New Years Resolution

I like all people made a resolution and I want to keep with it.

I am going to get in shape and fit.

So I don’t keep getting the awesome pregnancy comments.

I will do this for me, and to help my self esteem.

Last night in ZUMBA we did a fitness test to record what we can do at the

beginning of the semester and then at the end.

We did pushups for one minute and sit ups for one minute.

I could do 17 pushups (girl) and 30 sit-ups.

Then we did the mile.

I did my mile in 11 minutes and like 12 seconds.

 I know I can do better and I will do better.

I am eating better, and exercising more.

It is really hard to get all of this in and work full time (9-6) everyday and then go to class every day after work from 7-10.

No time to exercise, and no time to eat healthy.

That is why I choose to take a class where I did get exercise and I will get my work out and then at home I have a treadmill so the weekends I have that.

Wait for it.

It will happen.

I am pondering of keeping a blog about my journey.

What do you think?

School. Sociology or Psychology

So school started yesterday, its weird being back, I feel like I there wasn't a break between the semesters. Last semester I only took one class English 1010 and of course got an A! Woot!
This semester I have six classes:
Biology 1610 Biology 1615 Psychology 1110 Sociology 1010 Radiology 1010 and Zumba 1035.

So far my Biology class is going to prove to be extremely boring, my teacher looks like he is a heart attack waiting to happen, I feel bad that he has to walk from one side of the room to the other.

Zumba is a great class! If have never taken one do it! But bring a water bottle and don't wear your snow boots.

The rest of the classes I have yet to take two of them are online.

I do need to drop one of the classes, six is way too many. I work from 9-6 everyday and have classes m-th from 7-10. There is not too much time for the two online classes. I can't really bring a textbook to work but one of them everything is found online.

The Question is do I give up Sociology or Psychology?

Twenty-Ten

I just happened to see this on one of my good friend’s blogs and I liked the idea I would like to try it.

Oh Twenty-Ten what can I say to you. You have brought me good times and brought me hard times.

January

I celebrated the New Year in California. I got to go out there for my birthday; I got a new IPod and got to see my favorite NFL team the Chargers play. (Something my dad can’t say he has done.) I came home and celebrated my birthday at the Tav dancing on the piano. I also made a completely random trip to Vegas with my best friends Jenn, Sara, and Sam. Great very, fun, real life, interesting trip. I had received some news that would change my life forever.

February

I was still out of a job. I did get to go visit my students every once in a while when they needed a substitute. It was my anniversary of meeting one of my best friends Jenn. It’s kind of crazy we met and Hoe Bot Robot Party. I love Jenn! I was still struggling living my new life.

March

This month just blew me through the roof. I made the wrong decision and forgot to use my blinker. I got pulled over and yes I got a ticket. Stupid tickets they just make me angry. I also made my way to Park City, and my friend unfortunately got too drunk to drive but I had to be home, problem was one she lost her phone, two her car had to defrost, her car had no window wipers, and the biggest was it was a blizzard, worst drive of my life.

It was my friends Justine’s 21^st birthday; we went and spent it in Boise Idaho with some old friends and her boyfriend. It was one of the greatest trips. Except for the part where it blizzard and we walked home through the blizzard.

A big group of us went to the festival of colors. It was a blast! I will def be goign back this year.

After the colors were thrown

April

My dad turned 51. He is officially and forever my favoritest person on this planet. Sorry everyone else but he is just my hero. My friend Justine found two baby (less than 2 weeks old) kittens and I asked to bring them home. I went and picked them up with my brother and we went and bought them food from Wal-Mart. I stayed up all night with them making sure they stayed warm feeding them, helping them go to the bathroom. We planned on getting them healthy and older then we were going to give them away, but we never did. I named them Jordyn and Bailey.

On April 19^th one of my best friends disappeared. She ran away from home. She hadn’t made the best decisions and had a lot on her plate. She didn’t speak a word to anyone except asking for money. She just disappeared L

May

It was my mothers and brothers birthday. Every year my mom’s side of the family goes down to St. George over Memorial weekend, my mother went and the rest of us stayed home. I got a job I started on May 10^th. It was at Convergys’s doing the U.S. 2010 census. It was a terrible job. They were extremely strict on everything, it was a terrible job. Someone made me cry over the phone, I then started to look for another job.

Still living day to day.

