Blog withdrawls, goals and life...

So, it's been almost a month since I've updated anything on the internet. I figured since I was spending my amazon.com gift card, I might as well see what everyone is up to in cyber-land. Apparently, I've missed a lot. Not so much that I'm too far behind, but enough that I feel kind of bad for not keeping up.

I haven't had that busy of a month. Just work. I'm actually down to 1 job now. Hopefully I'll be able to find another job with the City of Provo and ditch the gas station job all together....hopefully. I'm really tired of all the drama that happens there. Who knew that with only 8 employees there would enough drama to drive me crazy. Drama includes: creepy co-worker who likes to poke girls in the side and try to tickle them (I yelled at him today and told him to knock it off), a missing envelope that contains at least $75 in change from a frequent customer and friend of the boss and people just not liking each other altogether. Most places I've worked, people have at least liked each other to play nice while at work and no one has ever stolen that amount of money from work and most people know about the personal space clause. I mean really, does anyone not know about the personal space clause? Sometimes I'll touch someone while talking to them. Like on the arm or the shoulder. But that's only if I'm comfortable with them and actually know who they are.

Uh...let's see...what else? ... Two friends of mine are getting married next week. My younger brother and his girlfriend of two and half years are finally getting married in May. It seems that a lot of people have been getting married in the past six months or so. I'm glad people are finding compatible mates and all, but lets spread the wealth and time frame here people!

Christmas and New Year's were spent with friends and family. My 2 roommates were gone for the majority of the holiday break and I just about went crazy. My furnace makes funny noises and my vent apparently likes to exacerbate the sound the furnace makes. Coupled with my imagination and being home alone for nearly 2 weeks...well, lets just say that I spent the night on the living room couch far from my vent and if by chance I did sleep in my bed, I fell asleep with a relaxing cd on loud enough to drown out the noise.

Oh and tis the season to go to the doctor. Since diabetes runs pretty high in my family, I get to take a 3 hour glucose test...did I mention that I have to fast for at least 8 hours before?? Its not big deal really, but the test has to be ordered by a doctor and the test itself costs at 100 big ones. Guess who doesn't have medical insurance OR 100 buckaroos?? If you guessed me, than you're right! I don't have the money to go see the doctor just for him to order a glucose test and then spend 4 hours of my time in a lab that will cost me a third of my rent. So I'm a little stressed out about that. I need to take the test. I need to do a lot of things that cost lots of money that I don't have.

Ugh...stress....

Oh by the way, I'm trying to give up soda all together. I tried to go cold turkey. I didn't make it past day 4. So I decided to work my way towards the goal. I tried giving up caffiene. Didn't quite make it past day 6. So now I'm working on only consuming Diet Coke. So far so good. I drink my doctor recommended 64 ounces of water on a daily basis. I only have soda 3 days a week. I'm going to try and cut it down to only 2 days a week and then to only 1 and then to none. Hopefully I can do this before the end of the month. This goal is on my short term goal list.

Needless to say, I pee a lot.

Oh! My very long term goal is to move to Hawaii in the year 2010. I wanted to move to California for a little bit. Hm...maybe it can still happen. Ugh...but then I have to do the tax thing for multiple states and thats never any fun. I'll have to come up with a plan. Maybe California for 6 months and then Hawaii for the rest of the time.

Maybe I shouldn't worry about it just yet? I still have to get my current money/job/health situation in check first before I go off traispaising around the world with my sister. After that, then I am going to look for jobs and get a hot body (hopefully) by the time I move.

Anyway, that's about it. My hands are feeling really stiff now. I think I might have carpal tunnel or arthrities.

Wouldn't that suck?

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...
