Welllllll here it is TWO months after I created this bloggie and this is only my second post! I TOLD you I was terrible at keeping a "journal." In the last couple months I quit a job, started a new job, and then was laid off from that job. That kinda stinks but I'm not taking it too hard. I figure since school is less than 2 months away I can just enjoy the holidays with the fam. Plus, I have all sorts of sewing and baking projects calling out my name. I'm looking forward to going back to school - just so I can get closer to getting my BMA! Can't wait to graduate. I'm really not a big "school" person. At least not the whole sitting in a classroom for hours writing down notes from the board and carrying around books and trying to keep track of every. single. assignment. Hoping you didn't miss one resulting in an F if you did. Sigh. Just no fun at all to me. I really don't know how all these people go on and get their masters and PhDs! I'm having enough trouble getting my BA as it is. Maybe if the system was different. I dunno. Really, its not THAT bad. But I would definitely rather work. I like work. Its good. And I have fun doing it. Doesn't matter what I end up doing (within certain limitations), I just know I can't wait to get done with the whole student classroom thing.
Other things I'm excited about: Kings game in Sactown in two days! Yay! Going with 20 of my friends and family. The week after that, I get to spend another weekend with some of my favorite relatives in Capitola! My uncle will be away so I'll be helping my aunt with her three amazing cute kids! Then two weeks after that its Thanksgiving. I'll be celebrating it with my relatives in Oxnard, CA! I love me some turkey! Yumm! Oh, and somewhere in there is my birthday, but that's not THAT important or anything... ;)
Hope you all had a good Halloween. I finally got to have a nice chill Halloween handing out candy to the cute kids in my neighborhood and dancing with friends the Saturday before. I dressed up as Aphrodite. I would put up some pics BUT I haven't quite figured out how to do that in a blog yet.
I will however leave you with this quote: "A coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous." (spelled both of those big words withOUT needing spell check btw...). Albert Einstein is said to have said that. So we'll just stick with that. :)

Hoppin' on the blog wagon!
So, here I am, giving into the whole "blogging" thing a try. What made me cave you ask? I dunno... Maybe all the random thoughts I have jumping around in my brain from day to day just needed a place to go. And since my "keeping a journal" skills could be summed up as pretty much non-existent, then I figure why not use the online world to keep track of myself. Not saying anyone in particular will find me anymore exciting than going through old receipts. Except of course the woman who gave me life some 23 years ago (Hi, mom - yes I know your reading this). Other than that... if you happen to be reading through this I hope I can provide you with some sort of entertainment to distract you from the monotony of daily life.
Ahh, where should I start? I think I'll begin by asking a profound and deep question for all to contemplate and hopefully answer: What would you do if you were a billionaire? As I was driving home from work today and listening to the radio, I was greeted once again with Travis McCoy's song, Billionaire. If you haven't had the, uh, privilege of listening to it, he sings: "I wanna be a billionaire so fricking bad, buy all of the things I never had. I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine, smiling next to Oprah and the Queen. I’ll be playing basketball with the President..." And on and on. Ah, Travis, what a philosopher. If I had a billion $$ I'd move to Newport beach, buy a house on the lake that flows into the ocean, and rent out rooms to college kids for way cheap. Then get a professional to teach me how to knit.
Moving onto other more serious things. Now I can start talking about a REAL important issue : ME! Hah. What did you think this bloggie was about anyways?! So to catch everyone up on my life thus far: I am currently awaiting going back to school (big gasp) yes, BYU-I. Don't act so surprised! Sheesh. For now however I'm making the big bucks working for CVS. Actually I don't even start untill Monday and then I will also still be working at my old job for a little bit. Omg - StoryTime!!! Everyone grab their pillows and popcorn. SO, This year I've been watching the most adorable kids for the most adorable couple, (well, the wife is. The significant other is a "BYU" fan. And that should tell you Everything) (p.s. I love you guys), and just this last week I got a call from the temp agency I was signed up with saying they had a job for me until I leave in December. I thought I would be able to work both jobs, but alas, it just wouldn't work. I would get like, no sleep. I Hate (notice the capital) to have to quite b/c well, I Love (notice the capital) that fambam. But they are being so super nice and understanding about everything! Did I mention I love, I mean, Love you guys?! Seriously. So that's where I'm at now. Other than that I spend my free time working out at the gym, scrap booking, practicing my singing and piano so I'm all super ready for BYU-I, and of course, doing fun things with friends and fam.
...And speaking of fun things... (I know, I know, I have a lot to say, but I'm almost done. Oh wait, this is My blog I don't have to stop haha. This new power is invigorating). Tomorrow I'm going with friends to Calaveras Big Trees located in the Sierra Nevada. Supposedly the tallest and "biggest around" redwood trees in the world decided to grow there. And since this is my fun things section, last weekend I went to Pinecrest with the same group of friends and we had what one would call a Pretty Freakin' Great Time! I cliff jumped 5 times, hiked 4 miles, spent time with 3 awesome friends, canoed 2 miles, and found 1 geocache. Sweet. (p.s. Did you like how I did the whole 5-4-3-2-1 thing?! Yeah, I made that up all by myself.) This past whole summer has been sweetness all around. Beaches, Temple trips, Relatives in Capitola, Beach Boardwalk in SC, Canoeing down the Merced River, WICKED - Twice!!, Family Reunion in San Francisco, Magic Mountain.. Lot's of good times. Now I must buckle down and earn that moola!
"There is no comfort in a growing zone and no growing in a comfort zone." Deep. Got that from a friend. How true it is! So let's get out there and water ourselves so we'll grow just like those huge-o-mongous redwoods. <3LB