June

I found a new job! I had never even heard about this place until I came in for the interview. Sara had to actually talk me into coming in to the building. I got the second interview the same day I had court. I had my interview then had to run to court. That went pretty well. The day after I got the call and they offered me the job. I went into my Convergys’s job that Saturday and took a couple calls, after that I just logged off and walked out. I started as a receptionist on June 14^th at Overstock.com.

Still living day to day.

July

For the 4^th of July I went on a trip with Andrea and her boyfriend to Idaho Falls. We saw the most spectacular fireworks and had a great time with her boyfriend’s family. We also took a trip to the Idaho Falls Zoo.

August

A dear friend to all died this month. I didn’t have the best of friendship with him but he was just one of those people he always made you feel welcomed. He was one of the nicest and smartest people you could ever meet. I made another trip to Vegas, this time I got my best friend back. Lizzy had been in a relationship with this terrible guy who wouldn’t allow her to see me. It had been a whole year. I got her to commit to Vegas and we went. We got an awesome suite and had a great time. Justine and Ty got “married”. Kristi was turned into me J

October

Made another trip to Boise. This time Justine and I brought Jenn. We had an amazing time even though McGill ran through the house for 3 hours screaming drink your beer. Did I mention it was like 3 in the morning when this started.

Jenn Justine & I

Walking around downtown Boise

Lizzy and I threw a Halloween party on the 23^rd, things got a little out of hand at the end but I kicked it up a notch and broke up a fight and got a cell phone back. We celebrated Halloween at Ty Brown’s our friends from Boise came down to party with us.

November

Thanksgiving is always an interesting time. We used to go up to Idaho Falls every year but now with the economy we stay here and go to my mom’s side. Everyone on that side is quite religious and my family not so much it gets a little bit awkward.

On November 6 we played TCU what a terrible game!

Gettign ready to go watch the game

On November 28, it was the big UTAH VS BYU GAME 17-16!

Rooting for the Utes at Iggy's

December

This year I took Jenn and Lily for their first visit to temple square to see the lights. We took trax it was an interesting experience and very cold. We didn’t stay long but it was a great experience.

Jordyn exploring her first Christmas tree

Jessi made a visit home J we bought her boyfriend the coolest Beer Pong table. I think he really liked it. It was Lizzy’s Birthday and we made it really awesome. I hope she had fun.

Jenn and I went on the funniest date ever. Best thing ever.... Funniest oh my gosh.

Hiding from our dates in the bathroom.

Still living day to day. Realizing it’s something I will have to live with for the rest of my life. I am still having a hard time adjusting to it, but I am doing my best.

I have the bestest friends in the entire world. I can call them and text them and I will just went and they listen they are so good to me and they give me encouraging words.

I can’t wait to see what happens this next year. I hope to be thinner, more confident, and just feel better about myself and not be so stressed all the time.

I do want to say thank you to all the people who walked into my life and made it outstanding and all the people who walked out of my life and made it fantastic! ♥

LeT iT sNoW

Welcome to winter.

Officially winter doesn’t start until like December 22^nd. But like it or not it is here.

So this past weekend we had the Utes vs. TCU.

That game was the worst. I think they let it get to their heads, I am very disappointed.

"You can't sulk, can't pout, can't feel sorry for yourself," Coach Whittingham said.

"We got whipped and we've got to move on."

I still ♥ my Utes.

So I am so excited for CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

I have already done most my shopping, like 95%, two more people to shop for, after that all I need to do is wrap, but they don’t sell wrapping Christmas stuff yet, bummer. BTW what do you get a friend that is in the NAVY?

So Jenn & me have made a bucket list for the rest of the 2010 year, our goal is to finish it by the beginning of 2011.

It does consist of:

Going on a double date, taking a trip to Wendover, go play on bouncy blow up awesome things, spend the day/night in Park City, visit the temple square lights, ice skating and taking a zumba class.

It is going to be a great time.

There are a lot of movies that are out or are coming soon.

Megamind, Due Date, Morning Glory, How Do You Know, Burlesque, Tangled, Love and Other Drugs, Just Go With It, I Love You Phillip Morris if you haven’t seen the trailers or heard anything about any of these movies go watch them!!! NOW!

Also, I forgot to mention the biggest one of all I want to see…

Whoever wants to go see it with me please let me know!!!!!!!!!!

I MUST SEE IT!

