Jordan called me on Friday to see if I can start watching his friend's son on Tuesdays and Thursdays. What's one more kid right. He is four and I really hope he will play well with Aaliyah. Themed Thursdays are going to need to more pre-schooly but that's okay. Secretly I've always preferred boys to girls so I am excited.
I've decided that I need to pick up some more zoning clients. Camille has been super fantastic and has been talking me up and she got me 2 more clients. In the past week I have gotten 5 new clients. I haven't even told people that I am starting to zone again which is amazing. I can only imagine what's going to happen once I make the announcement. I have had a lot of people waiting for me to get done with school so I can devote more time to zoning.
I'm supposed to have a meeting with my boss sometime. He always forgets about me though until he is walking out the door and then tells me he will talk to me the following day but never does. When I finally do talk to him I am just going to lay everything on the table. I'm not going to cover for people anymore. I am finally at the point where I am putting my foot down and not letting everyone at work walk all over me. They still have not gotten anyone to help me with my workload. Because of my schedule change I am now supposed to do the workload of 2 full time people in a 4 hour shift. Not to mention that we have been having a lot of problems so my first 45 mins of work is trying to get those taken care of. I just wish people would start taking more initiative at work and that I didn't have to hold their hand every step of the way. It's getting very frustrating.
This past week has been a very very weird week at work. Kody told me that he appreciates me which is something that he never does and I thought for sure he was saying that so he could dump some new project on me. He came back later in the day to tell me again how much he appreciates all that I do. David has been calling me Katie Kat which is odd mainly because he has never called met that before. The only person at work who calls me that is Britt and I don't even get to see her anymore. Also, he sad down next to me and plopped his feet on my desk. It was just weird. EDP had a little breakdown and is now going home close to the time she is supposed to which means I don't have here around very much anymore. I really haven't seen much if Ibrahim and we hired a new callcenter director. She seems nice she hasn't ever talked to me though, but I haven't tried talking to here either. I feel like I have distanced myself from everyone and it makes me sad. Dang my stupid workload.
In good news Jordan gave me Friday off because I needed to go into work by 2 instead of 3:30. The company is actually paying for us to take an hour off and go to lunch. SHOCKER! Since I don't have to watch the girls I am going to see if I can work an 8 hour shift starting at 6. I really hope EDP lets me. If I do get to work it then I will get to see Britt. I really miss talking with her and seeing her every day. I miss most of the day team as well. I don't really miss the drama but I will admit it will be nice to spend the mornings with all my favorite people. Plus, working an 8 hour shift will mean that I get to talk to the people around me. I am usually so bombarded with work when I go in that I don't talk to anyone.
Yesterday I decided that I wanted to go shopping. I needed some new pants and a new skirt. I ended up buying the cutest pair of blue satin pumps. I am so excited. One I got them home I realized that they will match perfectly with my blue sating shirt that I bought last year. Hooray! I also couldn't resist and I bought some teal and black bangle bracelets. I have no idea what has come over me. I never spend my money on things like that. I am having a little bit of buyers remorse for spending my money of frivolous things but at the same time I really really like my purchases.
On Thursday crazy Aunt Diane drove by my work. This is the third time in 2 weeks that I have seen here. This time though she intentionally drove by my work. Now I have to check my car every time I go out to make sure there is no damage to it.
They pushed my grandma's court date back again. This time the trial is set for the beginning of January. The judge said this was the last time Diane could cause the trial to be postponed but deep down I am sure she will come up with some other way to get out of going to it. It's almost been 2 years since we started all of this and I just want it to be over with.
I talked to my grandma yesterday and she said that once she gets her house back Camille and I can rent it. She is just worried about what Diane will do once she finds out. I say who cares, if she tried anything I will just call the police and if she tries to start fights then I will be more than happy to unleash all the anger and frustration that I have towards her. My grandma even offered to let Camille and I buy the house but there is now way we can afford what she should ask for it. Maybe we can work out a rent to own option or something.
When we do move into the house I could walk to my job at the college. Plus, it is right down the street from the office Camille's friend said she could use. That house really is in the ideal location. My only concern is driving on that steep hill in the winter. I am sure they salt it very well though.
Today I went to Josh's homecoming. He has changed a lot since I last saw him. It was nice to see how much he has grown over the years. I also got to see some friends that I have not seen in years as well. A couple families from the old neighborhood came to the homecoming and it was great seeing them and playing catch up.
Well I think that about sums up my week.
Hey Everyone!
Today as I let myself into my brothers house there;s both girls wide awake sitting on the lounge chair watching tv and waiting for me to get there. This is the first time they have both been up when I get there. Usually they wake up about 30 minutes after.
I found Jordan in the basement and he proceeded to tell me that the girls had been up since 4:30 when the heater made an extremely loud banging noise which woke everyone up. Prognosis of the heater...its dead. So we get to sit in a chilly house today. It's actually not to bad right now. Jordan suggested I take the girls to my moms house but my step-dad is home sick and that won't fly. Maybe if it gets too cold I will take them over to see great grandma.
I was watching Lazytown this morning and decided to look up the main character. He looked a little bit like Steve from Blue's Clues. Completely different guy but I found out he is 44. He does not look like he would be 44 if I had to guess I would have said mid 30's at the oldest.
Well Aaliyah just got up from her mini nap and its time to get breakfast going. I will write more when I get the chance.

