yummy in my tummy

So, I just had the best tasting rice, veggie, potato blend veggie crisp ever! Seriously. Good stuff. It's called Flat Earth and the flavor of the day is tangy tomato ranch. Really yummy people. I'm usually not a huge fan of baked veggie crisps, but the flavor was better than anything I've ever tasted. I'd take a picture of the now empty bag, but I don't have my camera with me today.

Anyway, in other news, my sister is moving today. Kind of bummed, not gonna lie. But she's only in the next state. A mere 4 hour drive. Uh...yeah. I was just informed that I inherited all her spices. Don't know if I should be excited or not seeing as my roommate already has a ton of spices that I've been using. Our supply will probably be doubled with the stash that my sister passed on to me.

Uh...there was something else that I wanted to post about but it has conveniently slipped my mind. Hm...oh! I bought a new pair of earrings from this place called The Coal Umbrella here in Provizzle. Really cool vintage store with no air conditioning. Even if it was edging on uncomfortably hot, I scored a pair of cute little red earrings. Now I just have to find something that will go with my new found treasure. They also have a bunch of really cool vinyls. I totally wanted to buy some, but alas, I don't have a record player. So I bought a record for my brother instead. I didn't get him anything for his birthday, so this pretty cheap vinyl was a major brownie point scorer for me. It was a good 7 bucks cheaper than the same album in cd form. I like the store and I like the fact that it saved me some money. :-)

Bought 2 pairs of shoes as well. I went to the DI in American Fork to get supplies to make a replica of an earring holder out of a old Manilow record and I passed by the shoes and lo and behold, a perfectly new pair of tan suede Vans. Normally, I wouldn't buy shoes from a secondhand store because of my fear of contracting some weird foot fungus, but these had never ever been worn outside much less inside. I got them for a mere 5 bucks when normally they're 50 bucks or more. Also bought a pair of American Eagle shoes from Payless last night. I thought they'd be comfortable to wear all day, but I was wrong. They look like Mary Janes except of a leather strap and buckle, it's a connected to the shoe on both sides piece of elastic. Forgetting that feet swell through out the day, the elastic strap wasn't letting the blood flow quite as much as I wanted it to to my toes. Needless to say my feet looked a little weird after I took them off. I was assured, though, that the elastic strap will stretch so that it won't do that anymore. I just hope it's sooner than later because i really like them and I'd hate to have to give them away just because my feet swell...

Anyhow, its almost time for me to go home. It's been a long long day and I'm tired of having to deal with people.

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...

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...

Reasons

So, you remember from the last post when I said things were "a-changin'"? Well, they are. I'm moving to Hillsboro, Oregon. ETA: November 1st, but probably November 4th so I can at least finish the pay period instead of leaving in the middle of it. Anyway, here's a quick list of things I bet you didn't know about Hillsboro: *It's near the ghost town of Idiotville, Oregon. Real place. Wiki or google it. *What Draper, Utah is to SLC is exactly what Hillsboro is unto Portland. Almost the same place. *Has AMAZING parks and waterfalls. *All voting is done by mail. Secretly, I'm a little bummed about not getting a "I voted" sticker. Okay, so I could only really think of 4 things that you might not have known about Hillsboro or the surrounding area. Oregon as a state though, is pretty dang fantastic. I'll finally be able to partake in the Goonie-for-the-day festivities in Astoria. While there are many reasons why I'm moving away, the main rea...
