Snow...

Ugh, I don't know if I've mentioned that my love/hate relationship with snow. I hate walking in it, driving in it, cleaning up after playing in it. But I love snow that is undisturbed, not driven in. Its pretty. But of course Utahns need to drive everywhere and so the once pretty snow gets dirty and not so pretty anymore.





Anyway, its snowing...again. I was going to be responsible and go pay my phone bill today while perusing the stores of University Mall, but to no avail. Once I woke up, took a shower and had breakfast, I got distracted and yeah...now at 3:10pm, its snowing and my ambition to be responsible today, is going down the toilet as I watch the snow outside.


So now, I am snacking on a leftover pancake I made this morning wondering if I should just suck it up and go to the mall anyway and just pay my phone bill. The snow is blowing sideways which means the wind is blowing. The wind mixed in with snow is not my friend.

Why did I move to Utah again? I forget...If things were going well in California I would have stayed. Ergo, I would have moved to Utah sooner rather than later because my family lives here...or in Rexburg, land of 8 month winters. I am glad that I have California to look forward to next year. Hopefully this will be my last winter in Utah. Hopefully...I am done with snow for a season and hopefully that season is a couple years.

The snow is coming down pretty well. Looks like my weekend plans are going to be cancelled or postponed. Damn...and I really wanted to have Thai food tonight for dinner. Hopefully work isn't too horrendous tomorrow.

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...

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...
