OH MY!!!

My car didn't get sold! It is back online! I am so stinkin excited!!!My hair color is also growing back out so I am either going to go lighter or go back to poop brown. Who knows.

Cars

I am really hoping I can go car shopping on Saturday and even better come home with one. I went car shopping a week ago and test drove a Ford Five Hundred. That is a nice little car. But, someone elso bought it. I really do need to drive more cars around so I know exactly what I want. ERG. This is hard. Well, life is okay. I am working six days a week at Arbor Village and 4-5 days a week at a local dentists office cleaning. I am over worked and have a non-stop headache from not enough sleep and too much work. On the good side, I have not had a sleeping pill in a couple of days and I have been sleeping amazingly! WOO HOO!!!

Fitting-In

DAVID IS HOME!

It is so crazy to think it has been two years. It is weird having him home, but it just fits. I love how family is like that.

P.S. Everything is weird to him. Welcome to his state of awkwardness.

TODAY!

David comes in tonight. WOOHOO! I am so excited, unfortunately, instead of waiting til 1:45pm, we mow have to wait until 9:45pm. Either way, I am soooo excited.

Also, yesterday I went a lighter (hair). Kelsey did a wonderful job. No more old people hair- doing ladies for me.

Four odd Days...

I can not believe it. David Comes home in four days. Or three days and some odd hours. My parents have been very emotional these past weeks going over their old journals from their mission. I have been pretty good lately writing in mine and it has been nice going back just a few months and to think reading it years in the future. WOW!

Anyways, I am really excited for David to come home and meet him at the airport with my family. ITS GOING TO BE FUN!

I also got my hair cut. It isn't as "fierce" as it was suppose to be. So, I am going to get it re-cut. But, the lady isn't in until Wednesday so I might have to go somewhere else and just double pay.

This is my update for now so Jen won't complain at me anymore ;) Love you Jen!

E-Cuts

I am absolutley in love with scrapbook.com. Their E-Cuts are so much fun and really make things a little easier/ gives me new ideas. I am at work and really wish I was at home. I am soooo exhausted. Don't know why, but I have definitley been getting more sleep latley. Well, it is my sister's birthday today! Woohoo for sisters! I just love her and don't think she realizes how much I appreciate her and the things she does for me. Having a sister is so great! I definitley didn't think so growing up but now I wouldn't have it anyother way.

P.S. I really hate this snow business. Washington is being so weird latley. It really just needs to make up its mind and I choose SPRING!

Pictures

I thought maybe I would post pictures of my scrapbook pages online, just because, but I can't get good pictures of them. Sure do wish I had a BIG scanner!

I am distraught, our health insurance at work is being switched to Group Health from Regence Blueshield..... Here I come Group Death!

Quotes...

... These are the quotes that apply to my life right now....

"It is only when we silent the blaring sounds of our daily existence that we can finally hear the whispers of truth that life reveals to us, as it stands knocking on the doorsteps of our hearts. --K.T. Jong"

I just need to find a way to silence the blaring sounds....

"The great majority of us are required to live a life of constant duplicity. Your health is bound to be affected if, day after day, you say the opposite of what you feel, if you grovel before what you dislike, and rejoice at what brings you nothing but misfortune. -- Boris Pasternak"

This is so true, unfortunatley. Health is being affected!!!

P.S. How lame is this? We are switching to uniforms at work. Royal Blue Polo Shirts and Khakis.... BARF!!!

Rollercoaster

This is how I feel!

I have always known life is like a rollercoaster. I just didn't realize hoe much of a rollercoaster it is. I don't even know where to start so I am just not going to. Work is starting to be stressful again. March 1st is my last day of MedTeching. I really don't want to caregive anymore but in order to keep my health insurance I have to be a full time employee. I don't want to be without health insurance so what is one to do?

Slightly starving. I had a gross lunch. Fresh Garlic, Tuna, Carrots, and Celery all shredded together on a 100% whole wheat pita.... I hate Tuna plain but we read Tuna is good for weight loss... Kill Me now!

Weight Loss

I am about to lose weight very unhealthily (NEW WORD?). It's funny... you think working around medical people we would do things right but we are doing a weight loss pool that only lasts two weeks... talk about a CRASH DIET. Anyways, I am determined and I WILL do it. It is $5 per person and our administrator is adding $50 is we openly disclose our weights. Money would ne nice.... Wish Me luck! It's weight loss time!

Fire Trucks

The fire alarm went off at work again, Picture perfect drill. I even got told to go to the source with the buddy and see if the fire was there. Guess what... NO FIRE. Obviously because I am on the computer at work right now. This happen a couple weeks ago too except the fire alarm went off for real! One of my residents burned toast REALLY REALLY bad. When we left that room (only there for maybe 1.5 minutes) I stunk of burnt toast. That was an awful day. That day just kept building little fire's in my heart... fires from uncrontrolled circumstances in life. I REALLY HATE GROWING UP!

