So...


I've been in Utah for about a week and half now. I have this gut feeling that
I need to call my dad to let him know I'm here. Considering I was going to stay with him.
But things have changed. Apparently. Everything has. I wish I could say that I have a job
right now, but I don't. 

Although, I did have a job interview this afternoon. I have never, in my life, 
have had a job interview on a Saturday afternoon. I don't really know how it went. There was a girl who was being interviewed right before I got there. Totally cute and peppy and I couldn't help but think, "She's totally going to get the job. Here I am, sitting in at a smoothie bar/sandwich shop, pretty much overqualified. But I need a job, so stay. Don't leave..." Yep, I had that conversation with myself about twice while I sat there waiting for her interview to finish. Apparently, she showed up half an hour early, thus, pushing my interview back about 15 minutes. It was annoying. 

I did, however, score a free smoothie. In my efforts to getting back into shape, I got this smoothie from the "healthy" section called Peach Lovers. It was surprisingly delicious and not at all sugary or ice cream-y. Once I know whether or not I get the job, I'll let ya'll know where this place is so you can enjoy a Peach Lovers smoothie.

Other than that, my days aren't filled with much of anything. Well, the first week I was here, my nieces had a few days left of summer vacation before school started up again, so I got to play with them and stuff. But now that they're in school, my days aren't really filled with much excitement. I wake up. Sometimes I'll eat breakfast. Then I but my bed away and sit on the couch while my brain and my body catch up with each other. Then I'll either take a shower or do some job searching on my laptop until lunchtime. After lunch, I'll either do more job searching or I'll play with my kindergarten-er niece. After that, my older nieces get home from school and it's pretty much pointless to do much else because of interruptions. The rest of the day, if I haven't taken a shower yet, I'll do that and then hang out with my nieces and nephew. Help make dinner sometimes, watch a little t.v. with the kiddos or take a walk with my kindergarten-er niece. 

Pretty boring, yeah? Although, what I do all day sounds like what a lot of stay at home mom's do all day, I don't want to discount their efforts, I am just used to a completely different routine.

Anyway, tomorrow is an early day...bleh. Hopefully I'll be able to get a Sunday afternoon nap after church...*cross my fingers*

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 ...

Done

I am so happy that I'm done moving! Now comes the almost unwelcome task of unpacking. As it would have it, I've moved into a smaller space and I need to throw out a few things. Maybe, once everything is cleaned up, I'll take pictures. My younger brother, the previous tenant of the space, has left the bathroom a complete mess. Thank goodness for Scrubbing Bubbles and some pretty amazing toilet cleaner. It'll probably take a another day or two to get the shower to the point where I won't be afraid to shower in it. Its pretty nasty I tell you. Anyway, I'm running out of things to write about today. I'm not feelin' it...

Like A Prayer

Recently - actually, more like since May - I've been listening to a lot of Madonna. But not just regular Madonna, Glee's remakes of Madonna classics. I'm addicted. As much as I like the original Material Girl, I like shaking my music up a little bit on my iPod. Also, I've been listening to a lot of Carter Hulsey. I'm pretty sure that he'll be another popular Myspace find with the likes of Colbie Caillat, Brendan James, and Angel Taylor. Seriously, if you haven't heard anything from Brendan James and Angel Taylor, I think you may be missing out on some awesome tunes. I like Colbie Caillat, but she's been overplayed for a while now, so I've been looking for similar music. I definitely recommend Brendan James, Angel Taylor and Carter Hulsey. They've all got myspace pages and music on iTunes and Amazon, so look them up. Not that Madonna and all my fave myspace finds are in any way related - aside from the fact that they all sing and make music - ...
