HAPPY DECEMBER!

Sure it's been December for well...a week. But I'm here! I'm hoping to get a few blogs in for this month - because I may not like the cold but I LOVE the Christmas season!
I love hot chocolate, I love fireplaces and most of all I love caroling :)!

Well I'll start with what's been going on in my life and then give a little rant about Christmas (and no the beginning was not even close enough to covering it).
Alrighty! So last I left off was - well you look if you want to know :P
I'm still living here in the big city and I'm still living alone in my sister's place (while she's on vacay) Still talking to that sister (through emails and calls) and another sister (who moved to Baku). Anywho...for the most part life is pretty good! I enjoy the city and I like my job for now. I'm still trying to decide what I should do with my life for forever - but I still have time (I guess). I like my ward (church for those who don't know) and I'm involved with choir and music within that. It's actually been pretty busy lately with choir and being asked to sing for another thing. So I've been practicing and such. But I'm not complaining! I love music and ESPECIALLY Christmas music :)
BUT one bit of eventfulness - however unnecessary it was...A BUS HIT ME! A city bus... ran into my back right corner. It wasn't very bad by any means but it was still a pain! I stopped at a red light and there were apparently going to get behind me - and YES, you can use your imagination. So that was not so pleasant. And I had to make a claim and all that jazz. After the bus hit me - all I could think was really? Again? Is this a sign? Should I not be living here? Should I give up the keys? Throw in the towel? Call it a day? (Yes I'm sure you get the point) But all this was running through my mind and I eventually just said well you know what - it wasn't my fault and things happen. SO MOVING ON WITH LIFE - hopefully there's no more accidents in the near (or distant) future.

OH! AND that night I went home and the fireplace didn't work! And it hasn't worked since then - and it depresses me slightly but what can I do? (Get it fixed?? Meh.)

Alright...well Christmas has always been one of my favorite times of the year. We would always have a huge get-together - the whole fam damily. There would be tons of food - probably slight weight gain, and we would act out the Nativity and well...it was always a disaster.
Sheep would be running free (and Shepherds too likely), Angels missing, Mary falling off the donkey and well - I think you get the drift. But for me - I wouldn't have it any other way! I loved those days and I hold those memories dear. Christmas (and also being away from them more) makes me appreciate my family - especially my parents - so much more. Sometimes I used to think what it would like if I would have been born into a different family, but honestly...now, I can't imagine that at all. I love my family so much and I'm grateful for my parents and the example they are and all they've done for me throughout my life.
But anyways - Christmas is full of delicious bevys, and scrumptious goodies.
And Christmas music - I love it. Enough said.

OH! Another thing - I've also gotten out my guitar! I hadn't played in - pretty much a year! pretty crazy eh? The first day was utterly painful, but I think my finger callouses are coming along pretty good again. :)

I think that's pretty much it....I haven't been home for a few weeks now, can't wait til Christmas! Miss everyone. Haven't been able to go to the gym as much as I used to because I usually work kind of late and don't feel up to it at 7ish. But I still try and go when I can!
Still need to get a few more Christmas gifts and keep practicing - one of my performances is this Sunday! Wish me luck!! :)

Tell me some of your Christmas memories/traditions! (message or comment)

Also! Looking for some questions of any sort - leave me a comment, text me, messsage, facebook... question me!

Hope all is well in your lives :D

BYE FOR MEOW :)!

RANDOM FACT ABOUT ME -- I got W and I some special advent calendars this year (yes, where you eat a chocolate everyday - it's behind a special little window/door and it's awesome~!) - anyways...this awesome advent calendar is KINDER! It has little eggs, and shoko bons and yes just amazing. For Christmas it's a Kinder Surprise! I'm excited (and easily amused yes). But that is beside the point - just thought I'd let you know.

Happy Holidays Everyone~!

The time has come...

