Another Boring Post

Today I worked for 4.5 hours at Archiver's; I know that doesn't sound exciting (and it wasn't!), but I got to work with two girls that I really love, Keera and Melanie. It started snowing right when Caleb and I got ourselves to school and work, so the snow scared everyone away from the mall. We didn't make much money at all in the 4.5 hours that I was at work, so the three of us girls got to work on projects and just have fun.

And Caleb took off work tonight, so we're going to reality TV it up and have a fun night. I hope it's fun, because tomorrow may be a very sad day.

400 Level Class

A girl I visit teach asked me why Caleb and I attend basketball games (but she intonated all sports in general). My immediate response was "It's because we like competition," but I think it's a lot more than that. The conversation turned away from sports, but for some reason I can't stop thinking about her question. Caleb and I love to attend any sporting event; we have fun rooting for the home team and celebrating great plays on either side. There's something about feeding off the energy of the crowd and being able to turn to the strangers around you and high five and scream together. Also, there's always the potential to rush the field after a big win. All of these things are impossible when you're sitting on your bum at home, watching the game on TV. Besides, after all this proof, I just don't understand why one would begrudge someone else going to see a sport that they like. It's all just silly.


I haven't been feeling great the last 3 or 4 days. And, granted, I haven't been feeling 100% for awhile, but these past few days have made me really sick of being sick. Unfortunately, my specialist appointment was moved from today to Thursday, so I have to wait an extra two days to find out why my ear and head has been going crazy for so long. Until then, I'll just keep downing the meds and feeling guilty about Caleb waiting on me hand and foot. He is super, extra nice.

I'm so excited now that American Idol has started. It gives me something silly and awesome to look forward to and another television show to be obsessed with. I can't wait until the auditions are over so we can get to Hollywood week; for some reason, that is one of my favorite parts of the show. Yaaaaay TV.

Who Boosts the Boosters?

I can't wait to start the exercise routine with Caleb in the evenings. The past couple of days, I've been feeling the groggy spell around 6ish, no matter how much sleep I've gotten the night before. This must be the sign that I need that boost of energy; it'll be an interesting thing if I'm actually right and it does boost my energy. And no matter what, I can't wait until Caleb is home in the evenings, period.

One thing that drives me crazy about working at Archiver's is that for some reason, I feel like I need to be as creative and crafty as the other girls who work there. I am the only beginner and still learning the ropes, but I want to be as off-the-cuff amazing. So, tonight, I ordered 20 free Disney photos from snapfish.com and I opened my new Disney scrapbook and I'm envisioning amazing pages coming forth from my head. Something like that, something.

And I'm on the phone with Caleb, wanting to break out the old Carmen Electra workout videos. I'm pretty stoked about it, actually. Yay!

Tonight: American Idol!

Reflection

Going to school showed me that my whole reason for college was to get married. I know, the M.R.S. degree isn't going to really impress anyone (except the unmarried BYU co-eds) and maybe I'll go back someday, but Caleb and I haven't really talked about it recently. What I'm doing with most of my time is working at a scrapbooking store called Archiver's; I started out as a customer service rep, not really knowing anything about scrapbooking or caring to know anything about it. Now, I'm the media representative, going on TV to show news anchors and local daytime talk shows how to scrapbook and craft their way to glory. I still know nothing about it and don't ever do it myself, but I can fake my way for TV. Sometime, I'll put my spots on youtube and dirty up the internet even more.

Marriage is fantastic; we've almost been married 6 months and have it down pretty well. We are living in BYU married apartments. I work from 7-3 most days, while Caleb is at school and then he works on campus from 5-9. I haven't had to do all the wifey things so far; we never eat dinner together and we take turns doing all of the chores around the house. I figure once I start popping out babies, I'll probably take over the lion's share of it, but until then... Yeah, still the same. Caleb is great. That's all there is.

It Takes a Thief

Tonight, on "The Office," Karen is going to ask Jim if he has feelings for Pam still. I cannot wait to see how that'll turn out. And, on another Office note, I had a dream last night that Dwight and I were in love. When I woke up, I felt so....wrong.

Today is the last of my three days off in a row; it was totally awesome to just do whatever I wanted for these past couple of days, but I suppose I'll have fun going back to work too. Tomorrow is one of my co-worker's birthday, so I can't decide whether or not I should make a cake or not. The last time someone brought cake to work for a birthday, there was a pan debacle that lasted months!

I'm missing the California weather in this single digit Utah winter. I'm also coming to terms with not going to Disneyland for awhile, which is always a weird realization. Most people only go once in a lifetime, but I have become so used to multiple trips in a year.

And pretty much it's a regular Thursday.

Golden Globe Fever

We're watching the Golden Globes right now. We'll be sleeping in clean sheets tonight and a girl at work offered to buy me a pregnancy test during her break today. So, obviously, a good day for me today. Except for the nausea thing.

Today, Caleb had the day off school, but I still went into work at 7 am. It got to be double digit weather for about an hour today, so you can imagine how freezing it was at 6:45 when I got to work! Luckily, it was almost a tropical heat wave inside the store and there were too many customers to notice.

And I just ordered a cup of chocolate pudding with a wave of my finger. Awesome.

I have a doctor's appointment at the Student Health Center in two days to fix my blocked eustachian tube dysfunction. I'm hesitant that it will actually work, but I guess it's my quarterly doctor's appointment to remedy it. And forget hesitant - add completely unconvinced.

I was two for two at the beginning of this awards show; now, I'm pretty much two for N. I'm bad at this game. Caleb just promised that if he ever wins a golden globe, at the end of his speech, he'll point to the crowd and say "And remember - all of you are like Transformers, with more than meets the eye." Killer.

I Punched My Husband in my Sleep

I'm kinda feeling like <----- this at the moment. Not like, falling down on the floor wretched, but just kind of down. This could be for a lot of reasons - the vacation being over, the never ending snow, feeling like a totally different (and sometimes worse) person than I was a year ago. A lot of that has to do with not necessarily working on the outside as much I was focusing on the inside this year. I worked on my spirituality, my caring of other people and being a better person. Doing that, I let go of the outside. Now, I'm sort of resolving to do better on that. If I make it a resolution for the new year, however, I might not make it; therefore, I'm only SORT of resolving. That's how I like it.

In order to do all that, I'm smoothing out my face, I'm getting a great haircut, doing other things that might help me out on the outside. But, I can't see the end result.

Tryin' So Hard

I had wanted to write on this blog every day, but since I've been in California, I've been too busy partying to actually do it. Man, now that I'm home, I'm going to try super hard. SUPER hard.

My New Year's resolution is to save up money for the Prince concert that I'm going to with Megan later this year. It's expensive and I am going to save up my loose change!

On the travel up to Utah, we got caught in a blizzard 90 miles south of Provo. It was dark and we could not see in front of us at all, so Caleb pulled off the highway and we checked into a hotel in Scipio. We got one of the last three rooms (with a king size bed!) and had a hard night's sleep. The Warrior also didn't sleep well and he was grumpy on the hour long drive up this morning; he might have also been grumpy because he had to travel in a box to and from California when he could have stayed home. Anyway, we are now home safely, but with another adventure under our belts!
