X-WORDS

I get bored in my classes, especially the ones without cell phone service. So I have found a way by doing sudoku and the crossword puzzles in the Daily Universe. The only problem is that I've gotten good at sudoku's and do them fast, and the crosswords get harder each day.

But I saw at the bottom of the NY Times crossword puzzle a website for more puzzles! YAY!

So at work I tried it out and loved it. I am addicted to it now. I figure it's a healthy addiction right? Why not? I'm only getting addicted to something that can further my knowledge and brain.

2010

It's a new year and a fresh start. I'm very excited to go to ballet tomorrow although I'm afraid I won't do very well. All but one class is full of girls and/or married boys. I like living away from home, being able to see my great friends, but I miss being home with good and healthy food, warm cats and fighting over the thermostat temperature with my mom.

And no, I have no New Year's resolutions. I make them when they come. I got a lot of new books today which could be exciting except for the money part.

OH, and Valentines day is coming up which could possibly be the worst holiday of the year.

Welcome 2010

New Moon

I went to the New Moon midnight showing Thursday night! After reading all of the twilight series books I hated both Jacob and Edward and didn't care, but after seeing that movie I am all for Jacob (the werewolf). It's sad isn't it?

But just look at him :)

Heart + Wish = Dream

While I was helping to babysit, Alliyah was watching Cinderella and on came the song "A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes." It has a cute sentimental feeling, but lately I've been having some odd dreams. One where I'm being made to visit my ex-boyfriend and his new wife. And the other I had a baby girl, but I was so busy that I wasn't able to be with her even though she was only two days old. I don't think these dreams are something my heart would wish for.

Home is Where the Heart Is

I love going home on weekends.

I can do my laundry on Saturdays, and spend time with my family on Sundays.

My brother picked me up around 3 today to bring me home for family dinner. Close to 4 my dad called to say he was coming home from church and asked if mom was asleep. I said mom wasn't here. He told me she went home with another lady so I went over to her house and found my mom and her cooking food for the singles ward "break the fast." Until they realized it didn't start until 4:30. I helped and had fun cooking with them. Soon the ward began to show up and saw many of my friends from the summer. It was wonderful to talk with so many people I have a friendship with. We had plenty of food and probably just enough for everyone. And it was good food!

I love going home on weekends.

Sick of being sick

I am sick of being sick. I was sick two weeks ago with a cold and got through it fine with midnight popsicles and plenty of pills. All I had left was a somewhat sniffly nose. Come Sunday morning of Conference, I woke up at 7 a.m. in agony. There was pain throughout my body including my jaw, my throat was killing me and it hurt to swallow. I couldn't fall back asleep so I went downstairs to take some pills and eat a banana so I wouldn't puke them up, then I went back upstairs to take a bath to soothe my aching body and my orange cat came in to see what was happening at 7 a.m.

I soon fell asleep again in my bed once the pills began to work and woke up at 11:30 a.m. just in time for the last talk which I didn't hear anyways. I survived that day but my throat was in agony again the next morning. So I stayed home from school and work and called my doctor's office to get some pills called in which happened so my throat has been feeling a lot better during the day but I had no popsicles to soothe my throat for a midnight snack. But luckily I purchased them tonight so I can't wait for midnight snacks!

Webmd gave me the answer : tonsillitis

But I'm sick of being sick.

Green with Envy

Green is my absolutely favorite color.

Of all time.

Hot Diggity Dog

I love the feeling of waiting in line for a ticket, heading for a last bathroom trip, sitting down in semi comfortable chairs, hearing and feeling the slight tug of dried soda pop beneath your shoes, passing around the hot buttery popcorn, trying not to chew during the intense quiet parts, the slurping sound of an almost empty cup, that one baby or cell phone going off and missing your favorite line of the movie, seeing the attractive actors, not wanting to leave once the credits hit, stretching your arms from sitting for too long, not being able to see the bright outside, sad that the movie is over, and looking out the back window in awe of the one place with so many feelings.

My Little Pony

Every time I say "pretty pretty princess!" I think of My Little Pony. Not sure why.

Pretty Pretty Princess is my cat Lillian. There is no other way to describe her; she is just that.

And actually she is sitting behind me right now and trying to lick my arm to shreds.

Oh and bumping into me...

cats are odd

All Hallows Eve

I know it's way too early to be thinking about what I want to be for Halloween this year, but ever since I bought some bandanas and a three barrel roll, I've had two ideas.

The first is to be a flapper; the three barrel roll makes my hair really wavy and since it's so short, I look like a flapper. My great grandmother was a flapper and my mom still has most of her clothes. There's a costume right there.

A while back, I helped my dad with a film project, so I kept my short hair back with a tan bandana and decided that I felt like Rosie the Rivet

er. I could just curl my bangs in the front and cover the back up then get the clothes and I could be Rosie!