I had some really deep thoughts the other day and I was going to post them.... guess what, I forgot! Doesn't really suprise me.... Since Valentine's day is coming up, I will give my thoughts of why being single is better than in a relationship... first off:

"A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes." - Hugh Downs

1. You won't be known as so-and-so's boy/girl-friend.
2. Jealousy, an all too typical by-product of couplehood, is such a waste of energy.
3. Enjoying time unattached gives you the power to have high standards.
4. You have nothing to lose!
5. You can have male friends without having to defend yourself and explain that nothing else is going on.
6.You can spend as much time as you want with your family and no guy to say you are.
7. No need to shave your legs.
8. You can wear whatever you want and not worry about having to look cute.
9. Flirt with whoever you want.
10. Chick Flicks galore!
11. Less eporsure to gas, belching and male bodily sounds. I say less because Is till have three brothers around me!
12. Girl Time!
13. Um;imited garlic and onions without worrying about breathmints.
14. No analyzing why he hasn't called.
15. Cause its just better.

Those are just a few..... Valentine's Day is lame.... according to my brother it is a pointless holiday!

I'd totally wear them...

And now that I have my very own insurance card... I can wear them in public and not worry about tripping and falling smack on my face and breaking 100 bones in my body!!!

I did it....

.... I cut my hairs..... Now it is short and my neck is irritated from feeling it... If that makes sense, but I will not post picture until I get the styling down to a "tee". Anyways, I hate sudden deaths and that is all I will say about that. Death is such an odd thing. I am just glad I have a testimony of the Plan of Salvation. I can only imagine if I didn't have a belief in the after-life how I would be feeling with all the deaths I experience in the Assisted Living Facility. Hmm..

Haircuts

I am officially on my way to get my haircut! YEA!!!! I am extremely nervous because I haven't gone short style for a while. It isn't even that short. I am going shopping with Monique tonight and Seeing 27 Dresses. I love window shopping. It makes me happy and I need happiness. I spent last night at Jenn's. Ashlee is getting so big. I love her little smiles and her big personality! That is about all for now. Attached is the picture I am taking to get my hair cut:

Growing Up

So, I am no good at updating my life. I thas been pretty stressful lately. Work has been insane because we have new owners. My whole future was set until the new owners came. It is difficult not know what is to come. They are completley getting rid of Medication Technicians so my job will be non existent soon. It is hard training those taking over your position but this is all apart of life. So, what is new in my life? As of November 28, 2007 I am an aunt to beautiful Ashlee Lynne, I am not going back to Idaho (I will miss the social life and the outdoors but not the state or school!!), I am buying a car in February, Signing up for my own health insurance, signing up for my own car insurance, possibly moving out by April.... It is scary growing up! Real scary!!! So, I will probably update this in about three months!

Picture is of Ashlee at her first Arbor Village visit wearing her super silly and cute hat made by the receptionist where I work!

TGIF

This week brings new meaning to TGIF! Usually I have Fridays off and work Saturday but today I worked and get Saturday and Sunday off. I am sooooo happy about that! It has been a busy week. I have been working the front desk and it has been a full moon so everybody and everything has been going insane. Even the firefighters were grumpy. Anyways. I am glad it is Friday. This weekend I get to paint a room, dye my hairs, go to a babyshower, possibly go to a Halloween Single's Ward dance, and go to the Single's Ward. It will be fun to get my groove thang flirt on! I need some more testosterone in my life. Testosterone outside my family that is. Here is a picture to think about. Its a bear touching my bottom. Hahaha...its a Bare Bottom.

Positivity- Did I make up that word?

My sister seems to think I am not very positive. Hmmm. Well, I have officially mailed out all of her baby shower announcements. It is November 10th from 11am-1pm if you want to come. Just please RSVP so we know we will have enough food. I also looked up about 1 million baby shower games so it will be fun. I am excited for baby Fox to come. REALLY EXCITED. I am working at the front desk at work this week which means most of the time i am bored but I am on MSN Messenger all day long if you want to entertain me. Life is pretty good. I have no real complaints except my hair color but maybe that can be fixed this weekend. I also have never been more proud to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints as I have been this weekend. The Stake put on the play "The Wizard of Oz" and my residents came, some of them, and it was just amazing to hear their comments about the feelings they felt being inside of our church and seeing the pictures of Christ up in the halls. They don't always get to go to churches so it was special for them to be in one. Also our bus driver told his wife to come back and see the play. I ran into her and she was extremely impressed our church was not making people pay to see the play. She was impressed it was about families and communities being together more than receiving money. I am just happy to be a member of such a great church. P.S. I changed my email address...if you want the new one, email me at the school account and I will send you the new one!
