Pity post

After a lot of thinking, I've decided to do this post. Even though he may read it (although I'm very doubtful) I feel this will start giving me some sense of closure. Before you all get too confused (although most everyone who I know reads this already knows) Cameron told me he can't pictures his life without his ex-girlfriend in it. I found out Thursday night, I was mad, beyond mad. Then Friday came and I got sad (I cried at work again, I really need to get out of that habit) I feel like since Thursday up to now I've been through every emotion possible. I've never really been through this before and quite honestly it sucks. It's interesting for a few months now I've been saying I just don't see it working out with us and it was almost like my mind was slowly preparing me for it to happen, I think I just thought it'd be me to have to do it. I was completely blindsided when he told me the reason. And I know in the end it all works out. I probably had to go through this all for a reason, but that doesn't make it any better. Many of you I'm sure have noticed I've been a bit anti-social. I'm trying I really am, but I really just feel like being closed off for a bit and I promise if there's anything I need, I know where to go.



On a completely different note I got my ears pierced on Saturday. I had to get some make-up at Fashion Place and a few months back Sam tried to get me to do it. I said no, we didn't have time or something, well this time she asked and I just went along with it. I also ate some sort of nasty sushi, was it squid?? I'm not sure anyway, I was getting my hair done Friday night and Lidia was planning to go to dinner with friends who hadn't seen her since she's been back but she wanted someone to go with so she took Sam. Well, they decided it would be fun to bring leftovers home and make me try them, yeah what got me was the texture, but at least I swallowed it. I also went to Grandma's birthday party Saturday night. It was a good turnout and good to see everyone even if I was being a little anti-social. Well, that's it for now. If I go into hiding don't be surprised :)

Easter 2010

(Visit my Facebook for more pictures)

This year Easter landed during conference weekend. Well, of course you have to color eggs! Since it was Priesthood session and the guys usually go to that, the girls, since it was Grandma's birthday went to her house for a delicious dinner JJ made and colored eggs when the guys got back. We had quite the eventful evening. Sun had some Chinese friends who've never experienced and American Easter before, so they came over. Grandma also wanted funnel cakes for her birthday. Let's just say JJ and Sun are a tiny bit accident prone and somehow the container of powdered sugar ended up on Grandma. I'm not sure how I missed it, but JJ had to vacuum her off. Needless to say it was still a good night.

Here's Grandpa looking for his next color and Chalice super excited for her egg to be done.
The entire table, we had about 6 dozen eggs.

One of the few ones I did.
Grandma even got into it!


The Chinese girls enjoying their first Easter tradition.

Jacob had fun with the hair. I however refused to eat them, they decided super glue would work best to keep the hair on....

And finally the Easter Bunny visited me and Sam. I was going to try and sneak out before she got up, but she slept on the couch. We still enjoyed putting the puzzles together during conference. I was even going to make her hunt for the eggs, but decided this was enough. Hope everyone else had a good Easter!

Happy April Fool's

I could have gotten really creative and come up with a scheme to trick everyone, but I just didn't have the brain power. I could have also done something really obvious that was a joke like I'm engaged or I'm eloping tomorrow or something, but who are we kidding you all wouldn't believe that. So, I will leave it at this, Happy April Fool's Day. I also pinky swore with Sam last night I wouldn't do anything to her or I'd warn her if I knew anything would happen. I considered the typical stuff like put an elastic over the sink sprayer so when she turned it on it would squirt her among other things, but decided it wasn't worth the trouble because I'd probably forget about it and end up getting myself. Onto a completely different topic I've been doing a lot of reflecting lately. In another month it'll be a year since I graduated. And true recent graduates aren't expected to be presidents of companies quite yet, but I feel like I'm in idle mode. My entire life has been geared towards working to the next goal. In high school it was working to get to college. In college it was working hard to get scholarships, then to graduating. Now that I"m out, I feel I'm taking the easy, float along path. Sure, I'm not a couch potato (except for the fact I got home at 6:15 tonight, started dinner, was in pajamas by 6:30, fixed a plate, sat down at the couch by 6:45 with my food and a movie and currently sitting here still just with a Diet Coke) I mean I at least have a job, go to Church and try to be an active part of society at times ex. sorority, the caucus meeting (yeah I'm not doing volunteer work in Africa, but its a start) But besides all that, nothing. I had planned to get my Master's. In reality I'd need to set those plans in place now to be there next school year. I'd have to retake the GRE, decide what program, get letters of recommendation things that take months of preparation, yet what am I doing...watching Friends and Facebook stalking people. I know this is getting repetitive, I'm more or less just sorting out in my mind what I should be doing or goals I should be working at. Maybe grad school isn't for me, but I need to be actively making myself a better person. Get more involved, more charity work, more involved with Church. Even though sitting wrapped in a blanket on the couch by 6:30 every night isn't good, I know its not my life calling and I need to try a little harder to be a little better.

