Snow?!

It snowed. Is that allowed on March 30th? I don't think so. I was just wearing shorts last week. But for now I will turn back to jeans and sweatshirts..... and HOT CHOCOLATE! WOOHOO! I love hot chocolate! Enjoy your weather... whether its snow or sun.... go have some fun.
(look at those skillz, I sure do have a way with wordz.... ha!)

Baking?

I made some muffins last night, and I don't cook that often at all, but I am trying to get more into it. The best thing about these muffins is, they aren't burnt. Miracle! They were delicious!

thinking... can be dangerous

I've been thinking alot lately and I have decided that I want to be a photographer. I'm not sure how I will get there, but it's gonna happen.

The Eye of the Bull

Check this out! It happened tonight at about 11:15ish. So cool! This is real. I even have a witness.

oh crap!

yah...


i did it again.....


but the policeman was still really nice.

the new job

So I got a new job about two weeks ago and I really like it. It has been going really well. I sit at a desk and register people for independent study classes, register them for sports camps and other conferences, and then tell all the other people how to get to where they want to go. I work with some really cool people and everything has been going smoothly… until today. I accidentally pressed the panic button right under my computer. Yeah… the red one that you are never supposed to push unless there is a killer on the loose in the building. Well, I pushed it. But I wasn't quite sure if I pushed it, so I didn't do anything. Two minutes later the police called to see if everything was alright because the alarm was going off. Kiley, a cute girl I work with, answered the phone and told them it was an accident and they put her on hold. Then we saw this police officer peeking around the corner from right inside the door. The person on the phone was talking to him and then was switching over to Kiley, too. The person on the phone had Kiley wave her arms in the air so that the policeman would know that she was really the person on the phone. It was pretty entertaining, until the guy wanted to know who pushed the button and what their student id number was. He said that they weren't going to do anything and that I wasn't in trouble but they just needed to document what happend. So I guess it ended well and gave us something to laugh about at work and something semi-interesting for you to read, but hopefully this won't be a frequent occurance.

LENT (attempted)

so i thought Lent would be a cool thing to do this year. i'm not catholic or anything but i wanted to see if i could give up something for 40 days. apparently i cannot. i tried to give up sweets. all sweets. can we say suicide? what was i thinking? i couldn't eat ice cream, cookies, candy, cake, brownies, etc. i did allow myself to have hot chocolate though because it's cold outside. i was completely dedicated to the idea of Lent even after i had failed to get my friends to try it with me, until i was confronted by a milkshake. i just had to have some. so i did. and i failed. i went a whopping 4 days without sweets. pathetic? yeah...pathetic. good thing im not catholic.

my boy

jeremy and me... he's great and oh so cute!

Reuben

This is my totally sweet fish. He is a Siamese Fighting Fish, or commonly known as a betta fish. I got him for Valentine's Day along with some flowers from Jeremy. It was such a wonderful day. This guy's full name is Reuben the Great Betta Clover. He is Reuben the Great because we went to Jason's Deli (great place by the way... so good) and there was a sandwich called "Reuben the Great", so we renamed the fish from just Reuben to Reuben the Great. His middle name is Betta because Jeremy called him Betta the first day he had him before he gave him to me and we didn't want to leave that out and his last name is Clover because that's Jeremy's last name. Hopefully, I can provide for Reuben. He's such a cool fish and so chill. He's hanging out with me right now. He might even be able to see himself on the screen. Anyways, I couldn't ask for a better, more easy going pet. Thanks Jeremy, you are the best! I finally have my cute little fish..... love it!

Last Day :(

today was my last day of working as an early morning custodian. i got a new job on campus where i will be working in the afternoons. from here on out i will not have to wake up at 4 in the morning to go to work. i am so excited to get more sleep. the three to four hours a night was just not cutting it. i will be able to sleep in until 8.... amazing. every friday we have breakfast and today was no different. we had crepes today and they were so good. i filled mine with pina colada yogurt, raspberries, bananas, peaches, and whipping cream. delicious. since it was my last day, Shana brought in her Wii and we did some boxing. i won my match right after it went into the fourth round. it was pretty intense. i am definitely going to miss the people i have worked with and have had the chance to meet over the last 7.5 months. thanks for making it so fun guys! we have had some good laughs and classic times. for those of the crew that continue to respond to the 3:30 alarm clock... i salute you.

A Kitty Cat?

