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...

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...

Mama

Dear Mom, You've been gone 12 years now and I miss you just as much as I did when you left this earth to live with our Heavenly Father. Life has been hard since you've been gone, but I'm sure you know. Yesterday, on your anniversary, I went to lunch with Felisa and visited Stephen and his wife, Shauna in Salt Lake. Who would have thought that almost all us adult siblings would live within an hour's drive of each other? In Utah, no less. We didn't really talk about you, but I'm sure that we were all thinking of you. My heart ached for you a little bit more. I thought of you on Sunday, since it was the day of the week that you passed away. During the Sacrament, I thought of you and everything you taught me about the Gospel, about Jesus, about facing your fears, about forgiveness. When it came to the bearing of testimonies, I was already crying. Half due to allergies and half due to thinking of you and missing you. I was always the sensitive one. Dad's ex-wife ...