Cancun...where are you??

Another week down with another weekend gone even faster :( Overall it was a good week, I had a lot going on during nights, so I didn't have a lot of time for rest. I had to go to the much anticipated traffic school for my ticket. It actually wasn't as bad as I thought, it was just knowing I paid $30 for it and the fact I could think of about 10 other things I'd rather be doing. I also went to my neighborhood Caucus meeting. My dad was elected a county delegate, I was tempted to ask someone to nominate me to like secretary (since you don't really do anything, you just get the title) but decided to let it go to old people :) Work was good minus me having a random mini meltdown for no reason. Luckily Shannon was the only one to see me and I was in control before I totally lost it, I really don't know what to blame, it was just a bunch of stupid little things that added up and I also blame the pill which I started taking this week, hopefully it will cure the other problems that have been going on. It's weird never before has things like that really bothered me. Part of it I think was knowing I would be giving Bella away the next day. Yup, my parents made me do it. I'm still really sad about the matter, but am slowly getting over it by not thinking about it. I also had to go to the dentist for a cleaning where he told me I have to get my top wisdom teeth out soon. If you remember on two separate occasions I've had both my bottom ones out. They became infected and it was just bad. He wants to get the top two out before I have the same problem. I'm really nervous, I hate the dentist more then anything. He says these shouldn't be that bad, but still can it really be any fun?? Besides that, there's nothing really else big to report I could really use a vacation, Cancun is calling to me...

Another weekend

It was a good weekend overall, there were great points and bad points (really the only bad point was being sick Sunday), but overall it would rank as good. I went to another Jazz game with friends, lunch at Nielsens, watched some movies and pretty much just relaxed. I also did a much needed detail job on my car, inside and out. Now hopefully it doesn't rain again soon. I also brought my guitar to my new house. I decided I need to venture out in playing. I know the notes but not really chords, which is opposite of most people. I also need to broaden my horizon on the genres I can play. Yes, church music is lovely, but I want to learn more. Hopefully bringing it here will encourage me to play more. I wanted to start tonight, but decided people probably wouldn't appreciate that at 10:00 on a Sunday night. No worries, I'll keep you all posted when I start a band and make it big :) if you're lucky I'll give you free tickets to my concerts.

Blog reading

So, I was rereading some of my Grandma's old blog posts. Look at this one she did of me from two years ago. Here's the link to her blog don't you love my awesome glasses and mushroom hairstyle? I need to be better about posting pictures, but this will have to do for now at least the more recent ones aren't quite as embarrassing. It's quite fun to occasionally look back a few months even now I've had this long enough to go back a couple years to see what my life was like then compared to now. Well, I need some sleep....tomorrow and we're halfway through the week!

Vent post

I have no real reason to need to vent today other then I just feel like it. In all reality today was ok for a Monday, I wouldn't call it a great day but it wasn't bad either. Well, for whatever reason I feel like venting so here goes with a list of things that annoy me lately...


1. Sandy City, the police and justice court I have no idea why I moved here, but after receiving a ticket in a stupid speed trap when I tried to tell the guy I just came from the hospital....haha it was true although not really an excuse, he still gave me a ticket and after being told to keep calling back even though I waited the alloted time period, I was finally told today its going to be 90 bucks and was seriously like pulling teeth to find out who I pay and if I can go to traffic school

2. Utah drivers, when I come up behind you in the fast lane and you're going 60 it is common courtesy for you to change lanes not me

3. Qwest, where to begin with them from having 3 different people tell me I needed a new modem even when I read them the model number, by some stroke of luck I got I think the only nice technician they had who came out and made sure it really did work, to then being told they couldn't reverse the shipping on my bill because the account is too new, what kind of excuse is that??

4. Snow on the weekend and bright shiny days during the week when we're stuck inside all day

5. Discover card, I was transferred three different times each time a blind transfer so I had to explain it over again and kept getting sent to the wrong person, one chick sent me to her supervisor he thought I was mad from the beginning once I realized that I started to act like I was.

6. Knowing more then what the customer service person you're talking to does and you've never worked for the company

7. Semi's who cut me off then glare at me, what the heck dude you're lucky I noticed and changed lanes

8. Dramatic girls who talk about boys because they think its still cool (this one is actually kinda funny to sit back and watch)

9. Boys who text the entire date and have a 5 minute conversation with you after you've paid for everything

10. In reference to number 9 boys who text a girl the entire time but tilt the phone away and pretend they're not doing it, even though I saw the name when they first started doing it

11. Being third wheel in awkward moments

And finally hitting every red light making you 10 minutes late when really you left home 5 minutes early that morning thinking you'd have time to stop and get an amazingly refreshing Diet Coke instead to have to rush to make it on time.
