Catching Up

I have felt the need to catch up with the world wide web this past week. Since purchasing my laptop just a couple days ago - almost a week - I've been blog stalking, Facebook stalking, Twitter stalking (though not as fun as Facebook), watching my shows on Hulu, catching up on my YouTube channel subscriptions, reading skimming my NY Times subscription, trying to find cool stuff to do in Portland, ordering work pants online, adding stuff to my Amazon wish list. The list could go on for eternity, but I won't bore you.

With all this "catching up", I haven't slept very well. It's nearly 2 AM and I have to be at work at 8 AM. Yep. I have less than five hours to sleep tonight...awesome. I was supposed to be in bed at least an hour ago but being me, I needed to clean up my room after going to Target and Rite Aid tonight.

Tomorrow, tomorrow, I resolve to:

*Clean the rest of my room. Putting every needful thing in its place.
*Eat a healthy dinner 'cause heaven knows I can't take another night of eating a sandwich, hamburger, hard boiled egg or snack items as a meal for the millionth time this week.
*NOT play any games on Facebook. In fact, I resolve to delete most of those stupid games from my sight.
*Make a pro/con list of the next place I want to live.
*Watch a little t.v.
*Purchase new book and start reading it.
*Limit my "catching up" on all things internet to an hour.
*Get to bed and be asleep by 9:30 PM.

Yeah. I absolutely need to be in bed by then. Today at work, the F O U R hours of sleep I had managed to scrape together did not do a body/mind well. I don't deal with people/customers very well with less than 6 hours of sleep on any given day.

So, here's hoping my brain will shut off in the next 60 seconds...

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...

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...

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...
