What to do at 2am...

I know I should be sleeping right now, but when you have a lot on your mind, sleep sometimes goes by the wayside. Tomorrow - well, later today - I'll be venturing into Downtown Ogden to look for a job. I really should just go to the LDS Employment Center, but I have no clue where it is. Okay, that's a lie, I did go to DI Tuesday night. I didn't bother to look around to see if there was an employment center there; they probably have one. I'm going to take my chances on the bus though. I'm really hoping my UVU student i.d. card/bus pass works up here. I haven't checked if Weber State has a similar bus pass/student i.d. card combo yet. I don't really need either of them right now seeing as my bus pass from UVU is valid till the middle of September. I'll just cross my fingers and bring cash fare just in case.

Here's what is on my plate for tomorrow:
*Eat breakfast
*Shower
*Dig through my stuff to find my dress pants and a not so wrinkled shirt.
...hope I can find one.
*Check the bus schedule online and write down multiple times to take with me.
just in case.
*Walk to the bus stop and hope that there's a stop close to where I need to go.
*Apply for the one job that I know is still hiring.
*Walk around the mall to see if anyone else is hiring.
*Get home, hopefully, before my little brother gets home from school.

I'll probably go looking for the library and check it out. I need to see if Ogden is a well read community. Or just to see if they're library is better than American Fork's. I'll also take some pictures on my new phone. My sister and I are on the same plan and we were able to upgrade our phones. We both got the same smart phone and lucky for me - and you, dear reader - the charger is a USB cord which means I can upload my pictures without an actual digital camera. I'll still purchase a camera some time after my taxes are done, but for now, my phone will work just perfectly. Plus, the camera on my phone has just as many mega pixels as my old camera.
So be excited!

I've also been working on my Year of Expression goals and so far, I've only been cooking. So far my "artistic" expression has been limited to chicken and potato curry and peach cobbler. I am also trying to express my thanks more often when someone does something for me. I need to be better at genuinely thanking people outside my family. Like the nice cashier at Walmart that helped me the other day or the nice cashier at WinCo.

idk.

It seems silly to really REALLY thank the cashier at any store you go to,
but from someone who has been a cashier, it really makes your day when someone genuinely thanks you; without being overly gush-y and creepy, of course. I'll start taking pictures, hopefully, with more regularity now that I live in a city that I've only been to once prior to moving here. Downtown seems pretty nice, so hopefully I'll be able to catch a few nice pictures. I just hope the weather isn't calling for snow in the next week or so.

Anyway, I've only 6 hours before I need to wake up and start my day.
Wish me luck!

I love this. I always try to remember to tell cashiers that I appreciate them.

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...

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...
