Catching Up!

Time to catch up!



Bruce Wayne (my baby boy puppy) finally has a new home. He goes to his new place today. His new dad is Jon, who was actually my roomate for a month. His daughter Avery is this ADORABLE little blonde with glasses and an IQ that is bigger than she is, and when they lived with us, she was smitten. Jon seems to be really excited to have him so I am happy about this.



On the other hand, since my return from chicago, I paid NO mind to my chores at home. Then I went to Utah for my friends wedding. Utah was a GREAT experience. I went with one of my best pals Sarah, and the others made us feel RIGHT at home. Im not gonna lie, coming back to AZ SUCKED. Not just because the plane was small and forever smelled like a port-O-potty ( I was on the verge of vomiting for the entire 1.5 hour plane ride.) but because it was stuffy, I was sick from my belly full-of-amazing-Jeramiah's breakfast, AND my complimentary cranberry juice was FAKE. It was MINUTE MAID! Don't mean to sound like a diva here but I would HARDLY call that stuff juice. Tastes like a melted popscicle, which are better left frozen.

Utah was GORGEOUS. We were in Ogden and everyone was THE most friendly person I've ever met. What I mean when I say that, is every person I met there was nicer than the last one! Lol.



Since my return, I have been procrastinating the looming leaning-tower-of pisa like pile of laundry that began accumulating FAR too long ago. AND i didnt have school for three weeks. Instead of chores, I spent every minute I could out of the house spending hard earned dollars on pricey things I dont need but CANT live without. Such as COFFEE..dog toys, pricey lunches...etc.



However, my lazy days were numbered and now I am back on my productive train. This past weekend Tommy took me to a Diamonbacks game where i recieved a free bobblehead, followed by my BFF's going away bash which was an immense success. Sunday I guiltlessly snuck in 20 minute naps every few hours to attempt to regain what sleep I had lost throughout the weekend.



Now, for this week, I have a new gameplan. EXCERSIZE. My mornings will consist of a 4:00 AM wakeup call to hike a mountain near work, shower at work so I can NO LONGER BE LATE, and in the evenings that I have free, I just want to DANCE! (lol dane cook anyone?)



No let me explain, a few months ago I was incredibly excited about turning my garage into a gym. My roomate got excersize equipment, were planning to buy a TV to stick in there to do PX 90 (look it up if you dont know what it is) and I made a brave purchase of one HUGE gym mirror. The mistake? Transporting it in a truck that would not sustain it.



My gym garage is cursed. So i had to give up on that. I am looking into something like THIS instead: SWAY! Its a dance studio here in AZ.

Seriously, Your going to want to click that link. Its close to my house (kind of) and its something new! What a perfect way to get me out of my funk, and get my abs back!! Whoohoo! AND its everything I've wanted to try! Jazz, Zumba, Hip hop, latin stuff, SWAY! Very affordable and a good hobby. I will be able to afford at least once a week. :D im very content with this decision, only now, my tuesdays, wednesdays, thursdays, and now mondays are taken up. lol.



Alas, the last topic: Love life. I am experiencing what is called being a GIRL. I gotta tell you, I dont love it. One day, I'm confused and mad, and then next, my heart is aflutter, my eyes are smiling and my face is beaming.



I surrender. For now.



I'll get my Mojo back.

Just Warms My Heart Plain Icy

First off, read this articel:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/05/17/AR2009051702053.html?g=0

Second off- WOW!Im not gonna lie, in the selfishness I call my life, i never once imagined what these people go through. Here I complain (usually to myself) about things that I have.

Key words here: THINGS THAT I HAVE

I HAVE things. SO many people don't anymore. The Lord has blessed me in tremendous ways. My prayers extend to all those who suffer and the hand of economic poverty.

Tech Buzz

"I had this guy leave me a voicemail at work, so I called him at home, and then he emailed me to my BlackBerry, and so I texted to his cell, and now you just have to go around checking all these different portals just to get rejected by seven different technologies. It’s exhausting!"

So this is from the movie He's Just Not That Into You, and I gotta say, that has to be hit-it-right-on-the-head statement EVER! I like to think that communication these days is purely accesible, but if you think about it, its another burden to add to another stressful day.

