Hello!!!

Hi kids!!

So, I know it's been a while, but I just want to say hello. So...hello!!

hehe, just kidding


So I've moved to Utah. I'm here. It's cold. What more do you want from me?

I'm sitting here using my brother's computer. My room is downstairs and my computer is there, but I'm too lazy right now to go down there and give you a proper blog. Oh, and I'm making brownies and they smell better up here instead of down there.

It's actually been nice here. It's been cold, and warm and snowy. Yes people, snowy!! We went to church this morning and it was snowing. It was pretty. It was like pretty rain. I liked it. And then it was not snowing this afternoon. The weather is kind of like Texas as far as the weather is a little unpredectable. It will be nice and clear one moment and a little snowy later on the same day. Oh, and we live really close to the mountains and so I get to look at them whenever I want. And right now there is snow on the mountains so I get to look at that too. We went up in the canyon the other day and it was very high but very nice. I hope to do it many more times.

I took several pictures of the trip from Texas to Utah and hope to post them soon so you can all look at them.

I love you all and miss you more!!

I'll write more soon. The brownies are done!!

Smoochies!!

I'm having a moment...

I'm having a moment when I'd like to just let it all out and say everything in my head right now that I'm thinking.

BAD IDEA!!!!

I'm upset about something right now and am afraid that I'm going to let it get the best of me. Why do I do that? Why do I let my frustrations get to me? I need to work on that.

So instead of saying what's in my head. I'm going to write this little bit to make everyone wonder what's wrong and not tell you.

I'll go tell the wall instead!

Over Sharing.....

My topic for this evening as I was thinking about this, that and the other thing is "over sharing."

Why is it that people "think" it's ok to over share and "want" to over share?? I don't need to know certain things people!!! My head has enough problems to mess with that are mine. I don't need yours.

Do people want to tell me things because it helps them get it out in the open and it's better for the world?? NO!!! Sometimes it's best to just leave it there or maybe to go stand in the corner and tell the wall instead of telling people, then you can say it but only the wall heard it. That would work, right??

This is my thought...if you're not really sure you want to say it in the first place, DON'T SAY IT!! Go tell the wall first. If it responds then maybe you should share it with other people. Ok??

Monday's - WOO HOO!!

Today is Monday. Today I LOVE Monday's!!! But today only. I'll explain.

Today was my LAST Monday at my job!! Nothing could go wrong today because it was my last Monday. Oh yeah!!

I worked just as hard, maybe harder, maybe not, but nevertheless it's over now.

WOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!!!

So now I can do it all again tomorrow. Except that it will be Tuesday!!

hehe

"Hey, can you...."

So the topic for discussion today is employers. I like my present employers very much. They are fun, energetic and we work well together. Take note: I do actually like them. Ok, read on. But there are times when their unorganization drives me nuts. Really drives me nuts. I am an organized person and I like to do things in an order. You can say that I'm a little obsessive complusive if you want, but sometimes I just need to not be working there. They drive me nuts. Did I already say that???

Anyway, I am leaving March 25th and my last day will be March 21st. I told them the middle of February that I would be leaving. That's a long time right??? I'm just checking because it seems that just this week they have potentially "hired" someone to do my job (I chuckle inside...). This person will be starting on Wednesday and I'm supposed to show them how I do my job. HAR DE HAR HAR. I do so many things that it's going to take FOREVER to show someone how to do it. I do things all the time that I bet no one even knows about. I'm the kind of person that sees something that needs to be done and I just get it done. So.....on to the title and main reason.

With all of this backstory complete, today around 6:30 (when I leave at 6:30) my boss calls me and asks the following question which leads to this discussion.

My Boss: "Hey, can you stay an extra week?"
My head: (Um...HELL NO!!)
My actual response: "No, I'm leaving the next week."
My Boss: "Ok, I didn't think so but I wanted to ask"
My head again: (YOU'RE CRAZY!!!)
My actual response: "Sorry"

My boss constantly tries to guilt trip me into staying. She doesn't want me to leave. She tells everyone there to try and persuade me to stay. Although I appreciate her needing and wanting me to stay, she's doing it way too much. I can't take it anymore. It seems like she expects me to give 150% even though I'm already giving 110%. I quote Star Trek, "She can't take it anymore Captain!!" Oh, and this is the best part.......I'm leaving right?? Ok ok, so she asked me a week or so ago if I wanted to come in and work with them on Saturday or Sunday to get some work done. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Seriously? You're kidding me right? I'm leaving, it's not going to happen. I laugh again, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!

