I Dislike...

*commercials on Pandora after every 3 songs.
*the fact that you can't actually watch the last 5 episodes of Glee on Hulu without
paying for something that should be free.
*free trials that aren't actually free.
*free anything that has a nasty terms & conditions string tied firmly to
it's ugly terms & conditions clause that you can't actually read
because the font is soooooo small!
*fake people
*snobs
* judgmental snobby fake people


Things I DO Like

*new work friends who confirm those sneaky suspicions about the people who were
supposed to be your work friends.
*people at work who don't get caught up in the drama and who like you more than
those supposed work friends.
*Cello, viola, and piano music. I love those rich resonate sounds of the cello and viola.
And if I were an instrument and instruments were people, I'd date a piano.
weird metaphor? yes, yes it is.
*A job coach who tries motivate you.
*People who inspire me:
Brother Corey Sackett
Sister Colleen Terry
*Summer fruit
*Fall
*Adventures
*A best friend who is always on my side but tells me to stop whining
when I need it.
*Summer thunder storms
*Books. Literature of most any genera.
*Sheet music
*Excellent films



I felt that I should end on a positive note, you know? I didn't want to end my day by being
a total Debbie Downer. I just needed to get some things out of my system without being
overly specific about any of it. I guess it's specific enough, though.

Anyhow...

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...

Things I Don't Talk About Much

"I have learned that we feel like a failure when we make mistakes even when we profess a belief that the purpose of this existence is to make and learn from them." Growing up in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I have had this belief that - as the quote says - we are here experiencing mortality to make mistakes and to learn from them so we can, eventually, become exalted beings and live with our Heavenly Father. In it's simplest form, that is why we're here. We have steps that we have to perform to attain such exaltation; faith, repentance, baptism, gift of the Holy Ghost, enduring to the end, temple ordinances...you get the point. The first three things I mentioned are always ongoing. We're baptized with water and every week with the sacrament, we renew those covenants. It's a time for reflection of what we've done during the week. What went wrong, what went right, what we need to work on.  Anyhow, growing up in the church, I fe...