I am doing much better this morning. Not nearly as sad or depressed about not getting the house as I was last night. Things will work out and I know the Lord has a plan for me I just have to wait and see what it is.
I'm suffering from insomnia again. I think its stress related because I have so much to do this next week. In good news, I just about got all my homework finished this morning. Go me!
I've decided that I need to start taking a camera to work so I can take pictures of all the weird things I see there. For example, on Wednesday I saw a bride walking into Smith's. She had her dress on, way to big for her might I add, and was also with a groom who was wearing jeans and a button up shirt. They were getting ready to do some shopping for their reception that night. Who does that???
Yesterday there was a homeless guy camping out at the insurance place across the parking lot. He was just chilling for about half the day sitting out where everyone could see him. I think he was hoping to get picked up so he would have a warm place to sleep and some free food. Most people didn't even notice him though.
As I was driving out of the parking lot after work I saw a BMW, or maybe it was a Mercedes I don't know for sure, it had tree limbs coming out of the trunk. I guess the owner decided to cut down a tree and then store the cut limbs in his car until he could get rid of them. It looked like the tree was growing out of this guys trunk. I really wish I had my camera.
Anyway, I think maybe this weekend I will buy a little camera that I can just throw in my purse or pocket so I can take pics and start blogging about all the randomness I see every day.

So Camille and I have been looking for a house for how long now let me think....about 8 months. We finally found one that we both loves which is a feat in and of itself. It was a super fantastic deal so we decided to put on offer on it. There were probably about 10 offers on the house we found out and they sold the house to someone who paid about 20 grand more than what was being offered. Needless to say I am really bummed. I loved that house and I was starting to feel like everything was finally falling into place. It is so frustrating to get your hopes up and then find out you don't get the house. I am tired of looking at houses and I just want to give up. Now that the government is bailing out all the financial institutions it is better for them to hold on to their bank owned homes and let the government pay them for them instead of selling them to regular people.
I foresee this bill they passed to cause a lot of problems down the road. I'm beginning to think I am just not meant to get a house.
In good news I finish school next week, I cut my hours back at work, have a month off of work, and am going to start watching my nieces in the mornings. Now if I could only find a house life would be perfect.

