Catching Up

I have felt the need to catch up with the world wide web this past week. Since purchasing my laptop just a couple days ago - almost a week - I've been blog stalking, Facebook stalking, Twitter stalking (though not as fun as Facebook), watching my shows on Hulu, catching up on my YouTube channel subscriptions, reading skimming my NY Times subscription, trying to find cool stuff to do in Portland, ordering work pants online, adding stuff to my Amazon wish list. The list could go on for eternity, but I won't bore you.

With all this "catching up", I haven't slept very well. It's nearly 2 AM and I have to be at work at 8 AM. Yep. I have less than five hours to sleep tonight...awesome. I was supposed to be in bed at least an hour ago but being me, I needed to clean up my room after going to Target and Rite Aid tonight.

Tomorrow, tomorrow, I resolve to:

*Clean the rest of my room. Putting every needful thing in its place.
*Eat a healthy dinner 'cause heaven knows I can't take another night of eating a sandwich, hamburger, hard boiled egg or snack items as a meal for the millionth time this week.
*NOT play any games on Facebook. In fact, I resolve to delete most of those stupid games from my sight.
*Make a pro/con list of the next place I want to live.
*Watch a little t.v.
*Purchase new book and start reading it.
*Limit my "catching up" on all things internet to an hour.
*Get to bed and be asleep by 9:30 PM.

Yeah. I absolutely need to be in bed by then. Today at work, the F O U R hours of sleep I had managed to scrape together did not do a body/mind well. I don't deal with people/customers very well with less than 6 hours of sleep on any given day.

So, here's hoping my brain will shut off in the next 60 seconds...

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? ...