...For me to get another post up. So as you know I have moved to the bigger city and am working for my brother. My sister has gone on vacation to Indonesia until the end of the year, so now I'm all on my lonesome at her place. And it's kind of amazing how I crave PEOPLE. Really...it's kind of sad. I hardly know anyone up here, and I haven't made any friends in the new ward(church for those who didn't know). They're all in their groups already so - I'll admit to it...I'm a LONER.
My day goes as follows:
-wake up and do my 30 push ups (no real reason...just cause)
-contacts in, brush teeth, dress self
-drive to the office (which is also a reasonably easy and repetitive job but at least I talk to people on the phone?? *shrugs*)
-work for usually 10+ hours
-homeward bound
-exercise, eat, shower, watch a bit of tv (or something of this sort)
-go to bed, sleep, and start all over again

Thrilling eh? Not really...
But I still love life. (:

It's amazing all the time one has to think when they're on their own....though I don't think about anything productive (fail). I still don't know what to do with my life - it saddens me. Why can't it be all laid out on a platter what I should do with my life?

OH! I don't really want to share this....but what the hey - since moving here I've already gotten in a car accident. Pathetic. I was talking on the phone (can I get arrested for saying this? :X ) and I was lane changing and I don't know if I just didn't see the car or if it came from behind and raced up (but I suppose it doesn't really matter as I am sadly at fault) and my front/side bumper made a small dent in her car and the main thing was my mirror slightly dragged along the side of her car and there's a black mark along almost half her car and...well it's just sad. So I have to pay for the damage (obviously) and well...lets just say it's a surprisingly large amount for what seemingly wasn't a big deal (well it didn't appear to be anyways). So, this kind of depresses me as I have to come up with this money. SO this is where all you loyals show how much you care :D Click here to donate :3 Just kidding...settle yourself :P

Hmm... health and beauty segment.
Water. Drink lots of it. It keeps everything in your body regulated and equalized. It also keeps your skin hydrated and youthful looking, longer. Also it's just tasty (I think so anyways) and it helps remove wastes from your body (yay waste removal!). Also, it can help suppress hunger for a short period of time.

So now I will end for this time.

Ciao for meow :)!

RANDOM FACT ABOUT ME -- Christmas oranges (meaning those chinese ones or whatever) are utterly SCRUMPTIOUS...and I'm quite certain I could eat an unending amount of them. The end (fin)

Here's a song I enjoy for anyone who wants to check it out ... Aimee Mann - Today's The Day. I find it pretty and just relaxing.

Phewf... life is exhausting!

Hey everyone! It has been awhile and I have been meaning to get on here (I swears it to you) I've just been busy busy! Anyways, here I am :)

What's new.... well I'm no longer at Wal Mart and I've now moved! Sunday night was my last day at Wally and I'm not gonna lie, I'll definitely miss some of the people there and HECK I'll even miss the easy repetitiveness of the job. But it's ok, I think it was time to leave that behind (at least for now). SO! I've moved and I'm living with a sister of mine and working for a brother haha. (Oh all my family connections eh?) So I'm working in the office and all is going well so far! It's pretty easy there was just a lot of information for me to learn in a short period of time. BUT ALAS it is all crammed in there (I think?), whether I can recall it or not is a different story however...meh. So I get to sit at a computer with an earpiece to answer phones, do invoicing, play with the work cell (new htc... kind of cool) and schedule appointments. The phones get pretty busy sometimes, but for the most part... it's not too shabby :)

So yes, for those of you who didn't know I had moved...surprise! haha.

AH yes, I was considering doing a Health/Beauty blog..and I'll still do that when I have time :)

To start that off, I'll just say...I'm presently eating french fries - YAY! haha. I do think it's important to eat from all the food groups but I do think it's also important to just relax and enjoy yourself every now and then. If one refrains themselves for too long...it's just unnecessary, then you either begin to crave things or you just have a binge fest all at once. It's better to just let loose every now and then. And honestly a little physical activity every day is not only a) really great for you, but b) not hard to do! Even if it's just a short walk...something is better than nothing. So if you ever think...nah it's not worth it. It is worth it! So defy your brain and just do it! That is my rant of the day. It was very quick and pretty straight forward. BUT MEH! :D

ANYWAYS. Hope all is well and whatnot in your lives.

Byeah for meow :)!

RANDOM FACT ABOUT ME -- Generally I always have nail polish on my toesies...HOWEVER I actually haven't painted my toes since I got back from California. Yep that's how lazy I've been. And now I want to! So I'll probably do it this weekend, I'll let you know if I'm successful or not :) haha. Also, I never paint my finger nails... ever.

