A Change Will Do You Good

Things are a'changin 'round these parts. First off, I'm finally moving out of my brother's house...thank cheesus! As much as I've loved hanging out with my nieces and nephew, I've got to say that the idea of having a REAL bed to sleep in makes me weep tears of joy. Okay, maybe not literally, but I seriously cannot wait to sleep in a real bed on Friday.

Second, as some of you may - or may not - know, it's hard to get a job interview at BYU as a non-student worker or as someone who has never attended. I put in two applications for the bookstore on campus thinking that I'd get a rejection email. But I didn't. Yesterday, I had a short phone interview with a girl from the e-commerce department of the bookstore and she said that as soon as the HR department reviews my application, that they'll give me a call. I'm pretty hopeful. While the position isn't a permanent one, I'll be thankful for the extra money. If I get this job, I'll get to have a real Christmas this year. I'll also be able to pay my rent without feeling like I'm being stretched far too thin money wise.

Third, I finally got my first paycheck from my job. Long story short, there was some sort of mix up about how much I'm being paid and then my boss got locked out of the system to enter my hours. Instead of getting on Friday like everybody else, I got paid yesterday morning. Thank goodness. It's been two months since I've received a paycheck. And you know those people who say that money can't buy you happiness? I don't think they've never had money or have gone without for a long time. I know that money doesn't buy happiness, but it does make some things so much easier to deal with.

Anyway, things have been pretty good. I haven't been getting a lot of sleep lately. Mostly because I've been trying to function like a normal person during the day. Working graveyard shifts doesn't let me do that. Ever. After taking a 2 hours nap this morning after work, I've been on the go. I'm thinking that I'll need another "nap" before I go to work tonight...and lots of Diet Coke.

Hooray!

I've lost 9.2 pounds in the last 6 days. I'm excited! The picture really doesn't have anything to do with weight loss per se, but it does have the word reduce on it and I took the picture, so I'm putting it up. :-]

Sleepiness becomes me

*sigh* I miss the ocean. Not really the Atlantic Ocean, although I have to say that the East Coast has some beautiful beaches. But the Pacific Ocean will always be home to me. I miss it. I miss the hot sand, the coconut scented sunscreen and tanning oil, the salty sea air, the random volleyball games, the hot surfer boys. I miss it all. Its my favorite place where you can watch the sunset while looking out over the water. Its amazing! Sure, it gets hot, but really? When you're there at the beach looking at the water, taking it all in, it doesn't really matter how hot it is. I've always loved the water. It has a calming effect over me like lavender oil in a steamy bath. I wish I could just be a beach bum for the rest of my life. I'd take photos and sell them to support my needs. Kind of like what Thoreau did at Walden Pond. I really only need the simple things in life and the beach and ocean. I could get along without my phone and definitely without my alarm clock. Just ...

Hooray for Holi!

My friend Kim and I will be going to celebrate Holi with our fellow Hindus today. I'm not sure if half the people going today actually know what Holi is except for the fact that it is fun. Go to this link and learn about Holi! *Pictures will be forthcoming!* **ETA: So, there was a HUGE accident on the freeway on the way to Spanish Fork yesterday and being the impatient driver that I am, decided to go around the accident. We went through Springville and Mapleton to avoid the accident. Well, not knowing what exit we were at, we weren't sure where we were and completely missed the festival. I was a little bummed. Well, a lot bummed. Kim and I went up the Spanish Fork Canyon instead to a town that was flooded years ago. Hopefully Kim won't hate me forever for missing the festival...
