Two Weeks

I cannot tell you how much I am looking forward to my day off tomorrow. Seriously, though. Even if I've only worked 3 days this week so far, I am so tired of dealing with customers and co-workers and just people in general. I need to sleep and be myself for a few hours. 

The friend I'm staying with this week is so kind and sweet. She has been treating me pretty much as one of her children, which I totally love. She's cooked dinner pretty much every night since I've been here and every morning I've gone into work, she makes sure that I've at least taken a banana and a slice of homemade wheat bread with homemade jam for breakfast. It has been bliss. I don't know how I'm going to survive staying with my co-worker for the last 2 and half weeks of my time here in Oregon. I'm glad that I have both women in my life. They just have two completely different ways of life. 

But I'm ready to go home. 

Weird.

Utah = home now. Home is where the heart is, right? As crazy as my family dynamics were/are, that is where my heart lies. A HUGE part of my soul and heart will miss being so close to the beach. I seriously have not gone to the beach nearly as much as I've liked to since being here in Oregon, but I'm hoping for at least 2 more trips to the beach. One with my friends and one with my brother and his family. I'm so excited to hang out with my nieces and nephew again. so. excited! 

Life is moving too fast and not fast enough at the moment. I want the next 2 weeks at work to go quickly, but I know that I'm going to miss my friends/co-workers. I'd be remiss if I didn't say that I'm a little sad about leaving them. Maybe, when my life is a little more in order, I'll come back. I am promising myself that I need to come back for a visit next year in the fall. 

Anyway. It is time for me to keep on detoxing on facebook. I have spent less than an hour on facebook and facebook related games in the past 5 days. 

I'm pretty impressed with myself.

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...

Book Report

So, remember when I told you guys that I was going to start reading autobiographies and biographies and the like? Well, I FINALLY finished this book. I had to renew it because I made the mistake of getting two Harlan Coben books and well, he's one of my most favorite mystery/suspense author's EVER. The Harlan Coben books were of course read in less than a week. I don't know how I did my homework. Good thing a lot of it is online and not due for a while...but still. I need to stop this habit of reading books when I should be doing my homework. Anyhow, The Road to Woodstock was a pretty good read. Lots of history. I don't know if anyone who reads my blog is really into Jimmy Hendrix or anyone from that era, but it was really cool to get an insiders perspective on what went on. The organizing of Woodstock was a pretty big undertaking but in the end, the organizers just let everyone in regardless of if they had purchased a ticket or not. Did you know that? The organizers of...

Done

I am so happy that I'm done moving! Now comes the almost unwelcome task of unpacking. As it would have it, I've moved into a smaller space and I need to throw out a few things. Maybe, once everything is cleaned up, I'll take pictures. My younger brother, the previous tenant of the space, has left the bathroom a complete mess. Thank goodness for Scrubbing Bubbles and some pretty amazing toilet cleaner. It'll probably take a another day or two to get the shower to the point where I won't be afraid to shower in it. Its pretty nasty I tell you. Anyway, I'm running out of things to write about today. I'm not feelin' it...