So much has been going on that I don’t know where to begin.
We have finally started hitting our slow time at work. The leads have started slowing down and yet I still don’t have any down time. I have so many little projects to take care of before things pick up again. I’m still back on forth on whether I should stay here when I am done with school. I think I am ready for a change but at the same time with the way the economy is the smart choice would be to stay here where I have some stability.
I’ve decided to take 3 classes this module since two of them are simple. Why they are making me take a class for people just starting college is beyond me. I kept telling them that I am almost done but they say it s a required class so I guess I will just go along with it. Our assignment this week is to spell check a paper and then to write about our favorite vacation. Sounds hard doesn’t it. I also am taking a critical thinking class and then my general accounting class.
I
found out that if I can get all the classes that I need to (there is one that they are not sure when it is going to be offered) I will be done with school 3 days before my birthday. Woohoo. That would be the best birthday present ever.
I kept saying when I graduate I was going to restore a car. However, the cars I want to restore are a little on the pricey side. I haven’t looked a whole lot into it though. Maybe I will be able to find a really good deal on one.
Camille and I have decided to put aside the café for now since the economy is going to pot. We are going to see about opening it next year if the economy is doing better. We are however going to start working on sandboards. We were telling my dad about it and he was all gun ho to help up out. Very odd for him because he is usually so pessimistic about all of our ventures. We are planning on starting really small and he wants us to start bigger than we are planning on which is really weird. I think we were both pretty stunned when he was taking out ideas and expanding on them. This will probably be a good bonding experience for us all.
Camille was telling me about this African ritual to get a man. It sounds quite interesting and the lady at her work who gave it to her said it has a 100% success rate. I thought about doing it. In fact, I have the paper sitting on my desk. I’ve decided though that I don’t want to find my soul mate right now. Maybe I am scared but for right now I think there are other things that I want to focus on. There are dreams and ambitions that I want to do before I settle down. Maybe I will do it when I get done with school and I actually have time to devote to finding Mr. Right. I know I know procrastination is a tool of the devil. :o)
Oh Wait I have hard things (first times) to report on:
1) Ate shrimp for the first time…not a fan of the texture and I am still supporting my theory that things that started out grey should not be eaten.
2) Actually got some money back.
3) Went to several functions with my single’s ward
4) My first niece was born!
There were more but I can’t remember what they were.
Well I finally did it....I cut my hair! It is the shortest I have ever had it and I can't really even put it in a ponytail. I also got it dyed for the first time. I know I am really behind in the times. I actually didn't get the whole think dyed my stylist just put in red and blonde streaks. I can't really see them but I am told it looks really good from the back LOL.
Cutting that much of my hair was as traumatic as everyone thought it would be. In fact, so far I have not missed it at all. Though it does get a little chilly on my neck when the breeze blows. For the most part everyone who has seen it loves it.
The exclamations of shock and delight were quite evident at work the day following the big snip. Several of the girls still tell me how hot I look LOL. I think I still look like me though.
I've been having a really good week and I think I am starting to become more like my old self. I was able to get some things off my chest a couple of weeks ago and I've been trying really hard to not let other people's reactions effect me as much. Seems to be going well. It gets a little hard at times but for the most part I feel like I am happier.
It's funny how a new hair-do can also trigger a new attitude. I wanted this year to be the year I transformed into the person that I want to be and so far things have been going pretty well. I have no room for complaints.
Now I just need to decide what I want to do with my life. I have so many options and possibilities that it is hard to settle just on one. I complain to Camille about how wishy-washy she is but at the same time I am the same way. Do I buy a house or gets some businesses started. Do I stay in the valley or make the big move down south. I guess only time will tell. Until then I will just enjoy the ride.

I actually have a ton to write about but don't have time at the moment. I'm just wanted to vent for just a second at how stupid I am.
I finally talked Nick into showing me how to invest money. He's been waiting for me to come over with my money so we can set up the account. I wanted to purchase shares in Google. Well had I done it when I originally had planned I would have made an 800% increase on my investment. Meaning my measly investment would have turned out to be roughly 4 grand. OUCH!!! I am really kicking myself for procrastinating. That would have paid of the rest of my debt.
Also, things to look forward to reading about....
The Festival of Colors, boy and work drama, Vegas, proposals, businesses, school, more funerals, grandma updates and life in general. TTFN

Camille and I found the house that we want. The only problem is that the owner cannot afford to pay closing costs so Camille and I need to come up with an additional $8000. How in the world am I supposed to come up with that kind of cash in about a month. There is no way I will prostitute myself though for some odd reason it did cross my mind. LOL, I consider all my option here people but that does not mean I am going to do it.
My friend at work and I got on the topic of women selling their eggs. I had never heard of it before and this morning I looked into it a little bit. Okay to be honest I am supposed to be doing my finance homework and instead am doing a fantastic job of procrastinating. Anywho, did you know that a woman can get up to $3000 for one cycle of eggs. What the crap! If I went twice that would just about cover the amount I need. Will I consider doing it…maybe for about a day.
In all reality I am wracking my brain trying to figure out how to come up with the money. If people would just pay me back the money they own me I would have all of it. The odds of ever seeing a dime of what they owe me though is slim to none.
I could always beg my grandma for money but I know things are tight for her right now. If we could just get things settled with Diane then my grandma would have the funds to help out. Camille and I also want to try and get my grandma to move in with us. The house we want would be perfect for her and she would be closer to her friends, family and doctors. Then again I guess anything would be closer than the three hours she currently drives.
I could sell off all my stuff but that would probably only bring in about 2 grand. Actually I could probably sell off some of the rare books that I got from my Grandma Miller and get quite a bit of money. I don’t really want to do that though. Hmmm I guess I am just going to have to pray for a pay raise and for new consistent clients for zoning. It’s so frustrating to be so close and yet so far. This house is perfect and I love it so much. I know I know we are not supposed to get attached to material things but this house is in the perfect location, it is the right size, the landscaping is all done and perfect for outdoor picnics/BBQ’s, and I would have the most amazing garden.

