Random Thoughts

Just a couple random thoughts:

Why must I hate all the things that are good for me? For one . . .the gym. I really don't enjoying going, but since I paid over $500 to go, I feel I must. I don't like running, and it's too hot to run outside. I don't own a bike, so that option is out. I bought a tennis racket a little while ago. Still haven't used it. But I did buy some cute pink wrist sweatband things. I do like the way I feel after I go though.

I'm really glad that all the good shows are over right now because I was watching way too much tv. Though I will admit that I am addicted to American Gladiators. I'm trying to convince Angela that she should be a contender.

The one thing I do like about running around Provo is smelling all the lilac bushes!! I LOVE LILACS!! Pretty much my favorite smell ever.

I love when you hear a song for the first time and you just fall in love with it. I think it would be so cool to be able to write a song like that.

I hate that I have such little confidence in my abilities. I know that I hold myself back from achieving greater things. Not sure how I am going to overcome this. Good thing I have some time to work on it.

Hiking . . .What was I thinking?

I finally hiked the Y last week. I vowed never to climb it, but finally decided to get it out of the way. The weather was nice and I was sort of in the mood to get some exercise. Let's just say that I forgot how much I hate hiking. If Angela hadn't been there to force me to the top, there is no way I would have made it. The view was nice, but I'm not really sure it was worth it. Here are a few pictures from the not so pleasant hike.

Lazy Day

Do you ever have those days when you feel extremely ambitious? I pretty much did absolutely nothing today (which I haven't done in a really long time and rather enjoyed it) which gave me a lot of time to think. I have all these new goals that I want to accomplish in the next couple months. Of course I'm sure I will forget all about them by tomorrow. Too bad my ambition usually just influences my thoughts and not my actions.

Something else I had time to think about today . . . how grateful I am for good friends. The random texts, emails and phone calls make me so happy! I can't even imagine what I would do if I didn't have people to talk to when I am making big decisions or going through a tough time. So thank you all for your love and support!! Love you all!

Also, I hate Satan.

Vegas

Warm . . . trashy. That's all I really have to say.

Polka Dots on Wheels

I had some DP today, so of course I can't sleep. Therefore, I have decided to blog. I had a late night at work, getting ready for a huge show next week. I'm really nervous about how it is all going to pan out, but I am also really excited. I bought new luggage for my birthday:

And I am so excited to use it!! Isn't it pretty?! I want to travel all the time now so I can use it more. Not really, but I do need to find more opportunities to use it. Maybe I should take one to work every so often. That wouldn't be weird or anything.

Spring has Sprung

It is so hard to think of something interesting to write. I still have a love/hate relationship with P-town. The weather is being bipolar, but at least some of the pretty pink blossoms are out!

I am battling my addition to shopping. Last weekend the mall won, but this weekend I was victorious. I think I made my way to the checkout in at least five stores, but always talked myself out of the purchase. Two hours and I didn't spend any money, except on the vending machine when I was trying to buy a bottle of water. And of course the machine ate my money and failed to dispense my drink. Lesson learned on that one.

My sister is having another baby . . . number three! Three in three. She's pretty crazy, but I am super excited. I hope it's a boy. I want to buy cute little sneakers and baseball caps.

Stiff Necks and High Heads

I am such a snob. I had to venture up north to a mall (which I will not name so as to not offend anyone) this afternoon to pick up some bridesmaid dresses. (I'm very excited about the dresses by the way.) As I was walking around the mall, all I could think of was, "Wow, these people are really white trash." Granted, I haven't really heard that many great things about this particular region, so maybe it's reputation proceeded it, but really that is no excuse for my judgment. I kept thinking, "Hey, I may not love the town I'm in, but at least there aren't that many white trash people there."

It wasn't until tonight that a scripture that I read a couple nights ago came to mind. You know the one, Jacob 2:13-14 . . .

because some of you have obtained more abundantly than that of your brethren ye are lifted up in the pride of your hearts, and wear stiff necks and high heads because of the costliness of your apparel, and persecute your brethren because ye suppose that ye are better than they.

And now, my brethren, do ye suppose that God justifieth you in this thing? Behold, I say unto you, Nay. But he condemneth you, and if ye persist in these things his judgments must speedily come unto you.

Consider myself condemned.
