#1: I've recently begun a new "dance therapy" exercise, evolving from rants and rages resulting from lack of sleep and stressful schoolwork. I come home from school, turn on the I-tunes, and dance my little heart out till I'm panting and have put a smile back on my face! Its wonderful!
Seriously, y'all should try it. Don't worry about hallways, beds, company, etc..... just jump on anything in your way and DANCE IT OUT!
Whew... I think... yep.... time out for a little dance...

Kay, I'm back

#2: I love hot water with a little dollop of honey. MMMMM!!! Its cheap, its delightful, and not too many calories at all!

#3: I hate socks. I've probably mentioned this once or five times.... but i'm serious. Who ever invented such a constrictive, toe - numbing, sweat chamber!? I hate them. Lets boycott.
By the way, contrary to popular belief, my feet dont smell at all! Drink water. Its key!

#4: I snort when I laugh. It merits much jeering from my friends, but I cannot help it.
I blame it on a deviated septum.

#5: I love Phil Colins and the Beastie Boys. I can sing any song from either artist, but try to avoid this tidbit about myself with any prospective boyfriends - who knew its a turn off?

#6: When I was younger I lost my pointer fingernail on my.... left? hand.... yes.
By the way, it was due to an infection from a hangnail! Ew..
And has since grown back :)

#7: I run constantly. Here's my secret: don't run because you want to lose weight and you feel like you have TO DO IT! You'll end up despising it.
Run when you FEEL like it. Trust me. It is also excellent therapy. Run it out..

Okkay.
There were seven insights into my soul...

I have no one to tag!

XXOO

One of those months....

I realized the other night a few things about myself.

#1: I am paranoid of psycho people breaking into my house. I blame this constant fear on my 12th grade Psychology teacher. We had to do a project studying the criminal actions of famous murderers. What kind of project is that? I learned nothing other than the fact that our world is full of sick, dark people. So, Thanks Mr. Gillespie. Great class! I struggle sleeping sometimes at night when I'm home by myself. I pray and pray for help with this and its amazing how the Spirit can work and make your heart warm and squishy!

#2: I am a pretty strong woman! I turned 20 this week - which is a whole other story in itself. It's one of those times when I feel like I am older than this. Ya know? But I guess that's what all kids say, huh? Haha. But, back on track, I feel so independant right now. Nothing is stopping me! I am working at a company that I love that is throwing me right into the career I want. I feel so passionate about my work, I love it! I feel extremely blessed to be so young and be in the place that I am. I learn more in 3 days at work than I have in a semester at school, and I get paid a butt load, too! How cool is that??

#3: Okay, I didn't get that far, I just like to list things, so I started listing :)

As for my birthday - it is TOO wierd to be 20. I remember 10 years ago when I was probably in 5th grade. I was such a loser, its funny to think about. I would read like crazy and run around in the woods by myself. Good thing I shaped up and got cool. Oh wait. I still read like a nerd and run around by myself.

:) Maybe i'm not as old as i think i am!

Here's a picture to take ya'll back to the good ole days.

Note: My socks with sandals = sick! But Nutella looks really good there. Huh. Lucky!

Well, thanks for indulging in this little

tidbit of ME!

XXOO

No kidding! It's really me!

Well, I see that its been a good while. Figured its time to make my reapearrance into the blogging community, partly in response to Pink Factor's "Where Have All the Bloggers Gone", and partly in action to get my dear Mother back on here! The last time she wrote was her birthday, Come on! She's so funny, I just love reading her stuff.

So, pretty much I'm back in my college town. Loving life! Back at my favorite job! Currently, I am sitting on the floor absorbed in my newest addiction: Planet Earth

Have you ever watched this show? I highly recommend it. Not only does it fall on a Sunday, which is a perfect sabbath activity, but provides me with friend- stunning facts!

Did you know there is a 6 0' clock Kicada that lives on New Guinea and cries at exactly 6 o'clock every evening? Fascinating! You'll have 'em entranced with your random fact library.

Sad that this has become a highlight of my week, just like approximately half of the population over the age of 50. Whatever. I just got over it.

The other night was quite eventful. I enjoyed a lovely little date.....with...myself. I realized, I really like myself. The movies I chose, though, were a little iffy in the beginning. Just for your info - do not rent Mozart and the Whale.

I even splurged a little and bought myself some Wendy's ( 2.99 chicken meal, its amazing, I really do suggest it if you are confined to a college budget) AND Coldstone's. That was probably the best part of the date. In the end, I decided not to call myself ever again.

Ew, now Planet Earth is talking about " Fungal Filaments" while i'm eating a frozen pizza that

is suspiciously feeling like the consistancy of fungii.....

I have to go.

Good to be back!

Things I Love Thursday

It's Tuesday, isn't it? ...Well, who cares. I'm pretty sure I didn't write last Thursday, so we'll just say this counts...

