Christmas Tunes

Sometime last summer, I downloaded Spotify to my dad's old desktop computer. I didn't really think anything about it when I moved to Portland last December and didn't have regular computer access. But when I bought my laptop in March, I immediately downloaded it and I haven't looked at iTunes at all. I do have an iPod. A really spiffy, sleek, shiny kelly green iPod. I haven't taken it out since March. Although, the one day that I wanted to download new music, I do something weird on my laptop and erase EVERYTHING. I'm bummed. My little 11 year old brother had recorded him doing some sweet dance moves. Anyway, I've been compiling my Christmas tunes list since November 1st. I feel like it's still WAY too early to be listening to Christmas music all the time, but at least once a week, I bring it out and listen to some of my list. Also, really random, Spotify teaches you something you never knew. For example: I never knew that the boys from One Direction have accents. I only know one song from their arsenal. So yeah. There is your tidbit of random, useless information. One Direction is from the UK.

Moving on.

I don't work at all this week. Well, I work Saturday. This whole week, the "inmates" at my place of employment are on Trek. They will be spending the rest of this week in the snow, camping and getting in touch with their inner...I don't know. They must have some good down at their very core. Anyway, since they're gone for the week, I have nothing to do. Except that stupid work meeting I have tomorrow at noon...I probably should set my alarm clock now...oy. I'm really not excited to learn about Aflac. 

Oh!! I have been turned on to Phillip Phillips. That kid...his music makes me happy. He kind of reminds me of Mumford and Sons. I like him. A lot. You should go listen to his single, like, right now.

Ready? Set? Go!






Did you go? Isn't it such a nice song? He's a 20 year old kid from the South. Also, I've been to a little bit of Whitney. I kind of have a thing for her voice. Go listen to I Look to You. The version I'm listening to right now, her voice isn't at it's best, but she's Whitney, so therefore, she is still pretty awesome.

I love music. When you don't have the words, music says it for you.

Oh man, I don't think I've written about my new place. It's...okay. I guess. I live in the a land of the perpetually young. My roommates, as nice as they are, are sOOOOOO young. As in, I'm at least a decade older than they are. I am constantly reminded how grateful I am to not be that young. Whenever their guy friends come over to visit them, I leave my door a crack just to listen to the asinine things that come out of their mouths. I always end up rolling my eyes a thousand times during the course of their conversations. Part of my wonders if I had conversations like they did. I probably did, but not to the ridiculous extent of their conversations. Oy...just thinking about what they talk about, makes me shake my head and laugh. Other than that, I keep to myself. I've probably turned into a hermit in the week and half that I've been here at the Branbury.

Anyway, it's taken me far too long to type this much and I'm falling asleep. So, until next time, dear reader.

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...

Late...As Usual

So, turns out that I'm not so great at posting on here as I once was. I was even late to post my once yearly Dear Mom post. I really have no excuses other than I've been out of school for almost 3 weeks now since I started going full-time in January. I'm pretty sure the last time I posted anything was in October of last year. Anyway, let's play catch up! I started school full-time in January at BYU-Idaho's online program. I completed 28 credits this year. I'm ready for a break. The accreditation for the public health degree program changed but the changes only apply for the on-campus students and not the online students - aka me. So I'm going to have to transfer schools...again. I've been looking at grad programs in Portland, Oregon. Portland calls my name at least once a year, and I always research reasons to move back. The first time I moved there I was under prepared. I moved with the wrong person. When I move back, I'll be done with school...
