Weird

It's weird to me that I've only posted 23 posts this year and that the year is more than half done. Summer is coming to a close, which I'm a little melancholy about by the way, and fall is slowly coming upon us. I love the fall. I dare say, I love it a tad more than the summer.

Summer = snow cones, flip flops, coconut scented tanning oil, bbq's and everything loud and boisterous. 

Fall = warm sweaters and long sleeved shirts that I bought the beginning of the summer for a quarter at 
Old Navy, cute socks, quiet, chilly autumn evenings and bon fires, pumpkins, Halloween and Thanksgiving. 

I love the fall. I love that it isn't going to be hot. Although, we've had a pretty mild summer compared to everywhere else in the world. Anyway...I digress. 

I'm ready for school to start. Although, I'm going to miss sleeping in and not having to do homework. But really? I ready to have something to do aside from going to work and hating the fact that my job is pretty much a dead end as far as a career goes. 
Which, I don't know why people would want to make a career out of working at a call center. Don't they know there's better jobs out in the world than sitting on their butts and not really making a difference in the world? I think it's just lame. 

Again...I digress.

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...

Things I Don't Talk About Much

"I have learned that we feel like a failure when we make mistakes even when we profess a belief that the purpose of this existence is to make and learn from them." Growing up in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I have had this belief that - as the quote says - we are here experiencing mortality to make mistakes and to learn from them so we can, eventually, become exalted beings and live with our Heavenly Father. In it's simplest form, that is why we're here. We have steps that we have to perform to attain such exaltation; faith, repentance, baptism, gift of the Holy Ghost, enduring to the end, temple ordinances...you get the point. The first three things I mentioned are always ongoing. We're baptized with water and every week with the sacrament, we renew those covenants. It's a time for reflection of what we've done during the week. What went wrong, what went right, what we need to work on.  Anyhow, growing up in the church, I fe...