A random cat just moseyed on into our apartment today. It was really strange. I didn't think cats wandered about the streets in the winter time. It must have been cold. The poor thing was reluctant to leave. Sarah, the courageous soul, was the one that picked up the fierce feline and set it outside. But she only did so after she came at Jeremy with it and chased him around the room with it. Jeremy had quite an entertaining reaction. He was screaming and telling Sarah he was going to kick it if she didn't get it away from him. I guess he doesn't like cats. Who would have thought? Sarah left and called two minutes later to apologize to Jeremy. She felt bad because she realized she stuck a ferocious, murderous kitten on her boyfriend’s twin or her roommate’s boyfriend. Confused? We (Sarah and I) hope you realize the ridiculousness of calling a little kitten murderous, in fact the kitten was really nice and Sarah wants it to be her new best friend. The pictures are of the kitty's path. It started outside, came inside, sauntered around, and then the cat went back outside and escaped.

im at the public library

i was studying... and studying... and studying (yes even on a friday night), and then i decided to take a mental break from the whole thing and go mess around on the internet for a minute or two (or twenty... whatever). public libraries are interesting places with interesting people. the computer i am sitting at seems to have a delightful stench that just might be here forever. probably into the millenium. yah... it's gross. hopefully i don't leave this computer with a new smell as a souvenir. the people around me look like they have been sitting here for more than half their lives and they are glued to their computer screens. it looks as though some of my fellow computer users shower about once every two weeks. not even kidding. maybe they are trying to conserve water. that's nice of them. caring for the environment is important. the public library really is a great place to study when i want a change of scenery from the library on campus and it is a lot more entertaining when I want to be distracted from reading the assignemtns from the textbooks. i would definitely recommend it. but maybe i would recommend the public computer usage only to those that have stuffy noses. otherwise just haul your laptop to the library... its worth it. well i gotta run (or just walk calmly to all of my stuff)... my statistics book is probably calling my name and the timer reads that I have 54 minutes remaining for my computer session which means i have been on here for way more than 20 minutes. aaahhhh!

GGGGOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLL!

intramural soccer update!

our game on saturday was almost as intense as this one... seriously... ok maybe not that intense, but close

our soccer game was amazing... we actually won! woohoo. both halves this time. it was 6-1. and guess what??!? i scored. yeah you read it right. i scored a goal. the second goal in the game to be more precise. steve, this guy on our team, crossed the ball to me and i knee-ed it in the goal right off the cross. no bounce, no trap, no nothing. there was even a defender there trying to throw my game off. they failed though, and I succeded. there's the story, it wasn't that amazing, but it was alot of fun. and since it's co-ed soccer, the goals that girls score are worth 2 points... kind of a wierd concept since im not into the whole special treatment thing just because i'm a girl, but i was ok with getting 2 points for my team :)

President Hinckley...

...passed away last night. What a wonderful life he lived and strong anchor he has been for me. I'm glad he went in peace and can now be with his eternal sweetheart he has been missing so much. President Hinckley has made such a positive influence on the world and has blessed so many countries with holy temples. I am so blessed to be part of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I know that it is true and through it I can reach my divine potential. President Hinckley will be forever remembered.

I'm a Hero.

soccer

Me and a couple of my roommates went to our first intramural soccer game today. It was fun. We beat the other team in the second half. We scored two goals and they didn't score any... but they already had six goals from the first half, so we actually did lose. Thats ok though... then we have room for improvement. I was the only player that got called for a foul today. Yeah! You know it! I tripped this kid that thought he knew what he was doing... Ha! lol. just kidding... I didn't even mean to trip him. I was just aggressively going for the ball and then he ended up on the ground. Fun stuff. I haven't played soccer in a while and it was so nice to play again. We have games everyother Saturday so I will report on those eventually.

never seen before!

so in the parking garage for the apartments i live in i always notice the colors of the cars. i don't know why, i just do. we have recently had three red cars in a row, four yellow cars in a row, and just spotted last night were six white cars in a row. this has to be a record... not just for my apartment complex... but for the whole world. seriously, six white cars all parked right next to eachother. so weird. anyways i wanted to share this phenomenon with everyone. let me know if you find any bigger ones...

My Goals...

I figured I should follow through and make these public, then maybe I will actually do them. They are more like goals for the semester, but here they are:

Exercise more
Learn to like at least one vegetable
Read each assignment for all of my classes this semester
Go to bed earlier (10:30 sounds good)
Get to know all of the girls in my ward
Start cooking, at least a little bit

I plan to keep all of these in mind this semester and slowly work towards them. We'll see how that goes...

Last Post of 2007

So 2007 is only hours away from being over...forever. It's been a great year though. I've had so much fun. I'm looking forward to 2008 and everything that it will bring... especially the Olympics. Those will be sweet. I should probably make some resolutions... those would be good. I will think about them and post them sometime soon I'm sure. I hope you all have a fun and safe New Years!

I'm saving the world...

I was incredibly excited about this Christmas gift and I know Kristen will be excited, too. My mom just had to laugh becuase it only cost a dollar. This is a reusable bag for my groceries. Instead of using one or two paper or plastic bags everytime I go to the grocery store, I can just use this guy. It is so perfect. I usually don't buy that much stuff anyways because I take my scooter to the store, so I will be able to fit all of my purchases into this bag. My efforts are slowly making this world a better place. If anyone wants to join me in my quest to make this earth a little more wholesome and pure... you can buy yourself one or two at Walmart for $1 each. What an amazing deal for the great work you are doing!