When I first met my BF he did not text worth a dime. Literally. Perhaps I was the heavy influence that somehow managed to get him to convert to unlimited texting. Haha. OR maybe it's because once I texted the crap out of his phone, he realized that it was much simpler than calling and having a 5 second conversation that can run up his minutes. Anyway, back when my parents met they didn't have the technological luxuries that our generation does, but come to think of it- it may have been for the best.

Think about it, back then (in my parents generation) couples/people/parents, etc, had to suck ot up and basically go all day without being able to text/email/IM/ or whatever, everyone. They did not have the internet addiction flowing through the veins of their lives. People stayed together. Married for 30 + years. These days, if your married for 10, you are adulated by your peers. Really? 10?
Darlings, if you really expect "till death do you part" then 10 years is nothing. Unless of course you die. Wich would be tragic. Wouldn't wish it on anyone.

These days people are having affairs EVERYWHERE. And technology is a huge catalyst in this. People talk all day over IM or TEXT or EMAIL, and before you know it, your emotionally cheating (That is a topic I will discuss later) yikes. Ya know, my parents never had that chance, and it makes me wonder if theirs is true love, or they are still together due to the LACK of that "opportunity."

Good grief I hardly make any sense. And I don't even think I have a point. Lol. ah well.

Officially Sucks

So I got up nice and early this morning. Was feeling very awake and alert. Did my morning routine but OD'd on Raisin Bran. There wasn't enough milk in my bowl so the balance between the cereal and milk was lost!! Alas!

I don't have school tonight, actually on a little break. So spending extra time with my puppy is a must. Seeing as I have to find him a new home. Ya don't even talk to me about it. Talk about losing a part of your heart. Just lookit him:

So cute. And not just cute but a great listener....when I'm home at least. But his little white stripe! And his oversized paws for his little frame! And his green eyes! AH!

On a lighter note, this weekend will be busy! And tomorrow I get to see the kids again at FFK (Future for Kids/ Helping Hands) I get to see them at Camp on June 6th as well. Should be fun. Utah is just four days away. And so is my first ever One year anniversary. Hahaha too bad I'll be at a wedding!

So whats going on Memorial Day? Maybe christine and I should do mroe BBQ shenanigans. I think it'd be fun!

Also relishing in the fact that I dont have class, I will be spending time attempting to beat Super Mario World on NES. Bruce ate two controllers so now we have a limited amount of play time. ahaha!

I was thinking alot of religious philosphy, reality today, and biblical prophesy, and I gotta tell you. Life is grim. Are all of the events that have taken place coincidence, or predictions. Not to mention all the movies about the end of the world coming out. Like the road. Seriously, developers of these films are on a whole 'nother level or crazy. Makes me paranoid.

ANYWAY im going to try my hand at pizza bites and home-made (HEALTHY) popcorn tonight! Wish me luck!

This coffee is bitter.

Good Morning!

Welcome to my Blog page. Not always necessarily interesting, but for those who care, fabulous.

It has been an tremendous amount of time since I have placed my thoughts in writing. The last time I did that, I ended up keeping the journal for 4 years! NOT the most amazing recap, especially when your missing whats called "great defining moments in life." Pretty petty, but I guess I wanted to hold onto the memories for the sake of personal misery. I guess I felt that with life comes bad things, and it's impossible to be gloriously happy without SOMETHING bringing me down. Something that is not perfect.

I made the change and I got rid of the darn thing, and I couldnt possibly be happier. Why torment myself with things only I myself can read? Its ludicrous.

Anyway I'm happy this week is over. For real. It took a while to jump back on the horse. My last session for my COM 105 class was on Tuesday. I have a two week break and then I start my critical thinking class. I really dont think I should be in those kinds of classes. It breaks my heart that I can misconstrue things, hurt peoples feelings, be condescending, be a bit of a hypocrite, and not even realize it until all words have left my mouth. Sure I kick myself for it, but what good does that do.

Anywho. I just ate entirely too much soup and rice. Definatley lethargic now. Just finished looking through pictures of Naomi's wedding. Let me tell you man, when someone takes a picture, its FOREVER. So make sure you SMILE and if your an awful person *ahem* then FEIGN joy and smile anyway. LOL. Christine knows what I'm talking about. It was a really fun night that night. Followed by a disaterous two days. We kepts out wits about us (christine and I), and we gratefully accepted the help we could from, well, anyone! :D
