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*

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...
