20 things about me

1.) I actually don't mind going to the dentist.
2.) I never wanted to live in Utah for more than a year...Hello year 5!
3.) I am jealous of my sister but we haven't been as close as we are now. I love her and can't picture my life without her.
4.) I hate Utah drivers. On the freeway, people in the middle lane are always trying to get off. People in the fast lane are going slow and people in the slow lane are going at break neck speeds because of the idiots in the other 2 lanes. Psh...they're all idiots.
5.) I love buying new shoes but I hate the actual act of shopping. Something about hordes of idiot shoppers and clueless employees turns me off to the whole idea of "retail therapy". Go figure...
6.) I hated the years proceeding my mothers death. People thought they had to walk on egg shells around me, my family situation was hell, and I didn't want to deal with any of it. So more often than not, I ran away from it all and found myself either in L.A. or on Long Island, NY. Now that I've dealt with it, I'm in Utah of all places.
7.) I hate being the center of attention but hate it even more when people forget about me.
8.) I like the idea of living in a small town but hate the thought of people knowing everything about you. I like my privacy and I must have the option of showing my true colors on my own time without people constantly watching you.
9.) I don't know if I could ever handle being pregnant and bringing home a brand new baby. It scares me.
10.) I love the fall and wish it was cool/cold enough year round so I could wear sweaters and thick wool socks. I want to spend my fall season in New England and every other season in the Pacific Northwest.
11.) I'm a realistic hopeless romantic.
12.) I feel socially awkward more often than not even though I come from a hugely social family. I come off far cooler than I actually feel most of the time.
13.) I don't want to work for the rest of life but I know that if I don't have something to do, I'll get bored.
14.) I really want to get paid to travel and take cool photos of places I've visited. Some day...
15.) I want to be and do a great many things and often feel that time is running out to accomplish them all.
16.) It makes me smile inside when I get a real smile from Bryan.
17.) I like Bryan...crazy I know. I went from liking his older brother last summer to liking him this year.
18.) I think that the people whom you love most can hurt you worse but also be your saving grace more often than they hurt you.
19.) I hate wearing shoes. As much as I love wearing woolly socks during the fall and winter, I absolutely hate wearing shoes. Give me sandals any day!
20.) As much as I like working with people, they irritate the crap out of me more often than not.

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...
