All Blown Up and Stuff...

So, the "family" computer pretty much blew up. The hard-drive fried its own brain on a dare, apparently. So along with all my pictures, my English papers from last semester are now lost. It kind of sucks that I have lost MONTHS of work. Bleh...anyway, it feels like it's been MONTHS since I've been on the internet. Seriously. Who knew that life without home access to the internet would be so...boring.

Right now, I've commandeered my brother's laptop to get some blogging out of my system. I've been craving my blog. Not so much Facebook or my email. I can check those from my phone, but my blog. My heck! I've been going through blogging withdrawls like crazy and really, it's only been a couple days since I've been without. Okay. It's really only been 2 days since I've been without internet.

Anyway, I really don't have anything to update the blog-o-sphere on. Other than I've recently finished the Matrix trilogy and have watched the newer Pride and Prejudice this weekend. I could discuss, at length, my love for Pride and Prejudice. I love Jane Austen.

Okay, well, I suppose that 2:30 am is a perfectly respectable bedtime for someone who slept in WAY too long. Although, I popped in season 7 of Gilmore Girls and I kind of want to finish the first DVD.

Over and out, yo.

I didn't realize you liked Jane Austen! You'd think I would have known that about you. Did you get to see the new Masterpiece Theatre "Emma"? Soooo much better than the Gwenyth? Paltrow one, though Mr. Knightly was much more handsome in that one than in the new one. We'll have to have a Jane Austen chat sometime. Love ya!

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? ...
