New Goal

So, I just found this cool journaling prompt on Pinterest and I want to give it a shot. I don't know if I'm going to actually do this every single day. I might just condense it into a weekly thing. Anyway, I'm going to start with January 1 till today and then go from there.

What is your number one goal this year?
Well...I have a few goals that always make the list. Just like the rest of America, I want to lose weight and get healthy this year. But now that I have the motivation and the means to spend a little bit more on healthier food options, I'm going to do this. When it comes to money, why is it that people always become a little more invested in things? idk...anyway. That isn't my number one goal. Well, maybe it is. I left my list at home so I don't remember what actually made the numero uno spot. I'll keep you updated.

What are you most grateful for?
Today, I am most grateful for a warm bedroom to go home to. Especially on cold frigid mornings like this. As I type this, it is -4 degrees. Overall though, I'm grateful for the experiences I've had in the year 2012. Not all of them were good. I don't want a repeat on a few experiences. But I did a lot of self-introspection this past year. I'm hoping it'll bring a bit more focus in my life.

Are you content?
Uhm...right now? Right this very moment? Eh. I'd rather be in bed right now. My tummy is full so I'm content that way. There's so much in my life that I need to figure out before I add another year to my life. I need to find contentment in the present that's for sure.

What is your best memory last year?
One of my favorites is going to Seaside, Oregon in January last year. I had just applied to Goodwill and had an interview set up for that Friday. I had spent the whole month of December kicking myself in the pants for not being more prepared for life to drop out the bottom of my basket. Anyway, my roommates and I went to Seaside to lift our spirits a bit. It was actually not raining and it was actually warm that day. It was a real treat and I eventually got that job at Goodwill. It's definitely a happy memory.

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...