Life has been crazy busy the past week or so. Camille and I have been spending most of our free time looking at houses. I got sick this past Friday and I still have the hacking cough. I get home from work and am beat and the only thing I want to do is sleep.
Camille has suddenly become gung-ho about getting her business up and running. She wants to work on business plans when I get home but all I want to do is fall into bed. I think she is getting frustrated with me. I can’t help it though I am sick.
I guess we aren’t getting a house anymore and instead are just going to get Camille’s business started. She says maybe next year we will get a house. Who knows.
She has a really good idea for a business and I am sure it will do well. I want to help her in anyway I can but I really have no intentions of sticking around long enough to work at the store.
I have more or less decided that I am moving down to Richfield. I HAVE to take my first accounting class at the campus and that should be done by the middle of June. Once that is done I am hoping to be able to take the rest of the classes online and therefore will be able to move. I am sure I can swing something with work to be able to work from home. That way I will have a job, since jobs are scarce in Richfield, and I can still get my free tuition. The biggest downside will be that I will more than likely have to go back on the phones. If I go back on the phones I will probably cut my hours back because I don’t think I can do that full time. That’s okay though because it will give me more time to work on my book and getting my other business up and going.
I’m a little bit frustrated with myself at the moment. Remember the story of the genie and the lamp and how when people would ask for something they didn’t think it all the way through and their granted wish was not what they had hoped for. Well I feel like I am in that boat right now. Back when I was so depressed that all I did was cry and I prayed and prayed to have my feelings and emotions turned off. Well it worked, the only problem is that I still don’t really feel anything. How many people have died this year and how many funerals have I attended and I think I may have cried once.
I didn’t even notice my lack of feeling until recently. I can’t zone if I can’t feel. Now that I’ve started going to see Geri again and have started to try and zone again I am realizing that my gift is gone. Ugh, so frustrating. It was really hard to turn of the emotions and feelings and I am finding that it is even harder to turn them back on.
Moving on to a different tangent. Amanda and I talked this morning and we are both going to try really hard not to bad mouth some of the “special” people that we work with. I think it will help with our moods and attitudes.
Also, they upped the price of tuition for my NLP seminar so I am not going to be taking that anytime soon. They raised the price about $500 in a one month period of time. That is crazy.
I guess it’s for the best though because now I will be home for Father’s Day and for the birth of Jordan and Jamie’s baby. I really wanted to be here for that and I was a little bummed that I was going to miss it. Eh the raised price was probably just the Lord’s way of telling me it wasn’t time.

I woke up bright and early this morning and took Nick out for breakfast since it is his birthday. We went to Denny’s hid favorite place. While we were there we got on the subject if iPods and he told me that that was my Christmas present that he had gotten me but then taken back. OH MAN! That’s okay though because he got one of the new ones that plays videos and everything else on it. I just want one of the baby ones so I can use it when I exercise.
Jen is taking Nick out to Wendover for his birthday and Nick promises that if he wins 3 grand he will buy me an iPod. I will be really shocked if he wins that much money. He’s good enough to win it but it also depends on how well the other people he plays against play.
We went out to dinner with Hil and Jeff tonight since it was Hil’s birthday this week. We went out to Tempanyaki in Layton for dinner. It ended up being across the street from the neighborhood where Brady’s mom lives. I thought about stopping by to say hi but decided against it since I had the rest of my family in the car with me.
Dinner was pretty good. Our cook looked like an Asian version of Jake (don’t ask). He was trying to throw the shrimp to people and his aim was off. He smacked Brittney right in the forehead with her shrimp.

I brought my rice crispy bears in for everyone today. Hooray! They were so good and everyone loved them.
I went to see Geri today. She didn’t charge me for the zone and she didn’t have me zone her either because as usual I am messed up. I knew I would be because it had been so long since I had seen her. She didn’t even bother telling me what was going on because everywhere she touched hurt. The only thing she told me is that I have a lot of hurt that is turning into anger and sadness over something that I am not able to say to someone. I think it is work related but I can’t quite pinpoint if that is really it or not.
I’m going to go see her again on Tuesday. Since she zoned me for free this time I am going to zone her and her daughter Stacey on Tuesday so we are even.
My family and I were supposed to go out to eat tonight so I rushed home from Geri’s only to find out that Lee had just picked some stuff up. Oh well. It was nice just to kick back and veg out. I took a really long hot bubble bath after I got done eating and then watched some movies

