A Little ♥ and Soul

So, I haven't had a lot of motivation to come to the library on my days off lately. Mostly because I'm dog tired and would rather sleep in thus moving laundry time back to the afternoons. By the time I get that done, I've run out of motivation to do much of anything else. Plus, any free time I have after work I spend on the couch watching NCIS or CSI re-runs or whatever DYI programs we've got on the DVR . Anyhow, I'm done to about 8 minutes here at the library. So to cut to the chase, I present a list for your reading enjoyment. *I got my student loan repayment term paper thingies in the mail today. It just proves to me how much I need to get back into school this fall. Hopefully everything I've planned for myself this summer, educationally speaking, will work out. *I am starting a CNA course at the Ogden-Weber Applied Technology College in about a week and a half. I'm hoping to find a decent paying job and work my way through school. *Starting to resear...

I have two minutes left at the library computer. So I'll make this quick. *first week of being 30...I'd like a do over please. *uhm...Easter was great though. and that is all. 'cause i'm down to seconds here...more later!

My dad had his birthday 2 days ago. Sixty-two years old! That's old...I can't fathom that my oldest brother is getting closer to 40 and that I'm going to turn the big 3-oh in a couple days. It's weird. This getting "old" business is just plain wacky and a little melancholy. I hear 30 isn't bad. I hear 60 isn't bad. I'm not sure I want to believe those people who say age is just a number. I guess in reality it is just a number, but these lines around my eyes are telling me that I'm not going to pull off being told that I look at least 5 years younger than I really am for much longer. Anyway, happy birthday to my numero uno daddy-0! Happy 62 years and hopefully much more to come!

Man, I am so happy for having a day off work during the week. Work is closed on Sunday so having 2 days off in a row = bliss. I made myself sleep in today. I literally had to make myself sleep. My body pretty much woke up at 7 am and I had to kick myself. Like I mentioned in my last post, I LOVE sleeping. I can't really function correctly without at least 7 hours of sleep. Otherwise, my brain just can't think straight. So I slept. Then I kind of cleaned my room. I still have put stuff away, but the big "elephant" in the room was my overflowing clothes hamper. When I'm tired or haven't been sleeping when I need it most, my room turns into a war zone. Literally. I hadn't put my clothes away from last week yet, I had socks and shoes and books and yarn all over the floor. Okay, it really wasn't that bad, but for me, it was bad. Anyway, I'm procrastinating going home right now. When I get home I really have to get crackin '. The bathroom has been ig...

So, I haven't made a public announcement, but I got a job T H R E E weeks ago. I've been gainfully employed for just over 3 weeks ago. I love working. I love having a job. I love being able to buy the stupid things like toothpaste and shampoo, because really? Since I can buy the stupid silly things that people need to function, means that I can start saving, pay tithing, go grocery shopping. Also, since I work for a certain Church funded company, I also get to go to school. For free. Then, after I'm done doing the program that I've been interested in, since forever, I get to go to Weber and finish my bachelor's degree the debt free way. Awesome, right? It is. It's also a lot of work because since the Church is all about self-reliance and what not, I have to do the work all myself which means that I have to find the motivation to go to 2 night classes a week to get to the point where I can finish my bachelor's without going into more debt. But you know what? ...

I'm having a hard time remembering that quote by Elder Wirthlin. It goes "something something something. But Sunday will come." Anyway, the past couple days has left me waiting for my Sunday to come. It's been a difficult week; it's left me wondering what else Heavenly Father intends for me to do. My Sunday did come, though. I left yesterday morning to drop off my dad in some little town in Idaho to catch his ride. It wasn't the usual spot so the ride took an extra hour of driving leaving me to take the long way home. We drove through Logan Canyon and drove right past Bear Lake. I've heard so much about the little lake town that I thought I knew what to expect. I didn't. The lake itself is HUGE. I knew it spanned two states, but seriously, how big can a lake be? Anyway, I dozed for a while because the night before I was up late racking my brain for solutions to a few predicaments my dad and I found ourselves in. Money had literally ran out and our fo...

It's been 2 months since I last posted or read anything blog related. It's kind of overwhelming to see how many blogs I have to catch up on. And forget about Facebook . I had almost 100 game requests and after about 2 seconds of accepting requests, I got overwhelmed by the sheer volume. I can't say that I've missed playing those stupid games, so maybe it's time to cut myself off and ban myself from playing those Sim based games for the next forever. Anyway, in the past 2 months, I've moved. I've applied for jobs. I've consistently cleaned my bathroom every week. I've met people. Including a very cute cowboy from Idaho. I've also found myself in charge of driving my dad to Malad City, Idaho and picking him up in Logan, Utah every other week when he works in the natural gas fields in Wyoming. That's how I met the Idaho Cowboy. He's my dad's ride to Wyoming. Other than that, I haven't been doing a whole lot. Just a lot of walking ar...
