A Little ♥ and Soul

I'm listening to one of my roommate's sleep cds. She listens to it when shes in bed trying to, well, go to sleep. I feel completely relaxed right now. Anyway, today was a good day. Went to church. Felt the spirit during sacrament. Got released from being Relief Society pianist which is probably the greatest thing ever right now. I know who they're calling to replace me and apparently she really needs to be needed right now. She broke up with her boyfriend a month ago (?) and I guess its been hard on her. I don't know...but still. I'm down to one calling and feels lovely to be back to normal. People were actually social today at church. Except Blake. I didn't get to talk to him today. He's a different story though. Lynne actually came and sat with Laura and I at Break the Fast after the block. Of course, she had 2 of her "clique" friends with her, but still. I was pleasantly surprised. A friend from back home moved into the ward a couple weeks ago. ...

NBPC - The Daydreamer Nature, Background, Big Picture, and Color You perceive the world with particular attention to nature. You focus on the hidden treasures of life (the background) and how that fits into the larger picture. You are also particularly drawn towards the colors around you. Because of the value you place on nature, you tend to find comfort in more subdued settings and find energy in solitude. You like to ponder ideas and imagine the many possibilities of your life without worrying about the details or specifics. You are in tune with all that is around you and understand your life as part of a larger whole. You are a down-to-earth person who enjoys going with the flow.

Man...I have an hour to fill before Letterman is on tonight. That's probably the one thing that I miss about not getting any channels at my place. Late night television. Ok, well mostly the news and Letterman. Haha...can you tell my age? I miss the news enough to mention it in my blog. Gosh, how boring am I? So, I am a little peeved that my ward is a little anti-social these days. Ok, maybe I noticed it before, but was probably in denial. Now, that I don't hang out with the same group anymore, I see that people have a rough time going out of their way to fellowship the new and old of the ward. There is a definite clique in the ward and honestly, they're all a little old to even act this way. My roommate, Laura, called the Relief Society President yesterday to see if she still had tickets to the General Relief Society Broadcast for Saturday. She never called my roommate back. If anyone from church called me, regardless of whether or not it was business, I'd call them bac...

So, I got a notice from UVU saying that I needed to pay the rest of my tuition or else I'll lose my spot in the class I'm currently taking. Problem is I don't have the money to pay the rest of the tuition. I hate that. It looks like that I'm going to drop the class. I hate that even more than not having enough money for school. Its already going to take me forever to get through school. I wish that I had enough viable credits to transfer to BYU-I . If I seriously applied myself for three semesters at 12 credits per session, then I could transfer. Thats a whole year out of my life going without the things that people my age like having. Like Thai food and any sort of entertainment. Ugh. BYU-I does have the program I want to get into and it actually sounds like an excellent program. I'm surprised that it was any good seeing as its BYU and its Idaho. Who knew? I also looked into a Humanities program at Prescott College in Arizona. They're pretty pricey but it lo...

I get to see him today! And he isn't my boyfriend...but still. I get to see him today!

I don't know how to really put into words what I'm thinking right now. Seven years ago I came home from New York after working as a nanny for a while. I was originally due to come home September 11th but for some reason decided I needed to come home earlier. I am more than grateful that I came home when I did instead of when I was scheduled to. I am sad for the families who lost mothers, fathers, sons, daughters in that tragic day. I haven't really been mad at Bin Laden for making those suicide fighters believe in something so heinous. I just can't fathom believing in it myself. Today isn't really about politics for me. Yes, I think that Bush could have handled the whole war differently. But really, nearly 3000 Americans died because some sick man decided that all Americans aren't worth having around. Today is really just about a nation pulling together in a time that shook everyone to the very core. Most people knew someone who lived in New York at the time or ...

Yeah, still going with the song/book/lyric blog titles. Today's title is brought to you by Natasha Beddingfield. That's the only part of the song that I know for sure. The rest of the lyrics I'm just making them up as I go. I know some of the words, but on the whole, I don't know the song very well at all. Anyway, I find myself tonight stressing out about money. I only got paid 200 big ones today for the past 2 weeks as if I had only put in 30 hours for the pay period. I didn't. I'm pretty darn sure that I put in that many hours in last week alone. If I don't get paid the amount that I need to literally survive, then I'm going to have to get a second job. I probably shouldn't have quit the gas station so soon otherwise I wouldn't be in this predicament. It's stressing me out. I have - scratch that - had 200 bucks to cover my $325 rent, $100 for my phone, at least $60 for my share of the utilities, at the very least $10 for groceries to last m...