I ended up crashing at Nick’s house because the roads were so bad. I didn’t want to drive all the way out to my house and then have to drive the nasty roads again in the morning. A lot of schools are having late start days today. The drive in to work was bad and there was about a foot of snow on my car when we pulled up to it.
Since I didn’t go home I didn’t get to bring my Valentine treats for everyone. That’s a little sad but I will just bring them in tomorrow.
Today was just a regular day at work. Nothing new or exciting. Oh Korby got some flowers sent to her but she was not here today. We just all stared at them and wished they were for us.
When I got home our entire counter was full of candy. All the candy my mom’s school kids had given her plus the candy and treats that everyone in the family made and gave to each other.
Camille turned all domestic and made some incredible peanut butter hearts. I thought she had just bought them and then frosted our names and designs on them. She assured us that she made them and even showed us the pans that she used. LOL.
I made dinner for my family. Chicken pillows and broccoli salad…mmmm. I was halfway done making it when Darin texted me and wanted me to come down and hang out with him. At first I said no but I am such a push over that I finally consented. I’ve been trying to avoid him since he said he is going on a mission and doesn’t want me to be a distraction. Anyway, I was getting ready to go and he sends me a text telling me he doesn’t want me to come down anymore. So frustrating. I wish people would just make up their minds.

Today was jasmine’s last day of work. Kody let us girls on the support staff take her out to lunch. We went to the Macaroni Grill. I seem to always get the bad waitresses LOL. We had to wait 15 minutes just for the girl to bring back our change. I won’t get into all the other problems we had with her. It was nice though to just get away from work and kick back and mingle. We got to know Amanda a little bit better and I think it will be a good transition from Jasmine to Amanda. I felt bad because Nick (co-worker) did not get to come and participate in the farewells but he had school and wasn’t going to be in until 2:30 and that’s a little late for lunch.
It snowed a ton tonight. It started around 3:00. My mom called around 4 and told me if I was going to come home I had better leave right then because it was white out conditions at our house. I opted to call Nick (friend) and have him pick me up and hang out at his house until things died down. It took him over an hour to make the normally 20 minute drive. Traffic was really really bad and I am really glad that I decided not to drive. By the time he got me at 6:30 it was still snowing and there was about 6 inches stuck to the roads. Good thing he lives right by work and we didn’t have to drive very far to get to his house.

I met up with Jill after work and we hung out at Borders. I am always amazed at the books that get published. Some of the titles are hilarious and we spent quite a bit of time looking at all the random self help books. The relationship books were great too. I have to say that my favorite title though was, “Does this clutter make me look fat?”
Tonight I was very domestic and I made rice crispy treats in the shape of little bears. I even used little chocolate chips and M&M mini’s for the eyes and little buttons. They are so cute. As you can clearly tell.
Jasmine’s last day is tomorrow. I’m really going to miss here. Part of the reason why I made the treats so early was so that she could have one.

This weekend was an interesting one to say the least. On Friday night I just hung out with the family. I zoned me mom and Camille and we watched the Game Plan. I was really looking forward to seeing that movie and to be honest I was a tad disappointed. Then again that shouldn’t surprise anyone; I rarely find movies that I really like.
Saturday I went to yet another funeral. I wasn’t originally planning on going to this funeral but my mom was going to go alone and I don’t think anyone should attend funerals alone so I went with her.
The funeral was held up on the east side and the church parking lot only had maybe 20 parking stalls. I guess most people who attend that church are required to walk.
I had a list of things I needed to get done on Saturday but by the time we got home from the funeral I was just not in the mood to do any of them. I really don’t need to go shopping for new clothes anyway. Okay I do need new skirts because I am filling out a little. Get new skirts or start exercising…tough call.
I was supposed to hang out with a couple of co-workers but things fell through at the last minute. That’s okay though because I ran a couple errands with Britt and then we went to Sonic for onion rings and cream slushies. It has been a long time since we had gone to sonic. It reminded me of the good old days when Britt and karli would sluff school or come over at night and bring Sonic. Such good memories. I almost took a picture of all the food and sent it to Karli.
Britt was supposed to watch Aaliyah but I ended up playing with her for a good portion of the night. Not that I minded at all. Mostly we just looked at the bird and then she played on the computer. Well she played with the keyboard we didn’t actually turn the computer on. Britt came in handy when it came to changing diapers and putting Aaliyah to bed. :o)
Jordan brought pictures of the ultrasound. They had one 3-D shot and it was freaky looking. They also had one that was of the baby’s head and it looked like a little alien. There was one shot where the doctor had written girl on it but no matter how hard we looked we could not determine how they decided it was a girl. I think Jordan is secretly holding out that he will end up with a boy. I know I am secretly hoping that is what they have.
I went to my new singles ward on Sunday. Hooray. It was a little better this time. The bishop actually talked to us and welcomed us to the ward. There were a couple of girls that were helpful and directed Camille and I where to go so that was nice.
Why is it that when boys don’t get what they want they through the I love you or I think I love you into the mix in hopes you will change your mind? It gets so frustrating. I’ve decided that for lent, yes I know I am announcing this a week late, I am giving up guys. With the exception of Nick because I need to have one friend, plus, its his birthday and he has been a little down in the dumps and I can’t just walk away and have him deal with life himself.
Oh and I am putting off purchasing a camera until I can find someone who will let me play with it. I have gone to the stores but the cameras don’t have batteries in them so I can’t really see if they have the shutter time that I want. Reading the descriptions doesn’t really mean anything to me.

