Beige

I was having a conversation with a friend the other night and she described a person as being beige. That is how I feel lately. That I am beige. I feel like I am lacking color and excitement and passion in my life. I know that I used to be a more colorful person and I don't know when or why I turned beige, but I want the color back in my life! So I know that this is silly and pretty lame, but I am asking the people that read my blog to help me remember the color that I have in my life. I trust each of your opinions and am seeking your advice in how to become a colorful person once again!

Em made me do it...

Doctor Discrimination

So my wrist has been hurting for like 2 weeks now and I am finally giving in an wanting to go to the doctor to see what's wrong.

I haven't been to the doctor since I moved to Utah and don't really care who I go to at this point.

I have called 2 different doctors (one in Provo and the other in Orem) this week to see if I could set up an appointment to see them. Both receptionists asked if I was a current patient of Dr. So-and-So. I replied "no". Their next question was "are you pregnant?" Again I replied "no". They then both proceeded to tell me that Dr. So-and-So was not taking any new patients at the time that were not pregnant.

What's a girl gotta do to see a doctor in this town???

I didn't realize how much this town was obsessed with marriage and family until they denied me medical treatment on the basis of my lack of pro-creation!

Opera

I went to the opera on Saturday night! It was a lot of fun. I went with a few of my co-workers at the Provo Library to see this.

I feel so cultured!

Mad Hot Ballroom Party

I will be having a "Mad Hot Ballroom" Party at my apartment this Friday starting at 7:30. We'll watch the movie, have some treats and just have fun!

I live at Carriage Cove and you can call me if you need directions.

It will be a blast!

P.S. You can't park in the parking lot after 9pm so you might want to initally park on the street or be prepared to move your car around 9.

Happy Blogaversary to Me!!

So tomorrow (March 7th) is my one year Blogaversary.

As I think over this past year I think of laughter, tears, crazy people and jokes about your mom!

Happy birthday little blog!!

P.S. I finally got a hold of a copy of the movie "Mad hot ballroom"! If you wanna see it give me a call and we can have a party!!

Decision

March is going to be a great month! Winter is on it's way out and the weather has been perfect the last couple of days! I'm ready to be a happy girl again, and this new weather just might do the trick!

Fun at work

I was talking to one of our "computer guys" at work (Provo) a day or two after valentines day. He replaced a floppy drive and gave the bad one to me to be thrown away. I made a snide comment like "oh this is what I've always wanted!". Later that night he brought me this!


If you can't read the bottom it says: "Just what every girl wants on valentines day, a bunch of broken hard drive parts"
This "valentine" made my day!

On a different note... tonight at the Provo Library I was talking to one of my supervisors. She was saying how there was a suspicious bag left last night at closing time. It was a black bag that sort of looked like a camera case. It was making noises and they weren't sure if it could possibly be bomb related. So they called the library director and the police. The police sent in the bomb squad and they apparently detonated the device. It turned out not to be a bomb, but someone's scriptures! That cracks me up that they blew up scriptures. That may not be "kosher" but I still think it's funny. No one has yet asked for the bag, but if they do they will have to talk to the police for causing such a ruckus!

Cruisin'

So I went on a cruise last week.

It was fabulous!

I didn't like feeling the swaying motions hours after getting off the boat. I didn't like the street vendors following me around and showing me dirty shot glasses.

I didn't really mind having an older woman "assist" me in seeing the sharks. I didn't mind so much hanging out in the airport for 5 hours, but I wouldn't do it everyday!

I loved being in 70+ degree weather. I loved eating and eating and eating. I loved Sea World and kayaking on the ocean at Catalina Island. I loved watching a sea otter play king of the hill and keep knocking her fellow sea otter friends off the rock. I loved the crazy captains messages each day as we left port.

I loved hanging out with good friends and making some new ones.


That is all.

Grace

Fresh from Heaven

My best friend Sariah had her baby early this morning!

Grace Aryn was born at 2:28am on January 24th. She weighed 6 lbs. 7 oz. and is 19 inches long.
She has curly black hair and is so cute!!!

Here's a picture of Sariah and I with Grace, although you can't see Grace very well. When I get some better pictures of the baby I will post!

International Cinema

Nama and I saw this movie tonight with my friend Sara. It was such a good movie!

24

My 24th birthday is tomorrow!
I never imagined that I would still be single at 24. I thought that I would be married and possibly have a family by now. When I was growing up and learned that my mom didn't get married until 24, I always thought that that was so old! I now know how young 24 really is. I have learned a lot in my 24 years and have had great life experiences. But I am sure when I look back after another 24 years I will see how little I knew at 24. It's interesting how life works out. There are so many things in life that I wish that I would have right now and so often I ache for a loving companion and a family of my very own. And yet, I am also so thankful for the independence and freedom that I have by being single.
I know that I have a lot to learn in the rest of my life and I pray that 24 will be the best year yet!

New Shoes

So I discovered this website a few months ago. Cinderella's of Boston makes grown-up shoes for little feet! I really like lots of the shoes they have. And this week I saw that some of my favorites are on sale. Since these shoes are a little more expensive than I usually spend, it was nice to see them on sale! So I ordered a few pairs *cough 4 cough*! I'm excited for them to come and for me to have grown-up shoes. Because frankly you can only wear Barbie for so many years before it gets old! And speaking of old a 24-year-old cannot be taken seriously while wearing Dora the Explorer sneakers!

Movie

I watched "Dreamer" last night (with Dakota Fanning)at the dollar theater. It was so good! I recommend it to everyone!!

Big Baby!

Check out this video! The anchorwoman's commentary cracks me up!

New Addiction

So one of my co-workers was telling me about this game that's becoming popular all over the country:
Sudoku




















Each row and column has the numbers 1-9 in it. So does each box. You can't repeat the same number in the same column, row, or box. It's sort of like a crossword but with numbers. It's way fun!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Christmas Elf

Yesterday I was at work (at the Provo Library) minding my own business when my boss calls me. She tells me that the director of the Library would like me to be an elf in the Provo Christmas Parade on Saturday morning. Well what could I do? I mean this was my boss asking me on behalf of her boss to represent the library at the parade. So I did the only thing I could do. I said Yes and a few hours later I found my self at Taylor Maid renting a costume for said event. The city is paying for my costume rental and I am expecting major brownie points from my boss! If any of you want to see me make a fool of myself for the entire town of Provo...come watch the parade. It starts at 10 am on Saturday morning and goes from 5th West to 1st West and back along Center Street.


oh how do i get myself into these things?

Flat Tire

I was headed up Provo Canyon last night to visit some friends in Heber. I was about halfway up the canyon when I got a flat tire!
It all turned out alright though! I just called to have some of my friends help me!
I am so thankful for cell phones though! Not even one person stopped to try to help me!!