Also, I was at work last night and I got a phone call and I was like I don’t know this number, so me and Kevin (a funny man who keeps me sane at work).He typed the number into Google, and he was like “it’s the Salt Lake City Police Department” I of course started freaking out trying to figure out why they want to talk to me or what I did wrong now. So they left me a voicemail and I couldn’t understand who called so Kevin and I sat there forever trying to figure out who called. So I just guessed and called the number back and I told them I called and then they called me back. Apparently they found this man’s wallet or they got it somehow and behind his driver’s license was MY driver’s license. They asked if I wanted it back, the last time I lost my license was four years ago. He has had my driver’s license and has known where I lived for the past 4 years. I have had a stalker for the last 4 years and I never knew about it.

Also props to my high school! Cottonwood is 6-0.

This year we are going to go all the way.

GO COLTS.

It is almost Halloween; you know I thought it was my favorite holiday of the year. But after this past weekend I have found its fun but it’s not as fun as Christmas time. In just one month the radio will start playing Christmas music again. Also, mid-November Glee is releasing a Christmas album. Hurray for glee.

Speaking of glee, it is on tonight. It is the rocky horror glee show! I downloaded the music last night and listened to it on the way to work this morning AMAZING!

So this past weekend Lizzy and I threw a Halloween party.

It went pretty well. Some girls showed up and started to talk some crap, but they left so that was okay. Then there was a fight, but its okay it was the stupid kid that got hit, I did have to go jump in the middle of it so stop it because it was in the house. Then the smartest person took someone’s phone and hid it and tried to steal it and it’s funny because she is a good friend with the person who owned the phone. I went outside and got the phone back because I rock.

Me and Lizzy carved pumpkins Friday night and I carved the one on the right and Lizzy’s is on the left.

Yeah I know I look cool. I am allergic to the stuff in the pumpkin.

I wish people were brighter.

If anyone knows of anywhere that is hiring please let me know. I can’t stand it here much longer.

I have to say that I am grateful for the friends I have in my life.

For my friend Jenn. She keeps my secrets and she is just so lovely. She is the world’s best mom and has the world’s cutest daughter. She also listens to my sstupid rants abotu my brother. Jenn is one of my heroes because of all the things she does in her life. I wish she lived closer than PG. Stupid PG.

McGuire. She is just so full of life. She is carefree and a peace maker. I have known her for a good 5-6 years and don’t regret it at all. I am glad we have permission to be friends again.

Molllll. She is an amazing person. She and I have gone through the same things and she understands me very well. She will always be there to stick up for me and she always has my back. I love her very much.

On another note the UTES are doing fantastic! I am so proud of them! Utah is ranked 8^th in the BCS poll. We play Air Force this Saturday, but next Saturday we play TCU in the blackout game. Stupid TCU. They will be defeated. And we will be undefeated. I am very proud of our football team! GO UTES!

To Be or Not To Be

I can’t believe October is finally here. It is one of my favorite times of the year. It is fun to dress up and go out. I already found a Halloween costume I guess I did buy a new one. I really didn’t want to but I caved into peer pressure. I was going to wear one of my old ones and save the money and thinking about it today I wish I would have. I only spent 35 bucks on it because I got it on sale.

Woot for being on sale!

On Thursday of last week, I donated blood. I have donated plasma before but I never have donated blood. I have heard so many stories of people passing out and stuff so I was pretty much scared. Turns out it was nothing. I did get free food out of it. So I helped save a life J

Also, on Thursday I was up here at the front desk all alone, and this guy came in looking for wine. I told him we sell it online but not out of this building. I mean come on why would we sell wine out of our corporate office? Idiots. Plus we are in Utah they don’t ship alcohol to Utah you have to buy it from a certified state liquor store. I should probably tell you that that day I was wearing a peasant top with an empire waist band so the shirt was a little poufy. He says “I know you’re not supposed to talk to woman about being pregnant until they are crowning but you make a good pregnant woman” I said “huh?” He says “You’re not pregnant?” I told him no and just started laughing. He felt so bad I just started laughing. At first I was offended but then I was like oh well he is old and I don’t really care. But the next day he came in again and he brought me a dozen roses because he felt so bad. I think it is a hint it’s time to start dieting. These are my flowers.

I did go to Boise this weekend with Jenn and Justine. It was fun. On our way up there we listened to oldies from like elementary school to Jr high. It was so much fun.

We made a music video on the way there. We got there and got ready to go out. Went and dropped our stuff off at the house we were staying at. Then all of us went downtown. It was a really fun weekend. Jenn rode the bull at Roddys twice. Took three taxi rides.  There were hickies, vampires, spoons, joose, people passing out in the bathroom when other people need to go potty, halo, do a deer a female deer, kings cup with recycled homemade cards, embaressment galore.

