Hives and BBQ's

So, this morning as I was trying to store up the few of hours of sleep I had left before work this morning, I realized, about two hours into my "nap", my stomach was crazy itchy. Kind of like a million ants had climbed into my room in the wee hours of the morning, chomped on my abdomen and left. Naturally, I start itching and itching while I was intermittently trying to just sleep as much I could. I sleep for another hour and my legs, my arms and my chest start itching. So dear readers, if I don't make any sense today, it's because I am going on 3 hours of sleep trying to recover from the mystery hives while bbq-ing at my brother's for Pioneer Day.

Ugh...what a day it has been so far. I've worked 6 days this week just to make up for the lack of hours I've worked in the past 2 weeks. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be short on my rent for August. Hopefully, I'll come out with enough money. idk. I suppose I just need a new job where they aren't going to short my hours regardless of the availability of projects and seats.

I'd really like to sleep right now, but I know if I take a nap, there's a snowball's chance in hell that I'll be able to get some decent sleep tonight. This whole week has been a little ended up with me a little discombobulated. Ha...I don't think I've ever used the word "discombobulated" in a sentence before. It makes me chuckle...haha.

Uhm...let's see, what else has been happening? My sister lives in Utah, again. I'm way excited for school to start up again. Having a terrible job will do that to you though. Oh! I've been playing tennis at least twice a week with a few people from my ward. It's been sooooo fun! I'm pretty proud of my tennis racket callouses that are forming on my hands. I heart tennis. A lot.

My pumpkins and zucchini have finally decided to bloom. They're late bloomers that's for sure. I think I planted them a little late, so that'd explain their shyness. But I'm excited to have pumpkins and zucchini this fall. Hopefully, they'll both be prolific. I'd really like at least 1 nice juicy pumpkin for Halloween/Thanksgiving. If I get another one, then I'll be super happy. I'm going to try and make pumpkin pie out of at least one hopeful pumpkin for Thanksgiving and some confectionery goodness with the second hopeful pumpkin (i.e. pumpkin cookies and pumpkin bread). I'm hoping that my zucchini will kick into action soon so I can at least grill one on the barbie before the summer is out and then freeze the rest to make zucchini bread and goulash. Yum....I love zucchini in stew and goulash. I'm almost looking forward to cooler weather just so I can cook and make the house smell good.

My brain is wanting to turn off right now, so I think I'll humor it and watch a little t.v. and do some proper vegging out.

Toodles.

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...

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...

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...
