A Little ♥ and Soul

I'm sitting here on my comfy thrift store couch trying to organize my thoughts for this post, but I'm at an epic fail right now. So, if my thoughts are a little all over the place, just be warned that it is 2:45 AM and I haven't been to bed. Anyway, I got a job at Goodwill last week. I am pretty stoked. Except at this moment, I'm a little stressed out about it for a couple of reasons. My sister ended our contracts with AT&T and switched to Sprint. Except, I didn't know she was going to do that and the store manager was supposed to call me that day to let me know if I passed my drug test and background check - which I did, by the way (duh). So, much to my chagrin, I was unreachable to everyone in the known universe. The store manager finally emailed me today to tell me to call him to find about orientation and training and paperwork and all that fun new job stuff. I didn't get the email till almost midnight though. Almost 10 hours after he had sent the emai...

Truths...okay, okay...confessions: I'm addicted to pinterest.com - truly, it's like getting a new glossy magazine in the mail every day where you get to look at stuff you want and not have to waste your time looking at adverts for things that make you believe that you aren't good enough. I blog stalk. Everyone else is doing it... I could use my allotted 40 hours a month of free Pandora in a week. I drink water like a fish. It keeps my kidneys and liver happy though. I often have dreams every night. Most of the time they're in color, but once in a while, I'll have a dream in black and white. I am finding that with age, I'm getting slightly more OCD about things. Don't ask. I love sticky notes. Any color, shape and size, I love them. Whenever I go to Staples or OfficeMax, I have to stop myself from buying pens, pencils, notebooks or just any sort of office supplies. It's a bad habit. I love buying storage bins or any sort of organizationa...

My roommates and I went to the beach this last week to recharge our batteries. After so many rainy/foggy days, it felt amazing to be able to spend the day in the sun. We literally spent the whole day just walking around. Most everything was closed for the season, but it was fun spending time outside for once. I can only imagine how crowded this place is during the summer. It's the closest beach town to where we live so, we'll probably have to head south - or north - to Astoria, Rockaway or Tillamook. I'm excited either way. In other news, I finally got a call back for a job interview. In fact, they had me do a first AND second interview while I was there. I'm hoping that I'll hear back from them this next week. I mean, why keep me there for two hours if they weren't going to hire me, right? I don't know...I'm just hoping to hear back from them. It'll be nice to have an income again and not get so sick over how I'm going to pay my rent...

Things I'm resolving to do better in 2012: 1. Actual journal writing. I broke out my paper journal when I moved to Oregon to remind myself that I needed to document the move and neglected to even open it till last night. I wrote until my brain was thoroughly swished around in my head. I still need to write more about what is going on in my life. There is so much that has happened in the past couple days. Big, huge, gigantic life changing decisions need to be made and I'm scared. These type of things I've neglected to write in my journal the past year. 365 days of life has gone by and I haven't written any of it done. 2. Read my Patriarchal Blessing more often. I really am a dummy when it comes to spiritual things. In all the stressful things that have been happening in the past year, I've practically had to smack myself for not reading this sacred piece of personal scripture more often. 3. Scripture study. My friend Claudia started this little challenge on...
