And the room bowed down to us

Last night was the ward's Halloween party. We all seemed to have the same problem of not knowing what we would dress up as. At one point I was going to steal Charlotte's clothes and racquetball gear and just be her. It was a genius plan because it would have been free. After brain storming with Joanna we decided we wanted to be something girly (which doesn't narrow things down too much). As we were sitting in the middle of boas, funky shoes, and scarves a bright idea popped into Joanna's head. We started watching "Thoroughly Modern Millie" and decided to be girls out of the 30's. From there we became mobster and eventually we had a whole gang. Later Joanna had to bail but our gang included Muscles, Delilah, The Boss, Daisy, and Babyface. It was great; we walked into the party and everyone turned to us. We're doing this again on Friday for Sarah's party and Dustin and I are going to Phantom of the Opera all dressed up.

The Amazing Vitamins!

I’ve been out for a while. I have my good days and I’m excited to be feeling better but then I over do it and crash. I’m thinking I have a deficiency problem like I had in high school. To fix this problem my mom sent me an amazing care package with food, candy, a web cam and some vitamins. I am pretty sure she’s trying to tell me something with each of these items. I took a vitamin yesterday morning thinking “good girl” but much to my dismay they had my insides wanting to be on my outside. I figured it was because I had yet to eat breakfast but today I decided to read the label (smart huh?) These vitamins are for “active” people (which I am not). I guess my mom just thought they would have some extra “stuff” in them. After reading the label I found out that they do! They have about the same amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee. Great! I had been caffeine free for three months now! Yes I am addicted, I have no shame in saying it but do I have to start over now? Just in case you are wondering, I did take another one today. I need the vitamins. I’ll just have to get a different kind. But until then…

Down for the Count

Not much to update here. I’ve been sick which has left me sitting on my couch watching alias. My doctor has no idea what is wrong with me and worse, she doesn’t seem to think it’s a big deal. I love that I just paid to have her tell me suck it up. I guess they have to pay off their loans from medical school some how.

On to better news; I’ve decided to graduate in a year. It’s only a semester early but it feels like it’s so close. My plan so far is to work for an airline and start to travel the world. I think I’ll take up an investment property too. Not sure where, I guess close to where I’m located with work. I’ve had mixed reviews about the airline decision. Some people have told me not to do it while others are really excited for me (like my parents because the benefit from it). I’ll put up a survey so you can tell me what you think.

The game last night made me want to cry and the office was kind of disturbing. I would be ok if Dwight never did that again. All in all I’ve been spending time with friends and enjoying myself despite the fact that I’m exhausted. You only live once and as Dave would say “I’ll sleep when I’m dead.”

It's On Days Like These...

I don’t think this weekend could have been any better. The Boman sisters and I went up to temple square and got into BOTH sessions of Conference on Saturday. During the first session I was 16 rows from the front! We had to stand in line in the cold rain, but it was completely worth it. I tried to get into the American Sign Language section but since I obviously didn’t need it, they didn’t let me in. After the sessions on Saturday we went to the Gateway mall and I bought an awesome pair of shoes. And the funny thing is, I HATE shoe shopping!! I didn’t get home until about 9ish but I then hung out with Dave and his sisters and finally crashed in bed around midnight.

Sunday morning I was stirred from sleep by Dave. He did warn me that he would wake me up in time for the Sunday morning session, but did I believe him? I will now! I spent Sunday at Dave’s watching conference, eating, and goofing off. Good times. And then Dustin came over to practice for the talent show. Charlotte thinks we agreed to sing “A Part of Your World” from The Little Mermaid. We’ll see how that goes. But never the less our piano was getting played and it sounded amazing! As long as I wasn’t singing along of course. Sunday night was dessert night at our house, an excuse to hook up Char’s brother and good friend. Another late night brings me to Monday morning, homework not done, work and school. Back to normal life again!

It's on days like these you realize that even if you don't have things figured out everything can still be ok.

I currently can’t find my other chip; I think it fell out of my bag. Sad Day! But here is a couple from the Saturday Afternoon Session.

P.S. I found out today that I am going home for Thanksgiving!!

Life is Good

I seem to do a lot of my blogging at work and should probably stop but let’s face it, I won’t. This week has been tough but just the kind of week I needed to get back in the game we call life. I learned that taking spring and summer term off isn’t the smartest idea. You tend to forget that you do have to study for classes and read the assignments. I’m not the brightest crayon in the box…I’m more of a teal blue. I love to procrastinate; I like waiting until the last minute to write a paper because then I sit down to start and finish the same paper. None of this first draft/ final draft nonsense. I had a presentatoin in ASL on Tuesday, then I took my English test and wrote my Mythology paper on Wednesday, go me! The whole week I kept thinking “My week is shot.” But then Wednesday night I finished my paper and turned it in Thursday afternoon. I still have my wonderful three day weekend (excluding coming in to work Friday morning). Life is good. Tomorrow I will be heading up with the Boman sisters to visit temple square and try to get into a session or two of Conference. I can't wait!