So, I would just like to ask all of those boss' out there to remember that their employees can only do so much. The rest of the work will have to get done some other way. I think they're called Temps?? I'm just saying.....

Saturday's

I like Saturdays. I like them because you can do lots and lots of things or you can do absolutely nothing. You get to decide. Right???

This morning I had a list of things to do, because as you know, I am moving, so I have a list of things to do to take care of before I leave. But my problem is that I seem to only be able to do them on a Saturday. I have to work the rest of the week or I have Church on Sunday's and don't do much else, so my day of fun when I can do whatever I want has turned out to be a hectic day of getting things done.

Oh, and sleeping in too!!!! WOO HOO!!!!! But let's be honest...I don't really get to sleep in do I?? My sleeping schedule for the week makes me get up early so my body gets used to it, so sleeping in on Saturday morning usually consists of maybe an extra 30 minutes or an hour. Woooooooo (I was going to HOOOO, but changed my mind). Pffffff.

But actually. Now that I think about it. Today I've already gone to Walmart to do some shopping (which I don't really recommend on a Saturday morning!!) and I've eaten with my family and now my car is out getting the oil changed, tires rotated and all shined up. And the best part is that since I don't have to do any of that last part, I can sit here, listen to music and write down all of these exciting thoughts here in my head.

YEAH FOR SATURDAY!!!!!!!!

My First Blog!!

Hi there!

So I'd like to have something witty to say like my very interesting friends, but let's be honest, it's 12:30 a.m. (yes, a.m. people!!) and I'm sitting on the floor because I don't have a desk to use or chair to sit on, but hey....the floor's nice.....right???

I keep thinking that if anyone really reads this that they might get to know me a little bit better, which might be a bad thing, so I guess we'll see. But at least you might feel a little like you know a little bit of me.

I am currently listening to a new song that I heard on the way home from my parents tonight called "Stop and Stare" from OneRepublic. I had already liked the band a little but now I like them MUCH MORE!! I'm currently in a soft music moment in my life. My life seems to be going very fast and I'm not really sure if I have a lot of control over it (which is hard because I'm a control freak....) so I'm doing the best I can. Or at least I hope so.

I was just thinking that I should put a disclaimer on this thing that says "READ WITH CAUTION". But let's be honest...if you're reading this you probably already know me and nothing I can say would be a shocker to you. So go ahead, read on. No really, go ahead.

I am moving soon and am leaving a lot of people that I really love and am having a hard time with it. As much as I want to stay and do all of the same things with all of these great people, I just can't stay. My life isn't really all I wanted it to be. For the last several years I have wanted something different. Something more. And for whatever reason I haven't been able to have that. I need to try and find that and if that means I need to be a little more proactive, then I will do that. I desperately need to try. I don't want to be without those things in my life anymore. I want to have that complete life. I want to be a wife and a mother. That's all I've ever wanted. And if that means I need to get out there far away from many of the things that I love to find it, then ok. I hope everyone that thinks I'm leaving them will forgive me. It seems that all I ever get when I tell people is the same reply of "WHY?", "You can't go." I don't want people to be sad about it, I want people to be happy. It's like I just took away their favorite thing and am not going to give it back. It's not helping people. It will be ok. Life will go on without me. You've all convinced me to start a blog, so just read all the crazy things I put on here and I'll do the best I can to keep up with it. So wish me luck!! I'm already a little freaked out about it anyway.

I just want to tell everyone that I love them all very much. My life is a very blessed life. I am surrounded by wonderful people. I have intelligent, funny, caring friends and a great family that loves me. How did I get so lucky? So, thank you. From the bottom of my little toes.

I'm going to go to bed now. Tomorrow is a new day and I have lots of things to do so goodnight or good morning. I'll try and write something a little better next time. Oh, and I'll try and put pictures on here for fun.

Love ya tons and tons, plus one.
