The perks of being a wallflower

I don't know why I titled this blog what I did; it was the first thing that ran through my brain as I glanced at the empty space where my title is now being occupied.

Anyway, I'm stuck at my brother's house for the night. At times like these, I wish I had some form of transportation other than the bus or something physical like walking or biking. I don't mind sleeping here. I'd just rather be sleeping in my own bed where I'm allowed to sleep in just my garments. Here, I can't do that since my nieces are prone to waking up early and asking questions that they wouldn't understand the answers to. I guess another perk of spending the night here is the fact that I don't have to eat any of my own food much less cook it myself. I guess it's more or less a vacation from what I usually do at home for myself. Cooking, cleaning...all in all, I'd rather be sleeping in my own bed tonight.

I haven't felt like updating much lately. Other than last week when the finale was on for American Idol. I used to be more or less a fan. I'm more of a watch all the crazies audition in the beginning, get my fill of Simon's truthful-but-lacking-tact comments and fast forward to the end when it's down the last 2 contestants. I can get the jist of what's going on during the season from the news or people who actually watch the whole season. I guess not having your tv hooked up is good in a way. You don't get hooked to silly series or reality shows but for me, I miss watching Letterman and the news. I'm a huge Dave Letterman fan. Leno just doesn't do it for me. Maybe it's the wannabe New Yorker in me. Anyway, I want to be able to have the option of watching my favorite shows. CSI, Law & Order, Letterman, the news. I haven't watched enough tv in the past 6 months to really get hooked to any other series. CSI and Law & Order are just good standbys. I'd be pretty lost if I were to pick them up again...hm. Oh, and the Mormony side of me yearns for conference on tv instead of on the radio. I pay attention so much better when I can actually see the person speaking.

That was a huge tangent, was it not? So, I don't feel like updating. There hasn't been a whole lot going on. My roommate is/was having relationship problems, but I don't think it's so much of a problem anymore. Meaning: the guy isn't around to be a problem or cause problems just by being there. I don't know all the details and honestly, I'm finding it a bit hard to want to really care about the whole situation. I hate being caught in something that I don't need to be caught in the middle of anyway. Plus, they've been going back and forth for the past 8 months or so and if nothing has come of them not making up their minds when the "relationship" is "on", than its better left alone. Some people aren't meant to be together and some people choose not to be together. He more or less chose and honestly, I don't think they'd be a good match. He's kind of quiet and doesn't have good self esteem. When he decides he doesn't want to be in relationship, he'll flirt non stop with you which is enough to drive you nuts because you're supposed to be only friends. It's annoying to watch. I haven't been in a relationship with him and I don't desire to be in a relationship with the guy. He doesn't know what he wants and is constantly changing his mind. Gosh...I'm saying more about this mess than I want to. It's just annoying me.

Anyway, it's almost midnight and my eyes are failing to focus. Time for bed!

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...