Yee-haw

Alrighty, so this past week has been Whoop Up Days...when we get our local fair. And if you're going just for fun (and food) and aren't TOO terribly serious about the rides...then hey, it's a good time :) I went with some of the fam fam on Friday for about 6 hours...it was fun and I'm definitely a fan of the Ring of Fire and the Zipper. I ate some terribly overpriced food which is probably equally terrible for me (ice cream, elephant ears, slushies, so on... AND came home with some scrump-diddly-upmtious fudge). Mmmm Fudge *.* Anyways, I managed to satisfy everyone's "sit by me" and "one more time" requests, so overall it was a fantastic day :)

Which was then ended by going to a dance with W... I hadn't been in FOREVER because I work weekends. We had fun, I remembered how lame they were... but it's ok because we can have a good time regardless! :)

Anyways... I'm not going back to school this semester, And I'm still looking for a second job for the semester (HELP ME PLEASE!). Well I'm not going back because...
1. I still don't know what to do
2. I really couldn't afford it (unless I got a student loan) And I really didn't want to get a student loan when I was still so unsure of what to do.
There's options flying around such as... a degree in Psychology, or Finance, Accounting, or even Physiotherapist. And for all you readers out there... I'm looking for YOUR opinion! I'll take as much help as I can get! Because it's my hope to get back into school for the Winter '11 semester.
As everyone's getting ready and actually GOING back to school now/soon... I'm finding myself jealous and WISHING I were too. *sigh* I'm embarassed, but I crave more learnings!

OH! I've been thinking about starting a Health/Beauty bloggety blog... And I'm curious if any of you would be interested? And do you think I should have a second blog? Or just continue with this one? Input pleeaaassse? :D

Anyways, thanks for reading!

Ta ta for meow :)!

RANDOM FACT ABOUT ME -- I still have my favorite stuffed dog from when I was a wee lass... His name is Rolly and I don't sleep with him but he'll be around for awhile (if not forever). And actually I have a small collection of stuffed dogs so... yep :)

QUESTION NUMERO ONE

Ok, I am most splendidly excited for my first question :) *which was from Leinani...(ps thanks for asking one haha)

Leinani said... Alright missy-face, I've got a question for ya.

Toothpaste: What kind do you use? Do you squeeze from the end or the middle? Do you leave the cap on or off?

Alright, so here goes...
As most of you know (who have been reading my blog) I use a different toothpaste in the morning and at night. At night I use Crest Pro Health and in the morning I use Colgate Visible White (which I'm not sure if my teeth ARE actually more visibly white...but I haven't noticed haha). I only squeeze from the bottom if it's almost out and that's the way it must be done, otherwise I just squeeze from somewhere in the middle. And lastly, I've always been a cap on person. It kind of bugs me when people leave it off... haha.

And for anyone who wants to answer these questions as well... just leave a comment :)

I'm still looking for more questions people, questions about anything :D Pleeeaaassssee? :3

Anywho, bye for meow :)!

RANDOM FACT ABOUT ME -- I love being in bare feet, I would go around without shoes all the time if it were possible :D

OK OK

Alright, well as you may or may not have noticed I did not finish my California stories. And well I've been meaning to get a blog up and I've definitely had times where I COULD do it... but I really haven't felt like doing a big long California trip one again. Soooo... for now I'll skip it. maybe I'll feel like posting it in the future but as for now...no thanks. If anyone has any questions about the trip...ask, and I'll let you know :) I'll just say it was fun, warm and I miss it.

OK, so you're probably thinking I have some awesome topic or something exciting to share... well you're definitely mistaken :D I just felt like posting one. I don't really have anything to say.
Update on my life...I still work 5 nights a week and I'm wanting a full time job on top of that. I've decided I won't be going to school this fall, I may go back in January...but well, I'll have to see. I still need to decide what to do with my life...so difficult. BUT YES, I'm looking for a full time job...any ideas folkies? When I'm not working...I'm exercising or visiting family or hanging out with friends. But, for the most part, life is pretty good right now :)

I've been trying to think of new ideas for blogs...if there's something fast and easy I could do. And well I'm still thinking about it. And I'll continue to think about it and let you know.

Does anybody out there in the blogging world have any questions for me? Seriously... any questions? About anything? Not just about me. COME ON... Ask me a question. Do it.

But yes, it's good to finally get something up.

Ciao for meow (:!

RANDOM FACT ABOUT ME -- If I could eat one last thing before I died... it would be ice cream. Om nom nom.

