The Last Option

I'm sorry but I don't have any new pictures on this post.

I really want to, but I just got the newest software for my computer (which is AWESOME) and am very very happy!

You may wonder what has been keeping me from blogging during this month. Well let's talk about some options. There's my job. That could be one. I am enjoying it though! Been keeping busy. There's my calling in the ward, which is to text people when events or activities happen. Also takes about....during the busy weeks, a half hour.....or maybe twenty minutes. But let's look at the real time waster......Can we say "Friends" altogether?! FRIENDS! I have been watching Friends. No not actual people I know, but the T.V. series from long ago. That's a good place to spend all my time! But I have to say Chandler is the funniest, I think. So, that series went for a really long time. Ten seasons to be exact. I started these about three weeks ago. Can you guess where I'm at? I just finished the first disk of Season 8. That's why I haven't blogged.

Other good news, all should be happy to know that I have begun receiving basic guitar lessons from my laptop. Actually he's a man inside my laptop named Tim. And as all of you know, Tim is NOT the name of my computer. But I'm not cheating on him, or either of them. We're all FRIENDS!

This is being delivered at the end of the month of August. I keep my word. Ha ha! :)

Talk to ya'll later.

Flying Time!

I am now sitting in the San Antonio Airport waiting to board my flight! I'm so excited to come home, even if it is only for a little bit! I can't wait. My family is doing their annual vacation to Lagoon and Salt Lake City! However, while going through security one of my headphones broke, so I had to grab a new one.....expensive even for the cheap one. But I'm okay. I had to have my headphones! What else am I supposed to listen to?

Two posts in one month?! This is insane!

Some quick updates on my life:

For July weekend, on July 3rd (to beat out the crowds) I and my roommate went to downtown San Antonio and hung out at the Riverwalk. We went and had an excellent lunch.

Went and saw the new Star Trek movie - very great! Lots of action. I really hot guys! It's all good.

I'm planning on watching the newest Harry Potter movie coming out this week! I'll be going with my roommates! Very exciting.

I watched a couple of seasons of the office - I love Jim and Pam and the pranks that they play on Dwight.

I think the final thing is a great fun experience. We recently got a trampoline at our house. A quick rainstorm started coming down and I was the only one at home. So the first place I ran to was the trampoline! Of course! I loved it! Once it gets all filled with water, the moisture comes back up when you come down! It was awesome! I started getting pictures taken once a roommate and her friend got home but the rain had stopped coming down by then. :( However, we still got some pictures and then another roomie joined me on the trampoline! I know that I look dorky in all these shots, but hey, I just need to practice being more photogenic on a trampoline. It's always good to have a goal! :)



There's also a little video:


And people wonder why I'm not married yet. Crazy!

Transformers 2 and 4th of July Plans

Hey! I'm getting a head start on this month and putting in a new post like, the first day of the month. Pretty much awesome!


I actually did go and do something last night.....I got to go and see the newest Transformers! I loved the special effects! I thought it was good (and I already like the score and part of the soundtrack cause I've been listening to those.

Other than that, I have not done really anything new except work. However, for the 4th of July, one of my roommates and I will be heading to downtown San Antonio to eat out along the River Walk. It'll be crowded but should be a great deal of fun!

Well, I'm going to leave you with another Anthony Griffiths youtube video because I find him way WAY funny and hope that you do too!

"We was in the kitchen! Where'd dirt come from?!"

Ha ha, I love it!

Inciting Fights!

Okay, so, I figure once a month, I'll can put an update up of my blog. In honor of father's day, I'm putting up a url for a video on youtube by a comedian named Anthony Griffiths. I thought it was so funny! This guy is great! This one is called The Holdup! Go real men!!!! :o)

Happy father's day to my dad! (Even though he doesn't have the internet so he won't get this.)

I'm going to be going to Idaho in July but I'll only be there for Saturday, cause my family will be leaving for their annual vacation in Utah. But I'm really excited to go! I've got my plane tickets and the time cleared out at work!

A Day In The Life Of Me!!!

Okay, so we wanted a more in depth look into what I actually do with myself throughout the day.....

.....

Oh, man! What do I do with myself all day?.........

Well, I......no, I don't..........

I might..........nope, never mind........

Alright, new plan. We'll start with common features.

I normally wake up about 6:30 a.m., but laze about my bed til 7:30 a.m. before leaping out of my bed and getting ready for my work day. One of the things I like best about work is you could get dressed up if you want, but for the most part, I can dress as I did going to class except no t-shirts unless they have some influence or involvement from the company. It makes me happy that I can still be relaxed and comfortable there. (I haven't tried dressing up for work since the first day.)