Tonight we went to see 27 Dresses for FHE. It was an interesting show. For me the best part was when they were drunk at the bar singing and dancing. Mostly because it reminded me of myself and my friends when we get together and start singing along with the radio. Everyone has their own version of the words and it is hilarious to hear what people interpret the words to be.
Yesterday I left work on time. The first time in I don’t know how long. We are finally caught up at work and a huge burden has been lifted. I cannot sing enough praises of my new co-worker Nick.
Last night I went over to Nick’s (my friend not my co-worker) after work to watch a couple of episodes of House. Usually I am the one that falls asleep when we are watching TV but this time it was Nick.
I forget how fast time flies when he and I start talking. It was nice to get back into our old groove and just hang out and talk. I’ve missed having someone to talk too.
Also, last night I found out that I am going to be getting a niece. I’m a little bummed because I really really wanted a nephew but hey I am happy to get what I get. I can’t wait until they have the baby and I hope we get to watch it all the time.
I really wish I had the ability to draw. I woke up this morning with another fantastic idea for a painting. I had the perfect title for it too but unfortunately I have forgotten said title. LOL. That’s what happened when we become fully awake and focus on other things. I do remember the painting though and am trying to get my friend to draw it for me. I’m still trying to get him to draw a couple other ones for me as well. We will see what happens.
Camille is gun ho on us getting the healing center up and running ASAP. We are going down to Cali in June to get a couple additional certifications and once we get those then I will consider opening the center. She has talked to a few people and they all think it is a good idea. She has started researching the area and found that there are only 2 centers in Salt Lake and neither of them offer what we are going to offer. We need to do some more research though because I know there are more than 2 places out there. This weekend we are going to start our business plan so we can get the ball rolling on locating investors.
Camille has been selling my services more than I have and in the past month or two she has gotten me 4 new clients and a bunch of people thinking about getting zoned. I don’t know how that girl manages to talk me up that much.
I think I found the camera I want. Now I just need to go play with it at one of the stores to make sure before I buy it. I just hope its worth the money I am going to be spending on it. As long as it has a decent shuttertime I will be a happy camper.
Oh and I got a fortune cookie on Tuesday and this is what it said, “There is excitement to be found wherever you go.” I think this is going to be my mantra for the week.

Hard Things:
~Went and took care of my ticket. Ended up only having to pay $30.00. YES!
~ Practiced donuts in a parking lot. (I don’t like not being in control of my car)
~ Drove to work in lots of snow multiple times.
~Two funerals in a week. (not including Pres Hinckley’s)
~Found a new dentist
I went to the dentist yesterday. He seemed really nice, didn’t really tell me what was going on though and when I got back to work I realized I had a million questions. I have two cracked fillings from my original dentist. He liked to get as much money as possible and drilled out the majority of your tooth in hopes that it would break and you would need a crown. Well now I need 3 crowns but I am having my new dentist do the work. The one tooth that is cracked I’ve been having some problems with but Dr Cottrell didn’t schedule me to come in for 6 weeks. He told me to try and tough it out until then. If I can’t tough it out then I can come in but I will have to pay for the crown up front and then have my insurance company reimburse me. With all of my previous dentists I have gotten back in for work within 2 weeks. This is a new development but I guess as long as I can handle the discomfort I will go with it.
The majority of my pain is coming from that tooth I had surgery on 4 years ago. I had the dentist take additional x-rays of it and he informed me I was not kidding when I told him my tooth was pressurized and felt like it was going to explode. Basically he said it was an atomic bomb and there is no way he is going anywhere near it. He was in the middle of cleaning my teeth when he said it so I didn’t get a chance for him to tell me exactly what was going on and what he thought I should do about it.
In fact, he didn’t tell me anything else about my x-rays. Does that mean I don’t have any cavities? I guess I will call and talk to him about it or maybe just wait until I go in to get my tooth fixed.
Good news is my tooth tells me when the weather is changing. I should start paying more attention to it and what weather is associated with which amount of pressure that way I can forecast the weather. That could really come in handy you know. Sweet I have a new super power.
My massive amounts of OT are gradually coming to an end. Now I can start taking more classes and getting stuff caught up that I have been slacking on. I’ve decided to take The Hinckley Challenge and am going to attempt to read the BOM in 97 days. So far I am only on page 7 good thing Sunday’s are my reading days.

