enough sleep and I've eaten...I shouldn't be tired, dang it! I need to open the door so there's some cool air coming in through the store. Hopefully that'll keep me awake.

*wait, customer approaching. Looks like I have to go back to work for a minute*

Ok, while she's busy looking, I'll keep blogging away. I haven't heard from the lady in Alaska, yet. I'm kind of hoping that's where I need to be for the summer. I need to get away from Provo and the "Happy Valley" and just people in general. I've been in Utah Valley for almost 5 years. Moving here was my last big adventure and ever since then, I've been stuck. I don't make enough to go somewhere on a whim and I've had a lot more responsibilities to deal with. I need to get out. I need a vacation. In the past 5 years, I haven't had a proper vacation. Going to visit family isn't vacation, going on ROC tour is most definitely not vacation and a 3 day trip to Vegas can't be considered vacation because we didn't do anything the whole entire time. And even if I'll be working while I'm in Alaska, it'll still be nice to get away for a little bit. At least I won't have to buy summer clothes. At least not a whole lot of them.

The customer left. Thank goodness. I should really be putting books away. I'm not feeling motivated. It's way too warm in here and it's making me groggy. Ok, off I go in search of how to make this dang building cooler!

It's Okay to Be Sad

I'm sitting in my room nursing a 7-up because I ate too much cheese with my dinner. Being lactose sensitive, edging on completely intolerant, totally sucks. Sometimes dairy doesn't bother my stomach too much, but I guess eating cheese on a completely empty stomach wasn't the greatest idea but damn, that artichoke and spinach cheese dip was delicious. Was it worth it in the end? Meh..I could go either way at the moment. I just had a memory pop up of my first swig of raw cow milk. It was delicious and totally didn't make my stomach hurt. Anyhow, at lot has been swirling around my brain as of late. Here is a bullet list of the swirling mess: When I left UVU a little over 10 years ago, my GPA was a 1.95. When I came back in the fall I had to fill out a satisfactory academic progress (SAP) report thing to 1.) get my financial aid released, and 2.) promise to get a C or better for the remainder of my time at UVU. Well, I barely got a D in sociology 1010 class in the fa...

Late...As Usual

So, turns out that I'm not so great at posting on here as I once was. I was even late to post my once yearly Dear Mom post. I really have no excuses other than I've been out of school for almost 3 weeks now since I started going full-time in January. I'm pretty sure the last time I posted anything was in October of last year. Anyway, let's play catch up! I started school full-time in January at BYU-Idaho's online program. I completed 28 credits this year. I'm ready for a break. The accreditation for the public health degree program changed but the changes only apply for the on-campus students and not the online students - aka me. So I'm going to have to transfer schools...again. I've been looking at grad programs in Portland, Oregon. Portland calls my name at least once a year, and I always research reasons to move back. The first time I moved there I was under prepared. I moved with the wrong person. When I move back, I'll be done with school...

A Healthy Start

So, you know when the beginning of the new year rolls around and you recommit yourself to begin a healthier lifestyle and then you kind of crash and burn somewhere around the end of the month? Yeah...I've been there. Like every year of my my twenties. For some reason, the closer I get to turning 32 - yikes! when did that happen??? - the more I think about where I want my life to go, what I want to do, who I want to be...you get the point. Almost a week ago, I started exercising every day with just one rest day a week. Today - Saturday - is my rest day. It also is my sugar day. Anyhow, last Sunday I was sitting in my room perusing Pinterest. I was coming off a graveyard shift sleep the daylight hours away stint and I was bored. I said to myself, "You should do something healthy today. You've slept all day and have energy to burn." Somehow I ended up on this wall exercise chart thing on a friend's board and I thought, I can do this. It's quiet. I won't wake...