I get to work ~8:00 a.m., try to figure out what I'm supposed to be doing at work. I have been buying boxes of Twix and Snickers at Coscos, so I've been keeping myself well-supplied with chocolate while at work. I try to exercise my will-power by not having one until after 10a.m., some days I'm more successful then others, and it inevitably happens that as soon as I break down and have one type of candy bar, nothing will be acceptable but to have the other one soon after. After all, it's swine flu season apparently, and with that going around, I'm not going to risk a single day of getting sick, so I'm eating the chocolate for self-preservation and medical reasons!


Normally, at 12:00, I go to a 10 min abs class. I don't have to dress down for it, so I can just show up and do the little workout. I'm trying to develop my one pack that I have into at least something resembling a different type of pack of any other number combinations. After working out we walk the company building, which makes it almost a two mile walk in less then 30 mins. It's pretty relaxing for me as I'm able to go really fast with my joy in walking and natural long stride.

Then it's back to me trying to figure out work or not. I might go and grab lunch, or bring my own, or not eat and instead have the fruit snacks that say they're giving me 100% of my Vitamin C, which is the reason why they are not pictured in the photo above. I also have a standing issue with some left-over chocolate mini-eggs that I hoarded over from Easter. This year, I bought in bulk before Easter when I would find them at Wal-mart. The day before Easter, I had accumulated about 10 bags of mini-eggs for storage during the time til Christmas, when, hopefully, Cadbury will bring out it's holiday Christmas mini-eggs. Of course, the Easter bags are not lasting like I hope, as you can see from the picture there are only three bags left (though one is not shown as it is at my work desk). I have given myself restrictions when having them at work. I can only open a new bag of them sometime after 3:00p.m. (as it takes me much less then an hour to eat an entire bag by myself), and any leftovers (ones that miraculously were not consumed before the end of my work day that day) cannot be consumed until after 3:00p.m. the next time that I wish to eat them (which normally falls on the next day). But what I've found, is that with my knowledge of my dwindling supply, I am not as likely to open a new bag as often. So I torture myself everyday with seeing it in my candy drawer at work, but have not as much desire to open it as they could be close to an extinct food source for me. I have them on days that I cannot resist them anymore. And by the way, I am still trying to work during these internal struggles that I have with myself.

At ~5:00p.m., I head down to one of the fitness centers that they have with work and I run on the treadmill for about 40 mins. I'm normally able to get about 3.5 miles of running in, which I really love doing. I'm feeling the chocolate consumption working through my body, so I feel really great about consuming it. Then, and this is really surprising, I've started lifting weights and stuff, so after my run, I probably spend about another 40 mins going around to different machines, focusing on strengthening my arms and just doing some stuff for my legs for fun! It's been really good for me to get back into an exercise routine, as I never did at college because it would make me too tired and then I would never get my homework done (how can you stay up all night working on homework when you are exhausted!). Anyway, in the picture below you can see my workout bag that I use.

After work and working out, the traffic has dissapated enough for me to get comfortably home in Schultz and from there I've been playing around. I've been decorating the walls of my room with puzzles. Some of them are old ones from college that I really love and then others are new ones that I've done recently to take up more space.

I've gotta get ready for church now, so I'm going to post since they come so few and far between. But anyway the next two pictures are of me in a shirt that my parents got me when they went on their trip with Greg to the East coast. They got me an awesome chocolate shirt that I absolutely adore from Hershey's Time Square in New York!

I'll try to post more things that I've been doing tonight, but of course.....let's not hold me to my word.

"As Time Goes By......"

Okay, I know that I have been just awful. I would like to take this opportunity to tell Cami that I am sorry that I didn't post anything on my blog a couple of Sundays ago, when I had told her that I would be doing that as soon as I got off the phone with her. A definition for "Liar" is: a person who lies. A definition for "Lies" is: to present a false impression, be deceptive. I would like it understood that at the time that I said it, it was not a lie, but turned into a lie when I did not do what I said. And to quote Hagrid from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, "If anyone wanted ter find out some stuff, all they'd have ter do would be ter follow the spiders. That'd lead 'em right! That's all I'm sayin'."

Anyway, many have been wondering how I am liking Texas! I'm doing great! Right now I'm living in a house with six other girls, so it's still like being in college, only I'm working 40 hours a week instead. But it's kind of late at night right now, so I'll have to post more later, however I should be more apt to do that because I want to talk about what I've been doing while I'm down here. So I'll write that to ya'll later!
