Snow...

Ugh, I don't know if I've mentioned that my love/hate relationship with snow. I hate walking in it, driving in it, cleaning up after playing in it. But I love snow that is undisturbed, not driven in. Its pretty. But of course Utahns need to drive everywhere and so the once pretty snow gets dirty and not so pretty anymore.





Anyway, its snowing...again. I was going to be responsible and go pay my phone bill today while perusing the stores of University Mall, but to no avail. Once I woke up, took a shower and had breakfast, I got distracted and yeah...now at 3:10pm, its snowing and my ambition to be responsible today, is going down the toilet as I watch the snow outside.


So now, I am snacking on a leftover pancake I made this morning wondering if I should just suck it up and go to the mall anyway and just pay my phone bill. The snow is blowing sideways which means the wind is blowing. The wind mixed in with snow is not my friend.

Why did I move to Utah again? I forget...If things were going well in California I would have stayed. Ergo, I would have moved to Utah sooner rather than later because my family lives here...or in Rexburg, land of 8 month winters. I am glad that I have California to look forward to next year. Hopefully this will be my last winter in Utah. Hopefully...I am done with snow for a season and hopefully that season is a couple years.

The snow is coming down pretty well. Looks like my weekend plans are going to be cancelled or postponed. Damn...and I really wanted to have Thai food tonight for dinner. Hopefully work isn't too horrendous tomorrow.

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...

New Things

So, I haven't made a public announcement, but I got a job T H R E E weeks ago. I've been gainfully employed for just over 3 weeks ago. I love working. I love having a job. I love being able to buy the stupid things like toothpaste and shampoo, because really? Since I can buy the stupid silly things that people need to function, means that I can start saving, pay tithing, go grocery shopping. Also, since I work for a certain Church funded company, I also get to go to school. For free. Then, after I'm done doing the program that I've been interested in, since forever, I get to go to Weber and finish my bachelor's degree the debt free way. Awesome, right? It is. It's also a lot of work because since the Church is all about self-reliance and what not, I have to do the work all myself which means that I have to find the motivation to go to 2 night classes a week to get to the point where I can finish my bachelor's without going into more debt. But you know what? ...