Oh, Canada

Well, here I am...back in the rain and wind. My being aches to be back in California again though. *sigh* Oh well. Canada is a good place where we only have to worry about 2 colors (red and white). SOOOO I'm not sure if I'll give you a rundown of the whole trip or just a nice tidbit. But I will start by saying it overall was a great trip full of lots of fun times, foolish moments, and of course awesome memories.

We(we being W, her sister(L), her sister's hubby(T), and myself left on Friday June 25th, all not entirely prepared for the 18+ hour venture to Las Vegas. T, being the man he is, seemed to feel like he had to drive the majority of the time...and he did, so good on him I suppose. But at about 2 in the morning when everyone was sleeping, he started to get drowsy and pull off from time to time. At this point I probably had gotten about half hour of sleep and I woke up because it was just much too cramped and hot in the vehicle :l So at about 3 I volunteered my services and I got to drive for a few hours while everyone slept :) YAY! (ps...wasn't tired at all oddly enough). OH! Another thing I could mention is the "mile" guessing game we played. We would look at the green signs that say how many (kilometers here) miles there was to the next place and we would guess what the next number would be and whoever got it...got a point. Sounds slightly sad doesn't it? But hey it made a few hours go by faster :P

Saturday June 26th

At about 8 o'clock we found ourselves mosying into Vegas (finally!) and we decided we should get some breakfast. (At this point we were all quite hungry and slightly cranky from lack of sleep). Soooo, we looked up an IHOP (heck yes it's awesome :D) on the GPS (we called her Grizzly) and set off in search. WELLL apparently Grizzly is stupid and likes to tell us there's IHOP's where there clearly isn't...so, disappointed and growing ever more hungry, we ventured to find our hotel and see when we could check in. At least we found it reasonably easy... it being Fitzgerald's Hotel and Casino. And after a bit more struggles (because we had to call and change the name we had the reservation under -- ridiculous? I know :l) we found out we could check in, in a few hours. So we asked the people there if they knew where the nearest IHOP (we were very set on IHOP at this point if you didn't notice :P) was and we set off...yet again. After about another 45 minutes, we FINALLY found the IHOP and stuffed ourselves good :) ( I had french toast cause it's awesome duh) Then we actually went to 2 Wal Mart's (I don't recall why... ) to pass the time. Then we headed back and finally checked in. OH and may I mention, BOILING slash DEATHLY hot here... aka 40+ degrees C. SO first thing on our list was to hit the pool :D Which was fairly decent :) (aside from the creepy man on the side of the pool who kept staring...) and this is where W first slightly got burnt. And then it was back to the hotel room to get purdied up and explore the strip.

I'll say now we weren't sure where "The Strip" was but neither did anyone we asked.... which seems retarded as they live there -.- jeesh. So we started out by walking. Which we only lasted about 7 blocks (which are much bigger down there by the way) -- before we were all about ready to die. SO we decided to get a slurpee... at which point we also decided that we were not going any further without a vehicle.

SIDE NOTE -- You know the newspaper dispensers we have on some sidewalks? Wellll in Vegas they have about 5 of them every block. BUT instead of newspapers... it's personal ads ._. awful

So we walked back to the hotel, tried to make ourselves look decently NOT disgusting and got the car and drove off in search. We eventually found it many blocks down (aka...would've died if we walked). It was fun to see and definitely had some glitz to it.... but not gonna lie, I was slightly let down. Instead of being about leaving everyone impressed and shows and whatnot... it was mainly about casino's, drinking, and the personal ad's being handed out. But oh well, still glad I got to see it :) There was a huge mall (very spread out...and a lot of it outdoors) called the Miracle Mile (I believe?) which was fairly awesome :o So after a couple of hours of that (and still boiling by the way) we headed back to the hotel and swam again for a bit. Then got ready for bed and watched the good ole telly for a bit and ended up all going to bed around 9. And then (at least W and I) slept straight til 7:30. And neither of us moved the whole night either. So we were very stiff and sore in the morning. But t'was a good sleep.

ANNNNNDDDD this is where I end for now... because apparently I like giving lots of details and have difficulty shutting up. So I shall continue within the next couple of days :)

PS. The blogging world has kind of...died while I was away. Still out there?

Ciao for meow :)!

RANDOM FACT ABOUT ME -- I love beaches and could probably lay in the sand and sun alllll daaaayyyy long :3