1. I - Pod Mini ( in mint green, of course)

I am so thinkful for this little invention. Even though its RIDICULOUSLY trendy, and I had a hard time adjusting to the fact that I was now one of the millions of I- Pod owners, it has definitely improved my quality of life! I can walk to class and have a party in my head, and it helps me focus 100% on my projects. I can zone out in my own little world. And its so cute, its all slim and green......which sounds kind of gross I guess......slim and green? Rather like a moldy noodle....ew.

2. McDonalds Snack Wrap

WOW! Have you had one!!?? Only $1.29 and filled with delicious goodness. I hear they aren't too bad for you, unfortunately they are rather tiny, so fair warning, YOU WILL WANT TWO!

but you MUST control yourself!!

I actually get one of those, a fruit and walnut salad, and a diet Coke, which is only about $3.

Pretty sweet for a college budget.

3. New Balance cross country jogging shoes ( in electric orange)

They make my feet rejoice! They have formed to my foot prefectly,

and give my arches amazing support. i've put a lot of miles on them, and i'm seriously due for

some new ones.....momma needs a NEW pair of shoes! haha...nope, just kidding.

I'm an avid ex- jogger now.

Too much to do, so little time!

Well, short blog, eh? I'm just satisfying the fans with these short blogs.

Peace out

" Oh....its my shoulder angel..."

Good news: I'm still alive
Better News: I'm back up at school with all my friends
Bad News: I'm back up at school...

So, between the drafting class, the Space Planning, the drawing, and the Auto CAD computer class, IM ONE BUSY LITTLE GIRL!
I'm so glad to be back up here with all my friends, and acutally run around with people my age, after a lonely summer!
The workload at school acutally doesn't feel too heavy. I feel like my time management is pretty simple: if i'm not in the building working on homework, i should be. There is always something to do! See! Easy!
My goal for this year is to get A's in all of my classes, which i'm pretty sure has yet to happen since i was in 2nd grade...
we'll see....i'm feeling pretty confident.
Dating, you ask?YES!!!!! HeLLO ......its BYU- I DO out here....its ridiculous. I acutally went on a date last night with a guy i've had a "crush" on since last semester in my math class. Considering the fact i hated math, i think it made me dislike the people in there too...i didn't really talk to him much. Well, we went out. It was fun. Boys are good.
I can feel the cold coming. After reading Bright One's blog about fall coming and how excited she was....it made me seriously want to throw up a little in my mouth.....I HATE SNOW! ( but i still love YOU, mom!)

I can feel the snow coming. Its already freezing here!! I'm bracing myself for it.
welp, got to go to work....
XO!

You think you know, but you have no idea...

Well, it happened. For the first time in my life I have finally gone through a surgery. Before now, I had felt like a baby, nothing seriously bad has ever happened to my body, and I knew I could never deal with anything painful, and being "put out" scared me to death, i'll be perfectly honest with you. ( I have zero pain tolerance, and whine about most things....its sad...sorry mom).

So, after getting the teeth pulled, i am now sucking breafast lunch and dinner through a straw...and my face is swollen like a small rodent ( and is getting worse by the hour)....

To everyone out there who has had their wisdom teeth pulled...hats off to you. This sucks..

I only hope that I will get over this soon so i can look halfway decent when traveling across the country to go back to college....

Being swollen and sore could potentially be a REALLY bad way to start my sophomore year...

awesome..

Here are some sweet pics because i love to laugh at myself!

go ahead...have a giggle...

"The Pentavrit! They meet Tri- Annually at a Colorado Country Club...known as....The Meadows."

So, as I sit in the store, comtemplating the recent events of my day and trying not to move my mouth in any way other than to give a little giggle to my title of this, my newest blog, I think back to the day when I was at my orthodontist's office looking at some x- rays and looking him in his wee beady eyes as he calmy told me that it was quite possible that I " might not have wisdom teeth."
Good news, I thought. Never to endure the surgery that my friends would all go through, living with puffy cheeks like a rodent, and drinking raisin bran through a straw...

Ohhh noooo my friends...oh no. I AM DESTINED TO THAT FATE!!

After a few weeks of unknown pain in my jaw, calls to my dad whining, and dealing with some rather sketchy numbing gel that is JUST ridiculous and only ended up numbing everything BUT the tooth, I made my trip to the dentist.
They took my x- rays, where I saw not ONE wisdom tooth but FOUR! Who WAS that doctor that told me I didn't have any? Did I just imagine that? Was he just some hobo off the streets?

So, the dentist comes in and looks at my tooth for about two seconds.He proceeds to tell me "Yep, its infected and its got to come out ASAP"....timidly I asked how i would be able to function ie; eat food, go to work, DRIVE......and it wasn't looking good, so I decided it would be better to wait TWO WEEKS until I can get it done at home with some tender loving care by my sweet -one -who -birthed -me.

So, here we go. Armed with my 3 days worth of anti-biotics and a few bottles of extra strength tylenol.......

I just keep thinking about the four gaping holes i'm going to have in my head after all this...
The whole thing seems really barbaric...not to mention ridiculously painful....ripping my teeth out of my head...yikes.

Updates on this little guy later!