So a bunch of people at work said they would all chip in to pay for a tattoo if I got Made in Japan done. Pretty much they would pay for the entire thing with a little bit left over. Hmmmm decisions decisions. Any suggestions on what I should do?
I have changed my theme for this year. I’ve decided to adopt Kristy’s theme from last year, “I Can Do Hard Things…” Since that saying has popped into my head at least a couple of times a day since the beginning of the new year I guess God is trying to drop a hint. So at the beginning of each blog I will write about something hard that I did.
So much has happened in the past two weeks and I just do not know where to begin.
Last week jasmine’s house caught on fire and she missed three days. I was trying to keep her job caught up as well as the important aspects of mine. I ended up working about 13 hours a day. I also had finals last week and I did not even get started on them until Saturday morning and they were due Saturday night.
On Thursday I believe it was, of last week, my dad called and told us that Diane had decided to plea bargain and she is giving my grandma back her house and paying back some of the money that she stole from my grandma. In addition, our entire family was granted the restraining order against Diane so she is no longer allowed to make any contact with us. Such a relief and I now feel like I don’t have to be as guarded as I have been.
Last Friday on my way into work I got pulled over for having my headlight out. The cop was nice but also kind of a jerk. Instead of just giving me a warning he gave me a fix it ticket. Okay I could deal with that I just needed to find time to go in and have someone sign off on the fact that the headlight got fixed and I wouldn’t have to actually pay the ticket. Well after the cop sat in his car for 15 minutes he finally came back out and also informed me that my driver’s license had expired and he ticketed me for that as well. I had no idea my license had expired and I started to cry because it had already been an overly stressful week. That ticket is going to cost me about $200. Money that I was saving for other things.
When I got to work I was still a little upset and one of the managers here told me he would show me how to fix the headlight if I bought a new one on my break. I had Jordan go pick me one up. We could not get the headlight to work and we thought they had given us the wrong one. I did learn how to change a headlight though and I also learned where the fuse box for my car is and how to check the fuses. That is going to come in handy I can just feel it. Anyway found out on Monday when I took the headlight back that it was the correct headlight and that we were trying to change the bulb for the brights not the regular light. Oops. I still have not told the manager that yet. I did tell some of my friends at work though and they got a good laugh out of that.
Jordan also informed me that I am going to be an aunt. Super excited about that but was terrified for when he had to tell my mom. I had to force him to tell her on Sunday and he wouldn’t even come to the house he just told her over the phone. The only reason why he told her was because she was planning a trip the same week that the baby is due. We don’t know yet what they are having but it will be nice to finally have a little one running around.
I went to the Singles Ward with Camille on Sunday. It wasn’t too bad. Of course it is not the ward we are supposed to be in. We are going to continue attending that ward for a couple weeks though until Camille can get Sunday’s off. She has to wait until they finish training new people. I also went to the home ward so that means I had 6 hours of church on Sunday.
This week I’ve been working late again trying to get all my reports and what not caught up. I found out on Wednesday that I was getting a bonus. That will be really nice and help pay for that stupid ticket.
Yesterday I got up bright and early and made it to the driver’s license place around 7. There was still quite a long line but I was able to get my license renewed and made it to work only 1 minute late. There was a cute guy sitting behind me and I should have started talking to him. That’s a little too hard for me right now though. There was also a lot of high school students there getting their drivers license. I guess parents wanted to take them to get it before school or something. I lucked out and got the fast guy and once my number got called I was only in there for 5 minutes. What a blessing!
Last night I went out with Kristy and Rachel. The first time in about a month that I have actually hung out with anyone besides my family. It was nice just to relax and chit chat. We ate at Red Lobster, I am not a fan of seafood so I got the only thing I knew I would eat...clam chowder. It wasn’t that great LOL.
Afterwards we went to Kristy’s house and watched Rigaletto. I zoned Kristy for the first part of the movie and then we cuddled for the second half. We both love to talk during the movie and add our own thoughts about what is going on and what people are thinking. We were also trying to keep tabs on how many life lessons the movie tries to teach. I think we made it up to 9 or 11 I forget.
At the beginning of the movie we looked over at Rachel and she was trying to take a picture of herself with her camera phone. She was sitting there with her mouth open, I guess she was trying to look like she was singing. Then she stopped the movie and went over and took a picture of herself standing next to the TV screen. Don’t really know what was going on there. Sometimes Rach is very random.
I just got word that Jasmine it quitting. My friend at worked asked for her job but they want to keep her on the phones so they are going to hire someone from outside the company. That really stinks. I hope they find someone fast because I do not have time to train a new person on jasmine’s job. My new person starts next week and he will be working evenings so I get to stay late next week as well to train him. I’ve also been told that we are hiring another new person to run our databases and I am supposed to find time to meet with him and go over the reports that I currently do but are supposed to be turning over to him. Those would be the reports that I am 2 weeks behind on. Oops.
Lots of hard things in this one. The one that comes to mind right now, though I haven’t blogged about it, is that one of the guys I used to date wanted to start dating again. I told him no. Saying no has gotten a lot better. I’m finally strong enough to go after what I want and to say no when I don’t want to be with someone. In the past I just go along with whatever because I didn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings.