I ate deer meat for the first time. We went to some pizza place and they were playing Journey and we got the whole joint singing along to the song that was fun! Managed to stay out of trouble for a bit then on the ride home, a police man came out of nowhere and surprised me and gave me an awesome speeding ticket. Who knew 7 over would be 85 freaking dollars! Also, still need to solve the mystery of what the devil is red on Jenn.

On a different note, I have decided there needs to be a happy median. I have found I have grown up over the years. I have never goone to school really I Take a night class here and there, never taken any day classes because I have always had other responsibilities. I was forced to grow up, graduating high school and getting sucked into a real job. I first started out as a Para professional in a kindergarten classroom then we couldn’t hang on to the main teacher so I became the teacher for most of the school year, making up lesson plans, dealing with behaviors, getting to hang out with the cutest little kids on the planet every now and then getting kicked in the face or bit was okay. But making them smile and going day by day was such a great time. The next year I was in a second grade classroom and the teacher ended up getting pregnant so she couldn’t do much with the kids, because they might beat her up. Next year I was in first grade half the year and kindergarten the second half. Followed by being the floater going to every grade that needed me. They just built a high school for the kids. First high school for kids with Autism. Did I mention the elementary school is only 1 of 3 that is public in the whole country for kids with autism? They are my favorite.  

I have always had a full time job and bills to pay. I don’t get to go out and party every night, I get to go to work go to school come home do homework go to sleep start all over again. I do feel like I’m missing out on things but I am just over the hard core party scene. But I don’t want to be sitting home alone on a Saturday night. Is there a happy median? Can you accomplish things by doing what you want to do and not following the crowd?

Kiss the day goodbye

So Glee started again on Tuesday. Woot. I am so excited, so far it has been okay i am really excited about the next episode, Britney Spears! I am currently listening the the soundtrack.

I am so bored. This weekend sucks. I wish they were showing the Utah game on TV, but its okay because I jsut checked the score and the Utes are killing them 29-3, the BSU game is a little surprising, they killed Wyoming last week then again it was Wyoming, but still it's 7-10 come on BSU show your #3. But above all GO UTES!

So next week we are going to Boise Jenn, Justine, and I. Lizzy was supposed to go with us but she works too hard for the MAN. I get to go and see my favorite people, they have a great night life, I am sure I have already shared this but it is very true, my friend Amanda just doesn't understand. Ha Ha.

I miss my kiddos alot lately. I hear they are just getting so big and  I miss my friends. My cute class. Check out how adorable they are!

Just another Monday

Well it’s Monday again. I swear they just keep coming and they never get any better. It’s a struggle to wake up each morning, get ready for work etc. Does life ever get exciting?

School started a bit ago and I had signed up for 3 classes, math, English, and political science. Most of you that know me know I am not into politics in the very least. Went to the first day of that class and he did one of those let’s get to know you games. You had to stand up say your name why you are taking the class and something he can remember you by. So I stood up introduced myself, said this class is mandatory in my degree, and I flat out told my teacher I hate politics I do not find them interesting he gave me a crusty and moved on. That is the night I dropped that class. Of course then there was the math class that started at 7 am! The most ridiculous time for math. I made it to three out of eleven classes before I dropped that one. Now I am just left with my English class. Yes, I know I am a slacker. Blah Blah Blah.

Overstock.com. Who knew I would work for a big corporate company. If you haven't checked out our website go do it. We have great stuff at half the price. The only downfall to this place is my job is so boring. I seriously sit here and answer the phone, "Thank you for calling overstock.com how may I help you?" and they tell me who they need and I transfer the call. That’s about it. I don’t do any filing or run errands. I sit here bored. Lately I have been doing jigsaw puzzles online I think last week in just two days I did almost 50 puzzles. Seriously, I have nothing better to do. Course there is my co-worker Karyle who is the other receptionist. She could talk your ears off for hours. Oh my gosh she kills me most the time, sometimes I’ll be watching the news or listening to music softly and then she will turn on something louder. It’s quite annoying. She also makes drama out of anything it’s like she is in jr high school most the time

So in two weeks, I am going on another road trip with the girls. Jenn, Lizzy, Justine, and I are taking a road trip to Boise. Justine’s boyfriend goes the BSU and so we go and stay there. There is a lot of people there that went to school here so it’s not like we are just going to sit around. I love Boise Idaho they have a great night life, and people there are so so so nice. I cannot wait to go back there. Just me and my best friends. J
