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...

Dear Momma

Dear Momma, How is it that you've been gone 21 years today? There are pictures of you that were taken when you were sick that I don't like to look at very often. Mostly because you are noticeably thinner and you can tell that the jaundice is starting to set in. And you look so sad. I think we all look a little sad in those pictures because we knew that the end was near. In my 39 years on earth, I didn't think that you would be gone for more than half of it. I didn't think I'd missing you this much either but there are little things that happen during my day that remind of you. Sometimes those little memories make me smile and sometimes I'm so overcome with a soul crushing sadness that I have to swallow the lump in my throat so I can keep going on with my day. Today, though, I'm sitting in the emotion of wishing that you were here. It sucks. It's completely unfair that you were taken. It's unfair that the doctors didn't find the cance...

Reasons

So, you remember from the last post when I said things were "a-changin'"? Well, they are. I'm moving to Hillsboro, Oregon. ETA: November 1st, but probably November 4th so I can at least finish the pay period instead of leaving in the middle of it. Anyway, here's a quick list of things I bet you didn't know about Hillsboro: *It's near the ghost town of Idiotville, Oregon. Real place. Wiki or google it. *What Draper, Utah is to SLC is exactly what Hillsboro is unto Portland. Almost the same place. *Has AMAZING parks and waterfalls. *All voting is done by mail. Secretly, I'm a little bummed about not getting a "I voted" sticker. Okay, so I could only really think of 4 things that you might not have known about Hillsboro or the surrounding area. Oregon as a state though, is pretty dang fantastic. I'll finally be able to partake in the Goonie-for-the-day festivities in Astoria. While there are many reasons why I'm moving away, the main rea...
