Half-Marathon?

Alright, so I'm trying to figure out whether or not I ought to train for the SLC Half-Marathon coming up in mid-April... I know that if I put my mind to it, I can do AND my school schedule is looking pretty awesome this semester to where I'm positive I can fit a training regime in just fine. Do I want to train for it...?? Aahh... I can't decide...

Any thoughts? Suggestions?? Please comment here, or lemme know what you think on Facebook! Thanks :)

Spring Semester

Okay, so day numero dos of this Spring '10 semester was just as awesome as yesterday! My classes are looking great so far - which is actually a problem because I signed up for 15 credit hours with the intent of dropping one class and at this point I have NO IDEA which one I should drop. I was talking to my mom yesterday and I'm planning on going all week and then deciding over the weekend what I'm going to do and I actually might just keep all 5 classes.... I just have to see if the course load for all 5 classes is going to be do-able. So we'll see!

Right now I'm at work for another hour and a half and I just wanna go home. I'm really exhausted from the start of the semester and I think I might be getting sick because my throat is hurting like a motherf-cker. Boo. I don't want to be sick! I just want some ice cream to ease the pain and attempt to numb my throat for at least a little while. So I might be getting some when I get home tonight, I'm still undecided.

So I have discovered that CHI straighteners (not cheese straighteners - which is what 3 of my friends on separate occasions over the past two days have thought I said) are MAGIC. ...aaaand basically now I have to get myself one. haha I was going to get one today, but I think I'm going to wait until payday... I suppose we'll see if I can hold out that long. Alrighty, later!

Twenty-Ten

Wow... so 3 months later, here I am! Last night I had a great time with my buddies and was encouraged to post again, which is actually a good idea. At this point in life, I honestly cannot complain! I got nothin'. haha School starts again tomorrow and I can't f*ckin' wait. The nerd in me has been ready for the past 2 weeks already, so I'm pretty psyched. :)

On weight loss, I made the goal of 6 lbs/mo so by my birthday I should be about 10 pounds away from my goal! I just gotta keep up the good work, drinks lots of water, get into a good workout routine, and not fall to all the MANY saboteurs out there. I can do it!

Mentally, I've been doing so good the past few months, since D moved in. Thank God for her! We were talking about it last night actually, and since she's moved in, I had one momentary lingering thought of poor judgment... But other than that, the past semester couldn't have been better! Laters

Fall Break - take 3.

It's the end of my third Fall Break and I can't believe how fast time is flying! I was fortunate enough to get to go home for a little bit, but in two days I had a dentist appt, eye doctor appt (that resulted in my first pair of glasses... yippee!), and a physical AS WELL AS having to take Lex in for a tire rotation, brake alignment and check, brake replacement, oil and lube change, AND inspection. It was a crazy two days, but I think I can safely say that I am shiny and new again.

The weather here has been phenomenally gorgeous. I just love this crisp fall weather that hasn't *yet* included snow! The past few days I've been doing some powerwalking/jogging around the Aves and holy crap have I been sore! All those hills are such a good workout.

Oh! So I have figured out what I'm going to be for Halloween this year.... and it's brilliant. But no one (with the exception of my fam who helped think it up, and you priviledged ONE confidant...) is going to know until it's revealed at the work party on Friday, Oct 31. It's gonna be good. :)

Fresh new season. Fresh new respect.

A new football season, a new group of buddies, a new romantic interest, more fun than the year before, same ol' f*cking drinking standards. Gosh, the whole college binge drinking scene plus pressure to drink plus disrespect/intolerance really gets to me... Now, don't get me wrong, I don't want to come off as a prude and say "zero drinking, zero fun." No. These are the college years! Just do it responsibly! This idea that we need to "pre-game" or get smashed in order to have fun is bull. And drinking games are way fun! But if I want to be included and not drink, that should be cool. Respect your buddies and other people's decisions to not drink. Be tolerant of those who both are drinking and those who aren't. And no, "free beer" is not a legit reason for why I *have* to drink your beer.

On the flip side, damn I'm growing up. Each year my new group of friends is more and more mature, more responsible, more understanding, makes me feel so much more comfortable, and in return, makes the new football season the best yet! So thank you guys. On that note, Go Utes! And more importantly... GO COLTS!

Goodbye J :'(

This post tonight is for J - a dear and beloved friend whom I look up to and thank God everyday for - who's time in SLC has come to an end. He requested that I write about our lovely dinner at Squatters tonight!! All I can say is: cheap, delicious food, fantastic friends, booze, "that's what she said," and lots and lots of laughter. Quote of the night had to be "THAT'S NOT CREAM SODA..!!" haha Oh man, how I'm going to miss that guy... ah here come the tears again. So many good times and many more to come. God Bless you J, and best of luck.

Yeah, thanks. Thanks a lot.

I just watched a customer prepare and roll his chew at my checkstand, spilling all over. Really? You couldn't wait like 10 seconds til you were outside? Douchebag.

Saturday

Oh my gosh, okay so today was an utterly fantastic day. Fan-f*ckin-tastic, to be exact!! Gotta love getting up early to shower but not worry about hair or makeup, coffee with the girlfriends, meeting our guy buddies in Bountiful to cheer them on and support them at their morning softball game, a 4-car caravan ride up to Kaysville to this cute family diner where the special was a "Crape Breakfast" and as we were leaving, C managed to erase the 'e' on "crape" (which was AWESOME!), free slurpees at 7/11 on 7/11 day, and back to the great SLC where I did lots of cleaning, took a kick ass nap, and went off to work to make some mulah. If that's not the definition of fan-f*ckin-tastic, then I dunno what is... :)

PS. I don't know what I'd do without C, E, & J. My friendship with them means the WORLD and the times we've had together are priceless. I love you guys!

"...needs?"

From 27 Dresses:
- "Well I mean, what about you? You don't have any needs?"
- "No. I'm Jesus."

Haha That part of the movie ALWAYS - without a doubt - makes me bust out laughing! So I juse made some mac and cheese for dinner and borrowed some milk from my roommate that she thought smelled iffy and I thought smelled fine... welllllllll I'm starting to think maybe she was right. :/ I guess time will tell, and trust me, I'm PRAYING either the milk was fine or I have an iron lined stomach...

Before I TGIF-it and say "later," I just had to say that I have had such a fantastic day today! Simply fantastic :)

Cheers! TGIF!

Enough is enough.

Geez I'm frustrated... Some where, some how I desperately need to figure out how to EMBRACE motivation. What's stopping me?