Jordan also informed me that I am going to be an aunt. Super excited about that but was terrified for when he had to tell my mom. I had to force him to tell her on Sunday and he wouldn’t even come to the house he just told her over the phone. The only reason why he told her was because she was planning a trip the same week that the baby is due. We don’t know yet what they are having but it will be nice to finally have a little one running around.
I went to the Singles Ward with Camille on Sunday. It wasn’t too bad. Of course it is not the ward we are supposed to be in. We are going to continue attending that ward for a couple weeks though until Camille can get Sunday’s off. She has to wait until they finish training new people. I also went to the home ward so that means I had 6 hours of church on Sunday.
This week I’ve been working late again trying to get all my reports and what not caught up. I found out on Wednesday that I was getting a bonus. That will be really nice and help pay for that stupid ticket.
Yesterday I got up bright and early and made it to the driver’s license place around 7. There was still quite a long line but I was able to get my license renewed and made it to work only 1 minute late. There was a cute guy sitting behind me and I should have started talking to him. That’s a little too hard for me right now though. There was also a lot of high school students there getting their drivers license. I guess parents wanted to take them to get it before school or something. I lucked out and got the fast guy and once my number got called I was only in there for 5 minutes. What a blessing!
Last night I went out with Kristy and Rachel. The first time in about a month that I have actually hung out with anyone besides my family. It was nice just to relax and chit chat. We ate at Red Lobster, I am not a fan of seafood so I got the only thing I knew I would eat...clam chowder. It wasn’t that great LOL.
Afterwards we went to Kristy’s house and watched Rigaletto. I zoned Kristy for the first part of the movie and then we cuddled for the second half. We both love to talk during the movie and add our own thoughts about what is going on and what people are thinking. We were also trying to keep tabs on how many life lessons the movie tries to teach. I think we made it up to 9 or 11 I forget.
At the beginning of the movie we looked over at Rachel and she was trying to take a picture of herself with her camera phone. She was sitting there with her mouth open, I guess she was trying to look like she was singing. Then she stopped the movie and went over and took a picture of herself standing next to the TV screen. Don’t really know what was going on there. Sometimes Rach is very random.
I just got word that Jasmine it quitting. My friend at worked asked for her job but they want to keep her on the phones so they are going to hire someone from outside the company. That really stinks. I hope they find someone fast because I do not have time to train a new person on jasmine’s job. My new person starts next week and he will be working evenings so I get to stay late next week as well to train him. I’ve also been told that we are hiring another new person to run our databases and I am supposed to find time to meet with him and go over the reports that I currently do but are supposed to be turning over to him. Those would be the reports that I am 2 weeks behind on. Oops.
Lots of hard things in this one. The one that comes to mind right now, though I haven’t blogged about it, is that one of the guys I used to date wanted to start dating again. I told him no. Saying no has gotten a lot better. I’m finally strong enough to go after what I want and to say no when I don’t want to be with someone. In the past I just go along with whatever because I didn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings.
